hello cygs,
Welcome back !! :D
This story posted is weird.
A MAN SHOULD HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO REALISE love still lingers on
heavier grounds esp on marital relationships. It cant be reminded and made visible by making the man carry the bride (now
atleast 5 kgs more) from the threshold every single day.
If such a reminder is NCESSARY, that marriage is NOT WORTH KEEPING.
NOBODY IS HERE TO SAY ON A REBOUND.
Guys & Gals,
What Cygnus said is very true.....
I retreated into my little hole for sometime but when this came to me, just can't resist the temptation to share it in this hub....glad Roshan, PP and Cygnus found it good...
Will keep a look out for more.... till then, chao!
If we reduce the population of the Earth to a small town with 100
People and keep the proportions, it will look like this:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (northern and southern)
8 Africans
52 women
48 men
70 coloured-skins
30 Caucasians
89 heterosexuals
11 homosexuals
6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them
will be from the United States of America
80 would have bad living conditions
70 will be uneducated
50 will be underfed
1 would die
2 would be born
1 will have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education
If you look at the world from this point of view, you will see how
there is a big need for solidarity, understanding, patience and education.
Also think about the following:
If this morning you've woke up healthy, you are happier then 1
million people that will not survive next week.
If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the
agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier then 500 million people in the
world.
If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you
have bed and a roof, you are richer then 75% of the people in the world.
If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the
money-box, you belong to the 8% of the people on the world, which
are well-to-do.
glad i could atleast contribute once...
Querida .. welcome to this forum....& thanks for the silent reminders........plz contribute more....
Querida,
That's a good one ! :) Let me also contribute something :) I have posted this long time back in Ulagam Enbathu thread and I remember some interesting analysis posted by geno and Akil on this anecdote :) Here it is;
I知 special
I知 special. In all the world there is nobody like me.
Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my voice. I知 special.
Nobody anywhere has my tastes, for food or music or art. No one sees things just as I do.
In all of time there has been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughter and tears for anybody else, ever.
No one reacts to any situation just as I would react. I知 Special..!
I知 the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities. Oh! There will always be somebody who is better at some of the things I知 good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of my combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony , when all are played together. I知 a symphony.
Through all entity no one will ever look, walk, think or do like me. I知 Special, I知 rare.
And as in all reality, there is great value. Because of my rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept, yes! Celebrate my differences.
I知 special and I知 beginning to realize it痴 no accident that I知 special. I知 beginning to see that God made me special for a very special purpose. He must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as I. Out of all billion applicants only one qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes.
That one is ME ... Because I樽 SPECIAL !!!!!!!!!
:thumbsup: Roshan!
hey Roshan that was enlightening :D ...yet it is sad to know how hard some of us would find it to say those things about ourselves...yet being able to understand how true one is special is a encouraging step in the right direction...thanx for sharing that! :D
Querida, I came across something similar like the one you posted, it goes like this:
1) If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep . . . you are richer than 75% of this world.
2) If you woke up this morning with more health than illness . . . you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
3) If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation . . . you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
4) If you can attend a spiritual meeting without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death . . . you are luckier than three billion people in the world.
5) If you can hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful (for anything), you are blessed....because the majority can do the same, but most do not.
6) If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
7) If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
So, isn't it time to thank God for the happiness He has given us?
Other ones, albeit diff context:
Once a Japan's biggest cosmetics company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface). In order to solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million.
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did Russians do...............................?? The Russians used a Pencil!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
Moral of the story: always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem.
Its nice to learn to focus on solutions not on problems.
Now for some laughs:
Corporate Lesson 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel that you have on."
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves. Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk in time with your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Corporate Lesson 2
A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road, he stopped and offered her a lift, which she accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg.
The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand.
Changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" Once again the priest apologized, "Sorry sister, but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun got out gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up Psalm 129.
It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story:
Always be well informed in your job, or you might miss a great opportunity.
Corporate Lesson 3
A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke.
The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Poof! She's gone.
In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life."
Poof! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Corporate Lesson 4
A crow was sitting on a tree, do ing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
The crow answered, "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Corporate Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the
bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
Soon, he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there for long.
Corporate Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.
While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
