Another Corporate Lesson - Short Story

In a poor zoo of India , a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg meat a day. The lion thought its prayers were answered when one US Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to the US Zoo.

The lion was so happy and started thinking of a centrally air-conditioned environment, a goat or two every day and a US Green Card as well.

On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained a few bananas. Then the lion thought that may be they cared too Much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India .

The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered.

The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted him, Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with your management? What nonsense is this? Why are you delivering bananas to me?'

The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle but... the delivery of food is according to your documents.

What do you mean? The lion roared fiercely.

Did you know that you have been brought here on a monkey's visa!!!

Moral of the story:

Better to be a Lion in India rather than a Monkey elsewhere!

Corporate Lesson - Short Story

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called The family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test you could perform to give me a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet
away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response. "

That evening, the wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So he moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats,"Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response so; he walks up to the kitchen door,about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response.So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

"James, for the fifth time I've said, CHICKEN!"

The problem may not be with the other one as we always think. It could be very much within us..!

Wanna be a millionaire ? "Sell Tomato"

A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

'You are employed' he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.

The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.

'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.
Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email. The man replied,'I don't have an email.' The broker answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'

Moral of the story :

Moral 1 Internet is not the solution to your life.
Moral 2 If you don't have Internet, but work hard, you can be a millionaire.
Moral 3 If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy/girl, than a millionaire..........

THIS IS HOW WE MISS OUT SOMETHING CALLED "LIFE"

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died.

The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.



QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?





ANSWER :
The husband just said "I am with you Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step". Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are
actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

This story is really worth reading. ..... Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship,
in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out something called L.I.F.E

I Love My Mom - Do you ? Happy Mothers Day SMS (Short Message Story)

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom? "Because I'm a woman," she told him."I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will, but that's O.K.".......Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?"."All women cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say......

The little boy grew up and became a man,still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily? "GOD answered......"When I made woman,I decided she had to be special. I made her shouldersstrong enough to carrythe weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort...I gave her the inner strengthto endure childbirthand the rejection that many times will comeeven from her own children.

I gave her a hardnessthat allows herto keep going and take careof her family and friends,even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue withoutcomplaining....I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and allcircumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly....She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better andto quell a teenager's anxieties and fears....

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faultsand I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart....

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, butsometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside himunfalteringly....For all of this hard work,

I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to usewhenever needed and !it is her only weakness....When you see her cry,tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even thoughshe may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.

She is special!

A Mother Love - Mothers Day Special Story

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was make Dinner,
and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $ 5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $ 5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $ 2.00
Total owed: $ 14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the 9-months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:

No Charge. For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years:

No Charge. For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:

No Charge. For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:

No Charge.Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:

No Charge.. When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".

Advice:IF your mom is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness.
If she is far away, call her.
If she has passed away, pray for her.
so say your mother, u love her and u care her, and ask her for forgiveness if u hurt her.
