*Nice collection!! Please read -* *Twelve golden sentences :* *1 Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray for a better umbrella. That is Attitude.* *2 When flood comes, fish eats ants and when flood recedes, ants eat fish. Only time matters. Just hold on. God gives opportunity to every one.* *3 In a theatre when drama plays, you opt for front seats. When film is screened, you opt for rear seats. Your position in life is only relative. Not absolute.* *4 For making soap, oil is required. But to clean oil, soap is required. This is the irony of life.* *5 Life is not about finding the right person.

During World War II, lots of fighter planes were getting hit by anti-aircraft guns. Air Force officers wanted to add some protective armor/shield to the planes. The question was where? The planes could only support few more kilos of weight. A group of mathematicians & engineers were called for a short consulting project. Fighter planes returning from missions were analyzed for bullet holes per square foot. They found 1.93 bullet holes/sq. foot near the tail of the planes whereas only 1.11 bullet holes/sq. foot close to the engine.   The Army officers thought that since the tail portion had the greatest density of bullets, that would be the logical location for putting an anti-bullet shield. A mathematician named Abraham Wald said exactly the opposite; more protection is needed where the bullet holes aren't - around the engines.   His judgment surprised everyone. He said "We are counting the planes that returned from a mission. Planes with lots of bullet holes in ...

_*Drinking From The Saucer*_ - John Paul Moore_ I've never made a fortune, And I'll never make one now But it really doesn't matter 'Cause I'm happy anyhow.  As I go along my journey I'm reaping better than I've sowed I'm drinking from the saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed.  I don't have a lot of riches, And the going's sometimes tough But with kin and friends to love me I think I'm rich enough.  I thank God for the blessings That His mercy has bestowed I'm drinking from the saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed.  He gives me strength and courage When the way grows steep and rough I'll not ask for other blessings For I'm already blessed enough.  May we never be too busy To help bear another's load Then we'll all be drinking from the saucer When our cups have overflowed. _*May your cup always overflow.*_ 

“People work for people – they do not work for businesses”            – Donn Carr T his has been my mantra for as along as I can remember. The message is so simple, full of truth and direction, yet it is consistently ignored by human resource departments, managers and owners alike and they wonder why their turnover is so high or they are always having to look for new people. The problem is with the managers – and seldom the employee or the quality of the workforce. This has been proven and well documented by study after study. I don’t think this happens on purpose, most managers I meet have never been taught the art of developing people. Many rose to the rank of managers simply because they outlasted the last one and this lack of people training leaves the new manager with the only experience they know – to mimic the old boss. This does make perfect sense when you think about it. All I should have to do is mimic the actions of the outgoing boss or t...

A Man who has gone out of his town comes back and finds that his house is on fire.. It was one of the most beautiful houses in the town, and the man loved the house the most! Many were ready to give double price for the house, but he had never agreed for any price and now it is just burning before his eyes. And thousands of people have gathered but nothing can be done, the fire was spread so far that even if you try to put it out, nothing will be saved. So he becomes very sad. His son comes running and whispers something in his ear. “Don’t be worried. I sold it yesterday and at a very good price – three times” The offer was so good I could not wait for you. Forgive me. Father said, “Thank God, it’s not ours now!”. Then the father is relaxed and became a silent watcher just like 1000s of other watchers. Please think about it! Just a moment before he was a not a watcher, he was attached. It is the same house … the same fire.. everything is the same.. but now he is not...

Keep your head down and your nose to the grindstone. That’s what a lot of us were taught to believe about work. But is it really the best strategy? I find that people often take this sort of advice to heart — and then learn too late in their careers that there’s more to life (and success) than just keeping busy. I’ve gathered up my top 10 lessons you should take to heart  now , before it’s too late! 1.     Life is short.  Here’s the thing: Life is too short to put up with a job you hate, a boss who demeans you, or a company with no soul.  Many people convince themselves that they can put up with a job or career situation that makes them unhappy because they need the income, because they don’t know if they can find another job, or for some other reason. But the truth is none of us knows how long we have on this earth, and spending too much of it in a bad situation will only make you miserable and regretful. If you’re in this situation, take a step ...

The End of Absence Technology has a lot to answer for:  killing old businesses ,  destroying the middle class , Buzzfeed. Technology in the form of the internet is especially villainous, having been accused of everything from  making us dumber  (paywall) to  aiding dictatorships . But Michael Harris, riffing on the observations of  Melvin Kranzberg , argues that “technology is neither good nor evil. The most we can say about it is this: It has come.” Harris is the author of “ The End of Absence : Reclaiming What We’ve Lost in a World of Constant Connection,” a new book about how technology affects society. It follows in the footsteps of Nicholas Carr, whose “ The Shallows ” is a modern classic of internet criticism. But Harris takes a different path from those that have come before. Instead of a broad investigation into the effects of constant connectivity on human behaviour, Harris looks at a very specific demographic: people born before 198...
