Woodcutter Story

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter ask for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it. The paid was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees

"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!"

Very motivated for the boss’ words, the woodcutter try harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees.Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.

"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked.

"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe.
I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."

Complete & Finish

No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words COMPLETE and FINISHED, in a way that's easy to understand.
Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED.

I beg to differ because, there is!!!

When you marry the right woman, you are "COMPLETE"..

And when you marry the wrong one, you are "FINISHED"!

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ...
"COMPLETELY FINISHED" !!

Allow The Boss To Speak First

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss
are on their way to a meeting.
On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.

The ghost says,
"Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three,
I will allow one wish each"

So the eager senior manager shouted,
"I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries."
Pufffff. and he was gone.
Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pufffff. and he was also gone.

The boss calmly said,
"I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm."

"ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"

Do not judge people..Story

Inspiring share for the day.                                           
                                                                           
    One truck driver was doing his usual load delivery at a mental         
    hospital, by parking his vehicle beside an open drain.                 
                                                                           
    He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to return from the mental 
    hospital. He jacked up the truck and removed the flat tyre to fix the 
    spare tyre.                                                           
                                                                           
    When he was about to fix the spare tyre, he accidentally dropped all   
    the 4 bolts in the open drain.                                         
                                                                           
    Just then, one patient happened to walk past him and asked the driver 
    as to why he was looking troubled.                                     
                                                                           
    The driver thought to himself, since there is nothing much he can do or
    this mental joker can. Just to keep the bugging away, the truck driver 
    informed the whole episode to the mental patient and gave a helpless   
    look.                                                                 
                                                                           
    The patient just laughed at the truck driver and said " you just cannot
    even fix such a simple problem? No wonder you are destined to remain a 
    truck driver for life".                                               
                                                                           
    The truck driver was astonished to hear such a compliment from a mental
    guy." Here is what you can do " said the mental guy                   
                                                                           
    "Take one bolt from each of the remaining 3 tyres/wheels and fix it on 
    to this tyre . Then drive down to the nearest workshop and replace the 
    missing ones. Is'nt it simple my friend ".                             
                                                                           
    The truck driver was so impressed with this quick fix answer and asked 
    the patient "how come you are so smart and intelligent and you are here
    at the mental hospital?"                                               
    The patient replied..." hello friend! I stay here because i am crazy   
    but not stupid".                                                       
                                                                           
    No wonder, there are some people, who behave like the Truck Driver,   
    thinking that others are just stupid. So, guys, though you all are     
    learned and wise, but, just watch out, there could be some CRAZY guys 
    in our professional / personal lives, who could give us lot of quick   
    fixes and brush our wisdom.                                           
                                                                           
    The moral of the story is - just do not conclude that you know         
    everything and do not judge people by mere looks/attire stature or     
    academic background.

Whom do u follow Donkey or Dog....?

Whom do u follow Donkey or Dog....?

Couldn’t resist forwarding...

Read this...and decide who is intelligent- Donkey or the DOG...

Read and think-You may find one in your midst

There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep too but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson.

The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly.

Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.

Moral of the story "One must not engage in duties other than his own"

Now take a new look at the same story...

The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fund as of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favourite pet.

The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dog's duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed "ME" (Met Expectations).

Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around.

The donkey was rated as "star performer". The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards. Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a NEW JOB ...!!!!

Cracked Pot

Cracked Pot

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, Perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. And miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my Flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw. So I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house?

Moral of the story:

Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life.  

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else"

A Message From Buddha

     Once Buddha was travelling with few of his followers, while passing a lake he asked one of his disciples to get some water from the lake for drinking. The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment a bullock cart crossed through the lake and the water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to my master?” so he came back and told Buddha, “The water is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.

     After about half an hour, Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get some water. The disciple went back and found that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed the same. After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back. This time the disciple found the mud had settle down and the water was clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

     Buddha looked at the water and said to his disciple, “See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be and the mud settle down on its own and you have clear water. Your mind is like that too. When it is disturbed or when you are angry, just let it be. give it a little time. it will settle down on its own. You didn’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.”

Having “Peace of Mind” is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process.
