[www.keralites.net] Positive Thinking: a motivational story

 

A Motivational story about Positive Thinking


Read this, and let it really sink in... Then, choose how you start your day tomorrow...

Jerry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.

The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was 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! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.

I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I 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 choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not 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. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. 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. Wanna 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, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" 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 ER and I saw the expressions 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 burly 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. 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 we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

Positive thinking the the first step towards a happy life.

Attitude is everything

If everyone applies just these, the whole world will live in happiness.

Regards,

+Inbaraj.

[www.keralites.net] LOVE

 

DEAR ALL,

Being possibly the most trivial question of all time, this is one hard question to ask.
Love is not a bond, or a relationship, but more of a heart to heart conversation. When the conversation grows, the bond and relationship forms. Therefore, love creates the bond and relationship.

Still, that leaves us with the main question, what is love?

Love is no ordinary thing. It is not voluntary, but when it begins, you will know.
 
Hindi writer Kavi Pradeep once said "Love is just a part of life and the love written about today talks about love between the sexes only. But do young men and women have a monopoly where love is concerned. Aren't there different kinds of love that between a mother and her children, between a father and his children, between a bhakt (devotee) and his deity, between a man and his motherland? I chose to write about all these different kinds of love."

There are three types of love. Infatuation, love of family, and love of your spouse.

Infatuation, most commonly known as "Puppy Love", is basically love at first sight. Infatuation can be the beginning of a future spouse love. Though most often infatuation doesn't amount to much.
 
Love of family is loving your mother and father, and any siblings you may have. You want to protect them, watch over them, and fill their lives with an unbounding joy. The parents have an innermost feeling for their children, which in my case, they express everyday.

Love of your spouse means loving someone you are married to. Whether husband or wife, you support your spouse with a deep modesty, and you treat them with great respect.

Okay, so I told you the three types of love. But I still haven't told you what love is. I told you a definition, a heart to heart conversation, but does that tell you much? No. So, I will put it straight

Love means to care, to protect, to watch over, to pray for, to make sure the loved person is happy. But to tell you the truth, those are all parts of love. Not love itself.

So, I will tell you what I think of love. Love has a meaning, but we will never know. Many philosophers have tried, but all their attempts have failed. Every single one of them!

Love is actually never the same thing.

Your destiny, your future path, what you choose to do, that all determines what love is. Love is never the same, you make up the meaning of love by how you choose to use it.


Let me pick best song of love from an old hindi movie Khamoshi which was sung by Singer: Lata Mangeshkar, penned up by Lyricist Gulzar, Music Director: Hemant Kumar ever green favourite song of mine Humne dekhi hai un aankhon ki mahakti khusboo.Beautiful poetry and soothing lyrics go beyond the scope of an average listener It requires sharpened intellect to appreciate the true sentimental values that are associated with this song.

Humne dekhi hai in aankhon ki mehkati khushbu
I have seen the perfumed scent of these eyes
Hath say choo kay isay rishton ka ilzaam na do
No need to touch and solemnize this into worldly relations
sirf ehsaas hai ye, rooh se mehsoos karo
Its only feelings do feel them from the depth of your soul

Pyaar ko pyaar hi rehne do, koi naam na do
Let love remain love, do not give it a name

1st Stanza:-

 

pyaar koi bol nahi, pyaar awaaz nahi
Love is not a voice, love is not a sound
ek khamoshi hai, sunti hai kaha karti hai
It is a silence that listens and speaks (silently)
na ye bujhti hai na rukti hai, na thehri hai kahin
It can not be extinguished, stopped nor stayed
noor ki boond hai, sadiyon se baha karti hai
Just a drop of celestial light flowing from eternity
sirf ehsaas hai yerooh se mehsoos karo
Its only feelings do feel them from the depth of your soul

Pyaar ko pyaar hi rehne do, koi naam na do
Let love remain love, do not give it a name

2ND STANZA:-

Muskuraahat si khili rehti hai, aankhon mein kahin
when those eyes are lit up with smile
aur palkon pe ujale se, jhuke rehte hain
And my eyelashes are shaded by brilliance
Honth kuchh kehte nahi, kaanpte honthon pe magar
Lips say nothing, but on (my) quivering lips
kitne khaamosh se afsaane, ruke rehte hain
Untold numbers of epics take residence
sirf ehsaas hai ye rooh se mehsoos karo
Its only feelings do feel them from the depth of your soul

Pyaar ko pyaar hi rehne do, koi naam na do
Let love remain love, do not give it a name

 

Lovely song, beautiful music and the lyrics are fantastic. Forget the music, the singer, the film – just read the lyrics like a poem and try to understand it.


It is poetry at its best. Gulzar has written a great poem about that most important emotion of all – LOVE. Not only love between man and woman, person and person just the feeling of love which can touch us all.

Re: [www.keralites.net] Re: Beware : Manappuram

 

Dear All

One tme it was very difficult to get loan from Nationalised banks.

Such Financing companies gained momentum out of the situation created by nationalised banks. even today , getting a PL from nationalised bank is difficult while compared with Pvt ones

So the game is palyed by Govt - and by no one other than the policies of Govt is responsible.

