Author: Stephen Covey Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? ..........By your reaction. You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react. Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for kn

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his audience. He Said: "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 IT 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 wild with shock and rage. Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was!" Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste!

Marc Faber comment on US economy . Investment analyst and entrepreneur Dr. Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin (June 2008) with the Following: ''The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China . If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India . If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala . If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany . If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part.'         

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile. A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named. When Rishi Kashyap struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath.' He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them. The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and in support of Pakistan , he shouted, 'What are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there then. ' The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.'      

During a recent visit to an optician, one of my friends was told of an exercise for the eyes by a specialist doctor that he termed as 20-20-20 ." It is apt for all of us, who spend long hours at our desks, looking at the computer screen. I Thought I'd share it with you. 20-20-20 Step I :- After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes. Step II :- Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them. Step III :- Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body. Circulate among your friends if you care for them and their eyes. They say that your eyes r mirror of your soul, so do take care of them, they are priceless...... Do remember to pass this important message to your friends also....... 'Ef

Here are some of  the most common mistakes made by  many of us.                                                                                                        Crossing our  legs                               Do you cross  your legs at your  knees when sitting?

If you don't  want varicose veins to    mar the beauty of your legs  and compromise your  health, uncross your   legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the  other. The

DO NOT IGNORE THIS ....... Especially those fond of Maggi...... "CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES" The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health. `Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat. This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles. By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be toxic. The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles. CORRECT METHOD : 1. boil the noodles in a pot with water. 2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax. 3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the

This is Just for FUN Very Interesting ,  I  Hope you like it. ..............................     Over the past several years, we have all learned to live with IVRS - 'Inter-active Voice Response System' as a necessary part of modern life. I was just wondering what would happen if God decides to go hi-tech and installs voicemail? I gave it a lot of thought and came up with various scenarios:   Let us imagine a scenario. You dialled God's number.   'Hi! Thank you for calling God. Please select one of the following:   If you are Christian, dial 1 All Hindus, dial 2 All Muslims, dial 3 All others, dial 0.'   So, lets say you are a Hindu and you dialled 2. Here is what you hear:   Press 1 for Requests Press 2 for Thank you messages for God Press 3 for Complaints about unfulfilled promises Press 4 for All other inquiries. If your prayers

On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg a middle-aged,    well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting    next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over    to complain about her seating.       "What seems to be the problem Madam?" asked the attendant.     "Can't you see?" she said " You've sat me next to a kaffir.     "I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human.Find me another seat!"    "Please calm down Madam." the stewardess replied. "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class."    The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside  her (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the p

  Qantas Airlines - After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft, during the flight, that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.   Never let it be said that ground crew and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.   (P = The problem logged by the pilot.)   (S = The solution and action taken by the mechanics.)   P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.   S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.   P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.   S: Auto-land not i

1. Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.   2. If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again. 3. Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous.   4. It's always better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here. 5. The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.   6. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating. 7. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.   8. A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' landing is one after which they can use the plane again. 9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

  A young man asked an old rich man how he made his  money.   The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said,  "Well,  son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was  down to my last nickel.   "I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day  polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple  for ten cents.   "The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I     spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm  for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end  of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37.   "Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

The man looked a little worried when the doctor came in to  administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor  did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.    "Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes," answered the patient.  "You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. I'm never sure I can      remember where I put the car, or whether I answered a letter,  or where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once I get there  -- if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do?"    The doctor mused for a moment, then answered in his kindest  tone, "Pay me in advance." 

A Latin American tour guide was addressing a small group of  senior citizens and telling them about the country they were  visiting. When he asked if they had any questions, one   person inquired, "What is the number one sport in this    country?"   "Bullfighting," the guide replied.   The same person asked "Isn't that revolting?"   "No," replied the tour guide. "That's number two!"
