A Successful Relationship


A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a
loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for work so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in
the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the
matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and
fascinated by its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous
medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the
mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned.
She was terrified how to face her
husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead
child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.


QUESTIONS:

1. What were the four words?

2. What is the implication of this story?

Scroll down to read....

ANSWER:

The husband just said "I Love You Darling" The husband's totally unexpected
reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought
back to life. There is no point in finding
fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the
bottle away, this would not happen.

No one to be blamed. She had lost her only child. What she needed at that
moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave
her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there
would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies,
jealousies, unforgiving attitude, selfishness, and fears. And you will find
things are actually not as difficult as you think.

"A successful relationship requires falling in love many times -----with the
same person."

Vision India from Freedom is not Free
by Shiv Khera


Close your eyes. Keep them closed for a minute. Dare to dream. Think of a
wonderful future in which India is a beautiful place. We are a compassionate
and caring society. We are the beacon of courage and integrity. We have
eradicated the scourge of poverty. Power cuts and poor governmental services
are unheard of. We lead the world in many areas of business and technology.
The air is unpolluted and our sleep, undisturbed. We command respect across
the world. We are a society, free from crime. People from all nations adhere
to the example set by our Nation and want to live in India.

We can achieve all of this and more, as other countries have done before us!
And why not? We have all the ingredients to create a recipe for success ?
talented people, natural resources, a functioning democracy and an appetite
for growth and development. However, have we arrived ? Not yet!

Have you ever wondered, why some societies are more conducive to honest and
progressive living than others? It is not a secret. They simply think and
act more effectively. They create a climate that rewards honesty and hard
work.

A road map?s purpose is to help people travel with confidence. The pages of
history are full of information on civilizations that were once technically
strong, but gradually vanished.

The ones that survived were those that refused to go with the flow and stood
firm, supported by the pillars of values and institutions.

A great management consultant once said, ?Any behaviour that gets rewarded,
gets repeated.? This is an universal principle. It cuts across countries,
religions and cultures. It is demonstrated in our homes, offices and
societies. When you reward positive behaviour, then that gets repeated too.

Values are principles that guide our actions. Positive values, such as
integrity, fairness and empathy, result in positive behaviour and build a
positive society. This in turn, is conducive to honest living, growth and
development. Negative values such as cheating, dishonesty, greed and
inferiority complex result in negative behaviour, generating a negative
society, which becomes conducive to dishonest living.

Commonly-practiced individual behaviours collectively form a social culture,
get labelled as either positive or negative and in turn, are reflected in
the quality of life that people lead. Positive culture is reflected as an
asset on the balance sheet of society.

God


One day when I was listening to my grandmother
She was telling me about the God’s power
When I asked what, who is God
If he is a flower, insect or a sword

She replied he is almighty and can do anything
He is the driver of this universe’s ring
Without his command even a leaf cannot move
And he decides whom to stay and whom to remove
Everywhere you can see his beauty
This whole universe is his creativity
The planes or mountains, morning or noon
The planets or stars, sun or moon
All these beautiful vast and green land
Or those deserts full of sand
Those mighty oceans or the smallest of river
The big elephants or the intelligent weaver
As vast as sky and as tiny as a drop he can be
It depends on you with which angel him you see
He is as beautiful as a flower and as ugly as an insect
He is how you think and how much you respect.

Be Observant


Chuan and Jing joined a wholesale company together just after graduation.

Both worked very hard.

After several years, the boss promoted Jing to sales executive but Chuan
remained a sales rep. One day Chuan could not take it anymore, tender
resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not value hard working
staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.

The boss knew that Chuan worked very hard for the years, but in order to
help Chuan realise the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan
to do the following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the
market? Chuan returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Chuan
went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.

Boss told Chuan, I will ask Jing the same question? Jing went, returned and
said, boss, only one person selling water melon. $12 per kg, $100 for 10 kg,
he has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weighs
about 15 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red,
good quality.

Chuan was very impressed and realised the difference between himself and
Jing. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing.

My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and
understands in depth. For the same matter, a more successful person sees
several years ahead, while we see only tomorrow. The difference between a
year and a day is 365 times.

Think! how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful in depth are
you?

Listening For Love


There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we
feel. For fear of embarrassing the other person, or ourselves, we hesitate
to say the actual words ?I love you.? So we try to communicate the idea in
other words. We say take care or don?t drive too fast or be good.

But really, these are just other ways of saying I love you. You are
important to me. We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we
want to say, and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don?t
say. And yet because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so
strong, we are driven to use other words and the meaning never gets
communicated at all so the other person is left feeling unloved and
unwanted.

Therefore, we have to listen for love in the words that people are
saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often,
the manner of saying things is even more important. A joyous insult carries
more affection and love within the sentiments which are expressed
insincerely. An impulsive hug says ?I love you? even though the words might
be saying very different.

The problem is listening for love is that we don?t always understand the
language of love which the other person is using. A girl may use tears or
emotions to say what she wants to say, and her boyfriend may not understand
her because he expects her to be talking his language.

We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we
will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realise.


Listen for love and you will find that the world is a very loving place

The Beauty Within.


