"[Self-Defense and Martial Arts: 'Live and let live!' - Freedom from interference by force, coercion or fraud so long as not hurting another's physical person or property:] The Gadsden flag:-
The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the snake are the words 'DONT TREAD ON ME'. The flag was designed by and is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden. It was also used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag. Along with the Moultrie Flag, it is iconic as a premier American flag; it was the first flag ever carried into battle by the United States Marine Corps, during the American Revolution.
The timber rattlesnake and eastern diamondback rattlesnake both populate the geographical areas of the original thirteen colonies. Their use as a symbol of the American colonies can be traced back to the publications of Benjamin Franklin. In 1751, he made the first reference to the rattlesnake in a satirical commentary published in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It had been the policy of Britain to send convicted criminals to America, so Franklin suggested that they thank the British by sending rattlesnakes to England.
Benjamin Franklin's 'Join, or Die' cartoon
In 1754, during the French and Indian War, Franklin published his famous woodcut of a snake cut into eight sections. It represented the colonies, with New England joined together as the head and South Carolina as the tail, following their order along the coast. Under the snake was the message 'Join, or Die'. This was the first political cartoon published in an American newspaper.
When American colonies came to identify more with their own community and liberty than as vassals of the British empire, icons that were unique to the Americas became increasingly popular. The rattlesnake, like the bald eagle and American Indian, came to symbolize American ideals and society.
As the American Revolution grew, the snake began to see more use as a symbol of the colonies. In 1774, Paul Revere added it to the title of his paper, the Massachusetts Spy, as a snake joined to fight a British dragon. In December 1775, Benjamin Franklin published an essay in the Pennsylvania Journal under the pseudonym American Guesser in which he suggested that the rattlesnake was a good symbol for the American spirit:
'I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids —She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. —She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. —As if anxious to prevent all pretensions of quarreling with her, the weapons with which nature has furnished her, she conceals in the roof of her mouth, so that, to those who are unacquainted with her, she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shewn and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal:—Conscious of this, she never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of stepping on her. —Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?'" - wikipedia.com

[Quote No.42668] Need Area: Body > General
"[Self-Defence and Martial Arts:] Resistance to sudden violence, for the preservation not only of my person, my limbs and life, but of my property, is an indisputable right of nature which I have never surrendered to the public by the compact of society, and which perhaps, I could not surrender if I would. Nor is there anything in the common law of England inconsistent with that right." - John Adams
(1735-1826), US Founding Father and 2nd US President.
Quote from the 'Boston Gazette', September 5, 1763, reprinted in 'The Works of John Adams' 438 (Charles F. Adams ed., 1851).

