NEVER BE TOO LATE...   (From now on, I have decided to be Present at the venue of any meeting at least   an hour before The meeting starts...!) A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in theparish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosento make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few wordswhile they waited:

'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heardhere. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very firstperson who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television setand, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. Hehad stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had anaffair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister.I was appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were notall like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good andloving people.'.!!!!!

Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full ofapologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation andgave his talk:

'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said thepolitician. 'In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to himfor confession.'

Moral: Never, Never, NEVER EVER, BE LATE!

An article by Alan Hosking, publisher of HR Future magazine  In this, oh so materialistic, world we live in, we’re inclined to think of wealth in terms of one thing only – money. Sure, it’s probably the form of wealth that most people recognize the easiest and want the most. But is it, really? Let’s test your concept of wealth … Which would you rather have few million dollars and an aggressive cancer with six months to live, or no money but the option of a long healthy life? It’s a bit of a no-brainer. I want to suggest that there are at least seven types of wealth. When you consider them, you might find that you’re wealthier than you realize! 

1. Physical Wealth. The first form of wealth is your physical health (and with this I include your mental health). If you can’t get out of bed, it’s not much fun having millions and not being able to enjoy them. If you want to become truly wealthy, go for physical wealth first as that will give you the means to start acquiring other forms of wealth. 

2. Relational Wealth. We weren't meant to live in the forests alone. That’s why we’re lonely when we are disconnected from family, friends and society. Again, money means very little when you have no-one special to share it with. I know people who are fabulously wealthy but who are miserably unhappy because their relationships with parents, partners, children, siblings or friends have disintegrated. Strive to build up your relational wealth and you will never be lonely. 

3. Spiritual Wealth. This refers to your values and the development of your spirit – the essence of who you are - through prayer, meditation or contemplation. Many

people focus on external (material) wealth and never discover internal wealth. They consequently never discover who they really are and die in poverty in that regard. When you find yourself, you find the wealth that was put into you for success in this life. 

4. “Meaning” Wealth. This wealth is built by discovering and developing your reason for being on the planet. This is the only way your life will truly have any meaning. At the end of your life, if you feel your life has had no purpose, you will feel deep regret that your life has been of no value. 

5. “Memories” Wealth. As we get older, we are able to build this wealth. Everybody has memories, but not everybody has happy memories – of their childhood, of their partners, of their children, of their careers. This is one wealth you cannot build at the end of your life. You have to build it now by creating the memories you want to carry with you for the rest of your life. When you live for others now, you will build a wealth of happy memories that will make you a wealthy person as you age. 

6. “Opportunities” Wealth. Some get given many opportunities, some get very few opportunities, and some create their own opportunities. Some take the few opportunities they get and turn them into something wonderful. Many get given opportunities which they fail to recognize and never seize them. It’s up to you what you do with the many or few opportunities life gives you. The way to build “Opportunities” wealth is to learn to recognize opportunities that come your way, no matter how small they may be, then use them to create magic. 

7. Financial Wealth. This wealth is the easiest to spot, but not necessarily the easiest to acquire. There is no get rich scheme that is really sustainable. Set yourself financial goals, then work toward achieving them and you will be able to build wealth in this area. 

As you build your career and your life, don’t chase financial wealth only. Make sure you build wealth in the other six areas I mentioned and you will truly be a wealthy person! HOW VERY TRUE...IF & ONLY IF IT WAS THAT VERY SIMPLE TO PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE.....

Good Morning….Greetings to you this Monday morning! The big win isn't the end of all feeling good. It is the little victories that you accomplish on an everyday basis that makes you happiest of all.

These victories (the ones that seem very insignificant) can actually make you very happy and can bring about a sense of completion and achievement.

It is believed that human beings respond very well to rewards. According to psychologists, this sense of reward corresponds with feelings of happiness and recognition. It is also believed that when people take time to notice things that go right, it means that they are getting a lot of small rewards throughout the day and this feeling can help lift the mood.

Experts feel that it is very important to acknowledge the good. It is also known to be one of the great ways to become more positive in life. When little things show progress, that means it is on a journey to become better. This makes you more motivated to stay engaged and go through the day without feeling negative or going through moments of crisis. It makes one optimistic.

Some of the reasons cited by psychologists that make people feel better and more grateful are - being there for someone in times of need (the feeling of actually helping out someone), doing something that they have just thought of doing till date, achieving something small (could be winning a local match, performing well at your dance class, or a small pat on the back from your boss). These reasons go a long way in ensuring that you stay motivated throughout and work harder to bring a smile on someone's face. Have a great charged up week ahead and be grateful for little things which happens around you. Source of article: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health/Reasons-to-be-grateful-for-little-things/articleshow/20119924.cms

 Warm regards,Good Day.. 

A gwala (cattle herder) named Budhi Ram was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Himachal when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.           The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"                  Budhi Ram looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"   The yuppie parks his car, whips out his macBook Air computer, connects it to his iphone, and surfs to a NASApage on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in iPhoto and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .   Within seconds, he receives an email on his iPhone that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his iPhone and, after a few minutes, receives a response.      Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized LaserJet printer, turns to Budhi Ramy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."                   

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Budhi- Ram.          He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.         Then Budhi Ram says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly who you are & what is your business , will you give me back my calf?"        The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"        "You're Rahul Gandhi, says Budhi- Ram.

          "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie idiot, "but how did you guess that?"      "No guessing required." answered Budhi Ram. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. ...    Now give me back my dog. God, Please Save India !!!
