“Inner voice is embodiment of your intellectual acuity and experiences of life.There is no modus operandi to turn your inner voice to success or disaster.Keep igniting your cognitive ability, inner voice will translate into reality.”
RamkrishnaGuru

“The neurological/cognitive symptoms are more characteristically variable than constant and often have a distinct fatiguing component to them. Especially common are cognitive ‘fog’ or confusion, slowed information processing speed, trouble with word retrieval and speaking or intermittent dyslexia, trouble with writing, reading, and mathematics, and short-term memory consolidation.”
Bruce M. Carruthers
