Life Positive and More

An Open Letter from a Grand Pa LATELY, I have been thinking a lot about the Lehman crisis . Spending money that they didn't have and going beyond their means is one of the main reasons for their situation today.  In fact that is the cause for the current economic crisis in the US.  When I see all this happening, I can only remember the good old days. Then, karz (Hindi for 'Debt') was bad. People looked down upon those who took loans. Parents would not give their daughter's hand in marriage to a man with loans. But of course, times have changed now. Everyone I know has a loan. The buzz word is EMI(equated monthly installment). Today, you can buy everything on EMI - a house, a television, an i-Pod.  In fact I know of someone who just bought a fancy BMW 3 series on EMI, instead of buying a cheaper car outright with cash. I mostly prefer to take public transport, but then I am an old man with old thoughts! Anyway, coming back to what caused the crisis. Imagine havin...

A French teacher was explaining to her college class that in French, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.   House is feminine "la maison." Pencil is masculine "Le crayon."   *********   A student asked, "What gender is computer ?"   Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups male and female - and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.   Each group was asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.   *********   The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender (la computer) because:   1.. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;   2.. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;   3.. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review; and   4.. As soon as y...

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him". A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the g...

Subject: A very, very hilarious account of our great Indian Traffic....   This was written by a visitor from Baan, Netherlands, after having spent two years in Hyderabad. Driving in India: For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer. Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best, and leave the results to your insurance company. The hints are as follows: Do we drive on the left or right of the road? The answer is 'both'. Basically you start on the left of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess. Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules leads to much misery and occasional fatali...

For all mothers...   After having reached at the peak of his career a man felt an urge to repay back to his mother for all that she had done for him.So he asked her, "Mother, what can I give you? What can I do for you? I sincerely want to repay you for all the sacrifices you have made for me and for all the love you have showered upon me. "Mother looked surprised and said, "Why do you think about it. It was my duty so I did it, you don't have to repay me. Even if you want  to, there is no way a man can ever repay his mother." Despite her continuous refusal to ask for anything, he continued to Persist. To put an end to the discussion, she said, "All right. If  you must, then tonight you sleep on my bed, with me, just as you used to when you were a baby." He said, "That's a strange thing to ask for, but if  it pleases you, I will." As soon as he fell asleep, the mother got up and brought a bucket of water. She poured a mug full of water...

This e-mail received from a person working in a Software Company   Dear colleagues, I am working in Blore Software City .... I wanted to share an incident of my life with you, hoping that it may be an eye opener to you so that you can live more years. On 27th October afternoon, I had severe heart attack symptom and I was rushed to the hospital. After reaching to the hospital, the doctors prescribed a test called angiogram.

Please see the below points of my life style, if any of these points are part of your life style then you are at risk, please change yourselves.   1.     I was not doing any physical exercise for more than 10 years , not even walking 30 minutes a day for years . 2.     My food ti...

Bank Crisis in Terms I Can Understand  The financial crisis explained in simple terms.............................  Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Berlin . In order to increase sales,she decides to allow her loyal customers - most of whom are unemployed alcoholics - to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumedon a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans).  Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers floodinto Heidi's bar.  Taking advantage of her customers' freedom from immediate paymentconstraints, Heidi increases her prices for wine and beer, the most-consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics as collateral. At the bank's corporate headquarters, exper...

A Chinese walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says, 'You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here.' The astonished Chinese man replied, 'It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour , it was the Japanese'. 'Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same,' replied Spielberg. In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says, 'You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship.' Shocked, Spielberg replies, 'It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me.' The Chinese replies, 'Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same.'

As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because the re in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other 20 children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant.. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big 'F' at the top of his papers. At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy ...

Monica married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With Rs.1000 deposit amount. Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your  marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new  life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.' Monica shared this with Hitesh when getting home.

A little boy wanted Rs 50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs 50. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they decided to forward it to the Prime Minister as a joke. The Prime Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs 30. The Prime Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the Rs 30, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which reached the Prime Minister and it read: "Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that you sent it through the 7 Race Course Road and those donkeys deducted Rs 20 for taxes" -- ====Read inspiring small stories at my website at http://www.lifeplan.co.nr/ .

