A Lesson On Solving Problems

Image
Dear Friends Happy Evening Sharing an anecdote Enjoy reading *Russi Mody*, Chairman of Tata Steel between 1984-1993 He was once holding a weekly meeting with Tata Steel staff at a football ground in Jamshedpur. A worker took up a niggling issue. He said the quality and hygiene of toilets for workers was very bad. Whereas, he pointed out that the cleanliness and hygiene of Executives toilets are always very good. Mr Mody asked his top executive how much time he needs to set it right. The executive asked for a month to set it right. Mr Mody said "I would rather do it in a day. Send me a carpenter." Next day, when the carpenter came, he ordered the signboards to be swapped !!! The signboard on the "Workers" toilet was changed to "Executives" and Executive toilet to "Workers". The Tata Chairman then gave instructions to inter-change it every fortnight! The quality of both toilets became on par in 3 days time. Most CEO s would have delegated such ...

Let us Shop for LOVE

  Dear Friends Happy Sunday Afternoon Recently  I saw an advertisement in the Newspaper. It said that in the heart of the city a new shop with modern amenities  will be opened The shop is called HATRED and it sells only HATRED I decided to visit the shop because I wanted to know the cost of HATRED. I was welcomed by a  good salesman in the shop. I told him that I have come to buy HATRED. He told me, " Mam, yo cannot afford it"  I persuaded him to tell me the cost of HATRED He said, : OK mam. As you wish: He took in a deep breath, then started: It will first of all take away your inner peace. It will cost you incurable worries. It will eat up your heart. You will be deeply bitter whenever you set your eyes on the person you hate. When others are celebrating him or her, you will always be looking for why he or she doesn't deserve it. You will become so weak and tired of seeing the person. Whenever he or she laughs, you will cry. While others are busy ...

Lessons From a Trapped Mouse

Image
Dear Friends Happy Afternoon   A “mouse” was put at the top of a jar filled with grains. He was too happy to find so much food around him. Now he is very happy and feels that he need to run around searching for food As he enjoyed the grains, in a few days’ time, he reached the bottom of the jar. Now he is trapped and he cannot come out of it. He has to solely depend upon someone to put grains in the same jar for him to survive. He may not even get the grain of his choice and he cannot choose either. This trapped mouse is teaching us the following: Living in the comfort zones will not help us to grow in our life. Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps. If things are coming easy and we are getting comfortable with it, then we should understand that we are getting trapped into survival mode. Easy and comfortable life will make us lazy and inactive. We will neither use our intellect nor our skills. We also lose our problem solving abilities. Just observe the mouse. He has...

Live together Win together

Dear Friends Happy and Blissful Night Sharing a story: Live together Win together Source: Internet  A very good story Please give a read There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the award for the best grown corn. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked. “Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn too.” So it is with our lives. Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help to enrich the lives of othe...
