The secret of success is constancy of purpose

A Tortoise and A Hare – Episode 2

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there’s no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted.

He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route.

The hare agreed. They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river.

The finishing line was a couple of kilometers on the other side of the river.

The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.

The moral of the story? First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency.

In an organization, if you are a good speaker, make sure you create opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior management to notice you.

If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of research, make a report and send it upstairs. Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement.
The story still hasn’t ended.

Making Decisions………..(Questions)

A group of children were playing near two railway
tracks, one still in use
while the other disused. Only one child played on
the disused track, the
rest on the operational track.

The train came, and you were just beside the track
interchange. You could
make the train change its course to the disused
track and saved most of
the kids. However, that would also mean the lone
child playing by the
disused track would be sacrificed.

Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let’s take a pause to think what kind of decision we
could make.

The moment you are in TENSION

cimai74 — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:47:57 +0000

The moment you are in tension
You will lose your attention
Then you are in total confusion and you’ll feel irritation
This may spoil your personal relation
Ultimately, you won’t get co-operation
And get things into complication
Then your BP may raise caution
And you may have to take medication
Why not try understanding the situation
And try to think about the solution
Many problems will be solved by discussion
Which will work out better in your profession
Don’t think it’s my free suggestion It is only for your prevention
If you understand my intention
You’ll never come again into tension!!!

Today Bee’s Story

A man was driving down the road and ran out of gas. Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window.

The bee said, ‘What seems to be the problem?’

‘I’m out of gas,’ the man replied.

The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out.

‘Try it now,’ said one bee.

The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. ‘Wow!’ the man exclaimed, ‘what did you put in my gas tank’?
The bee answered

Bee Pee

Benevolence

BENEVOLENCE, the desire to share one’s wealth, is the fourth great motivator. When the great steel magnate Andrew Carnegie died, his desk drawer we opened. Inside one of the drawers was a yellowed sheet of paper. On that slip of paper, dated from the time he was in his twenties, Carnegie has written the main goal for his life: “I am going to spend the first half of my life accumulating money. I am going to spend the half of my life giving it all away”
You know what? Carnegie was so inspired by this that he accumulated 450 million dollars
(Which is equivalent to 4.5 billion dollars today!)? And, indeed, during the last part of his life
He had the joy of giving it all away.