On a hot afternoon, a man in civilian clothes was riding past a small group of soldiers digging a huge pit , doing a seemingly impossible task. The group leader was shouting orders and threatening of punishments, if the work was not completed in an hour. The man riding the horse stopped and asked "Sir, Why can't you help them yourself ? ". The group leader replied. "I am the leader. The men obey as I command them. If you feel so strong , go and help them". The man worked with the soldiers till the job was finished. Before leaving , he said to the leader. " The next time your status prevents you from supporting your people, inform your immediate boss.I will provide a more permanent solution". The group leader was completely taken aback. Only now he realised that the man...

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices he has a note in his mouth. He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb,please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well". The butcher looks inside and, behold, a ten dollar note. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut up shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street when he comes to a level crossing. The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The bu...

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love, kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extr...

Subject:ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF ANY THING? By Sri Sri Ravishanker. Do you have it in you? The first major aspect of good leadership is letting go of control.   Are you in control when you're sleeping or when you're dreaming? No!   Are you in control of any other function in your body? No! Your heart is pumping all by itself. You have No Control!    Your liver functions by itself. You Have No Control!    The food you stuff in the stomach gets digested all by itself. No Control Again!   Do you have any control over any one of them? No!   Are you in control of the Sun and Moon moving around the globe or even the globe rotating on itself? No!   Are you in control of the thoughts that come into your head? No!   So, when you realize you really do not have any control over all major things that are happening in you life, you'll stand up and laugh. "Oh, what am I thinking, am I in control of something?" Then you will realize t...

One day, the sage gave the disciple an empty sack and a basket of potatoes. "Think of all the people who have done or said something against you in the recent past, especially those you cannot forgive. For each of them, inscribe the name on a potato and put it in the sack ." The disciple came up quite a few names, and soon his sack was heavy with potatoes. "Carry the sack with you wherever you go for a week," said the sage. "We'll talk after that." At first, the disciple thought nothing of it. Carrying the sack was not particularly difficult. But after a while, it became more of a burden. It sometimes got in the way, and it seemed to require more effort to carry as time went on, even though its weight remained the same. After a few days, the sack began to smell. The carved potatoes gave off a ripe odor. Not only were they increasingly inconvenient to carry around, they were also becoming rather unpleasant. Finally, the week was over. The s...

We all have something to learn from this girl. As a drought continued for what seemed an eternity, a small community of farmers was in a quandary as to what to do. Rain was important to keep their crops healthy and sustain the towns people's way of life. As the problem became more acute, a local pastor called a prayer meeting to ask for rain. Many people arrived. The pastor greeted most of them as they filed in. As he walked to the front of the church to officially begin the meeting he noticed most people were chatting across the aisles and socializing with friends. When he reached the front his thoughts were on quieting the attendees and starting the meeting. His eyes scanned the crowd as he asked for quiet. He noticed an eleven year-old girl sitting quietly in the front row. Her face was beaming with excitement. Next to her, poised and ready for use, was a bright red umbrella. The little girl's beauty and innocence made the pas...

Have you seen the movie, The Matrix? There are some incredible analogies in that movei for making the shift from the position world to the vision world... In The Matrix, the "real world" is just an integrated illusion that controls people.  It's called, "The Matrix." So it is with our minds... the walls of your personal matrix are made up of the conclusions, assumptions and judgments that you've formed to date. These protect you from clearly seeing things in a way that would have you feel responsible for exiting the matrix and "being the one" for humanity. We can no longer live at the level of position and survive as a species.  We must "see" the matrix for what it is... In the movie a few of the characters are attempting to bend spoons using only their minds.  In order to do so, they must see the spoon for what it is... an illusion generated by the matrix. I am not suggesting that there is no objective reality outside of our minds...

My Lessons in Life By Azim Premji ******************************************************* Azim Premji, Chairman and Managing Director of Wipro Limited, shares his perspective on success and effective living with teenagers ******************************************************* The funny thing about life is that you realize the value of something only when it begins to leave you. As my hair turned from black, to salt and pepper to finally salt without pepper, I have begun to realize the importance of youth. At the same time, I have begun to truly appreciate some of the lessons I have learnt along the way. I hope you will find them useful when you plan your career and life. The first thing I have learnt is that we must always begin with our strengths. From the earliest years of our schooling, everyone focuses on what is wrong with us. There is an imaginary story of a rabbit. The rabbit was enrolled in a rabbit school. Like all rabbits, it could hop very well but could not swim. At ...