What about Integrated Finance Company Ltd owned by Manaorama Group (MRF the main culprit).  Many have lost heavily.  With political support and blessings from the corrupt judiciary the Case has not fetched any water so far.  Since I am also a victim  of Integrated Finance swindling, I wrote to Shri V.S.Achuthandan  when he was the Chief Minister of Kerala  and now to Sri Oommen Chandy. The former had the courtesy at least to respond through a note from his Secretary saying that the matter will be probed (but, in vain) and the latter is still keeping silent. Whether it is Muthoot , Nano Excell , LIS or Manappuram it is always  a risky game to invest in such enterprises

I think. and i strongly believe that this is the game of Muthoot itself.. there is a cocus working behind it against all other finance companies to save muthoot.. a business stunt... very cheap.... let muthoot fight the battle of business by offering better services and profits to the public... defaming some company for the sake of thier business and destroy other company by this method is not acceptable... time has changed...... the same method was adopted aganist LIS .. it was running.. very smooth... hired the mastermind from them and later with the political support statewise and central wise they sued and finished them... pathetic. dirty game....

...Join Keralites, Have fun & be Informed.

Re: [www.keralites.net] A verdict on Sachin's 100s

 

If Sachin will get his 100th 100, then he will be left with no excuses and will be out of the team forever. That's why he is not getting his century which is obvious in the mannerism of his dismissals.

He also want his son to be selected in the national team till then he is not going to vacate the seat as now a days it is very tough to get into the playing eleven.

Hence, the SC and all his fans have to wait until the match scheduled against the team of Afghanistan or Baramuda or Bangladesh.

With regards

A verdict on Sachin's 100s

IN AN intriguing turn of events, the Supreme Court yesterday gave Sachin Tendulkar four months time, and set May 31 as deadline to 'accomplish his 100 international hundreds', failing which 'all his records will stand cancelled'.

A two-member bench of the Supreme Court passed the verdict in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a clutch of Indian cricket fans, who had moved the apex court complaining that they had to sit through Tests that had double centuries by Alaistair Cook in England, Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting in Australia in the hope that Tendulkar would get that world record of 100 international hundreds.

"Not only we faced the mortification of Tendulkar not getting to that world record, but we also had to endure mind-numbing phases of Test cricket, which are those dull moments when after a batsman hits a four there are no replays of the cheerleaders gyrating gaily," the fans said in their plea.

"The 0-4 humiliation in the Tests at both England and Australia are not exactly humiliations for us, because, we used to follow the Indian football in the past. Anyway, winning and losing are everyday aspects of sport. But records aren't so."

"We chose to put ourselves through the grind of Test cricket solely in the hope that Tendulkar would get to that milestone so that we can high-five ourselves in the bar later," the fans said and added "the greatness of cricket is that it is a team sport that is played so that individual records can be created."

Accepting that there is prima facie merit in their plea, the two-member bench, comprising Justice RSVP Gangopadhyay and Justice ASAP Pyarelal, said "we cannot but come to the conclusion that Tendulkar, by not getting to that elusive 100th hundred, for one whole year now, was playing with the sentiments of cricket fans who are generally not used to the humiliation of watching Test cricket".

"Remember this is a country in which Hrishikesh Kanitkar is a bigger cricketing hero than Abid Ali," the court pointed out in a nuanced line.

Writing the order Justice Gangopadhyay said: "Creating a situation in which people are cruelly compelled to follow Test cricket is a Constitutional no-no. This court is also of the considered view that making people sit through Cook's innings is both heartless and heinous".

Allowing the plea, the court gave Tendulkar four months time and set May 31 as the deadline to accomplish the world record, "failing which all his other records would stand annulled".

The apex court, however, left it to a trial court to decide on the issue of whether to allow Sachin Tendulkar continue playing Test cricket.

Meanwhile, reacting to the verdict, sources close to Sachin Tendulkar said: "we feel vindicated. For, Sachin Tendulkar has been quite sad with the Test cricket player Sachin Tendulkar.

The BCCI, for its part, said that it would continue to back Tendulkar in his effort to get the world record. "He need not worry about the May 31 deadline. We will do everything possible, like organising a Test match series with Bangladesh."

'But if he can't get it even against Bangladesh, I think, we have no other go but to give Test match status to Honduras, which, for the record, does not have a cricket team, but has a few people who can identity a cricket bat," BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla pointed out.

Elsewhere, reacting to the verdict on Sachin Tendulkar, Press Council Chairman Markhandeya Khatju, in a press release, came down heavily on the Supreme Court for "wasting its time on frivolous subjects".

'Why is the Supreme Court giving a verdict when it can put its time to better use like reading P Sainath's articles, which we all know are denser and longer than typical court verdicts,' Khatju said and added 'at any rate, the Supreme Court is mediocre. I should know, as I have been part of it in the past'.

Janata Party president Subramaniam Swamy, filed an RTI application, seeking to know the real reason for India's debacle in Australia. (This is an edited version of a satire forwarded to our mail by Govind�
