Shake it off and take a step up

One day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway; so it just wasn't worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. Realising what was happening, the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly. Then, a few shovelfuls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer peered down into the well, and was astounded by what he saw. With every shovelful of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing some thing amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off, to the shock and astonishment of all the neighbours. Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to not let it bury you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

++++++++++++++++++

The moral to the story is very simple. Life is going to shovel dirt at you. You have two choices:

You can be buried alive by the dirt life throws at you or

You can shake it off and step up +++++++++++++++++++

What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him… All because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. If we face our problems and respond to them positively and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity… the adversities that come along in life usually have within them the potential to benefit and bless us!

Tandoori Potato & Kebab tomato!!

Each Friday night after work, Sardar would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs. But, all of his neighbours were strict Catholics ... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled meats was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their Priest. The Priest came to visit Sardar and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Sardar attended Mass... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, You were born a Sikh, and raised a Sikh, but now, you are a Catholic." Sardar's neighbours were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived. The wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken and meat kebabs filled the neighbourhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbours and, as he rushed into Sardar's backyard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Sardar, holding a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meats and chanted: "Oye, you were born a chicken, and you were born a lamb, you were raised a chicken and you were raised a lamb but now you are a potato and tomato" After all, --Singh is King--

Someday….Oneday….

A friend of mine opened his wife's drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: 'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.' He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box. 'She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.

He turned to me and said:’ Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'.


12

I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day...

I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions; I use it whenever I want to.

The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary.


13

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now...

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.

I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food.

It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.


14

If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.

'One of these days’, remember that 'One day' is far away... or might never come.. No matter if you're superstitious or not, spend some time reading it. It holds useful messages for the soul.

Lab’s report & Cat’ scan

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away." The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet.. "How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"

The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."

Killing Interview!

The KGB had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists — two men and one woman. For the final test, the KGB agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. “We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said.” You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife,” The agent replies, “Then you’re not the right man for this job." The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.” Finally, it was the woman’s turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”

Interview secrets revealed!!

Ever wondered just which part of the job interviews you give are

the most relevant? What exactly ARE you being judged on? And

what, exactly, qualifies as a faux pas, given that different

individuals react differently to the same things? Cosmo went

behind the job search scene and asked five bosses-who inter view

all the time for their companies - just what they judge potential

employees on!

Suvarna Chakravarty

HR Manager, UNITECH

During the interview, our focus moves from qualifications to

temperament-we look out for a person who can sustain

himself/herself under pressure. So much of modern work life is

about dealing with pressure, after all! We deliberately ask difficult

questions to get a sense of how they'll hold their ground. Anyone

who keeps their nerve through that is at least likely to have a better

handle on stress and will, hopefully, bring at least 50% of that

ability to the workplace.

Payal Puri

Editor, Cosmopolitan

I look for people with a passion for what they do and who aren't

scared to show it. I like interviewees who aren't afraid to ask

questions about the work; when asked an opinion on something,

honesty works over political correctness. If they can't say anything

about the magazine beyond 'I love it', that's worrying-you can't love

everything in it! You should be able to detail what you don't like

and why, too. Give an honest opinion, positive, or negative; it's the

rationality of the answer that counts. And I think I speak for

interviewees everywhere when I say ditch the cliches-like "I'm

looking to widen my horizons" are so yesterday. If you have nothing

original to say, don't say it!

Souvik Ghosh

Marketing Manager, Specialities, Dupont

First impressions-when someone first walks in-are of course on

overall presentability. Marketing is a people function; you meet

clients and represent a company, and you have to make a positive

impression. The other thing we look for is the ability to come up

with creative solutions-it could be examples from a previous job or

in any aspect of life. Good negotiation skills, references, and prior

experience also speak for a lot. For freshers, we go through the

process of group discussions and also judge basis their analysis of

case studies.

Renuka Chatterjee

Chief Editor, Westland Ltd.

Professional qualifications are important, but it's not necessary

to have a first division in English Lit-it's more important to have a

genuine love of books and the willingness to learn. And above all

this, I'd look for an ability to get along with people; a person who

isn't into politics or gossip, someone who can roll up their sleeves

and work! Of course, it's not possible to tell all this over one or two

meetings, so one goes by instinct and gut feel and previous

references where possible.

Rahul Kanwal

Executive Editor, Headlines Today

The most important thing when hiring for TV, is to determine

how hungry the person is to achieve success. Nobody starts with

strong technical skills or great contacts. Everyone ends up learning

on the job. It's those who have the strongest desire to succeed, who

make the effort to pick up the skills that eventually make them

successful. So we try and find candidates who have a strong

journalistic fire burning in their belly. Since TV requires strong

communication skills, we also lay a lot of emphasis on a person's

ease with language.

A cuppa every day for boss could ensure pay rise!

Want a pay rise?

Well, then just cosy up to your boss by making him/her a cuppa every

day.

According to a research by tea brand Clipper, around 53 percent of

workers say they regularly make hot drinks for their bosses just to be in

their good books.

In fact, some office workers confessed that they knew more

about how their boss liked his or her tea or coffee than people in their own family, reports The Daily Star.

And over half of workers say they take their own mug to work, the

study found


23

Bossing !!

When I take a long time to finish, I am slow,

When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough.

When I don't do it, I am lazy,

When my boss does not do it, he is busy.

When I do something without being told,

I am trying to be smart,

When my boss does the same, he takes the initiative, he is proactive.

When I please my boss, I am apple polishing,

When my boss pleases his boss, he is cooperating,


24

When I make a mistake, I' am an idiot.

When my boss makes a mistake, he's only human.

When I am out of the office, I am wandering around.

When my boss is out of the office, he's on business.

When I am on a day off sick, I am always sick.

When my boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When I apply for leave, I must be going for an

interview When my boss applies for leave,

it's because he's overworked

When I do good,

my boss never remembers, When I do wrong, he never forgets.
