Awaiting Dreams

Who needs to feel that way
Who needs those words to say
Who wants to give their heart
To watch love fade away
Cause I made up my mind
I didnt wanna know
Why should i find a love
That isnt here to stay


I wasnt waiting until you came along
And now i need you to tell me
where my heart belongs


I've seen the tears they cry
When its time for goodbye
I didnt wanna be the one who's asking why


I didnt think that i would ever feel so strong
but now i know that i was wrong

Vision is all that matters!!!

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections.

However, the ache persisted with great vigour than before. At last a monk who has supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he should concentrate only on green colours and not to fall his eyes on any other colours. The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted in green colour just as the monk had directed.

When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other colour and his eye ache would come back.

Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune. You cannot paint the world green." Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first. Lets change our vision..!!

A Women's poem


He didn't like the curry

And he didn't like my cake

He said my buiscuits were too hard...

Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't prepare the coffee right

He didn't like the stew,

I didn't mend his socks

The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer

I was a looking for a clue.

Isn't there anything I could do

To match his mother's shoe?

Then I smiled as I saw light

One thing I could definitely do

I turned around and slapped him hard...


As his mother used too!!! :)


The best years of my life.............................

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his audience.
Said he: "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!"

The audience was in silence and shock.

The speaker added: "And that woman was my mother!"
Laughter and applause.

A week later, a top manager trained by the motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke at home. He was a bit foggy after a drink.

He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"
The wife went wan with shock and rage.

Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurt out

A beautiful poem I read...

Old fashioned movies
With true love to gain
Always remember romance
And kiss in the rain.

The only thing you have
Is the hope of his kiss
And waiting for the day
Is all that you miss

In love, in romance
Looking into his eyes
Is all you want to do
No time for any lies

So send him a text
Drop him a line
And maybe one day
He’ll take the time

He’ll fall for you
And never look back
Your life will be bright
No time for dark, no black

I hope he’s always there
To take away my pain
And to remember romance
And to kiss in the rain

Ohhhhh....guys hold on!!! It's not written by me. This one's written by Lottie Hammond. I loved it...so I put it here.

What should I do to marry a rich guy?

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?


I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden (?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've
met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty


Awesome reply:


Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same
goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do
contact me…

Signed,
J.P. Morgan

Which's better, the former or the latter???



Parents used to give us Rs. 20/- per month,
in that we were not only able to eat stomachs fill, but we were able to save too!!!
Now we earn a sum of 20K, we have no idea where it goes, let alone saving it!!
Which's better, the former or the latter???



6 subjects per year, 6 different teachers!
One project since we joined and just one manager!!
Which's better, the former or the latter???



We used to make notes; we used to study for ranks!!
Now we scan thru our mails; we struggle for our ratings!!!
Which's better, the former or the latter???

We have still not forgotten the people in the next section!!!
Now we don't even know who sits in the next cubicle!!!
Which's better, the former or the latter???

After getting back from a tiring play, we used to do our home work!!
Now who knows/cares about home; all we do is just work!!!
Which's better, the former or the latter???



We knew our history and economics!!
Now let alone reading books, we don't even catch up with the daily news!!!
Which's better, the former or the latter???



We had an aim in life; behind our backs we had our teachers!!
Now we have no idea about the future nor do we find any one who would tell us anything!!!

Which's better, the former or the latter???

HOW TO STAY AWAKE IN MEETINGS: (OFFERED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE)


Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good
size. Divide the card into columns - five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
* synerg
y /
* strategic fit
/

* core competences / * expeditious
* to tell you the truth (or "the truth is")
* 24/7
* out of the loop
* benchmark
* value-added
* proactive
* win-win
* think outside the box
* fast track
* result-driven
* empower (or empowerment)
* knowledge base
* at the end of the day
* touch base
* mindset
* client focus(ed)
* paradigm
* game plan
* leverage

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"



Testimonials from satisfied "Bullshit Bingo" players:

"I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won." - Adam, Atlanta

"My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically." - David, Florida

"What a gas! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first win." - Dan, New York City

"The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us waited for the fifth box." - Ben, Denver

"The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed 'BULLSHIT!' for the third time in two hours." - Paul, Cleveland

Rajini ji...


Oh!!!! guys hold on...I am not a die-hard Rajnikant fan. Well, its not that I don't like him but Iam not the one who can't look beyond him-the actor re. I put it here coz it's quite amusing. I know he is quite a rage down south but I really didn't know people could go to such limits. For once tell me how can you compare him to a weapon of mass destruction..constructive I can believe but destructive??? Well, its a pun..intended or unintended only the author can say. For now just read this and have fun.

And...for those who have always read serious stuff on this blog...its time for a change. Fortunate for some, unfortunate for others :( Hey! the fact is I can't be that motivating.. (for once I am not fat and I hate waiting ... hehe...lolz..) That's the reason I cannot be motivating ;)

Enhancing Relationships...

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call.She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB.Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose
number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me our secret?" The
father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticise your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he
would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.


CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable
one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing
and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when
I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you
need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the
faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that
marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.


NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..


RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off
because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily!
Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.
Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he
will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.


PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On
the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no
gentleman."

The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey.Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell
into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will
be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear...



BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck.The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with
someone u love. Trucks can be repaired... Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognise the difference between
the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Put the glass down !!!........................

Once A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.

He held it up for all to see; asked the students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?

'50gms!' ?....'100gms!' .....'125gms' ......the students answered.




'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my
question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'

"Nothing" the students said.



OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the
professor asked.

Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.

You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?' Your arm
could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis; have to
go to hospital for sure! ventured another student ; all the students
laughed.



Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?

Asked the professor. No replied the students Then what caused the arm
ache; the muscle stress?' Instead What should I do?

The students were puzzled. Put the glass down! said one of the
students.

Exactly!' said the professor' Life's problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK. Think of them for
a long time; they begin to ache. Hold it even longer; they begin to
paralyze you.



You will not be able to do anything.



It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before
you go to sleep.

That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh; strong;
can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

Remember friend- PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!



That's life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy life ..... monkey style .. ;)

I love you

I love you…
not only for what you are
but for what i am
when i am with you

i love you
not only for what
you have made of yourself
but for what
you are making of me

i love you because
you are helping me to make
of the lumber of my life
not a tavern
but a temple of
my everyday, not a reproach
but a song

i love you
for the part of me
that you bring out

i love you
for putting your hand
into my heaped-up heart
and passing over
all those foolish weak things
that you can not help
dimly seing there
and for drawing out
into the light
all the beautiful belongings
that no one else has hooked
quite far enough to find

i love you
because you have done
more than any creed
could have done
to make me good
and more than any fate
could have done
to make me happy

you have done it,
without a touch
without a word
without a sign
you have done it
by being yourself

perhaps that is what
being a friend
means after all.
