As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
“ Well,” he said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

1. At least 5 people in this world
love you so much they would
die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness
to anyone, even if they don’t like you.

5. Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you don’t know
even exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look:
You most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want,
you probably won’t get it, but if you believe in yourself,
you probably sooner or later will get it.

13. Always remember compliments you received.
Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them;
you will fell much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend,
take the time to let them
know that they’re great.

A hypothetical situation where 20 executives board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft.Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company’s software is running the aircraft’s automatic pilot system. Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.

One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed.Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies:
“If it’s the same software that runs my company’s IT systems, this plane won’t even take off”

This is called Confidence!

Have you ever wondered about the system used for naming hurricanes? Where did those names come from, anyway? Will we have to suffer through another “Hurricane Andrew”? The system is not that complicated.
Hurricanes used to be designated by a system of latitude-longitude, which was a great way for meteorologists to track them. However, once the public began receiving storm warnings and trying to keep track of a particular storm path, this got very confusing. A system of names to refer to them was much easier to track and remember.

In 1953, the National Weather Service picked up on the habit of Naval meteorologists of naming the storms after women. Ships were always referred to as female, and were often given women’s names. The storms’ temperament certainly seemed female enough, shifting directions at a whim on a moment’s notice. In 1979, male names were inserted to alternate with the female names,to the delight of women’s-libbers everywhere.

There are actually six lists of names in use for storms in the Atlantic. These lists rotate, one each year; the list of this year’s names will not be reused until 2011. The names get recycled each time the list comes up, with one exception: storms so devastating that reusing the name is inappropriate. In this case, the name is taken off the list and another name is used to replace it; there will not be another Hurricane Andrew, because Andrew has been replace by Alex on the list. Although it will not be an issue for five more years, the names of Frances, Ivan and Jeanne will probably go into the history books in 2010.

A storm must start as a Tropical Depression and move on to become a Tropical Storm before it is given a name. Once a storm is named, preparations for the possible hurricane should be well under way. Without further ado, here is the list of hurricane names for 2005:

Arlene
Bret
Cindy
Dennis
Emily
Franklin
Gert
Harvey
Irene
Jose
Katrina
Lee
Maria
Nate
Ophelia
Phillipe
Rita
Stan
Tammy
Vince
Wilma

One question I’ve heard a lot recently is “What happens if we run out of hurricane names?” If we’re unlucky enough to deplete the year’s supply of names we won’t, contrary to popular opinion, simply start using names from next year’s list. In that case, the National Hurricane Center will turn to the Greek alphabet and we’ll have Hurricanes Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, etc.

Does your Company have a problem in recruiting the
right person for the right chair? If yes, try this
simple experiment.

Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a
closed room with an open window. Then send 2-3
candidates into the room and close it from outside.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then
analyze the situation:

If they are counting and recounting the number of
bricks – PUT THEM IN ACCOUNTS DEPT.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks
PUT THEM IN ENGINEERING.

If they are arranging the bricks in some other order –
PUT THEM IN PLANNING.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other –
PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.

If they are sleeping –
PUT THEM IN SECURITY.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces –
PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

If they are sitting idle –
PUT THEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT.

If they have thrown the bricks out of the window –
PUT THEM IN THE MATERIALS DEPT.

If they are clinging onto the bricks –
PUT THEM IN TREASURY.

If they say they have tried different combinations,
yet not a brick has moved –
PUT THEM IN SALES.

If they have already left for the day –
PUT THEM IN MARKETING.

If they are staring out of the window –
PUT THEM IN THE EXPORT.

AND last but not least……….

If they are talking to each other and not a brick has
moved – PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT

One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the country
with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.

They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family.
“Son, How was the trip?”, father asked after the trip.
“Very good Dad!”

“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Yeah!”, the son smiled.

“And what did you learn?”
The son answered,

“I saw that we have a dog at home,
and they have four……

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden,
they have a creek that has no end…..

We have imported lamps in the garden,
they have the stars….

Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon.”

When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!”
