Some of the key messages in the document are about learning from failures and using them as motivation to improve and succeed.

Some examples given are Dhirubhai Ambani, Abdul Kalam, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Lionel Messi, Tony Blair, Albert Einstein, J.K. Rowling and Thomas Edison.

The advice given is that failures are a learning experience and should motivate you to try differently rather than give up. Winners are those who face failures but never quit.

Jump to success
You should focus for what you are talented,
‹ D A Kalpaja rather than what you want to be.
Director, VIMS
D Just because you experience a setback does not
mean it’s time to give up, in fact failure means you
have learnt something and you have to do something
differently. Failure does not mean you have wasted
your life, instead you have reason to start a fresh.
Probably who never made a mistake never made a
success.
Life is not about what you could not do so far, it’s
about what you can still do. Winners are not people
who never failed, they are the one who never quit.
There are many achievers who struggled in their life
before achieving success, to quote a few
z Dhirubhai Ambani worked in a petrol bunk
z Abdul Kalam was rejected in the interview of
pilot
z Amitabh Bacchan was rejected for the job of All
India Radio, because of his baritone.
z Sachin Tendulkar failed in 10th standard
z Michael Jordan was dropped out from his high
school basketball team
z Bill Gates did not even complete his university
education
z Lionel Messi worked as a tea server in a shop to
support his football training
z Tony Blair was called as a “Failure” by his
teachers
z Albert Einstein was called as “slow” and also
“mentally handicapped” by his teachers. In fact
he did not speak until he turned four years, and
did not read until he was seven
z J K Rowling’s book “Harry Potter” was rejected
twelve times by the publishers
z Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times while creating
a light bulb. But learnt 10000 ways not to create
light bulb.
Hence failure is a stepping stone to your
success. So work hard with a strong mind.
Remember not to keep postponing work. Set your
goals, overcome the obstacle, have a positive
attitude, accept the challenges, and thus prove
what you are.

of red eyes are dry eyes, infections caused due to bacteria

http://www.altiushospital.com

Ovaries are a woman’s reproductive organs that make female hormones and
release an egg from a follicle (a small fluid-filled sac) each month. The follicle is
usually about 2-3 cm when measured across (diameter) but sometimes can be larger.
An ovarian cyst is a larger fluid-filled sac (more than 3 cm in diameter) that
develops on or in an ovary. A 2 cyst can vary in size from a few centimetres to the size
of a large melon. Ovarian cysts may be thin-walled and only contain fluid (known
as a simple cyst) or they may be more complex, containing thick fluid, blood or solid
areas.
There are many different types of ovarian cyst that occur before the
menopause, examples of which include:
z A simple cyst, which is usually a large follicle that has continued to grow after
an egg has been released; simple cysts are the most common cysts to occur before
the menopause and most disappear within a few months
z An endometrioma - endometriosis, where cells of the lining of the womb are
found outside the womb, sometimes causes ovarian cysts and these are called
endometriomas
z A dermoid cyst, which develops from the cells that make eggs in the ovary, often
contains substances such as hair and fat.
Other types of cyst on the ovary are less common.