Gentle child don’t weep any more
I’m here to heal your soul
People may say, as they may please
I’ll tell the truth for sure
No one can make you feel any less
You are worth more than all.

The purest of soul does rest in you
You have more beauty and no one knows
They may have eyes but they walk as blinded thieves
Hidden in them is the sin of deceit
With heavy hearts and bitter souls they carry on
You need not listen, do as you know better.

Never let their coldness harm your mind
They always feast on those precious tears
Give me these precious pearls to keep
Forever to be safe from the harm of their sneers
Now you soar over grounds that you have gained
Don’t look back when you have come so far.

What was then will never catch up
So now they are left to dwell in the pain they caused
You will live on wise and well
Have by your side the true of heart that saw you even then
With no more rain to wet your day or bad winds coming your way
Only the sun’s endless rays showering, as you go on.

The Soup Story


An old friend of Nasruddin once came visiting and brought along a big
chicken. Mullah?s wife cooked the chicken and they enjoyed the feast for
dinner. The next morning, they had delicious chicken soup that Mullah?s wife
prepared. The friend enjoyed his short stay with Mullah.

The next day when he was leaving, Mullah returned his friend?s profuse
thanks by thanking the latter for bringing the big chicken along.

An hour after his friend had left Mullah heard a knock on the door. When
he opened the door, a man introduced himself and quickly entered: ? I am a
friend of your friend who brought you that big chicken!?

Reluctant to insult the friend of a friend, Mullah invited the man inside
and asked him to stay back for lunch. They had some lovely chicken stew for
lunch, which the man also enjoyed. Having eaten like a glutton, the man left
thanking Mullah profusely for the tasty chicken.

A couple of hours later, there was a knock on the door and Mullah beheld
another stranger before him. ?I am the friend of your friend?s friend,? the
man smiled.

Again, not wanting to turn away the friend of a friend?s friend, Mullah
invited him inside and asked him to stay back for dinner. The man accepted
hurriedly. He too feasted on some delicious chicken stew and left smacking
his lips some time later.

Barely had the man left, there was another knock and another stranger at
the door! The friend-of-a-friend story all because of a chicken was now
getting Mullah?s goat! ?My house has been turned into an eating house!?
Mullah muttered to himself as he permitted the man to enter.

The next day too there was no respite as another man entered with the same
tale: ?I am a friend of the friend of the friend of the friend of the friend
who had come here with a huge chicken!?

Mullah smiled weakly and asked the man to come right in and have a meal.
The man entered hurriedly, smacking his lips in anticipation of a tasty
chicken meal. A few minutes later, a bowl of soup was placed before him.
Just one sip told the man that this ?soup? was nothing but boiled water.

? This is nothing but boiled water!? the man protested angrily.

? Not at all!? Mullah smiled wickedly. ? This is the soup of the soup of the
soup of the soup of the soup of the soup of the chicken!?

Moral of the story:

When people take advantage of your generosity and hospitality, do not turn
them away rudely. Instead, invite them in and serve them a lesson they will
never forget for a long time to come ? just as Mullah did by serving the
soup of the soup of the soup.............

The Albatross (...the poet)


Often, for pastime, mariners will ensnare
The albatross, that vast sea-bird who sweeps
On high companionable pinion where
Their vessel glides upon the bitter deeps.

Torn from his native space, this captive king
Flounders upon the deck in stricken pride,
And pitiably lets his great white wing
Drag like a heavy paddle at his side.

This rider of winds, how awkward he is, and weak !
How droll he seems, who lately was all grace !
A sailor pokes a pipestem into his beak;
Another, hobbling, mocks his trammeled pace

The Poet is like this monarch of the clouds,
Familiar of storms, of stars, and of all high things;
Exiled on earth amidst its hooting crowds,
He cannot walk, borne down by his giant wings.



-- Charles Baudelaire

After a While
~ By Veronica A. Shoffstall


After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and
company doesn't mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head
up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure . . .
that you really are strong,
and you really do have worth.
And you learn and you learn . . .
with every good-bye you learn. . . .

Ten Stages of The Mind


That is, the mind is the extended and perceptional activity of the
Consciousness. When any kind of aggravation or short circuit occurs in its
activity, the Consciousness, in its psychic extension as mind, feels it as
discomfort or pain.

After Feeling it as pain, the psychic extension takes the next step as
Need.

From the force of need, Zeal develops.

Zeal brings about Action to fulfill or balance the requirement.

The action produces a Result.

The result gives an Enjoyment (or sufferance).

And accordingly the enjoyment brings about Experience.

The experience induces one to Research.

The research results in Realization.

The realization brings about Conclusion.


In this way, the psychic extension of the Consciousness takes ten stages in
human life. These ten stages of the psychic extension of the Consciousness
are comprehensively called as Mind.

Mind is a very important phenomenon working in man. All
manifestations in the Universe and their functions and results are valued
only by the mind. Every action of man starts from the mind and every
experience of man ends in the mind only. The nature of the mind is that it
can become bigger than the biggest, as well as it become subtler than the
subtlest.

only by the mind. Every action of man starts from the mind and every
experience of man ends in the mind only. The nature of the mind is that it
can become bigger than the biggest, as well as it become subtler than the
subtlest.

