management thoughts

Story # 2

It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.

Fox: "What are you working on?"Rabbit: "My thesis." Fox: "Hmm... What is it about?"Rabbit: "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes."
Fox: "That's ridiculous ! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes! Rabbit: "Come with me and I'll show you!"
They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to his typewriter and resumes typing.
Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.
Wolf: "What's that you are writing?"Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves."
Wolf: "you don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?"Rabbit: "No problem. Do you want to see why?"
The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing. Finally a bear comes along and asks, "What are you doing?
Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat bears."Bear: "Well that's absurd!"
Rabbit: "Come into my home and I'll show you"
Scene : As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to the lion.

Moral:IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS TOPIC IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHOM YOU HAVE AS A SUPERVISOR.

Managment thoughts


Here is some of the finest, funniest management thoughts, if you ponder over it you may understand how important it is:-
Story number 1:-

It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a lion is sitting outside his cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.
Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"
Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and your big claws will only destroy it even more."Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"
Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great claws cannot fix complicated watches"Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"
The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself. Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.
Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you" Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"
The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.
Scene :Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.


Moral :IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A MANAGER IS FAMOUS; LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.

Todays ILLUSION


You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
when you look through ME you will see YOU!
Do you need to look again?









This one is quite tricky!

The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.









You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical,
the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again!
Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?













In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil )





Read aloud the sentence! Could you read correctly?

More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........ if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice!

Sorry, look again.

Friends

There's nothing like a friend to help you out when times are tough... And this mouse found himself an unlikely ally when floodwaters devastated parts of northern India.
He hitched a ride to safety on the back of a friendly frog which ferried him back to the bank when the mouse was swept into a swollen river near Lucknow, the state capital of Uttar Pradesh.

Difficulties for reward

Face obstacles graciously for reward.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on aRoadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see ifAnyone would remove the huge rock.

Some of the King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came byAnd simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed theKing for not keeping! The roads clear, but none did Anything about getting the stone out of the way.


Then a peasant came along carrying a load ofVegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, thePeasant laid down his burden and tried to move theStone to the side of the road.


After much pushing And straining, he finally succeeded. After thePeasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticedA purse lying in the road where the boulder had Been.

The purse contained many gold coins and a noteFrom the King indicating that the gold was for thePerson who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The Peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Moral:-
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve Our condition.

The Wisdom of Alexander the Great


There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king.

Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.

He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit Him to reach his distant homeland. So, The mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon,

I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down Their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.


" My first desire is that," said Alexander, " My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued, " Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury.


" The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin ."


The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dare bring the question to their lips. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. " O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled.


But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"

At this Alexander took a deep breath and said: " I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body .

They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted .


The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell
People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth .


And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world ."With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . . .

This story portraits the reality of life, we born empty handedly and leaving empty handedly, in-between why these kinds of wars, hatred, jealousy, enimity, ego, and so on

Let us learn, at least some wisdom from The Alexander the Great.

Joke for the day- Silent type



creativity



I am seeing for the first time this kind of floating beds, this seems to be a creative and unique bed, as it may provide the happiness of swinging and the comforts of a bed, which is above the ground level.. Reminds of the OONJAL in the villages, but with more comfort.
Wow, that's great.

Nature's gift




Truely these colourful birds are Nature's gift.
