Things tat matters in 1's lyf,,,!!!‏

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

'Now ' , said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.'

'The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.'

'The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.'

'The sand is everything else--the small stuff.'

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.'

'The same goes for life.'
'If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.'

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.'
'Play with your children.'

'Take time to get medical checkups.'

'Take your partner out to dinner.'

'Play another 18.'

'There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.'

'Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.'

'Set your priorities.'

'The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.'

'It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend.'

Please share this with someone you care about.

10th Grade:-
         As I sat there in English class,
         I stared at the girl next to me.
         She was my so called 'best friend'.
         I stared at her long, silky hair,
         and wished she was mine.
         But she didn't notice me like that,
         and I knew it.
         After class,
         she walked up to me and asked me for
         the notes she had missed the day before.
         I handed them to her.She said 'thanks'
         and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
         I want to tell her, I want her to know
         that I don't want to be just friends,
         I love her but I'm just too shy,
         and I don't know why.

11th grade:-
           The phone rang. On the other end,                  
           it was her. She was in tears,;
           mumbling on and on about how
           her love had broke her heart.
           She asked me to come over
           because she didn't want to be alone, So I did.
           As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her
           soft eyes, wishing she was mine.
           After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie,
           and three bags of chips,
           she decided to go home.
           She looked at me, said 'thanks'
           and gave me a kiss
           on the cheek..I want to tell her,
           I want her to know that
           I don't want to be just friends,
           I love her but I'm just too shy,

Senior year:-
           One fine day she walked to my locker.
           'My date is sick' she said,
           'hes not gonna go' well,
           I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,
           we made a promise that
           if neither of us had dates,
           we would go together just as 'best friends'.
           So we did.
           That night, after everything was over,
           I was standing at her front door step.
           I stared at her as She smiled at me
           and stared at me with her crystal eyes.
           Then she said- 'I had the best time, thanks!'      
           and gave me a kiss on the cheek.;            
           I want to tell her,
           I want her to know

           I love her but I'm just too shy,
           and I don't know why.

Graduation:-
           A day passed, then a week, then a month.
           Before I could blink, it was graduation day.
           I watched as her perfect body
           floated like an angel        
             up on stage to get her diploma.
           I wanted her to be mine-but
           she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it.
           Before everyone went home,
           she came to me in her smock and hat,
           and cried as I hugged her.
           Then she lifted her head from my shoulder
           and said- 'you're my best friend,
           thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
           I want to tell her,
           I want her to know
           that I don't want to be just friends,
           I love her but I'm just too shy,
           and I don't know why.

           Now I sit in the pews of the church.
           That girl is getting married now.
           and drive off to her new life,
           married to another man.
           I wanted her to be mine,
           but she didn't see me like that,
           and I knew it.
           But before she drove away,
           she came to me and said 'you came !'.
           She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.
           I want to tell her,
           I want her to know
           that I don't want to be just friends,
           I love her but I'm just too shy,
           and I don't know why.

Death:-
           Years passed, I looked down at the coffin
           of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.
           At the service, they read a diary entry
           she had wrote in her high school years.
           This is what it read:
           'I stare at him wishing he was mine,
           but he doesn't notice me like that,
           and I know it.
           I want to tell him,
           I want him to know that
           I don't want to be just friends,
           I love him but I'm just too shy,
           and I don't know why.
           I wish he would tell me he loved me !
           .........'I wish I did too...'

           I thought to my self, and I cried.

BEING TWENTY-SOMETHING...Nice Feelings

Being Twenty-something - they call it the "Quarter-life Crisis. It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you never knew and may not like them particularly. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.

What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot don't seem as fun.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

Well said!!!

Tales from the Panchatantra, Version 2003

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop
programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a
river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday
market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table
and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his
childhood (the woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River
Goddess.


The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after
one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his
computer in the river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty.
She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer ?"
Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer
replied, "No."


She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if
that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.
The
engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all
three items,
but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you
know
that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up
my own,like the older Pachatantra Story ?"


The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you
stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and
the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!". So saying, she
disappeared with the Pentium!!

Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it's better keep

What is smartness??Must Read..

There once lived a great mathematician in a village outside Ujjain in India . He was often called by the local king to advice on matters related to the economy. His reputation had spread as far as Taxila in the North and Kanchi in the South. So it hurt him very much when the village headman told him, "You may be a great mathematician who advises the king on economic matters but your son does not know the value of gold or silver." 

The mathematician called his son and asked, "What is more valuable - gold or silver?" "Gold," said the son. "That is correct. Why is it then that the village headman makes fun of you, claims you do not know the value of gold or silver? He teases me every day. He mocks me before other village elders as a father who neglects his son. This hurts me. I feel everyone in the village is laughing behind my back because you do not know what is more valuable, gold or silver. Explain this to me, son." 

So the son of the mathematician told his father the reason why the village headman carried this impression. "Every day on my way to school, the village headman calls me to his house. There, in front of all village elders, he holds out a silver coin in one hand and a gold coin in other. He asks me to pick up the more valuable coin. I pick the silver coin. He laughs, the elders jeer, everyone makes fun of me. And then I go to school. This happens every day. That is why they tell you I do not know the value of gold or silver." 

The father was confused. His son knew the value of gold and silver, and yet when asked to choose between a gold coin and silver coin always picked the silver coin. "Why don't you pick up the gold coin?" he asked. In response, the son took the father to his room and showed him a box. In the box were at least a hundred silver coins. Turning to his father, the mathematician' s son said, "The day I pick up the gold coin the game will stop. They will stop having fun and I will stop making money." 

The bottom line is...

Sometimes in life, we have to play the fool because our seniors and our peers, and sometimes even our juniors like it. That does not mean we lose in the game of life. It just means allowing others to win in one arena of the game, while we win in the other arena of the game. We have to choose which arena matters to us and which arenas do not.

Old lady with Gun..really funny story

(This is supposedly a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida) 
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs,

"I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!" 

The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee, and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. 

He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed. 

Moral of the story? If you're going to have a senior moment...make it memorable.

U' will love this story :)

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 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 was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS...

Insight into Decision Making - Good One:..worthy reading

An excellent mail and truth of Life
Insight into Decision Making - Good One:

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........ .........

and then scroll down for the details.

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

The Frogs

A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs.

The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs!

The farmer replied, 'There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs -millions of them.

They all croak all night long and they are about to make me crazy!' So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at a time for the next several weeks.

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner
said, 'Well... where are all the frogs?' The farmer said, 'I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making a lot of noise!'

[ Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember, it's probably just a couple of noisy frogs.
Also remember that problems always seem bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about things which seem almost
overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll
wonder what all the fuss was about.]

The Turtles :) Great lesson for life

A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outing. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey they found a place ideal for them at last!

For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements.

Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed.
After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and
wobbled in his shell.

He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.

Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years...six years... then on the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwich.

At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, 'See! I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt.'

Moral: Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we
do not do anything ourselves.

Team work :) Nice Example
