Happy Weekend!!!

Hi all,

Gm..

Have a excellent weekend!!!

Motivational Thought!!!

She couldn't stop crying while taking a shower in the dirty tub of the hotel room she was staying at after she got fired from her first job.

The only agent in New York that would work with her left her.

Her own mother told her she had no talent and was throwing her life away.

Experienced agents told her because of her age, it was too late for her to start a career in show business.

She had no money and was living out of one suitcase and sleeping in her car.

Her office was a phone booth in Grand Central Station.

But she held on and never gave up.

Even after 31 years of hearing no from all those around her.

You know her today as Joan Rivers, the popular host of her very own Emmy Award winning TV talk show program.

Luv,

Viji.

A judge who was in a benevolent mood as he questioned the prisoner. "What are you charged with?" he asked.

"Doing my Christmas shopping early," replied the defendant".

"That's no offense." said the judge. "How early were you doing this shopping?".

"Before the store opened" countered the prisoner..

Law Of Opposites

Have you ever paid any attention to the idea that there are "two sides to everything?" Think of how often you have heard that.Look at your hand. It has a front and a back side. Your body has a right and a left side. The automobile or room you are in has an inside and an outside. You couldn't possibly have one without the other.

This is an orderly universe, of which you are a part. The whole universe is governed by laws.The law I am referring to today is the Law of Polarity or the Law of Opposites.

If it is a long way up to the top of a building, it must be a long way down. If it is a mile from point A to point B, it must be a mile from point B to point A. They are not only opposite, they are equal and opposite.

Everything that happens in your life today will either appear negative or positive. Keep in mind whatever happens must have a positive side to it.A large majority of the population seems to be mentally programmed to pay attention to the negative side of life and unfortunately, ignore the positive.

Make a decision right now that, regardless of what happens today, you are going to look for the positive aspect of what's happening. Remember... every cloud has a silver lining. Do this again tomorrow and the next day until it becomes a habit to see the positive in everything. You will feel better, you will be more productive, and you will have more friends.

Luv,

Viji.

Worth to Follow-- WE FORGET

We quickly forget the stranger whose smile lifted our spirits and helped us get through the day.

We nearly ignore the kind driver who provided us the courtesy of slowing their progress and waving us into their lane.

What would happen if we gave those moments pause? Thanked them silently? Extolled their virtues within ourselves?

Would we become more aware of other people just like them, who, let’s say, make our experience at stores more pleasant? Our phone conversations to customer service departments less stressful? Our meal at a restaurant more enjoyable?

There are so many people who are doing kind things every day. Yet, because there are also those who remind us of past disappointments, or because we are caught up in the chatter of our busy lives, we far too often fail to become an active witness to the thoughtful efforts that the every-day person puts forth.

Although it certainly would be nice if we could expect everyone to treat us with the politeness we desire, we need to recognize that every single person serving us, passing us, moving forward in the world with us; every single person, including us, has personal issues that sometimes interfere with their ability to be as positive as both we and they would prefer.

But if we make a point to NOTICE… If we take even the briefest moment to internally thank those whose attitudes are positive, encouraging, or helpful, a palpable change occurs. Like a refreshing breeze, it passes over us and wafts on to the next person, who is also in need of its restorative powers.

I want to notice. So, today, I am making a list of the many people who have used a funny quip to lighten my spirit at work. I am including those who have paused politely when I crossed the street as a pedestrian, or stood patiently while holding a door. Those who have created a television commercial that made me laugh, or written gentle stories of courage and hope. These kind souls are passing on what they are able. They are sharing the joy and thankfulness they feel today, and by doing so, are offering the same encouragement to us.

Today, I will mentally thank the world for all the little gifts I took for granted when they occurred. And, I am offering this little note as my apology for not noticing and embracing them, the moment they happened.

Tomorrow, I resolve to appreciate them AS they occur, and to pass them on to another!

Luv,

Viji.

Hi all,

Gm..

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

small words BIG thought!!!!

Do you ever get nervous if you have to speak in front of a group of people? Does your stomach tense? your breathing quicken? your pulse race? your hands tremble? These sensations prevented Carly Simon from performing live for years. However, other entertainers have discovered how to use them to their advantage. Bruce Springsteen, for instance, lables these exact same physical sensations as "excitement" and considers it a natural and positive part of his preparation to perform. These sensations remind him he's about to have the incredibly powerful experience of entertaining thousands of people. For him, a quickened pulse is not an enemy; it's an ally.

