Have a great day

"An old woman was walking on the beach one day. She saw that during the night, all the starfish had washed ashore. Hundreds of starfish lay glistening, out of reach of the receding waves.

“Then, she noticed two girls on the shoreline. They were gathering up starfish in their hands. Carefully, they threw handful after handful of starfish back into the ocean.

      

      “The old woman looked around and realized that a crowd of people had gathered to watch. No one had said anything to the girls. So finally the old woman asked, "What are you doing?"

“The girls answered, “These starfish will die if we don't get them back into the water."

“All the grownups chuckled. They thought the girls must be stupid or something. After all, everything died. Who cared about a few starfish? What did it matter anyway?

The crowd began to move away. But the old woman stayed, hoping to teach her younger sisters a lesson. She told the girls, "You're wasting your time. There are hundreds of starfish lying around out here. It's not going to make a difference."

  

The girls each picked up a starfish.

They showed the old woman the shiny, prickly side of each fish, with the beautiful colored ridges. They turned the starfish over. You could see movement as the starfish gaped, as if pleading for water.

Then the girls turned and threw the starfish gently back into the ocean. The waves carried the starfish away, floating it back into the deep, green water. The girls turned to the old woman and said -- "See? I just made a difference. I made a difference to that starfish."

        The old woman blushed. She saw that she had been wrong. These girls were wiser than she was. So, she bent down and began to pick up the starfish. She threw them into the sea. They moved slowly in her hands as if trying to thank her. Then the starfish sank below the surface, back to their home in the sea.

Eight hundred twenty-two starfish were saved that day, thanks to two girls who showed an old woman that one big heart has the power to move many, many hands."

God

Have a great day.
Courtesy---A mail from a Guru
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Sinecure

Have a great day.

I asked my work be done. The staffer did not understand his work. So I did the work myself. In the next room I heard his adverse remark, and I asked him what he meant. He said nothing.

When I was returning to my room, he stopped me and asked: Where are you going?

I said, I want to go out of here, and it’s the only decision I can take to reach my destination.

So you know your destination? he said, tauntingly.

I said yes, because here there is a place, not for hard workers, for people with sinecure jobs.

Gossip

Have a great day.

Don’t waste time in gossiping, for every 

moment is precious.

Laughter

Have a great day.

Those who can indulge in belly 

laughter are the luckiest while those 

with grim faces are the unfortunate. 

Now choice is yours --- whether to 

laugh all day or wear a grim face.

Try Again

Have a great day.

……thought to improve work culture, 

both at office and in the professional

arena, but burnt fingers badly.

Happiness

Have a great day.

-       I am indebted to life, which has given me everything----no regrets.

-       People, who don’t have a true friend, should be avoided.

-       Don’t allow the well to dry.

-       Only lack of self-restraint drives a person weak before others.

-       Speaking once, is politeness and repeating the same, is madness.

-       Self conquest is the greatest victory: Socrates.

-       A big change in attitude everyday will instill happiness in life.

-    Write Boldly, look timidly.

Seven-hooded snake

Have a great day.
This seven-hooded snake was found near Ramgarh in Jharkhand.

Friends and friendship

Have a great day.

-        How do you describe a true friend?

We can describe a friend by comparing him with the life having no blessings like a prudent friend, or making new friends, but keeping the old because new ones may be attributed to silver and the old with gold.

-        What is a friend?

The friend is like a flower that follows the sun even on cloudy days and a person with whom you dare to be yourself.

-        How do you overcome if your mind doubts a friend?

To doubt a friend is worse than to be ditched by him/her, and one should always remember that no person is useless while he has a friend.

-        How do you feel if your friend hurts your sentiment?

Never ever do anything that would allow your friend to hurt you, because it is chance that makes brothers but hearts that make friends.

-        How to make a friend and then maintain it?       

-        The only way to have friend is to be one. Keep the grip over the slim thread of friendship judiciously so that it can move freely---it may snap if you harden the grip and slip away if it loosens.   

-         

-        What to do if you don’t know how to maintain friendship?         

-        

         At most you can do for your friend is simply to be his friend, and never injure a friend even in haste, for your friend too has professional rivals who keep on spreading rumours against him/her.

-        

       What to do suppose friendship goes haywire following a misunderstanding?         

-        

       Straight talk with him/her is the best possible way to stay friends, because the language of friendship is understanding without sound of words.

Sourav Ganguly

Have a great day.

Why only I am the target of the critics? Wonders former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly during one of the IPL matches.

…..If only Ganguly knows that some –ex-cricketers want to make a living out of criticizing popular cricketers, particularly the types of the left-hander, because of their on-field aggressive nature and approach.

Known for his-bare-chested celebration at the Lord’s Test, Ganguly should ignore his critics and focus on his work instead, because distractions may increase inconsistency in his batting.

For example in his attempt to bell the cat, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar went hammer and tongs against Sachin Tendulkar’s “poor performance” a few years ago.

TV channels too joined Manjrekar’s attack and they coined a word—Endulkar--- just because it sounded lyrical (to them).

The charlatans thought Tendulkar had become a spent force after playing fifteen years then, which is seen as the maximum life span of a cricketer in the game. They also thought that attacking the little master would help them eke out a living.

But Tendulkar did not buckle under the pressure of their criticism, instead the master made Manjrekar and others to eat crow.

And it was possible because Tendulkar maintained his cool and gave a damn to his critics as he came back with a vengeance becoming one of the key members in the World Cup winning team headed by M S Dhoni.

He went on to complete 100 international hundreds, making the critics hurry to scurry for cover as he forced his critics to rewrite Endulkar as Tondulkar.

Tendulkar did not leave his critics there. Recently he said it was not his critics, but he was the master of his destiny and had the right to decide on his retirement.

Ganguly should take a leaf out of Tendulkar’s abhorrence against mean critics, who only want to make a living out of criticizing others, and give a damn to their criticism.

Another factor is that critics write bitterly because there are fans who love to read articles written against those cricketers whom rival fans at the paras (localities) adore.

For example a Dhoni’s fan loves to read negative reports against other cricketers, whom his/her friend idolizes------this will give the rival fans material for conversation and engage in arguments based on articles and what the pretenders say on idiot box, posing as commentators.

 Also by engaging themselves in the media, the critics, mostly former cricketers, get a chance to be in the game long after their retirement.

Dada should also introspect whether he had criticised or judged on performance of any other cricketer during his stint in the commentary box and written critical comments in his columns?

Boss

Have a great day.

"Watch your back around a jealous co-worker. 


This person will often pretend to be your friend, 


all the while hoping to gain information they can use 


against you at work. They are expert at twisting what

you say and taking it to the boss."

Please be polite

Have a great day.

It appears anti-corruption movement headed by Team Anna has become a professional outfit.

 So, congratulations to Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi for finding post-retirement jobs.

Do you people enjoy packages at par with management people for initiating the movement? 

If so, let your followers know.

After A P J Abdul Kalam’s criticism of your championing for a Lok Pal, tell your followers----how honest you people have been or had been? Because the missile man is wiser than you three, and he can't be wrong.
