Its Madness -
To hate all roses, because you got scratched by one thorn.
To give up all your dreams, because one did not come true.
To lose faith in prayers, because one was not answered.
To give up on your efforts, because one of them failed.
To condemn all your friends, because one of them betrayed.
Not to believe in love, because someone was unfaithful.
Remember that, another chance may come up.
A new friend, A new love, A new life.
Never give up on anything!

Two Wolves Within Us
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves inside us all."
"One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."
"The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather Which wolf wins?
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

What looks like half apple? A. The other half. (UPSC - IAS Topper) Q. What can you never eat for breakfast? A. Dinner. Q. What happened when wheel was invented? A. It caused a revolution. Q. Bay of Bengal is in which state? A. Liquid (UPSC 33 Rank) Below are the Interview Questions, which were asked in HR Round... No one will get second chance to impress... Very very Impressive Questions and Answers... Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, its raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for a bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually as a part of a job application. *You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die and thus you should save her first; *or you could take the old friend because he once saved you life and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. *However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer? He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams." Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." Question 2: "What will you do if I run away with your sister?" The candidate who was selected answered "I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir." Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant. Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband. Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked. Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you? Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea". He got selected. You know how and why did he say "Tea" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before. (Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet) Reply was "TEA" (T - alphabet) Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U" Question 5: Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"? People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc... But the logic is, Diwali was celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna killing Narakasura. In Dasavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar. So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali at all! Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where you have kept your files." Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that "Sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask..." And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. This is what Interviewer expects from the Interviewee... "THINK OUT OF BOX" |

The women in your life !!!!
Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.
Here is a girl who is as much educated as you are; Who is earning almost as much as you do.
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she as human as you are.
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life.
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name.
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you.
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on theback-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities.
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise.
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met.
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her.
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

Don't Change the World
Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country.
One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony.
He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.
Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"
The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.
There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

POSSESSING LOVE
The greatest mistake in Love is trying to possess it.
It will spill out of hand just like water.
Love will retrieve from you if you demand, if you expect.
Love is meant to be free; you cannot change its nature.
If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give, but don't expect. Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

90/10 Principle - by Stephen Covey
Author: Stephen Covey
Discover the 90/10 Principle
It will change your life
(or at least, the way you react to the situations)
What is this Principle?
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 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. However you can
control your reaction. Do not let people fool you.
YOU can control how you react.
Let us use an example...
You are having breakfast with your family.
Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto
your business shirt. You have no control over what
has just happened. What happens next will be
determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly
scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.
She breaks down in tears. And scolding her, you turn
to your wife and you criticize her for placing the cup
too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal
battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your
shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has
been too busy crying to finish her breakfast and getting
ready to go to school. She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.
Because you are late, you drive 40 mph in 30 mph
speed limit zone. After a 15-minute delay and throwing
$60.00 traffic fine away, you arrive at school.
Your daughter runs into the building without saying
goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minute late,
you realize you forgot your briefcase. Your day
started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get
worse and worse. You look forward to coming
home. When you arrive home, you find a small wedge
in your relationship with your wife and daughter.
Why??
Because of how you reacted in the morning
Why did you have a bad day?

Why??
Because of how you reacted in the morning
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is "D"
You had no control of what had happened with the
coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what
caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say:
"It's okay, honey, you just need to be more careful next time."
Grabbing a towel you go upstairs and change your shirt.
You grab your briefcase, and you come back down in
time to look through the window and see your child
getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5
minutes early a cheerfully greet the staff.
Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios.
Both started the same.
Both ended different.
Why?
Because of how you reacted.
You really have no control over 10% of what happens in
your life. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
Now you know the 90/10 principle. Apply it and you will
be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try
it. The 90/10 principle is incredible. Very few know and
apply this principle.
The result?
You will see by yourself!
Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress,
trials, problems and headaches.
We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It can change your life!
**Enjoy it**
It only gives willpower to give ourselves permission to
make the experience. Absolutely everything we do, give,
say, or even think, its like a Boomerang. It will come
back to us. It we want to receive, we need to learn
to give it first... May be we will end with our
hands empty, but our heart will be filled with love...
And those who love life, have that feeling marked in their hearts...
