Five english words that are utterly unique

1-Syzygy
Amazingly, the only English word with three Y's also happens to describe a rare astronomical event involving three heavenly bodies. A syzygy is the alignment of three celestial bodies in a straight line, commonly the earth,the sun and the moon
2-Dreamt
This past tense of dream possesses a very special quality.The only verb in regular english usage to end with -mt. we hear from people constantly who swear there must be another term ending in -mt. No one has ever actually offered a second example ,however.
3-Tmesis
The sole term in the english language to begin with tm- ,has an unusual meaning to match. Tmesis is the insertion of one or more words between the words that make up a compound phrase, as in "what-so-ever" inserted in the middle of "what-ever".
4-Hydroxyzine
Only one word in all of English has an X, Y, and Z in order. Hydroxyzine.This medication developed in the 1950s can help calm you down and prevent sneezing.
5-Queue
queue is the only word whose pronunciation remains the same when the last four letters are removed.Before it meant a line, a queue referred to the tail of a beast in medieval pictures and designs. The unusual spelling owes its origin to French, like many words that look a little odd in English. Prior to the Frenchification of queue, Latin spelled it simply as coda. The duplication of U and E often feels like waiting in line.

Your Value

I heard this story from a person who has influenced my life the most.
The Values Professor entered the classroom and held up a Rs.10 note in front of his class. He asked the class, "Who would like to have this Rs.10 note?"
All students raised their hands.
He said, "I am going to give this Rs.10 note to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
At last he said.."My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because, the note, in whatever condition it may be, did not decrease in value. It was still worth 10 rupees.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may feel as though we are worthless. We may forgot that the true worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, But by WHO WE ARE.
No matter what happens, you will never lose your value. You are special – Don’t ever forget it.
Value yourself. Don't demean and demoralize yourself at times of failures. Trust yourself and be Proud to be YOU!
Are you ready to value Yourself?
