Thought that matters 2006-12-07 14:12:00 An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over.I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison. Love, Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"
At 4a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused,the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply w Read more:matters
Appraisal Vs Resignation 2006-12-07 04:35:00 A newly-joined trainee engineer asks his boss "What is the meaning of appraisal?"
Boss : " Do you know the meaning of resignation?"
Trainee : " Yes, I do."
Boss : " So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation. "
In an Appraisal
meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.In a Resignation
meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.
During an Appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.In a Resignation meeting you can easily demand (or get more without asking more than 50-60% pay-hike!
During an Appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.During Resignation, they'll say you are the core member of the team; that you are the vision of the company, and so " How can you go ?

Everything Happens For A Reason 2006-12-06 02:21:00 Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there.to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything
happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experienc Read more:Reason

The 90/10 Principle 2006-12-06 02:10:00 The 90/10 secret is incredible! Very few know and apply this secret. Worry consumes time, anger breaks friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest.. Friends are lost. Understand and apply the 90/10 secret. 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you, YOU can control how you react! Let's use an example. You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determi Read more:Principle
Salt - The Cure of Pain 2006-12-06 02:08:00 I believe that most of your moms always tell you to drink a glass of salt water/rinse your mouth with salt water if you have a sore throat or tooth ache because salt can reduce inflammation. This method has actually been proven (medically) to be really effective and it really can help to reduce inflammation. They have also tested on other medical values of salt and found out that: If you have pain in your joints/spine/body, you can simply try out this method which can help to relieve the pain (especially for old people who have rheumatism). Simply fry the salt let it settle down for a while before applying on affected areas. And if you have a problem of Hair Loss, you can simply prepare a pail of salt water and rinse your scalp/hair with it (it takes about 2 weeks to a month). It will not help in growing of new hair but can prevent. After tedious/strenuous exercise, soaking your feet with salt water can help to prevent cramps and pain., also prevent from skin irritation.

The Independent Mind 2006-12-05 02:10:00 The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen: "Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper using a barometer."
One student replied: "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."
This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed immediately. He appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did not display any noticeable knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it was decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity with the basic principles of physics.
For five minutes the stud

The way we treat people 2006-12-05 02:04:00 Five lessons to make you think about the way we treatpeople
. Author is Unknown but please try to understand the deep meaning in each lession
1) First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school? Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'HELLO'. I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so ... was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you. He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan." Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

"As a matter of fact, BOSS, I have a wonderful idea to push up the speed of Operations by 200%"
The CEO gave an encouraging smile, which effectively masked the sympathy he felt for the young manager. "Excellent! Sit down and shoot!"

Is Your Ego Getting in the Way of Your Success? 2006-12-02 08:25:00 "Egotist, n. A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me." Ambrose Bierce ("The Devil's Dictionary")
We all have egos. In fact, most of the most successful people I know (including artists, engineers, and businesspeople) have very strong egos. The ego, after all, is the part of our psyche that drives us to chase our dreams.
There is, however, a difference between having an ego that fuels your ambitions and having one that drives you to make yourself the center of attention.
This explains how to find out whether your ego is helping or hurting you. And then tell you how to use the natural strength of your ego to propel you faster toward your dreams.
How big is your ego? Is it big enough to propel you forward? To help you achieve your goals? Or is it so big that it's getting in your way?
In an article in Chief Executive Magazine, Larry Bossidy, former chairman and CEO of Honeywell, says that businesspeople on ego trips screw up in three ways:

The Boy & The Apple Tree 2006-12-02 08:00:00
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. "Come and play with me", the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more", the boy replied.
I want toys. I need money to buy them. Sorry, but I do not have money but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money. The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited Come and play with me the tree said. I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house fo Read more:Apple

Shut down your computer when you leave the office 2006-12-01 02:24:00 Please spend 2 mins and read this article. This is intended to target users in India but I would say that this is applicable to worldwide. So, whenever you read the name India replace it with your country name.
Do you switch off your machine before you leave for the day?
You may be of the assumption that switching off the monitor alone should suffice and a complete shut down of the machine is really not necessary because it is the monitor which consumes more power than the CPU - you are 100 % correct. But let us view this in a slightly different way - just because CPU consumes lesser power, would you keep your personal PC @ home always switched ON and just the monitor alone switched off ? Naaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. I am sure none of us would do that . we would not do that because 'we' are paying the electricity bill from 'our' pocket - but at office
, we are really not bothered to save power as we don't bear the power cost.
It is high time we change our attitude towards this.

The millionaire thought for a moment and said: "a public bathroom attendant."
