Self Training for Top Management

A Red Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other.

He says to the waiter, 'Me want coffee.'

The waiter says, 'Sure chief, coming right up...'

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee, and the Indian drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the bucket of manure, throws it into the air, blasts it with the shotgun, then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He walks up to the counter and

Says to the waiter, 'Me want coffee.'

The waiter says, 'Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.. What the heck was all that about, anyway?'

The Indian smiles and proudly says, 'Me training for top management position: Come in, drink coffee, shoot some crap, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day'.

Make sure

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There is a silence, and then a shot is heard.

The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?”

It's not love if you...

If you love someone because you think that he or she is really gorgeous...
Then it's not love..
it's - Infatuation...

If you love someone because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't...
Then it's not love..
it's - Compromise...

If you love someone because you think that you cannot live with out his touch....
Then it's not love..
it's - Lust...

If you love someone because you have been kissed by him...
Then it's not love..
it's - Inferiority Complex...

If you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings..
Then it's not love..
it's - Charity...

If you love someone because you share every thing with him...
Then it's not love..
it's - Friendship...

But if you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable
And you cry for him..
that's - LOVE...

Body Language

A friend sent me this email, which I found it very interesting to share with.

Most of your communication is non-verbal. The tone of your voice conveys a message. The smirk on your face conveys a message. The lowering of your chin conveys a message. The twinkle of your eye, rate of speech and a dozen other things can communicate to a woman that you are strong, confident and powerful long before you open your mouth.

Yes, the look on your face will help you convince other people. Actors are paid a great deal of money to convey thoughts with their actions - face in particular.

If you are not confident about what your facial expressions convey, pay close attention to the actors in many of the dramas. Look at yourself in the mirror and practice conveying a meaning. Yes, it sounds stupid, but that is exactly what actors do. They literally practice conveying thoughts and emotions without using their voice. They also practice conveying the same thing only using their voice.

A great example is from the movie Cast Away. Look at the body language of Tom Hanks before the crash. Compare that to his body language on the FedEx jet returning to Memphis. Then compare it again to the scene at the end when he is delivering the package to the angel ranch. He goes from confident and competent, to scared, to regaining his confidence. He demonstrates it by body language - the way he carries himself, the look on his face and his mannerisms.

Right place at the right time

I just happened to be at the right place at the right time

Double the insult

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen. Ugh!”

The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!”

The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”

Moral: You can't always trust person sit next to you.

Hell

A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that it is possible to choose one of many different sections, each having management and manning from a different country. He decides he'll pick the least painful to spend his eternity. He goes to the German Hell and asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day".

The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on. He checks out the American Hell as well as the Russian Hell and window shops at many more.

He discovers that they are all similar to the German hell.

Then he comes to the PAKISTANI Hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting to get in.

Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?"

He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. The PAKISTANI devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day".

"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells so why are there so many people suffering in line to get in?" asks the man.

"Oh, mostly there is no electricity, so the electric chair does not work. The nails were paid for but never supplied, so the bed is comfortable to sleep on. And the PAKISTANI devil used to be a government servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and goes back home for whatever."

Infatuation, Cheating and Murder

Tonight another disturbing program on The Investigators on True TV. A man who, ironically, worked for a dating service attracted the attention of a female co-worker. She was infatuated with the man. They went out. They went back to his place and had sex.

Woman, turns out, had a boyfriend. The summary of the taped interview which they played is a perfect demonstration of process oriented thinking.

Woman returns to her home and finds her stupid boyfriend waiting for her. He questions where she has been. Her answer? Shopping. He calls her on her bullshit. She admits to being with another man - HER BOSS. She then tells the stupid boyfriend that HE raped HER!

What does stupid boyfriend do? He murders the man.

The DA was interviewed and could not believe that a woman would effectively be a co-conspirator in murder in order to keep her boyfriend after cheating on him, and the price to hang on to the boyfriend was murder.

Again, instead of the stupid boyfriend being a man and dumping the bitch, he gets life in prison. His stupid girlfriend who cheated on the dude got 25 years.

Men, when you have options and can walk away from women, you might learn a skill that can save your life someday.

Anger

Anger is like dominoes, you release one down and it will affect all the others down the road AT SOME POINT. You may THINK you have "won" the war, when in fact you may have only won a single "battle", but suffered such huge losses in that battle that ultimately, in the war, the long haul, you will LOSE.

