THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LATERAL AND LOGICAL THINKING
Many years ago in a small Indian village,
A farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.
The Money lender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.
So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter.
He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag.
He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.
Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.
Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.
The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do?
Well, here is what she did....
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't ATTEMPT to think.
In 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.
When in Junior College:
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,
And I don't know why.
During Graduation:-
One fine day she walked to my classroom.
'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
That I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
And I don't know why.
At End of 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
Upon 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''s 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.
On the Marriage:-
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.
When 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 myself, and I cried.
HOPE ALL THE LOVERS WILL LEARN A LESSON FROM THIS STORY…JUST BE EXPRESSIVE IN YOUR LIFE…..EXPRESS YOUR HEART , EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS……COZ THERE IS SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE.
That one is very sad. :(

CONFIDENCE
Once, all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an Umbrella.
That's Confidence

TRUST
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air, he laughs......because he knows you will catch him.
That's Trust
***
HOPE
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still you have plans for the coming day.
That's Hope

Superb one must read it!!!!
A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:
Boy : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman : (at the other end of the phone line) "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman : I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
Woman : No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store Owner : "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
Boy : "No thanks,
Store Owner : But you were really pleading for one.
Boy : No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"
This is called
"Self Appraisal"
To all men who are planning to get married....
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 is 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 the back-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.
But not many guys understand this......
Please appreciate "HER"
really good one :clap: :clap:
Don't know where to post.. Hope this is the best available thread..

Do not have hand-to-eyes contact before cleaning your hands with antiseptic lotion, soap. Change your bedwraps, pillow covers, towels frequently. Avoid sharing rooms with affected people. If they are your subordinates, approve their leave for 2 days and if it is your boss, better you apply for leave.
If you feel irritation in your eyes, reddishness, formation of mucus, swelling, than apply Microflox lotion every 2 hours. If the problem still persists, consult the doctor and he'l prescribe the same medicine..

Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became a vegetable(Total permanent disability). The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is what was written :
Dearest,
Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No!
Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like
you.. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you. Because of
your smile, because of your every movement that I love you.. Now can you
smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you...
If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you
anymore :wave:
I am sure you are running your own business :tongueout:Quote:

The Nine Satanic Sins
1. Stupidity -- The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal
Sin of Satanism. It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful.
Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on
stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they
are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture
that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn
to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.
2. Pretentiousness -- Empty posturing can be most irritating and
isn't applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal
footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation
these days. Everyone's made to feel like a big shot, whether
they can come up with the goods or not.
3. Solipsism -- Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting
your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is
probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of
expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy
and respect that you naturally give them. They won't. Instead,
Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of "Do unto others as
they do unto you." It's work for most of us and requires
constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of
everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would
be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or
perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far
from that point.
4. Self-deceit -- It's in the Nine Satanic Statements but deserves
to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay
homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the
roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time
self-deceit should be entered into is when it's fun, and with
awareness. But then, it's not self-deceit!
5. Herd Conformity -- That's obvious from a Satanic stance. It's
all right to conform to a person's wishes, if it ultimately
benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting
an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a
master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the
many.
6. Lack of Perspective -- Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain
for a Satanist. You must never lose sight of who and what you
are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We
are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider
historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key
to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit
things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do
not be swayed by herd constraints -- know that you are working
on another level entirely from the rest of the world.
7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies -- Be aware that this is one
of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something
"new" and "different," when in reality it's something that was
once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We
are expected to rave about the genius of the "creator" and
forget the original. This makes for a disposable society.
8. Counterproductive Pride -- That first word is important. Pride
is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with
the bath-water. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you,
great. When it stops working for you, when you've painted
yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, "I'm
sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow,"
then do it.
9. Lack of Aesthetics -- This is the physical application of the
Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and
should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any
money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the
time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but "an eye"
for beauty, for balance, is an essential Satanic tool and must
be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It's not what's
supposed to be pleasing -- it's what is. Aesthetics is a
personal thing, reflective of one's own nature, but there are
universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should
not be denied.
"Something to believe in"
We all need something to believe in. whether it is something divine, faith related or someone close. Because it is so hard to go through this life without believing into something. Having a mission, direction and objective in life can overcome any darkness we are experiencing along the way

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
