The Boss was retiring.  Everyone had tears in their eyes on the day of his farewell.  One of the employees said,  “Sir, there is one thing we want to learn from you. You worked here for so many years.  Leave aside about scolding your subordinates, we have never seen you even shouting at them.  We have scolded our subordinates on pressure of work or for other reasons.  We want to know about the seed of your patience.” The Boss said,  “This all comes from the incident of my childhood.  My father was working as a lower level employee in an office.  He was a very nice person.  He was respected very much in our family.  It happened one day,  I was studying in the 4th standard.  I had gone to the office of my father for some reason.  I saw that my father was not on his seat.  I waited outside. After some time,  the door of the Boss opened, my father came out of the door.  I saw the fair face of my father had ...

*"That Which You Know Already" - Real Life Story !* 'Ouspensky' was a marvelous thinker from Russia. He had written many books, one of which had brought special fame. It was said that there was no book in the world to equal his. At the time Ouspensky went to visit 'Gurdjieff', He was a famous man, Gurdjieff was a simple 'Fakir'. Ouspensky said to him: ”I want to put some questions to you.” Gurdjieff handed him a blank piece of paper and said: ”Before we talk, write down all that you know and all that you do not know. Then we shall talk on that which you do not know. That which you know already, needs no elucidation. It will only profit you if we talk on the matters you do not know.” That was a strange way to greet a famous man! However Ouspensky took the paper and went in a corner of the room He meant to make a long list. But when he started to write, he found himself in a strange predicament!  He asked himself: ”Do I know God?”  The answer came from w...

Today's Story: _The Experts:)_ In 1942, Russia was being overrun by German tanks. The Russians needed a fast, cheap way to combat them. One of their ideas was to use dogs. Training dogs to carry explosives under the tanks made sense. Dogs were fast and could each carry a small bomb. The only problem was the dogs couldn’t be trained to put the bomb down and run away. So the dogs would just have to explode with the bombs. It still made sense. There were plenty of dogs, they were cheap and easy to train. So the Russians set up canine-training schools staffed by experts. Experts who knew exactly how dogs thought. They decided the best kind of dog to use would be Alsatians: strong, brave, and fast. Each dog was trained to wear a vest with 28lb of explosives. They were kept permanently hungry and their food was always kept under a tank. So they learned to crawl under a tank to get their food. In a battle, a lever sticking out of the explosives would hit the bottom of the tank. That would...

Many people feel emotions in certain parts of their bodies–stress in their neck or anxiety in their stomach, maybe happiness in their chest.  For example: Anger has many expressions: resentment is one, frustration is another and obviously rage is an extreme. Symptoms that may show up are, blurry vision, dizziness, headaches that are mainly on the top of the head, high blood pressure or pain in the ribs.  Below is the article being circulated widely among social media. Though I was not able to get the first source of this finding. You may comment if some thing is incorrect.

A beautiful story, do read...it makes a difference One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with...

*Much respect to whoever wrote this awesome article* *It is a mistake to think time is going. Time is not going. Time is here until the world ends. It is you that is going. You don’t waste time. Time is infinite. You waste yourself. You are finite (In this world). It is you that grow old and die. Time doesn’t. So make better use of yourself before you expire. And one of the worst things to do with time is comparing yourself to others. A cow eats grass and gets fat but if dog eats grass, it will die. Never compare yourself with others. Run your own race. What works for one person may be that which will kill you. Focus on the gifts and talents God gave you and don’t be envious of the blessings He gave others.* *Both Lion and Shark are professional hunters, BUT:* *A Lion cannot hunt in the Ocean and a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle* *That a Lion cannot hunt in the ocean doesn't make him useless and that a Shark cannot hunt in the jungle doesn't also make him useless both...
