Become KNOWLEDGABLE. It's easier to be ignorant and say that I don't know about the problem. But once you know, once you've seen it with your eyes, then you have a responsibility to do something. There is strength in numbers, and if we all work together as a team, we can be unstoppable.

Together, we can make a substantial difference.

Physical health, and to some extent mental health too, can be improved by active participation in sports. Character, values, physical and mental strength are all challenged and improved in a short span of time. Sports can tell us a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a society. October 1, 2009

15

Mental health, relatively speaking, is more important. It can be improved by developing positive attitude, engaging in healthy thinking, cultivating good habits, reading inspiring books, choosing good friends, and participating in good activities. Character, values, personality, attitudes, behaviour, etc. will all be improved.

October 1, 2009

16

Spiritual health, can be improved by practicing Human Values, such as, Love, Truth, Peace, Righteousness, Non-violence, etc. October 1, 2009

17

Spiritual health, plays a significant role, in improving all-round health. It can be improved by traditional methods, such as participating in religious activities.

Spirituality, is more abstract and to my mind, more important, in developing your spiritual health. October 1, 2009

Improving simultaneously all aspects of health ~

Physical, Mental and Spiritual ~ will help an individual to become a constructive, contributing citizen.

With such citizens, the whole country will become more vibrant, productive, developing and progressing in all respects. October 1, 2009