WORTH READING 13 Oct 2004

Stay Close...


Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is
the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most
importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped make you the person that you are today.

Why you are my Friend?


When i heard you speak,
Emotions in hand, tongue in cheek
Couldn't help but see,
A reflection in you of me.

speaking thoughts i always knew,
never did say before, but its true
think the same way as you do,
i know everything you say is true

But think as you speak, for
You speak on many more
Thoughts we may not agree on,
Things we could only fight on

but remembering things we share,
knowing that we both will always care
for a smile, a laugh, a glance this way,
knowingly, i look away

A tear to hide, a smile to share
Things we do, with friends so rare
To know each other better,
With every year together

WORTH READING 8 Oct 2004

'Some time ago, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a
student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student
claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an
impartial arbiter, and I was selected.


The physics examination question read, "SHOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO
DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF A TALL BUILDING WITH THE AID OF A BAROMETER."


The student had answered, "Take the barometer to the top of the building,
attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up and
measure the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the
building."


The student really had a strong case for full credit because he had
answered the question completely and correctly. On the other hand, if full
credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in his physics
course and to certify competence in physics; but the answer did not confirm
this.


As an arbiter, I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the
student six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer
must demonstrate some knowledge of physics. Five minutes past, but he had
not written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said he had
many answers to this problem and was just thinking of the best one. I
excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go on. In the
next minute, he dashed off his answer, which read, "Take the barometer to
the top of the building, lean over the edge of the roof, and then drop the
barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula
x=0.5*a*t^^2, calculate the height of the building."


At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded, and
gave the student almost full credit. While leaving my colleague's office, I
recalled that the student had said that he had other answers to the
problem, so I asked him what they were. "Well," said the student, "there
are many ways of determining the height of a tall building with the aid of
a barometer. For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day
and measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the
length of the shadow of the building, and by using simple proportion,
determine the height of the building."


"Fine," I said, "and other answers?" "Yes," said the student, "there is a
very basic measurement method you will like. In this method, you take the
barometer and begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, mark
off the length of the barometer along the wall. Then count the number of
marks, which equals the height of the building in barometer units."


"That's a very direct method." "Of course, if you want a more sophisticated
method, you can tie the barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a
pendulum, and determine the value of 'g' at the street level and at the top
of the building. From the difference between the two values of g, the
height of the building, in principle, can be calculated. On this same tact,
you could take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope
to it, lower it to just above the street, and then swing it as a pendulum.
You could then calculate the height of the building by the period of the
precession."


"Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways of solving the problem.
Probably the best method is to take the barometer to the basement and knock
on the superintendent's door. When the superintendent answers, you speak to
him as follows: 'Mr. Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you tell
me the height of the building, I will give you this barometer."


At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the
conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did know the
answer, but was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to
teach him how to think.'


The student was "Neils Bohr" (quantum theory, physics, mechanics, hydrogen
atom guru etc.) and the arbiter, "Rutherford."


THINK DIFFERENT!

WORTH READING 7 Oct 2004

"To be or not to be..."



To love or not to love, that is the question:

Whether ‘tis more gracious to endure

The storms and torrents of unavoidable pain

Or to choke your emotions against all sentiments

And by conflicting bar responsiveness. To benumb – to dampen,

No more, and by damping to say we numb

The heart-ache and the thousand inherent shocks

That yearning is heir to: ‘tis a bestowal

Fervently to be wish’d. To dampen, to numb;

To benumb, perchance to harden – ay, there’s the dilemma;

For in that when one hardens one’s heart what troubles may arise,

For when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

The questions we have to withstand – and what we reply is

What unbolts or barricades the pearly gates to divine abode.

For who would haul over the peaks and trenches their sentiments,

Those society has scorned, family has wounded,

Those beloveds have wrecked, friends have squandered,

Those brethren have wasted; the world has rebuked

What spirit and strength must man require

To carry the agonies that his nearest and dearest

Have gifted him? Who would heave these burdens,

With a heavy heart and a massed soul?

But the dread of something after death,

The unknown interrogations, that all come to face

That the Almighty and his angels greet us with,

That very dread gives us ironic strength to bear

And compel us to set our hearts on yet another.

The promise of pure love does make cowards of us all,

And thus we aspire to set our hearts right

And lighten our souls with pledges and warrants,

And search for another worthy of our love,

Our trust, our admirations, our cherishment,

And our prized treasures. Soft you now,

A fair young man approaches! Perchance this time,

Divine will is by my side.

WORK WORK WORK



A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that
if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes,
then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.



Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast
as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and
riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry
or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as
possible.



Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was
exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so
hard to
cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area
to bury myself."



The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard
everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect
our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty
and the hobbies we love.



One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that
much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.



Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life is
definitely not about work!

Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and
pleasures of life.

Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.

You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your
priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of
your decisions be based on your instincts.

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of
human existence.

So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is
fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced
lifestyle and enjoy Life!



Watch your thoughts ; they become words.

Watch your words ; they become actions.

Watch your actions ; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character .

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .
