We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Law is a system of rules and guidelines, usually
enforced through a set of institutions. Contract
law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket
to trading on derivatives markets.
Property law defines rights and obligations
related to the transfer and title of personal and
real property. If the harm is criminalised in
legislation or case law, criminal law offers means
by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator.
What is a Law ?
3. Introduction
The English Connection:
Common law: precedents & customs.
Equity: natural justice.
Pacta sunt servanda: agreements
must be honored.
Stare decisis: settled law should not
be disturbed.
4. Definitions.
• Proposal - When one person signifies to another
his willingness to do or to abstain from doing
anything, with a view to obtaining the assent of
that other to such act or abstinence, he is said to
make a proposal.
• Promise - When the person to whom the
proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the
proposal is said to be accepted. A proposal, when
accepted, becomes a promise.
5. Continued…
• The person making the proposal is called the
"promiser and the person accepting the
proposal is called the It promise":
• Consideration - When, at the desire of the
promiser, the promisee or any other person
has clone or abstained from doing, or does or
abstains from doing, or promises to do or to
abstain from doing, something, such Act or
abstinence or promise is called a consideration
for the promise.
6. Continued…
• Agreement - Every promise and every set of
promises, forming the consideration for each
other, is an agreement.
• Contract - An agreement enforceable by law is
a contract.
• An agreement not enforceable by law is said to
be void.
7. Contracts
Contracts –
• Contract - An agreement enforceable by law
is a contract.
• All agreements are contracts if they are made
by the free consent of parties competent to
contract, for a lawful consideration and with a
lawful object, and are not hereby expressly
declared to be void.
8. What is a contract?
Examples
• I promise to bring chocolates to the whole
class. Is there a contract?
• I promise to give you 100 Rs. if ride your bike
to Tiananmen Square and back to ICB in less
than 2 hours. Is there a contract?
• I give you 2 Rs. for your Coca-Cola. Is there a
contract?
• I promise to give you a new bicycle if you
agree not to eat Chinese food for one year. Is
there a contract?
9. Definition of a contract
• A legally binding agreement
• that means there must be some kind of
agreement between two parties
• However, not all agreements are contracts
because not all agreements are legally
enforceable
• legally enforceable means that a court will say
that an agreement is a contract
10. Definition of a contract (cont.)
• To decide if an agreement is legally enforceable as
a contract, a court will apply the rules and
principles of the law of contract
• Therefore, knowing a little about these rules can
help businesspeople to create valid contracts
11. Essential elements of a valid
contract: (Sec. 10)
Agreement - Offer & acceptance
Legal consequences - rights & obligations
Capacity of the contracting parties
Consideration
Legal object
Free consent
Certainty
Possibility of performance
Writing & registration
Not expressly declared to be void.
12. Offer: Sec.2(a)
An Offer Can be Defined as follows:
An expression of willingness to contract on
certain terms, made with the intention that it
shall become binding as soon as it is accepted
by the person to whom it is addressed.
13. Essentials of offer
It must be an expression of the willingness to
do or abstain from doing something.
Such expression must be to another person.
Such expression must be made with the
intention to obtain the assent of the other
person to such an act or abstinence.
14. Communication of Offer.
• The communication of a proposal is complete
when it comes to the knowledge of the person
to whom it is made.
• E.g. - A proposes, by letter, to sell a house to B
at a certain price. The communication of the
proposal is complete when B receives the
letter.
15. Acceptance: Sec 2(b)
Acceptance is the second ‘half’ of a contract. If
Bill offers Ben a bag of sweets for 20p, and Ben
says ‘I accept’, clearly a contract has been made.
The law explains that there must be evidence
from both sides of genuine agreement between
parties – the old idea of consensus ad idem, or
meeting of minds.
Acceptance can be defined as:
Agreement to all terms of an offer by words or
conduct.
16. Essentials of Acceptance
Acceptance must be given only by the person
to whom the offer is made.
Must be absolute & unqualified.
Must be in prescribed mode or reasonable
manner.
Must be communicated.
Within reasonable time.
Acceptance must succeed an offer.
Rejected offers can be accepted only if
renewed.
17. Communication of an
acceptance
The communication of an acceptance is complete,
-
as against the proposer, when it is put in a course
of transmission to him, so as to be out of the
power of the acceptor; as against the acceptor,
when it comes to the, knowledge, of the
proposer.
E.g. : B accepts A's proposal by a letter sent by
post. The communication of the acceptance is
complete, as against A when the letter is posted
as against B, when the letter is received by A.
18. Void Contracts
• In fact, these are not contracts at all
• They have no legal effect
• As we will see in later classes, there are a
number of things which can make a contract
void
– e.g. mistake, illegality
• The important thing to remember is that you
cannot enforce a void contract
19. Void Agreements:
• Agreements in restraint of marriage [Sec. 26]
• Agreements in restraint of trade [Sec. 27]
• Agreements in restraint of legal proceedings
[Sec. 28]
• Agreements the meaning of which is uncertain
[Sec. 29]
• Agreements by way of wager [Sec. 30]
• Agreements contingent on impossible events
[Sec. 36]
• Agreements to do impossible acts [Sec. 56]
20. Void Contracts - Example
• Daniel gives his students so much homework
that they decide to kill him
•
• They pay a Russian hit man 5000 RMB to kill
Daniel
21. Void Contracts – Example
(cont.)
• However, the Russian simply spends all the
money in bars in Sanlitun and then goes home
• He does not kill Daniel
•
• The students cannot claim their money back
because it is illegal to hire a hit man to kill
someone
