Why planning is important?


Why Planning is important?

One Night 4 college students were playing till late night and could not study for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty with grease and dirt.
They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tire of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.
So the Dean said they could have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they would be ready by that time.
On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days.

The Test consisted of 2 questions with a total of 100 Marks.
Q.1. Your Name......................... (2 MARKS)
Q.2. which tire burst? (98 MARKS)
a) Front Left b) Front Right c) Back Left d) Back Right.....!!!
True story from IIT Bombay...Batch 1992......

Why the Wedding Ring Worn over 4th Finger..!!!


Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.


Thumb represents your -- Parents

Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings

Middle finger represents your Self Fourth

(Ring) finger represents your Life Partner & Last (Little) finger represents your Children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back

Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (As shown in the figure Above) Now, try to Separate your Thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong (Sorry but its the Truth), and have to leave you sooner or later. Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives. Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day. Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CAN NOT ..,

Coz Husband &Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin.. !! ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY.. ??

A Story about Friendship....


A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert During some point of the Journey they had an Argument, and one friend Slapped the other one In the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE!!! They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Giving Love Is The Greatest Pleasure Of Life...






Blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: ' I am blind, please help .' There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words.
He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.

The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was: ' Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it. ' Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.' The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling… And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!! Giving Love Is The Greatest Pleasure Of Life...

PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY


Hello dear,

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students

"How much do you think this glass weighs?"

'50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ...the students answered

"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor,

"but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"

'Nothing' c..the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked. '

Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student "You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"

"Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!"

c.. ventured another student & all the students laughed

"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the professor.

'No' c. Was the answer.

"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?" The students were puzzled.

"What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.

"Put the glass down!" said one of the students

"Exactly!" said the professor.

Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way! So, when you leave office today, Remember friend to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! '

A Small Note on Life....


Life is like having a cup of coffee.
You sit by the window, lift the cup, take careless sip and find no sugar.
Too lazy to go for the sugar, you somehow manage with that sugarless cup.
On finishing you discover un dissolved sugar crystals settled at the bottom.
That’s how life is!!
Learn to value what is around you or within you.
May be the sweetness you are looking for is closer than you think.....

A story that will make you think...


A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office 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 fascinated by its color and 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 five words.
QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?
Scroll down...
ANSWER:
The husband just said "I am with you Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a 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 have happened.No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What sheneeded 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. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

The Window ( = Nature of Out Heart)


Story about Window:-
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."
The husband said: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!"
And so it is with life: "What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge. "

True Love...


Story About Love:-
Read on the below story...
In a classroom there were several kids, when one of them asked the
teacher:
- Teacher, what is LOVE ?
The teacher felt the kid deserved the best answer she could give to that
intelligent question. Since it was almost time for a break, she asked
every student to go around the school and come back with something that
would bring the feeling of love.

The kids rushed out the classroom, and when they came back the teacher
said:
- So, I want everybody to show what you brought to the whole class.
The first kid said:
- I brought this FLOWER, isn't it beautiful ?
The second kid said:
- I brought this BUTTERFLY. Look at these colorful wings, I am gonna put
it in my collection !
The third kid said:
- I brought this YOUNG BIRD. It had fallen with another one from the
nest. Isn't it cute ?
And the kids were showing what they brought.
After almost everybody had showed their discoveries, the teacher noticed
that there was a kid who had been quiet all the time. She was ashamed
because she had not brought anything.The teacher went to her and asked:
- My dear, why haven't you brought anything ?
She then answered in an innocent voice:
- I am sorry teacher. I saw the FLOWER, and felt its perfume. I was
going to take it, but I preffered to leave it so its perfume would last
longer and others could feel it. I also saw the BUTTERFLY, soft,
colorful..she seemed so happy that I did not want to disturb it. I also
saw the YOUNG BIRD that had fallen between the leafs, but as I climbed
the tree, I noticed the sad look of its mother, so I decided to return
it to the nest. Therefore, I only bring with me: the perfume of the
flower, the feeling of liberty of the butterfly and the gratefulness of
the look of the little bird's mother...
The teacher thanked the young kid and gave her an A, because she was the
only one who realized that we can only bring LOVE in our HEARTS...


Love can only be felt...not possessed,
If you try to possess it for your pleasure,
then love can never be "LOVE"!!!


Sudha - The Loveable...
