We are people, not programmed devices........

It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices......... :)

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life.

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? Speech by Chetan Bhagat.

Don't say you're not important....

Don't say you're not important,
It simply isn't true,

The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.

The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,
That's all you need to know.

Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.

God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,
In this book, you are the 'Star'

Quick Management Story: Kutta, Sher Aur Bandar

I hope you enjoy the story.

Ek din ek kutta jungle main raasta kho gaya. Tabhi usne dekha ek sher uskii
taraf aa raha hai. Kutte ki saans rookh gayi. "Aaj to kaam tamaam mera!"
usne socha. Phir usne saamane kuchh sookhi haddiyan padi dekhi. Woh aate hue
sher ki taraf peeth kar ke baith gaya aur ek sookhi hadii ko choosne laga
aur zor zor se bolne laga, "wah! Sher ko khaane ka mazaa hi kuch aur hai. Ek
aur mil jaaye to poori daawat ho jayegi!"

Aur usne zor se dakaar mara. Is bar sher soch mein pad gayaa. Usne socha "ye
kutta to sher ka shikar karta hai! Jaan bacha kara bhago!"

Aur sher wahan se jaan bachaa ke bhaaga.

Ped par baitha ek Bandar yeh sab tamasha dekh raha tha. Usne socha yeh mauka
achha hai sher ko saari kahani bata deta hoon - sher se dosti ho jayegi aur
usse zindagi bhar ke liye jaan ka khatra dur ho jayega.. Woh phataphat sher
ke pichhe bhaaga. Kutte ne Bandar ko jaate hue dekh liya aur samajh gayaki
koi locha hai. Udhar Bandar ne sher ko sab bata diya ki kaise kutte ne use
bewakoof banaya hai. Sher zor se dahada, "chal mere saath abhi uski leela
khatam karta hoon" aur Bandar ko apani peeth par baitha kar sher kutte ki
taraf
lapka.

Can u imagine the quick management by the DOG...

Kutte ne sher ko aate dekha to ek baar phir uskii taraf peeth karke baith
gaya aur zor zor se bolne laga, "Is Bandar ko bhej ke 1 ghanta ho gaya,
saala ek sher phasaa kar nahi la sakta!"


Moral of the story:
There are many such monkeys around us, try to identify
them.
