Why do we nod yes and do we shake our heads to say no?

We express ourselves not only verbally with words but use our whole body to make something clear, this happens non-verbally with body language. This is the same as we want to say 'yes' or 'no' without words.

In almost every country we shake our heads from left to right or right to left if we are talking about something that we are not agree with.

In a non-verbal 'yes' we nod our heads from top to bottom.

We do this almost unconsciously. But why do we do this, even with our advanced science we don't know.

Why we shake 'yes' and 'no' according to Darwin
Charles Darwin saw the no-shaking as a relic of the movements of a baby when it want to refuse food. The head then turns away from the breast or bottle.

The modern science about the 'yes' and 'no' shake
Modern scientists see the no shake a relic of a defensive reflex: averting the face from a threat. The nod is innate, and in this case you can compare it with a babay that latch to the good food.

Exceptions
Nodding and shaking are quite universal, but like every rule there are exceptions. In some parts of Greece and Italy people rattle with their tongue and throw the head in the neck to say 'no'. Eskimos do nod when they mean 'yes', but they wink when they mean 'no'.

The thought alone is not enough (The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D.)

You may have a thought of what you want in life and what you want to be. You should also take action to get there. Many people want to get rich but they can't because they do not know how. The book "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles can help in forming what you really want in your life and how you want to achieve it.

But it will not happen as long as you do not act. You need more than just a thought.

You need determination.
You have to believe in it.
You should never give up unless you see that you must strike a different path.
You must be positive and stay positive.
You need to displace and go out of the way of negative things or try to forget them.
There is only one way and that's in the right direction: forward.
You must come out of your sofa if you know what you want. Go for it.

So with these tips we now can help you on the way to wealth or whatever you want.

The vision and the successes of Steve Jobs
A great example of how to achieve what you want, only from the thought, is Steve Jobs, the chief of Apple. You definitely should see the movie 'Jobs'. In this movie you see the evolution of how Steve Jobs saw his vision and what he wanted to make to how he made it. His vision was to make a computer that needs to feel like a normal human don't need any knowledge of how a computer was made. He wanted that every man could have a computer that was as user friendly as it could be and it most have natural beautiful design. He wanted to make computers with the maximum of capacity fitted into a beautiful design. That wasn't easy to achieve but he did it because he never give up. He always stuck to his plan, even if the company was loss making. He held his dream and he got it.

Total Lunar Eclipse tonight, in the night of Monday, December 20th, 2010, the day before winter solstice

Click to see how a Lunar Eclipse arises

Tonight is the night that our moon (our natural satellite), will be vanished. The eclipse will be visible across North America. The eclipse begins at 1:33 am. It will be best viewed on 3:17 am according to the people of NASA. Today is also the shortest day of the year, known as the winter solstice. The winter officially begins on December 21.

A Lunar Eclipse (Moon Eclipse) is not the same as a Solar Eclipse. By a Lunar Eclipse the moon will take a variety of red colors when the Earth stands between the exactly aligned path of the Sun and the Moon. So the Earth will block the Sun's Rays from striking when the Moon passes behind the Earth.

The last total Lunar Eclipse was in August 16 2008. Partial Lunar Eclipses come more frequently. The last one was in June the 26th, 2010.
