ANONYMOUS
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have
promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going
on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.
His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office early
today. The Scientist started working. He continued his work after
lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his
watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 p.m.
Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children.
He looked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the
morning itself, he closed everything and left for home.
He reached home. Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting
in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any
talk would boomerang on him.
His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I
straight away serve dinner if you are hungry.
The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, I too will have
but what about Children???
Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and has
taken the children to the exhibition.
What had really happened was The boss who granted him permission was
observing him working seriously at 5.00 p.m.He thought to himself, this
person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children
they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in
taking them to exhibition
The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it is done,
loyalty is established.
By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was????????

Wisdom from Grandpa ..
# Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt,
that he forgets his sugar.
# Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
# When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when
they try to decide which one.
# On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the
present.
# The bonds of matrimony are a good investment, only when the interest is
kept up.
# Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds,
and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.
# The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
# Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to
know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads
weren't paved.
# How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
# When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth....
Remember about Algebra.
# I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
# Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they
don't recognize you.
# If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh
at when you are old.

THE
SEVEN
WONDERS OF THE
WORLD
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present
"Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements,
the following received the most votes:
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student
had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if
she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied,
"Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind
because there were so many."
1. To See 2. To Hear
3. To Touch 4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. And to Love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that
we take for granted are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder --
that the most precious things in life
cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

LOVE YOUR JOB, BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY B'COZ U NEVER KNOW
WHEN COMPANY STOPS LOVING YOU
Narayana Murthy (Chairman of Infosys)
There are things managers can do to change this for everyone's benefit.
Being in the office long hours, over long periods of time, makes way for
potential errors. My colleagues who are in the office long hours frequently
make mistakes caused by fatigue. Correcting these mistakes requires their
time as well as the time and energy of others. I have seen people work
Tuesday through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5 PM on Monday.
Another problem is that people who are in the office long hours are not
pleasant company. They often complain about other people (who aren't working
as hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry. Other people avoid
them. Such behavior poses problems, where work goes much better when people
work together instead of avoiding one another.
As Managers, there are things we can do to help people leave the office.
First and foremost is to set the example and go home ourselves. I work with
a manager who chides people for working long hours. His words quickly lose
their meaning when he sends these chiding groups e-mails with a time-stamp
of 2 AM, Sunday. Second is to encourage people to put some balance in their
lives.
He would fight off sleep until the visitors left. It was as if he was afraid
that he would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he would go to sleep.
By this time, however, he was over tired and would scream through half the
night with nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all paid the price for his fear
of missing out.
Perhaps some people put in such long hours because they don't want to miss
anything when they leave the office. The trouble with this is that events
will never stop happening. That is life!! Things happen 24 hours a day.
Allowing for little rest is not ultimately practical. So, take a nap. Things
will happen while you're asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up
when you wake.
Hence "LOVE YOUR JOB BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY"