When that happens, nothing good will come of it. And, in today's society, a man won't win in that situation. So, if you find yourself with someone who has exhibited a little too much hostility toward anyone, I recommend dropping them immediately and walking away.

Running and Weight Loss

Running 15 miles a week burns roughly 1,500 calories—but to lose a pound, you need to cut 3,500 calories a week. Bottom line? Running alone won't cut it; if you want to lose weight more quickly, you need to adjust your calorie intake. In a study in the 2007 American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism,, researchers followed participants for a year and found that lean and overweight adults who restrict their calorie intake by an average of 300 calories a day lose nearly 25 percent of their body fat. People who just exercise but don't eat fewer calories lose just over 22 percent. Both regimens worked, but your best bet is to combine the effort.

Running for Health

A trainer said "Running is an amazingly satisfying experience. You can start with walking, and continue jogging. It can be race running. But at every level, it offers an opportunity for fun, for fitness, for thought, for contemplation and for achievement.

Running gives you time to observe the world around you. It gives you time to observe yourself, your body and your mind. It lets you work out in your head things that you are thinking about, stresses you have been experiencing during your day. It provides an excuse for that invaluable “alone time” that you need during your day.

And with some proper stretching, strengthening and careful attention to your body, you can run injury free and feel better. You will find that you have more energy and feel a greater sense of alertness."

Ways to participate:

Intramurals - Pumpkin run, track meet
Sport Clubs - Marathon
Informal Recreation - jogging/running tracks, treadmills.

Office Pessimists

You don't want to be such a buzz kill that people arrange their desks away from you.

That's what Caroline Melville, owner of virtual administrative service VirtuallySorted.com, had to do after hiring an accountant to work with her small team.

In the mornings, when Melville asked how he was doing, he would respond with a deadpan, "I am not dead yet."

If the company booked a new client and the office was celebrating their success, he would pipe in with, "Ah, I don't know. I don't know. He might leave."

The eternal pessimist didn't stay long. He resigned when his wife got a new job and needed to move. But Melville didn't complain.

"It was quite a sigh of relief for me, actually, because it was quite stressful having someone like that in the office."

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. A proverb advising the tactic of caution and non-aggression, backed up by the ability to do violence if required.

The widespread use of this proverb began with American president Theodore Roosevelt. In a speech in Chicago in April 1903, he said "Speak softly and carry and big stick; you will go far. If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Munroe Doctrine will go far."

It could also means to threaten gently instead of yelling what you are going to do, and have the ammo to back it up.

Anger and Love

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions......sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved, but the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved...

During this year,let's be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved...

No good deed goes unpunished

Exercising and lowering cholesterol level

Whether your goal is to lower your cholesterol, shed some extra pounds, or both, regular exercise can help you get there. One study suggests that walks of any duration may help reduce heart disease risk. For the study, British researchers recruited 56 sedentary people between ages 40 and 66, then divided them into three groups. One group took a long, 20- to 40-minute walk each day; another group walked for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day; and the third group took 5- to 10-minute walks three times a day.

Over the 18 weeks of the study, the once-a-day walkers saw their LDL cholesterol drop by 8.3 percent; the twice-a-day walkers by 5.8 percent. The researchers concluded that walks of any length can be beneficial, as long as they're done at a moderate intensity—that is, a brisk pace at which you can still carry on a conversation.

Losing weight and lowering cholesterol

According to the American Heart Association, people who have a total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) are twice as likely to experience a heart attack as people who have a cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL. Generally, doctors like to see total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL, with LDL (bad cholesterol) below 130—the high end of the "near-optimal" range—and HDL (good cholesterol) above 40

If you weigh more than you should, slimming down may produce a significant drop in your cholesterol level. Research suggests that being overweight disrupts the normal metabolism of dietary fat. So even though you may be eating less fat, you may not see a difference in your cholesterol profile until you unload the excess pounds.In fact, shedding just 5 to 10 pounds may be enough to improve your cholesterol level. Just don't go the crash-dieting route. A slow but steady loss of 1/2 to 1 pound a week is healthiest and easiest to maintain. Since 1 pound equals 3,500 calories, you could meet the pound-per-week rate by eating 500 fewer calories per day, burning 500 more calories per day through exercise, or—the best option—a combination of the two.