[Quote No.43797] Need Area: Body > General
"------ Famous Leaders with Disabilities:
Disabilities were traditionally thought of as disadvantages that hinder a person’s capacity to be a productive member of society and to live life to the fullest. Some people may even look at a disability as indicating a total dependence on others and an utter lack of self-sufficiency. Fortunately, most people nowadays are better educated and enlightened about the truths behind a disability.
There are various types of disabilities which may range from physical disabilities such as blindness, hearing impairment, or restrictions in bodily functions, to learning disorders such as dyslexia or difficulty in reading and writing. A lot of people also suffer from psychological difficulties such as mood disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders, to name a few.
Exploring the world of disabilities through prominent personalities, however, immediately reveals that a disability is not necessarily a hindrance nor a life sentence concerning what one can and cannot accomplish. Many world leaders who have made their indelible mark on history have proven that disabilities are mere challenges that can be overcome and surpassed.
--- 1) Alexander the Great (356 BC – 323 BC):
Alexander the Great was said to have epilepsy, then known as ‘the sacred disease’ due to the belief that those afflicted with these seizures were either touched by the gods or possessed by evil spirits. He was the King of Macedonia, expanded his territories and conquered the Persian Empire. To this day, he is considered one of the greatest military leaders ever.
--- 2) George Washington (1732 – 1799):
George Washington, in spite of his early education, was described as having dreadful grammar skills and poor performance in reading and language skills. Suspected to have suffered from dyslexia, a learning disorder, Washington also had difficulty in spelling and expressing himself in writing. Still, he was a gifted military leader and became the first President of the United States and the only President to have been unanimously elected for three terms, the last of which he already refused. He was also recognized as ‘The Father of His Country’.
--- 3)Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 – 1821):
Anecdotes and excerpts from several of Napoleon’s biographies described him as having suffered from epilepsy during his lifetime. As a young student in Paris, while being punished for insubordination and made to eat on his knees, he had a major seizure and was consequently let off his punishment. Even in his adult years, there have been records of Napoleon suffering from epileptic seizures with frothing at the mouth that lasted for about fifteen minutes. Napoleon was a general and war hero with numerous victories to his name and became no less than the Emperor of France.
--- 4)Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865):
From birth, Abraham Lincoln was already predisposed to suffering from mental illness. Both his mother and father suffered from bouts of depression and were both described as sad, somber, and gloomy. Lincoln had a host of paternal relations including a great uncle who was reportedly deranged, an alcoholic, and a depressive uncle; at least one manic-depressive cousin, several cousins who suffered from mood swings; a niece who was diagnosed and committed to an institution for the insane, and the list goes on and on. Lincoln himself had expressed suicidal ideations and had publicly suffered at least two breakdowns. In spite of his battle against this consuming adversary within himself, Lincoln acquired great stature and became the 16th President of the USA, and was best known for his victorious war effort and for changing the face of slavery in America.
--- 5)Woodrow Wilson (1856 – 1924):
Woodrow Wilson was suspected to have suffered from dyslexia, a type of reading disorder. He was a very poor student, was considered quite slow by his teachers, and did not learn to read till he was 12 years old. His father, determined to help his son, tutored him intensively. Woodrow taught himself shorthand and through sheer determination and self-discipline was able to get into college, obtained a degree in law, and became a lawyer, a revered college professor, a governor, and eventually, the 28th President of the United States.
--- 6) Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965):
Throughout his life, Winston Churchill suffered from a speech impediment, similar to what his father also had. He was prone to stuttering, speaking with a lisp, making occasional rattling noises in his throat, and described himself as tongue-tied. He consulted several specialists in the field and worked diligently on speech exercises for extensive periods. He aspired to become a great public speaker and did become one of the world’s greatest orators, known for his emphatic political speeches which he delivered effectively and compellingly. It was said that he chose his words carefully and avoided words that began and ended with an ‘s.’ He himself was quoted to have said that his ‘impediment is no hindrance.’ He spoke the truth as his lisp and stuttering did not hold him back from serving England twice as Prime Minister and for being instrumental in the victory in the war against Nazi Germany as well as for being awarded the Nobel Prize in 1953.
--- 7) Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 – 1945):
When he was 39 years old, Franklin D. Roosevelt was afflicted with polio and was paralyzed from the waist down, thus requiring the use of a cane, crutches, or a wheelchair. In public, however, he downplayed the extent of his physical disability and, as a result, very few people knew at that time that he was, in fact, unable to walk without assistance. In spite of these difficulties, Franklin Roosevelt attained the honor of being the only American President to have been elected four consecutive terms due to his success in aiding the recovery of the U.S. economy and restoration of order after the World War.
--- 8) Ronald Reagan (1911 – 2004):
In his 70s, Ronal Reagan was thrown off a horse and suffered a concussion as well as a subdural hematoma which required surgery. Doctors were convinced that these events hastened the development of Alzheimer’s disease which is a progressive and degenerative disorder that weakens brain cells and causes deterioration of memory, language skills, thinking skills, and behavior. Reagan was a popular actor who enjoyed a long and fruitful political career as governor of California and was the 40th President of the United States.
--- 9) Boris Yeltsin (1931 – 2007):
Boris Yeltsin suffered quite a lot from depression and alcohol abuse. In his memoirs, he often recounted his bouts of severe depression and agonizing self-appraisals. His problem with alcohol caused him to be involved in periodic disappearances and not showing up for appointments with heads of state. In spite of these challenges, Yeltsin accomplished much as the first, freely elected President of Independent Russia.
--- 10)David Blunkett ( 1947 – ):
David Blunkett was born into a poor family in one of England’s most disadvantaged districts. He was blind since the day he was born due to a rare genetic disorder. He studied at schools for the blind where he applied himself and garnered honors. He went into local politics and eventually became a Member of Parliament, Secretary of Education and Employment, and Home Secretary in the United Kingdom.
------ Conclusion:
These outstanding personalities have proven that an impairment need not be a disability. These people have not only taken their lives into their own hands but turned them around for the better. Not only have they conquered the challenges within their own minds and bodies that nature has bestowed upon them, but they have touched numerous lives and made a positive difference in the lives of many people through their displays of courage, persistence, hard work, and the will to succeed." - famous101.com

[Quote No.44031] Need Area: Body > General
"[Beware... Human Nature abhors a vacuum, that is any explanation for a 'mystery' is better than none, even if it is unjustified by the facts, so always approach all explanations, facts and predictions with skepticism until confirmed by your own research:] To trace something unknown back to something known is alleviating, soothing, gratifying and gives moreover a feeling of power. Danger, disquiet, anxiety attend the unknown – the first instinct is to eliminate these distressing states. First principle: any explanation is better than none... The cause-creating drive is thus conditioned and excited by the feeling of fear... [One of the greatest fears humans have is about what happens after death. Each person comes to terms with this fear in their own way, whether it is to avoid the question, accept on faith one of the many religions' explanations, or to simply accept that, at present, we don't know for certain until we die individually.]" - Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844–1900), German philosopher, classical scholar, critic of culture and author of, among other things, the book, 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'.

"Sometimes in life when things become difficult it would be useful to have a method to relax, distract and disengage from those difficulties. Luckily there is a simple method of physical [as opposed to mental idea or sound-mantra] meditation to accomplish this which is taugh in many spiritual traditions, namely breath meditation. Just focus on noticing the breath going in and out of your nostrils. Don't try to control it - just feel it. If you lose focus don't become angry just refocus back on the feeling. Keep this up until you feel relaxed and centred and-or the challenging circumstances dissipate." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com
