Why do people make excuses ?
(Copyright
Susan Krauss Whitbourn)
People are quick to give excuses
You could have noticed that unsuccessful
people are afflicted with a mind-freezing ailment. Let us call this illness –
excusisties that is a love towards giving excuses. Virtually every person has
had it at moderate doses. As with any illness if not dealt with at its early
stage, gets a whole lot worse.
The person who has been repeating his grade
the last five years carries a bucketful of reasons to reveal why he has to be
in that situation. The excuse goes something like this. “What can I do?
Lecturers are not much of a help when it comes to assignments?”
The moment the individual turns into a
sorry victim of this specific excuse he sticks with it in order to convince
others that his lack of good results, isn't really his own fault. With constant
repetition even he actually starts believing that it is real and not an excuse.
It has now turned into a chronic disease.
Knowing that excuses from a person can
backfire and the people they have to deal with loosing respect in them, why do
people still insist in giving those excuses?
A simple logical reason is they do not want
to be seen as incapable, without integrity or incapable of keeping a promise.
They twist a bit of the authentic reason, somewhat camouflaging the authentic
reason with a one that sounds better. This way the people offered the excuse
would still look up to him.
To put it in another word it is a lie. Not
a blatant lie but as they put ‘a white lie’, which to them would not hurt
anybody. They hold on to the principle of: What you do not know (the truth)
won’t hurt you.
According to some researches done on this
subject, it was found this ‘habit’ of giving excuses can be traced back to the
early childhood. Every time a child wants something it will begin by asking it
normally. However if it doesn’t get what it wants the normal way it will
indulge in diabolical techniques ,”Like…….my teacher always scolds me for
wearing this old shoes!”
Parents in wanting their child to have the
best and not being scolded by the teacher would invariably succumb to the child’s
demand. When the child gets his way, a habit is formed….the habit of giving
excuses (in this case a white lie).

What
is palmistry?
Palmistry is a method of counselling that
originated in India over 3,000 years ago. It is a part of a vast field of
study, referred to as Samudrik Shastra, which literally means the ocean of
knowledge. Palmistry is a sub-section of Samudrik Shastra and deals
specifically with the study of the hand.
Your
Future Is in the Palm of Your (Surgeon’s) Hand
Want to be richer? To live longer? Easy. In
Japan, the latest craze is to change your fortune with palm surgery that
extends your lines. Jake Adelstein and Nathalie-Kyoko Stucky report from the
fortune-telling frontier.
In Japan, where palm reading remains one of
the most popular means of fortune-telling, some people have figured out a way
to change their fate. It’s a simple idea: change your palm, change the reading,
and change your future. All you need is a competent plastic surgeon with an
electric scalpel who has a basic knowledge of palmistry. Or you can draw the
lines on your hand with a marker and let him work the magic you want.
Missing a marriage line? That can be fixed.
Wedding bells may ring.
Need some good fortune? Add a money-luck
line and you might win the lottery or be promoted to vice president in your
firm. For the smart shopper—one willing to undergo palm plastic surgery—the
future isn’t what it used to be.“Doctor, I want you to change my fate.
Please change my palm.”(thedailybeast.com)

改運新趨勢 日韓瘋「手掌整型」
整形風潮從韓國吹往台灣已多時，現今國人整型的目的已不只是讓自己變美變帥，更希望透過整容來改變運勢，也就是所謂的改運整型。額頭、鼻子、下巴、桃花眼、夫妻宮都是熱門的開運整型。但這些可能已經落伍了，目前日本和韓國已經開始流行「手掌整型」，這種新的開運整型已成為趨勢。
據金羊網報導，古時文化認為，從手相就能看出一個人一生的命運。手相藝術在日本非常流行，看手相占卜的人只透過觀察手掌的掌紋走向，就能預知未來。但是，所謂「手相不佳」的人該怎麼辦呢？首先想到的必然是改變命運。有需求就會有市場，「手掌整形」這種過度激進的方式就是這樣產生的。
在韓國，「手掌整型」也是日益風靡，用電動手術刀灼燒的方式，在手掌心留下半永久性的疤痕，也可以用雷射做掌紋，但留下的印記不夠清晰。在日本的價格大概是662英鎊，手術大約15分鐘即可完成。
那麼，做了「手掌整型」，命運真的會改變嗎？據報導，日本一位整型醫生幫一名女性做了「婚姻線」，不久之後，她來信說自己結婚了；另有兩個做了「財富線」，也意外中了彩票。
據悉，這位醫生還是認為，他不確定手術是如何起作用的，可能只是一種安慰效應。印度藝術家Subodh
Gupta表示非常驚訝，他表示，即使通過手術改變掌紋，命運也是無法改變的。想發財，就要多努力！想健康，就應多運動！
