Lessons In Life!!!>>


Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree..
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lays there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
hahaha...cheers!!!! what do you think????

The First (and hopefully the last ) biggest mistake of my life

Hello people,
I had created my blog a few weeks ago, but was not sure how to start posting, or what should be my first post, I was just not getting anything which would qualify as a first post of my first blog.
Then something happened today, something, which I hope would change my life forever.
Well here it goes...
There is a show called "Gadget Guru" which comes on NDTV. About 2 months ago, I don't remember exactly, but it was definitely sometime when iPhone 3G was launched worldwide; the show had a contest, which would give the winner an iPhone 3G.
The contest was that we have to come up with an idea of a killer feature for the iPhone. I had it in my mind that the iPhone lacked a keypad, though it has a virtual keypad, but still it doesn't match up to the real world keypad experience. So I thought integrating a keypad which is laser projected on any surface (preferably flat surface) would be a boon for the Apple iPhone. I told my idea to my dad right after the show got over and he asked me to submit it immediately. But I said I will submit it after 12 am, because then I have free internet as per my Internet connection tariff.
Alas! Me being a lazy & forgetful (only when I need to remember something the most) earthling, I forgot to email them that very day and this thing of remembering and forgetting continued days, weeks & months! In between they had also extended the contest for like 1 more week because of the huge popularity of the contest. But still I don't know why I didn't submit my idea, even when I was damn sure that this is the best idea and I knew this idea will definitely win.
And today as I was just being myself (read LAZY) and watching the TV, I saw Gadget Guru and this was the episode where the winner and his idea would be on the show. The moment of truth. And guess what, same idea, even the same words that I had spoken! Believe it or not, I was shocked. Really mad at myself, but also feeling proud that my idea really won the first prize. I had like a major flood of adrenaline hitting all my body parts within seconds after I saw the results.
I told everything to my family members... and thats another long story as what happened next!
The only outlet I find right now for my own justification is this, my very own blog. So now let me try and recover from this.

MORAL OF THE STORY: If you don't value time, time won't value you! - My Dad.
