 My blog

Idea to write my own blog had been brewing in my mind for quite a while. My passion for health care industry inspired me to write my own blog on health related topics.  Know About Health is as it sounds. 

As they say “Prevention is better than cure”.  Globally recognized studies inform that the awareness about basic health mitigate chances of contracting a disease.  This has motivated many organizations to, not only innovate solutions for health problems, but to create programs for health awareness.  Information technology has changed the dynamics of disseminating information on global level.  You are just one click away from the information you need and a click is what you need to get aware of health issues through Know About Health.

Know About Health was officially launched on 10^th May 2009.  Every life begins with a single unit called as “cell”.  This single cell multiplies into many more and in human beings, ultimately leads to a complex yet well coordinated multi-functional “structure”.  Well “cell” of the blog Know About Health has been formed and as you will see with time, it will branch out into an organized health information “source”.

Growth plan for Know About Health into a multifunctional structure is as follows: 

• Health News – You will find news about pharma, medical device or general health
• Health & Fitness – You will find information on fitness such as low carb diet or yoga
• Health-o-Meter – Health gadgets have made significant impact on individual life like glucose monitoring device
• Diseases – You will find information on diseases, their common cause and so on like Diabetes
• Drugs – You will find information about drugs in this section like how does Lipitor work?
• Do you know – You will find answer to health questions like what do I do if I have acidity?

You must have heard that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. I think in today’s health information technological age “The pen is mightier than the pill”.

My Philosophy – Aim High

Aim for the moon, that way, even if you miss it you will still be amongst the stars – W.C. Stone

A professor told her class of college seniors that she divided her final exam into three categories from which students were to choose only one. The first category of questions was the most difficult and worth 50 points.  The second was somewhat easier, worth 40 points.  The third group, the easiest, was worth 30 points.

When grading, she gave A’s to the students who chose the hardest category.  Students that chose category two were given B’s, and those settling for the easiest were given C’s. Naturally, some of the students were frustrated with the grading.  The professor said: “I wasn’t testing your knowledge; I was testing your aim”. 

The story is very simple, but the message it provides is indeed profound.  You should aim high and have dreams that inspire you to go beyond your limits.
