Innocent questions need your attention - DONT MISS IT

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"


DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.


SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs..100 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.

Looking up, he said,

"Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,

then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started
to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,"said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.


The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?


Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."


Lesson to learn from Heart Touching Story:



But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.



.. Thin k PRACTICALLY

WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?


This is a true story that happened in Japan .

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.


He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.. !


What happened?

The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!

In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.


Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years! Without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.

Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard that was stuck by nail; another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years...


Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

Think, will u do that to your partner?

Think that will you do it to your Mom, who brought you after a big struggle of nine long months?


Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, brothers and Sisters?

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.

As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster.


But the distance between human beings . .. . is it getting closer as well?

Please never abandon your loved ones

Never Say U R Busy When They Really Need You...


You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet......

But You Might Be The Only World To Them....

A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loves you thru all odds....

Before you say something just remember. It takes a moment to Break but an entire life to make...

To Live Use Heart and to Survive use Brains.

Then Life would be a paradise Unfurling only Love Joy and Happiness....

Watermelon & Eggs - ARTS

These are truly incredible. You'll love the watermelons, but you'll be blown away by the eggs!













These egg shells were cut with a high intensity precision Laser Beam. This gives a very good idea of what can be achieved with a Laser Beam. From this can be surmised what laser surgery performed on one's eye is all about. Is it any wonder how one's vision can be improved in just a few moments? Science is sometimes wonderful, and it's still on the frontier of gaining new knowledge.


Incredible what can be done with an eggshell and a laser beam.

Beautiful Flowers

Difference between lateral And logical thinking

Many years ago in a small village,

A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.
 
The Moneylender, 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.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field.. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?

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.

A good Thought - FAMILY

A good Thought

                                    F A M I L Y


   I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
    "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.


        He said, "Please excuse me too;
        I wasn't watching for you."


                 We were very polite, this stranger and I.
                  We went on our way and we said goodbye.


                  But at home a different story is told,
                How we treat our loved ones, young and old.


                 Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
                    My son stood beside me very still.


                 When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
                "Move out of the way," I said with a frown.


                 He walked away, his little heart broken.
                 I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.


                         While I lay awake in bed,
               God's still small voice came to me and said,


                      "While dealing with a stranger,
                         common courtesy you use,
                but the family you love, you seem to abuse.


                     Go and look on the kitchen floor,
                You'll find some flowers there by the door.


                 Those are the flowers he brought for you.
              He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.


             He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
           you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."


                     By this time, I felt very small,
                      And now my tears began to fall.


                   I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
                  "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.


                "Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
                 He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.


               I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
               I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."


          I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
                 I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
                      He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
                            I love you anyway."


                       I said, "Son, I love you too,
             and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."


                                  FAMILY
            Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
            that we are working for could easily replace us in
                             a matter of days.
             But the family we left behind will feel the loss
                       for the rest of their lives.


              And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
                    into work than into our own family,
                       an unwise investment indeed,
                             don't you think?
                       So what is behind the story?



                  Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
     FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
