Which puzzle gives your brain or your kid's brain the best workout ?
SUDOKU, a seemingly simple numbers game that hails from Japan,
has become the biggest and most addictive puzzle craze on the internet, newspaper, magazines, classrooms and even the mobile phones.
So how good is Sudoku?
The rules are simple, but the game is far from simplistic. An advanced Sudoku could have you scratching your head all day before finally giving up.
But is it the ultimate mind workout, as many believe - or are there better ways to boost your brainpower?
So what Exactly Is SUDOKU All About ?
Sudoku is a mathematical puzzle in a very basic and elementary sense. A solver repeatedly counts and subtracts (working out what is missing from row, column or box) and calculates.
The assertion that 'there is no maths involved' is not only irritating, it is a little ridiculous.
If there is a three there, there can't be a three there, or there, but there could be one there " or there. Or it could be a five.
That sentence would have meant nothing a year ago, but since then, to millions of newspaper readers, including those of this one and its Sunday sister, it has become all too familiar. We have become a nation of Sudoku puzzle addicts.
The instructions are deceptively simple. Fill in the nine-column grid so that every row, every column and every 3 x 3 box within it contains the digits 1- 9.
And no, you don't have to be a mathematician or particularly numerate " The Independent on Sunday runs one based one letters rather than numbers " to do it.
You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
Math skills aren't necessary, although thinking inside the box is.
Sudoku Puzzle develops your child's reasoning skills and concentration.
Reports :
The UK government-produced Teachers magazine has recommended that Sudoku Puzzles are done in the classroom as brain exercise!

There are benefits in playing Sudoku puzzles for the oldies too – as age catching up, the sort of exercise and mental workout which the brain gets from playing logic puzzles can help to stop memory decline, make them smarter and even halt the progress of Alzheimer’s disease .

1). You Are Empowered By God

Did you know God has provided ways in His word to empower His children? Did you know there are specific things you can do to contribute to answered prayer, good health, a peaceful life and more? It's true!
Once we are saved, we don't just float through our days hoping to catch God in a good mood when He is willing to answer prayer or provide for our needs.

In the first article I wrote dealing with empowerment ("You Are Empowered By God"), I outlined several principles that pertain to God's word with relation to answered prayers. We saw how God makes covenant promises (contract or agreement promises) and how we are empowered by God Himself to bring about many of the blessings that are mentioned in the Bible.
3). Having A Positive Attitude Brings Many Rewards
I am the type of person who used to have a very negative attitude to most aspects of life.

This article looks at the reasons and benefits of having a more positive outlook on life.
About ten years ago I decided that I needed to have a change of approach.
4). The Inspiration of Business
Kathy was sitting in her recliner at her home in California with 3-year-old daughter Lindsay cuddled at her side. Both were watching a show featuring an actress who had designed a line of Victorian jewelry. “I would love to design jewelry,” Kathy thought. But immediately, the all-too-familiar lack of self-esteem whispered, “You could never do that,” and she promptly shoved the desire aside.
5). How People Get Inspired
“Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?”
No matter how this topic is tackled, the question remains a mystery.
“Do you need to be inspired to aspire or do you need an aspiration to get inspired?”
The same holds true for the second question. Others may argue that in order to have a strong desire to achieve something, you must be inspired. On the other hand, some argue that for you to be inspired, you may need to aspire first.
6). Tips to Increase Your Self-Esteem and Confidence
Whenever one is beset by a situation that he or she is unsure of – facing someone admired, having to perform in front of an audience, or simply talking to others – he or she is facing a goodly amount of stress. Confident people are usually able to face these situations without blinking; but the rest of us will probably melt away and try to run away from the situation.
7). 5 Powerful Reasons Why INSPIRATION Should Be a Part of YOUR Success Strategy
Copyright 2006 Cari Vollmer
Let’s face it. Life can be difficult. It just can be. Work pressures mount, family demands become overwhelming, health suffers, stress builds.
I have to admit, it happens to me and when it does, when life gets to be too much or too hard, I put up a “CLOSED for business” sign and seek out a little inspiration.
Inspiration looks good (a beautiful photograph), smells good (a bed of roses), sounds good (Vivaldi’s Four Seasons) and feels good (family photographs, your favorite movie or book).

A Great Teacher by Paula Picard
A great teacher always leaves knowledge in his/her wake. They leave you with an understanding and knowingness you had not previously been aware of.
Great teachers do not always make their presence known. The teacher is sometimes disguised as an adversary such as the domineering parent, unfair employer, dishonest business partner, or unfaithful mate.

At some stage in your life, you've probably been told not to count your chickens before they have hatched. You were probably told to not get your hopes up and to not expect too much - just in case you might be disappointed. For most of us this, or some variation of it, was told to us over and over again by well meaning, but ill informed people.
