Happiness is just filled in, check your pass book:

- Happiness in Life:

She married him today. At the end of the wedding party, her mother gave her a newly opened bank

savings passbook, with Rs.10000 deposited in it. She told her, "My dear daughter, take this passbook.

Keep it as a record of your married life.

Whenever something happy and memorable happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down

what it's about next to the amount. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in.

I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with your husband.

When you look back after many years, you will know how much happiness you've both shared.'

She shared this with him after getting home. Both of them thought it was a

great idea and couldn't wait to make the next deposit!

This is what the passbook looked like after a while: -

7Feb: 1000, his first birthday celebration after marriage

1 Mar: 3000, she gets a salary raise

20 Mar: 2000, vacation

15 Apr: 20000, She's pregnant!

1 Jun: 2000, He gets the big promotion and so on...

However, as the years went by, they began fighting and arguing over trivial things. They didn't talk much.

They regretted that they had married the most nasty person in the world. There was no more love.

One day she talked to her Mother. 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We have decided to divorce. I can't

imagine how I decided to marry this guy!'

Her mother replied, 'Sure, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want, if you really can't stand it.

But before that, do one thing remember the savings passbook I gave you on your wedding day?

Take out all money and spend it first.You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor

marriage.'

She agreed with her mother. So she went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account.

While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked.

Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to her. Her eyes were filled with tears.

She left and went home. When she got home, she handed the passbook to her hubby and asked him to

spend the money before getting divorced. So the next day, he went to the bank, and was waiting in the

queue to cancel the account. While he was waiting, he took a look at the passbook record. He looked,

and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to him. His eyes

were filled with tears.

He left and went home. He gave the passbook back to her. She found a new deposit of 50000. And a line

next to the record: 'This is the day I realized how much I've loved you throughout all these years. How much

happiness you've brought me.' They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back into the safe.0

Marriage is not a game, it's not easy but it's beautiful. You will fight and argue, this is normal, because

the both of you came from different background, different homes and you both were raised by

different parents, beliefs and moral. So you cannot expect that everything you say will be accepted by your spouse without their opinion being tendered first. So before you give up, think back to the good times

and to what brought you together in the first place.

Trust you all will like it?

The Bridge of "Sorry":

- The Closed Door and a Quiet "Sorry" A story to remind us the power of sorry: Raj had left his charger bag in the training building earlier. Returning late, he found the main door locked. He knocked repeatedly. Finally, the caretaker, a stern Mr. Verma, opened it, his face tight with annoyance. "What's the commotion?" Mr. Verma grumbled, glancing past Raj at another resident, Ravi, who had been startled by the loud knocking. He'd assumed Raj was trying to barge in. " Mr. Verma, I'm so sorry, " Raj said quickly, his voice sincere. "I didn't mean to disturb anyone with the late knocking." Instantly, Mr. Verma's expression softened. The annoyance faded. "Ah, it's you, Raj. No worries, son. For a moment, I thought you were just being inconsiderate. But that 'sorry'… it makes all the difference, eh?" He offered a small smile, the tension gone. Ravi nodded in agreement. Raj retrieved his bag, the brief moment...

Successful people don’t search for ‘Job’ but they work:

- Power of saying *YES* Cape Town's uneducated surgeon Mr. Hamilton, was awarded an honorary degree of Master of Medicine; but, he could neither read nor write - he was illiterate. Let's examine how this was possible. Cape Town Medical University is a leading university in the medical world. The world's first heart-bypass operation took place at this university. The honorary degree of Master of Medicine, was awarded to someone who had never seen the inside of a school, in his life. He could neither read an English word nor write ..... But one morning in 2003, world-renowned surgeon Professor David Dent announced in the university auditorium: "Today we are awarding an honorary degree in medicine to the man who produced the most surgeons in the world". He is an extraordinary teacher, an amazing surgeon and studied medical science and surprised the human mind. With this announcement, the professor said the name: "Hamilton" and the entire auditorium stood-up...

A Different Kind of Smart: Nokia's Wary Approach to the Android Ecosystem:

- Beyond the Simple Narrative: Why Nokia's Android Dilemma Was More Than Just Stubbornness For years, the narrative surrounding Nokia's dramatic fall from mobile phone titan has been simplified to a single, damning sentence: "They should have just switched to Android." While seemingly straightforward in hindsight, this perspective overlooks the complex strategic considerations and valid concerns that likely influenced Nokia's fateful decisions. Diving deeper reveals a story where data privacy and the perceived potential of their own ecosystem played significant roles in their hesitation. The mid-to-late 2000s witnessed a seismic shift in the mobile landscape with the arrival of the iPhone and the burgeoning Android platform. While Apple's sleek design and intuitive software captured consumer hearts, Android, with its open-source nature and Google's backing, quickly gained momentum. Nokia, the reigning champion of the feature phone era, found itself at a c...

Open the taps of giving. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.

- I had heard of *Dead Sea* in school. No one ever told me this side of the story. You may find it interesting. *A tale of Two Seas!!* As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea. It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as *35%* - almost *10 times* the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea. The other Sea is the *Sea of Galilee.* Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different. Unlike the Dead Sea, the *Sea of Galilee* is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life. There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the Sea of Galilee is hom...

Coping with Emotion.

Emotions: Have you ever observed some of the situations occur in our lives? Say, you are walking on a road; suddenly a biker comes and lightly hits you, so that your dress gets dusty. How do you react? Shout at him or physically hit him or you keep passive and just walk on the road. Suppose if you beat the biker, you did not have the intention or even think of beating the person, but why did you beat? It is all sudden, because there is always an internal action and reaction process which takes place between our hearts, mind and physical body, which we do not see. Thus in the same kind, emotions also do work within our body and mind. Emotions take many faces as per the situation like, Anger predisposes us to defense or fighting and Fear predisposes us to flight (run away) or fight. What is Emotion? Emotions are a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psyc...

“Hire good people, and leave them alone.”:

- *3M's Evolutionary Progress:* McKnight’s (Chairman of the Board) approach was captured in phrases that would be chanted often by 3Mers throughout its history: “Listen to anyone with an original idea, no matter how absurd it might sound at first.” “Encourage; don’t nitpick. Let people run with an idea.” “Hire good people, and leave them alone.” “If you put fences around people, you get sheep. Give people the room they need.” “Encourage experimental doodling.” “Give it a try—and quick!” Pg 342, Built to last, Jim Collins & Jerry Porras. Source: received through WhatsApp message

How does patience affect our relationships with people around us?

- There are many ways that patience affects our relationships with other people. Having patience with people can improve our lives and make them happier. When we have enough patience to deal with people calmly, we can easily handle the conflicts and lose our stress. There are many benefits to patience. How we behave patiently with others is important. Patience is not easy. It is a mental exercise, one which takes tolerance and will power. It is necessary for every one of us. We must become patient with people. Compassionate and supportive people are more likely to have patience with everyone and everyone is likely to become more compassionate and supportive towards them.