Findings from the landmark Framingham Heart Study confirm that such modest weight loss is worth the effort, for reasons beyond cholesterol control. According to the study, taking off—and keeping off—just 1 to 2 pounds a year may reduce your risk of high blood pressure by 25 percent and your risk of diabetes by 35 percent.

Think before you speak

Everyone has complaints at the office, but it may be best to avoid sharing them with coworkers. Sometimes it's good to get negative emotions off your chest by venting to a close friend or family member, but don't complain at work at all -- people won't like you. Instead, think of ways to turn a bad situation into a more positive one and approach your boss and coworkers with solutions rather than problems.

Converse carefully with coworkers, especially at first. Spend more time listening than you do speaking. Show an interest in other people, but don't discuss anything that you wouldn't talk about with your grandmother or religious officiant -- especially with a coworker you don't know extremely well. In general, steer clear of sex, drugs, and politics.

What is Love

If you love someone because you think that he or she is really gorgeous...
Then it's not love..
it's - Infatuation...

If you love someone because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't...
Then it's not love..
it's - Compromise...

If you love someone because you think that you cannot live with out his touch....

Then it's not love..
it's - Charity...

If you love someone because you share every thing with him...
Then it's not love..
it's - Friendship...

But if you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable
And you cry for him..
that's - LOVE...

Self Confidence

Your confidence is reflected in how you carry yourself... but also in how you take care of yourself. You could be overweight and be confident... but your confidence is born of knowing, deep inside, that even though you are overweight, you are as such by desire, not because of being too lazy to change. A confident man is always working to improve himself.

Yes, you can DEVELOP confidence and then hold it no matter how you look or what you wear. But, a confident man isn't going to wear cheap, gaudy, or dirty things. His confidence and his character won't abide it. He will, at all times, present himself in the best position he can. Why wear a pair of $5 beat up loafers when you could be wearing a pair of $40 coasters that will look so much better? A confident man would.

Age

Fifty dollars is fifty dollars!

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, 'Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.'

Esther always replied, 'I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars'

One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, 'Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.'

To this, Esther replied, 'Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'

The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word it's fifty dollars.'

Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.

He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, 'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!'

Morris replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know, Fifty dollars is fifty dollars!

Charitable Lawyer

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he g ot out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"

We don't have any money for food," the man replied. "We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along," the lawyer replied. Turning to the other man he stated, "You come with us too."

The second man said, in a pleading voice, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children!"

"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high!"

Hearing aids

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 the husband could perform to give the Doctor 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 s o on until you get a response."

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he washing 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 the husband 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!"

Moral of the story:

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

Dear John

Dear John,

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the past six months.

I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely,
Sheila Andy


Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solve the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

John

Winning Solves Everything

“Winning solves everything,” A sportsman said. “When you’re winning people focus on what you’re doing and who you are. When you’re losing, people focus on what you’re not doing, and rightfully so. All that negativity after awhile starts to beat you down. You feel like you can take it for a while, but after three, four, five years of it, you say I’ve been getting beat up. Maybe a different atmosphere has helped.”

Talking about Intimidation

Can you stand if someone do this to you?

Why employees leave organizations?

Every good and stable company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile. For struggling companies they are happy when employees leave their companies. For them it is one way to cut cost and increase productivity. What a loser!

Early this year, Jenny, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its California operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer.

She had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office, and the very best technology, even a canteen that served superb food.

Twice Jenny was sent abroad for training. "My learning curve is the sharpest it's ever been," she said soon after she joined.

Last week, less than eight months after she joined, Jenny walked out of the job.

Why did this talented employee leave?

Zender quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.

The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called "First Break All the Rules". It came up with this surprising finding:

If you're losing good people, look to their manager.... manager is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he’s the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge, experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition.

"People leave managers not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.

Mostly manager drives people away?

HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave, but a thought has been planted. The second time that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.

When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don 't have your heart and soul in the job."

The 90/10 Principle

The 90/10 Principle
Author: Stephen Covey
Discover the 90/10 Principle
It will change your life
(or 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 the 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.
However, you can control your reaction.
Do not let people fool you.
YOU can control how you react.
Let us use an example…
