Lovely ...!!!

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied." I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again."

He paused. "Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

What U see...?

One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"Very good Dad!" replied his son.
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Yeah!"
"And what did you learn?"
The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

Our outlook on life depends on the way you look at things. What others may think as riches, others may want. The most important things in life are your friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life. If you have these then you have everything!

Changing the world..., but how...???

Once a old man told me this, “When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world." And I thought this would be of great help for people who are trying to change the world or trying to adapt to the world.

Keep Helping...!!!

One day an old man was walking along the beach in the early morning and noticed the tide had washed thousands of starfish up on the shore. Up ahead in the distance he spotted a boy who appeared to be gathering up the starfish and one by one tossing them back into the ocean.

He approached the boy and asked him why he spent so much energy doing what seemed to be a waste of time.

The boy replied, "If these starfish are left out here like this they will bake in the sun, and by this afternoon they will all be dead."

The old man gazed out as far as he could see and responded, "But, there must be hundreds of miles of beach and thousands of starfish. You can't possibly rescue all of them. What difference is throwing a few back going to make anyway?"

The boy then held up the starfish he had in his hand and replied, "It's sure going to make a lot of difference to this one!"
Try to help…, Even if your help might not even 1% successful for U…, It might 200% successful for people U help.

Know about life and Enjoi it........ :) ...!!!

The American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna.
The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied "only a little while". The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The American then asked, "but what do you do with the rest of your time?" The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "15-20 years."
"But what then, senor?" The American laughed and said that's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions.
"Millions, senor? Then what?"
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar."

Mongoose bat might have made a difference...???

Yesterday CSK suffered a mighty blow from DC. The possible reason would be Hayden not using a mongoose bat or Gilchrist, Symonds or Gibbs not needing a mongoose bat. But I feel mongoose bat might not have made any difference.
As we know, CSK is pathetic in their bowling department, which is not much of an excuse, as they are the successful group compared to other seven (reaching semifinal and final in their last two IPL). They actually reached both with this pathetic bowling department. Except for a forceful weapon named Murali, CSK’s bowlers are a bunch of decent performers, who can’t win any match with their bowling.
So, where was the problem?
I feel the problem laid in the role definition of the batsmen. Vijay, I feel is the main culprit. He has a gun waiting to blaze away the whole of DC on the other end, and yet he tries some stupid shot and gets bowled. He is really good in taking good singles and playing ‘Bevan’ish innings, why, the hell, is he trying to clear the boundary, that too just the third ball he faced in the innings.
Ok, he tried something stupid and he got out, Fine. The next step should be a consolidation act, isn’t it? Instead of sending Raina, Badri would have been a better option, to play that kind of innings. There should be clear strategy, that if Hayden gets out we should send Raina and if Vijay gets out we should send Badri. By this way we always have balance on the pitch, which acts as a consolidation. If this consolidation act gets us to 10th - 12th over with 2 wickets down and some 7-8 runs per over, we have chance of completing any chase, with the firepower of our lower middle order. This, I feel, would help CSK. But still there are always people who know things better than us. CSK ku whistle podu  …!!!

When will we realize this...???

Today when I was traveling to office, I encountered and enlightened by an interesting incident.
I was traveling to my office from my home, and the distance would be somewhere around 11 km. While I was driving I saw a man and a dog on the road. The dog was so sensible (or so fearful) to cross the road. But the man was crossing the road, pointing the palm towards the vehicle coming towards him. He was expecting the people who are coming in some 30-45 kmph to stop, so as to cross the road. He was not cared about the no. of people who were stopping (and scolding) in front of him.
They dog waited till this happened and went on to cross the road when people were busy shouting at that man who crossed the road. I said this as an interesting incident at the starting of this passage, but it is also an embarrassing situation for us. Possibly the dog cared either for us or cared for itself. Either way, it was not disturbing others.
This is the attitude we don’t have now. We only care about us. I’m not saying that is not good. We don’t care about other people. I would say that is bad. But while caring about us, we’re hurting others in one way or the other. Now that’s pathetic.
Finally, anything which not affects others and which gives you happiness is good. Even a smile which affects others is a sin. When will we people realize that?