The next time you know you'll be the center of attention, maybe it's time you appreciated this adrenaline rush as excitement rather than fear.

A Riddle

Four Gallon Puzzle

This is a classic you may have read about before. You are next to a pond, and for whatever reason (okay, I forgot the reason) you need to have exactly four gallons of water in your bucket. The problem is that you have a bucket that holds exactly three gallons, and one that holds exactly five gallons, and they have no marks for lesser amounts.

Can you think of a fast efficient way to measure out exactly four gallons of water?

Answer at the End!

Fact to know!! - All abt Potato...

A study done at the University of Toronto found that you can get a temporary brainpower boost from mashed potatoes. Specifically, those tested had a 32 percent improvement in short-term memory when tested shortly afterwards. It is assumed that this is due to the easy conversion of the potatoes to glucose, which is the brain's primary energy source.

Riddle Answer: Fill the three-gallon bucket, pour it into the five-gallon one, then fill the small one again. This time when you pour the water into the larger one, there will only be space for two more gallons (3+2 = 5), so one gallon will remain. Dump out the five-gallon bucket and pour the gallon of water into it. Now just fill the three-gallon one again and add it to the gallon in the larger bucket. You'll have exactly four gallons.

Nothing but FUN!!..

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says, 'We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!'

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.

St. Peter chains them together and says, 'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!'

The next day, the second woman accidentally steps on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says, 'I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?'

The guy says, 'I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!'

Luv,

Viji.

Gift a tree - to your friend to this world

Here's is an interesting bit of news. Our friends Anilkumar and Ashwin have launched a commendable new 'GREEN' venture. They are into planting saplings. But the new concept they have launched is 'Gift a tree'.

Instead of gifting the regular bunch of flowers you can now gift a tree which is a much more enduring gift. To go with it they have a Green greeting card. The scheme is at present limited to Mysore and Bangalore cities. Their company 'Enlen' is part of the UNEP 'Billion Tree' campaign.

Hi all,

Gm..

Have a great day ahead!!!!

small words BIG thought!!!

If you don't have anything good to say about someone, it's best not to say anything at all.

Word of mouth tends to circulate extremely quickly when it comes to bad qualities of a person and it always ends up in the ears of that person
one way or another.

It also tends to trace itself back to the source extremely quickly as well.

The tension, the grudges, the ill will - it's not worth it.

Your emotional energy is better spent elsewhere.

Fact !!!!

The human liver performs over 500 functions.

Liver Trivia

The biggest organ in our bodies, is the liver. Technically, the skin is a human's largest organ, but it's on the outside of things.

Inner Man is protected and kept ticking along by more than 500 functions performed by this multi-purpose organ. Perhaps its biggest and most onerous duty, is that of filtering out impurities and contaminants. As blood carrying the contents processed by the stomach and intestines wends its way through the liver, it's purified and returned to the body. Waste is then eliminated.

Among its many other roles, the liver produces proteins and vitamins, controls glucose, controls fat storage, regulates elements of blood clotting, aids digestion, manufactures bile, turns out hormones, renders some poisons harmless, processes drugs, and manufactures cholesterol.

The liver is also the only organ in our body, which can be partially removed, and still function at a level to keep a human healthy. In fact, the liver re-grows itself over several months, depending on how much was removed. While most organ donations are the result of someone else having died, it is now possible for relatives to donate portions of their liver to a close relative, after which their own will re-grow.

Luv,
Viji.

Worth a TRY!!!

Broken connection?
Something happened in the past and it wasn't pleasant. Heavy words were exchanged, a friendship broke up, and we lost contact with people we are now missing. Broken connections are a tragic fact of our fast-moving life. But whatever the reason for the breakup, these connections can be repaired. Maybe not all of them, but we should not resign; we should give it a try. Don't forget that time is a healer. And modern technology makes it easier than ever for us to reconnect.

A friendly e-mail that communicates that you would like to reconnect is just one idea. Or you could send an unexpected birthday card to the other party. Or depending on the situation, you could even make a phone call addressing the issue in positive, conciliatory words, or use friends in common to convey a message. I am sure you can think of many other ways, once you've made the decision to try. But what if it doesn't work? Then you can pat yourself on the back and be proud that you tried. And then just let go.

Wouldn't it be nice to reconnect with someone? Have the courage to try it!

Luv,

Viji.
