It’s A Matter of Choice Always…
Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs, so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant
Why？
Because Jerry was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him："I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I always choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life."
"But it's not always that easy,“ I protested.
"Yes it is," Jerry said.
"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice.
• You choose how you react to situations.
• You choose how people will affect your mood.
• You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
• It's your choice how you live your life."
Several years later
I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business.
He left the back door of his restaurant open And then ???
In the morning, he was robbed by three armed men. They Wanted $ *# $$$...
While Jerry trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination.
The robbers panicked and shot him.
Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.… I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was,he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared” I asked?
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.
But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.
In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.‘ I knew I needed to take action."
What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything.“
'Yes,' I replied.
The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.
I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!'
Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'.
"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that
Every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.
The only thing that is truly yours -- which no one can control or take from you, is your Attitude.
So if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

The Story of the Pencil
The Story of the Pencil - By Paulo coelho
A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter , at one point he asked: 'Are you writing a story about what we've done or is it a story about me?' His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson: 'I am writing about you actually,but more important than the words is the pencil am using. I hope you'll be like this pencil when you grow up'. Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil . It did not seem very special. 'But its just like any other pencil that I have ever seen!' That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which , if you manage to hang on to them , will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.
'First quality: You are capable of great things,but you must never forget that there's a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand 'GOD' and he always guides us according to his will.
Second Quality: Now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little but afterwards , he's much sharper. So you too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they'll make you a better person.
Third Quality: The pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did, is not necessarily a bad thing; It helps to keep us on the road to justice.
Fourth quality: What really matters for the pencil is not its wooden exterior but its graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.
Finally, the pencils fifth quality: It always leave a mark. In just the same way, you should know that every thing you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action.
Thanks

The ROAD Ahead. WWW - VERSION 1. And Now WEB 2.0 It is CHANGE. Let's WELCOME CHANGE!!! :)
Objective: "To Look Back and See what is Ahead". What we have left behind and what surprises we can expect? Current Pink / Red and Green Slips are Just a TIP of an ICE – Berg. Let's CHANGE before we become dinosaur. Let's Help others and Get Helped. Let's Invest in People not in Stock Market. Let's Smile a Lot and Spend Moderate.
The Road Ahead, a book written by Bill Gates, Nathan Myhrvold and Peter Rinearson and published in November 1995 (The Year when I was in 6th Semester B.E.EC DDIT Nadiad, GUJARAT India and Started Business of Books and Calculators!) , summarized the implications of the personal computing revolution and described a future profoundly changed by the arrival of a global interactive network. Did not foresee that the then-nascent Internet would evolve into the interactive network that Gates would later predict. Indeed, Microsoft intended that MSN would become the dominant network. After the book was written, but before it hit bookstores, Gates recognized that the Internet was gaining the critical mass needed to drive it to dominance, and on December 7, 1995 — just weeks after the release of the book — he redirected Microsoft to become an Internet-focused company (But Now.... GOOGLE is No 1 Why? Think... and Write Comments). Then he and coauthor Rinearson spent several months revising the book, making it 20,000 words longer and focused on the Internet. The revised edition was published in October 1996 as a trade paperback.
THINK: Now Imagine About WEB 2.0 Google, Orkut, Facebook, LinkedIn, Social Networking, Twitter... etc... The TV will be a think of Past. You can watch what you want rather then what u made to watch by Media Tycoons and Giants. Please add your knowledge on this topic.

Selling Smile For Free - PART I
Smile is a gift of god, gives energy and enthusiasm. It’s like cold & cough virus.. Spreads and multiplies. So more you smile more it’s better for you, your company, church, and temple and family. The best thing is it’s free. And that’s the reason I sell it to one and all I encounter with. It’s a Magic formula. It is paying me great return and hope reader of this blog will also gain. Selling smile will be 4 Part series, Taking us through our life in local context of PUNE - INDIA. Why to Smile? Do I need to explain this? Everyone knows the answer and every one may have experienced it. Smile helps... In present day environment due to many factors, many of us have forgotten to smile. You can see many people with lot of stress and anger. They are ever ready to fight.. Give them a small chance and they will blast on anyone alive or dead. It's SAD.. Don't you think so? Let's introspect and find reasons... what is stopping us from smiling at each and every one we meet and encounter... Following are my observations: (Please write yours in comment Section) 1. We are busy working Monday to Friday...we are in hurry no time to smile. 2. Everyone is unhappy, AIG has taken my money and that's the reason I can't smile... 3. My Boss is making my life difficult and he is not giving me a cool laptop or a blue or blackberry phone.. And that is the reason I am not having a smile and I have a sad face which will remain till I will get a Latest Laptop and PDA Phone and a company paid mobile connection. 4. There is much traffic and it takes 3o more min. for me to reach office... You know 30 more min... I am loosing 30 min. from my life and do you want me to smile? 5. My bank is not giving me money to go on a cool vacation. My credit card is not able to take my trip ticket for this weekend. How can I smile? Are we able to relate reasons mentioned over here with our life? If yes let's see a different perspective of it in PART 2.
