Unleash Your Power With Personal Development by: Scott A. Sutton When we look at a certain object, a painting for example – we won’t be able to appreciate what’s in it, what is painted and what else goes with it if the painting is just an inch away from our face. But if we try to take it a little further, we’ll have a clearer vision of the whole art work. We reach a point in our life when we are ready for change and a whole bunch of information that will help us unlock our self improvement power. Until then, something can be staring us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self improvement power is when everything got worst. Take the frog principle for example – Try placing Frog A in a pot of boiling water. What happens? He twerps! He jumps off! Why? Because he is not able to tolerate sudden change in his environment – the water’s temperature. Then try Frog B: place him in a luke warm water, then turn the gas stove on. Wait til the water reaches a certain boiling point. Frog B then thinks “Ooh… it’s a bit warm in here”. People are like Frog B in general. Today, Anna thinks Carl hates her. Tomorrow, Patrick walks up to her and told her he hates her. Anna stays the same and doesn’t mind her what her friends says.
The next day, she learned that Kim and John also abhors her. Anna doesn’t realize at once the importance and the need for self improvement until the entire community hates her. We learn our lessons when we experience pain. We finally see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and tough. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our jeans and shirts would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. When do we pray and ask for help? When we realize that we’re gonna die tomorrow. The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self improvement power is when the whole world is crashing and falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. But change becomes more painful when we ignore it.

Greeks tried to honor their Gods
Parthenon
By “humanist” is “meant those who published, annotated and criticized the texts, first Greco-Roman and classical, later neo-Latin, vernacular and medieval, inherited by western European culture from its various pasts” (Artful Crafts, M.Vickers and D.Gill, Oxford, Claredon Press, 1994 pp. 93-96). There has never been such thing as “humanist movement”, in philosophical or any other terms. The term “humanism” was used by a German educator, F.J. Niethammer, as a special program for study to be separate from scientific and engineering programs. Humanism itself begins in Europe in middle ages. Europeans, considering themselves as a united ethnic group with the origin in Middle Ages started to concern about classical literature – both Latin and Greek.
It is known that the Greeks tried to honor their Gods through sculptures, the Greek architects started to develop techniques based on the principles of rythmos and symmetria. Two orders – Doric and Lonic – were defined as having distinct and psy chological traits. The best examples of both orders are presented in Athenian Acropolis. Parthenon is the most important monument there, it is still a universal architectural and artistic symbol. The building is about 2,500 years and it was build to honor the city’s patron goddess – Athena, who brought the salvation in Persian wars. The dimensions of Parthenon are 30.9 meters by 69.5 meters. There are special internal Doris colonnades to support the roof, and the ceiling is 29.8 meters long and 19.2 meters wide, columns themselves are 10.4 meters high. Parthenon is decorated with marble sculptures internally and externally. On all four sides of the temple there are friezes, which depict the Procession of Panathenaea - the most formal religious festival in ancient Athens. There are depicted different battles, on the northern side they probably show the Trojan War.
On the eastern side all the gods of the Greek Parthenon are shown. The scientists state that the internal ceilings were deep blue and statues were colored brightly. Others think that the upper parts of the Parthenon were bright red and blue and the sculptures could stand out if one looked at them from below. On all four sides of the building are presented the figures of gods, beasts and more than 360 humans. The whole Doric Parthenon creates the illusion of perfection with the help of irregularities.
The Greek achievements were crucial for Western civilization, their art and architecture were of great importance for Romans and European and American artists within the 19th century. Greek literature, arts and religious and philosophical ideas served the basis for development of Western civilization.
Humanism itself was not a philosophy, but it did influence the historical and political ideas of the societies, served a background for development of arts and literature. Such historical treasures as Parthenon accumulate and store the important knowledge, connecting the achievements of ancient people with present reality.

Chinese Kung Fu masters
Principle Of Enlightenment Through Meditation
Shaolin kung fu is not just about defending yourself against an attacker or inflicting bodily harm. Shaolin martial arts also stress discipline, respect for yourself and others, patience, and being humble even in victory. The mental training of Shaolin martial arts helps prepare the student for any events that may come. Being physically prepared for an altercation is good, but if you are not mentally prepared you will not be focused enough to use the tools that your body has. This is why Shaolin meditation is such an important part of the Shaolin martial arts training. Meditation may not be literally practicing your physical tools, but it allows your mind to make better use of those tools.
Keeping cool in a self defense situation is one of the best ways to ensure you will survive. Tough mental preparedness allows the body to be pushed beyond its physical limits. Out bodies can only do so much, but our minds allow for much greater feats. I am sure you have heard of "mind over matter" and the truth is that it works. When the Shaolin added mental training to their physical training the result was that their martial arts system obviously surpassed all others in application and practical results.
One form of Shaolin meditation is called "Chan" or "Zen". The Shaolin received the concept of Zen meditation from an Indian priest named Bodhidharma. What Bodhidharma did that was so unique was to introduce breathing patterns into the meditation. You see Bodhidharma would find that the Shaolin monks were falling asleep during their meditation, so he added the breathing exercises to help keep them focus on increase their mental development. To this day Shoalin Kung Fu practitioners still use Chan meditation and it has formed the basis of the Shaolin mental preparation and development.
The Shaolin monks would prepare their minds to withstand the most terrible conditions so that when faces with those conditions in the real world, they would be prepared instead of shocked. Knowing that you have the mental toughness and readiness instills a confidence that allows you to go into any situation ready to act without hesitating. Self doubt is the number one way to be defeated before the enemy has even thrown a punch.
Meditation also allows one to focus his inner energy into his actions. The Japanese call this Chi, and many Westerners have heard of it. The Chinese, however, call it Kiai. Kiai allows a Kung Fu student to do things their physical body alone cannot do. Developing control over your Kiai is a matter of intense mental strength and conditioning. While some people may scoff at the idea of Kiai, and it is true that it might be more of a mind over matter application than an actual force, but Chinese Kung Fu masters has demonstrated their control over their Kiai by doing physical feats that would otherwise be impossible.
