Old sins cast long shadows

 

"What your grandfather would feel if he knew we had the police in the house - it's enough to make him turn in his grave. A strict Plymouth Brother he was all his life. The fuss there was when he found out I'd been attending Church of England services in the evening! And I'm sure that was harmless enough compared to murder."

And what's more shocking, Rex Fortescue who died during his morning tea in his office wasn't the only victim in this house. As time went by it became obvious that triple tragedy occurred. Miss Marple is the one who will manage to unravel the mystery.

 "A Pocket Full of Rye" is a work of detective fiction written by Agatha Christie. A nursery rhyme titled Sing a Song of Sixpence is the leitmotif of the book and the key to finding out who the murderer was.

The novel kept me in suspense to the last chapter. Well written and full of different plots. So many that it may seem that such a story is impossible. Discover yourself!

The power of written goals

Image above from here.

Have you ever heard of Yale study on the effects of written goals? It is said that in 1953 scientists had surveyed the Yale class and found that 3 percent had written down goals for their futures at their college graduation. When the group met again in 1973, this 3 percent of the class were earning on average 10 times as much as the other 97% of graduates all together.

What a simple solution! Scribbling down your goals is the key to success.

Amazing? Isn't it?

There's only one problem! There was no such study at all! It's just a legend!

Yale University has announced that "no "goals study" of the Class of 1953 actually occurred". Don't believe everything you read or hear about. Even when it seems credible. Probably there is no scientific evidence that writing down your goals will help you to achieve success. But no one has proved that it will stop you from accomplishing your written objective.

Do you have your goals written down?
