Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into thedirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will Happen, You will never lose your value. You are special don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

Prelude-
these days i have been asking for direction,asking for options in my life.. asking for something to show me the way .. where i ought to go,the remember odd words from friends long ago.. hear some words spoken to me..to someone else..where are we all travelling .. i don't know .. but we all believe we are going somewhere.. and that not everything is going to form contents of a satire... they say life is cruel but sometimes we remember the one insult from the ten compliments..that makes it cruel ..
i remember the words i spoke .. deeds i did.. in the past ..
remember when u believe in your dreams the whole world helps u achieve your dreams...i wanna believe..i believe.

What is a Rube Goldberg Machine? At Purdue University, the Phi chapter of the Theta Tau fraternity conducts an annual Rube Goldberg Machine contest. The contest is named after Reuben Lucius Goldberg, he drew his contraptions to satirize the new gadgets and inventions of the day... You will be given a mundane task like – Peeling an apple ,folding a piece of paper - and u have to solve it in the most complex way possible.The more the steps atleast 20 the better the Rube Goldberg Machine is.
you ask me where did i learn this crap from..
well the source is Abhay Sukumaran(one of my senoirs who gave gre and got a perfect score) Article on how to crack GRE..
the idea is you can make a simple task such as cracking GRE as difficult as u like if u want...
rube goldberg inventions showed man's ability to exert maximal effort to return minimal ouput...he believed that there two ways of doing a particular thing .. a simple way and a hard way.. and i believe we all like taking the hard way.. .. here is to taking a simple way..
and to decrease complexities in life ..
