The Perfect Boss

There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss, but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, "Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm." His boss replied, "OK, You're permitted to leave the office early today".

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM. suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss, He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. >>
He reached home. Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him "Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry." The man replied "If you would like to have coffee, I too will have; but, what about Children?" Wife replied "You don't know? Your manager came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children to the exhibition".

What had really happened was ......: The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition the boss does not have to do it every time. But once it is done, loyalty is established. That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous.

By the way, can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?

He was none other than
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam,
Former-President of India...

Inpiring Enlightening Story...(Pls Read)...

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.

During some point of the Journey they had an Argument, and one friend Slapped the other one In the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

 

 TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

 

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.

The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

 

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

 

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"

 

The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

 

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

‘I once sold lottery tickets’ : V Nandakumar, IRS officer

Young, suave, articulate and studious are the words that best describe V Nandakumar, an IRS officer.

Nandakumar, who is now an assistant director, investigation department, in the income tax office at Nungambakam, has become a role model for the city’s IAS aspirants, who usually throng his office for advice.

The childhood of this 2004-batch IRS officer was not a bed of roses. He was a school dropout. “I once sold lottery tickets, worked in mechanic shops, as well as television and radio repair centres. Initially I enjoyed the routine as there was no homework and I did not get scolded by teachers. But later, my friends’ parents did not allow me to mingle with them. That was the turning point,” he informs.

After battling dyslexia, Nandakumar secured 52 per cent in his 12th standard examinations. He knocked the doors of many colleges but was denied admission. Finally, he got admission to the English literature course at the Dr Ambedkar Arts and Science College.

“I was an average student and it was difficult to follow English but I worked hard and I was the only one who passed out of college with distinction in English literature,” he recalls. In 1997, Nandakumar started preparing for the UPSC examination. With sheer determination, he cracked this tough examination and now holds a prestigious post.

Change Your Thinking

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking..
.
.
.
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. 
.
.
.
.
.
.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
.
.
.
His bed was next to the room's only window. 
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. 
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
The men talked for hours on end.
.
.
.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.. 
.
.
.

.

.
.
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. 
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and colour of the world outside. 
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
.
.
.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. 
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.
.
.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. 
.
.
.

.
.
..
.
Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. 
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.Days, weeks and months passed. 
.
.
.

.
.
.
.One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the .man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
.
.
.She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. 
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The .nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
.He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed. 
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I.t faced a blank wall. 
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such .wonderful things outside this window. 
.
.
.
..
.
.
.
.
.
.The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. 

.
.
.
.
.
.
She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.' 

.
.

.
.

.
.
.
.
Epilogue: 
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. 
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. 
'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .'

Wealth,Love N Success-->Story To Learn

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”
“Is the head of home there?”, they asked.
“No”, she replied. “He’s out.”
“Then we cannot come in”, they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
“Go tell them I am home and invite them in!”
The woman went out and invited the men in”
“We do not go into a House together,” they replied.
“Why is that?” she asked.
One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!!”, he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!”
His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”
Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!”
“Let us heed our daughter’s advice,” said the husband to his wife.“Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would’ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him.

Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !”

Merchant and Four Wives

Read Story CareFully At The End U Will Know The Truth....

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant’s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
Now, the merchant’s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be!"
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!" The merchant’s heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you’ve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
Then a voice called out : "I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !"
 
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives
a. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it’ll leave us when we die.
b. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
c. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we’re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
d. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it’s a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we’re on our deathbed to lament
