Three Important things In Life

3-minute management

Lesson 1:
>
> A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
> shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself 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.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and
> stands n*k*d in front of Bob.
>
> After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
>
> The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she
> gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, '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 with
> your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent
> avoidable exposure.
>
>
> Lesson 2:
>
> A priest offered a Nun a lift.
>
> She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The
> priest nearly had an accident.
>
> After controlling the car , he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
>
> The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand.
>
> But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
>
> The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
>
> The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving
> at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
>
> On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
>
> It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
>
> Moral of the story:
> If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great
opportunity
>
>
> 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.
> The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
>
> 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the
> Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
>
> Puff! She's gone.
> ' 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.'
>
> Puff! 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.
>
> Lesson 4
>
> An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
>
> A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you
> and do nothing?'
>
> The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
>
> So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle 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.
>
> 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 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, the turkey was proudly perched at the
> top of the tree.
>
> He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
>
> Moral of the story:
>
> Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
>
> Lesson 6
>
> A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
> froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was
> lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
>
> As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to
> realize how warm he 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!

Innocent love

I have had this before a couple of times - but still brings tears to my eyes - also I think the impact can very depending on what is happening in your life when you receive this I'D LIKE THIS BACK IF IT APPLIES A little girl went To her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three Times, even The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she Slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with The big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for The pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat With the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good Finally she took a Quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! 'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of Voice. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages,' he Said without waiting for a reply to his question. 'Well, I want to talk To you about my brother,' Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. 'He's Really, really sick...and I want to buy a miracle.' 'I beg your pardon?' Said the pharmacist. 'His name is Andrew and he has something bad Growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now So how Much does a miracle cost?' 'We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you,' the pharmacist said, softening a little. 'Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get The rest. Just tell me ho w much it costs.' The pharmacist's brother was A well dressed man He stooped down and asked the little girl, 'What kind of a Miracle does your brother need?' ' I don't know,' Tess replied with her Eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an Operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.' 'How much do you have?' asked the man from Chicago 'One dollar And eleven cents,' Tess answered barely audibly. 'And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.' 'Well, what a Coincidence,' smiled the man. 'A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a Miracle for little brothers. ' He took her money in one hand and with The other hand he grasped her mitten and said 'Take me to where you live. I want To see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you Need.' That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, Specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it Wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were Happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. 'That surgery,' her Mom whispered. 'was a real miracle. I wonder how Much it would have cost?' Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a Miracle cost..one dollar and eleven cents....plus the faith of a little child. In our lives, we never know how many miracles we will need. A Miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law. I know you'll keep the ball moving! Here it goes. Throw it back to Someone who means something to you!

Anybody can grow older. ......

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?' I laughed and enthusiastically responded,

'Of course you may!'
and she gave me a giant squeeze.

'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?'
I asked.

She jokingly replied,
'I'm here to meet a rich husband,
get married, and have a couple of kids...'

'No seriously,' I asked.
I was curious what may have motivated her
to be taking on this challenge at her age.

'I always dreamed of having
a college education!
and now I'm getting one!' she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.

We became instant friends.
Every day for the next three months
we would leave class together and talk nonstop.
I was always mesmerized listening
to this 'time machine' as she shared
her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year,
Rose became a campus icon
and she easily made friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and she revelled
in the attention bestowed upon her
from the other students.
She was living it up.

At! the end of the semester we invited Rose
to speak at our football banquet.

I'll never forget what she taught us..
She was introduced
and stepped up to the podium.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech,
she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed
she leaned into the microphone
and simply said,
'I'm sorry I'm so jittery.
I gave up beer for Lent
and this whiskey is killing me! !
I'll never get my speech back in order
so let me just tell you what I know.'

As we laughed she cleared her throat
and began,
'We do not stop playing because we are old;
we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young,
being happy, and achieving success.
You have to laugh and find humour every day.
You've got to have a dream.
When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around
who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between
growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed
for one full year and don't do one productive
thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed
for a year and never do anything
I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older.
That doesn't take any talent or ability.
The idea is to grow up by always finding
opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets
for what we did,
but rather for things we did not do.
The only people who fear death
are those with regrets.'

She concluded her speech
by courageously singing
'The Rose.'

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics
and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation
Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students
attended her funeral in tribute
to the wonderful woman
who taught by example
that it's never too late
to be all you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this,
please send this peaceful word of advice
to your friends and family,
they'll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along
in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER,
GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get,
We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing,
not a calm passage.
If God brings you to it,
He, will bring you through it.

Pass this message to all except you and me.

If you choose not,
then you refuse to bless someone else.

'Good friends are like stars...
You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there.' _,_._,___

Everyone needs few nice words....say it now

One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

Several years later, one of the students was killed in

"Kargil" war and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never attended Funeral of a serviceman before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The place was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk. The teacher was the last one to bless .

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Sanjay's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Sanjay talked about you a lot."

After the funeral, most of Sanjay's former classmates were there. Sanjay's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket "They found this on Sanjay when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times... The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Sanjay's classmates had said about him.

"Thank you so much for doing that," Sanjay's mother said. "As you can see, Sanjay treasured it."

All of Sanjay's former classmates started to gather around. Arjun smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

Prithwiraj's wife said, " Prithwiraj asked me to put his in our wedding album...."

"I have mine too," Rashmi said. "It's in my diary"

Then Deepali, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times," Deepali said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists"

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Sanjay and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late...

And One Way To Accomplish This Is: Forward this message on. If you do not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful. But its upto U to fwd this one.

If you've received this, it is because someone cares for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care.

If you're "too busy" to take those few minutes right now to forward this message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn't do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships?

The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching out to those you care about..

Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

May Your Day Be Blessed As Special As You !!!

Boy who wanted to meet GOD

Subject: Boy who wanted to meet GOD



There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a
long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with cupcakes,
several cans of root beer and started on his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he saw an elderly woman. She was
sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons. The boy sat down next to
her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his
root beer when he noticed the lady looked hungry so he offered her a
cupcake. She gratefully accepted and smiled at him.

Her smile was so wonderful that he wanted to see it again, so he
offered a root beer as well. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was
delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling without saying a word.

As it began to grow dark, the boy realized how tired he was and wanted
to go home. He got up to leave but before he had gone no more than a
few steps, he turned around and ran back to the old woman, giving her
a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy arrived home his Mother was surprised by the look of joy
on his face. She asked, What has made you so happy today He replied, I
had lunch with God. Before his mother could respond he added, You know
what She’s got the most beautiful smile in the whole world!

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.
Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face. He asked,
Mother, what has made you so happy today She replied, I ate cupcakes
in the park with God. And before her son could reply, she added, You
know, he is much younger than I expected.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring;
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Take
no one for granted and embrace all equally with joy!
