Customer: Waiter!

Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?

Customer: There's a fly in my soup!

Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.

Customer: No, it's still there.

Waiter: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead.

Customer: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.

Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?

Customer: A SOUP bowl!

Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?
Customer: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?

Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?

Customer: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!

Seven Deadly Act After Meal

DON'T DO THE 7 ACTIONS BELOW AFTER YOU HAVE A MEAL ...

* Don't smoke immediately - Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

* Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

* Don't drink tea immediately - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

* Don't loosen your belt immediately - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

* Don't bathe immediately - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

* Don't walk about immediately - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Golden Rules for Career Success

• Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to ask.
• Never bring your boss a problem without some solution.
• You are getting paid to think, not to whine.
• Long hours don't mean anything; results count, not effort.
• Write down ideas; they get lost, like good pens.
• Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your boss.
• Help other people network for jobs. You never know when your turn Will come.
• Don't take days off sick-unless you are.
• Know when you do your best-morning, night, under pressure, relaxed; schedule and prioritize your work accordingly.
• Treat everyone who works in the organization with respect and dignity, whether it be the cleaner or the managing director.
• Never appear stressed in front of a customer or your boss.
• Take a deep breath and ask yourself: In the course of human events, how important is this?
• If you get the entrepreneurial urge, visit someone who has his own business. It may cure you.
• Acknowledging someone else's contribution will repay you doubly.
• Career planning is an oxymoron. The most exciting opportunities tend to be unplanned.
• Always choose to do what you'll remember ten years from now.
• Understand what finished work looks like and deliver your work only when it is finished.
• The person who spends all of his or her time is not hard-working; he/she is boring.
• Know how to write business letters-including thank-you notes as well as proposals.
• Eliminate guilt. Don't fiddle expenses, taxes or benefits, and don't cheat colleagues.
• Job security does not exist. Always have an answer to the question, "What would I do if I lost my job tomorrow?"
• Avoid working at weekends. Work longer during the week if you have to.
• The most successful people in business are interesting.
• Sometimes you'll be on a winning streak and everything will click; take maximum advantage.
• When the opposite is true, hold steady and wait it out.
• Never in your life say, "It's not my job."
• Be loyal to your career, your interests and yourself.
• Understand the skills and abilities that set you apart.
• Use them whenever you have an opportunity.
• People remember the end of the project. As they say in boxing, "Always finish stronger than you start."

Just A Story ...

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.
في قديم الزمان ... كان هناك شجرة تفاح ضخمة ...
A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday.
و كان هناك طفل صغير يلعب حول هذه الشجرة كل يوم ...
He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow...
كان يتسلق أغصان الشجرة ويأكل من ثمارها ... ثم يغفو قليلا لينام في ظلها ...
He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
كان يحب الشجرة وكانت الشجرة تحب أن تلعب معه ...
Time went by...the little boy had grown up,
مر الزمن... وكبر الطفل...
And he no longer played around the tree every day.
وأصبح لا يلعب حول الشجرة كل يوم...
One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.
في يوم من الأيام ... رجع الصبي وكان حزينا!
"Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.
فقالت له الشجرة: تعال والعب معي ...
"I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more"
The boy replied.
فأجابها الولد: لم أعد صغيرا لألعب حولك...
"I want toys. I need money to buy them."
أنا أريد بعض اللعب وأحتاج بعض النقود لشرائها...
"Sorry, but I do not have money...
فأجابته الشجرة: أنا لا يوجد معي نقود!!!
But you can pick all my apples and sell them.
So, you will have money.
ولكن يمكنك أن تأخذ كل التفاح الذي لدي لتبيعه ثم تحصل على النقود التي تريدها...
" The boy was so excited.
الولد كان سعيدا للغاية...
He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.
فتسلق الشجرة وجمع كل ثمار التفاح التي عليها وغادر سعيدا ...
The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
لم يعد الولد بعدها ...
The tree was sad.
فأصبحت الشجرة حزينة ...
One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned
وذات يوم عاد الولد ولكنه أصبح رجلا...!!!
And the tree was excited "Come and play with me" the tree said.
كانت الشجرة في منتهى السعادة لعودته وقالت له: تعال والعب معي...
"I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family.
ولكنه أجابها:
لا يوجد وقت لدي للعب .. فقد أصبحت رجلا مسئولا عن عائلة...
We need a house for shelter.
ونحتاج لبيت يأوينا...
Can you help me?
هل يمكنك مساعدتي ؟
" Sorry”,
آسفة!!
I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches
To build your house.
فأنا ليس عندي بيت ولكن يمكنك أن تأخذ جميع أغصاني لتبني بها بيتا لك...
" So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
فأخذ الرجل كل الأغصان وغادر وهو سعيد...
The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then.
كانت الشجرة مسرورة لرؤيته سعيدا... لكن الرجل لم يعد إليها ...
The tree was again lonely and sad.
فأصبحت الشجرة وحيدة و حزينة مرة أخرى...
One hot summer day,
وفي يوم حار من ايام الصيف...
The man returned and the tree was delighted.
عاد الرجل.. وكانت الشجرة في منتهى السعادة..
"Come and play with me!" the tree said.
فقالت له الشجرة: تعال والعب معي...
"I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself.
فقال لها الرجل لقد تقدمت في السن.. وأريد أن أبحر لأي مكان لأرتاح...
“Can you give me a boat?"
“Said the man”.
فقال لها الرجل: هل يمكنك إعطائي مركبا..
"Use my trunk to build your boat.
You can sail far away and be happy.
فأجابته: خذ جذعي لبناء مركب... وبعدها يمكنك أن تبحر به بعيدا ... وتكون سعيدا...
" So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat.
فقطع الرجل جذع الشجرة وصنع مركبا!!
He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
فسافر مبحرا ولم يعد لمدة طويلة..
Finally, the man returned after many years.
أخيرا عاد الرجل بعد غياب طويل ........
"Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore.
ولكن الشجرة قالت له: آسفة يا بني.. لم يعد عندي أي شئ أعطيه لك..
No more apples for you...
" The tree said”.
وقالت له: لا يوجد تفاح...
"No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite
" The man replied.
قال لها: لا عليك لم يعد عندي أي أسنان لأقضمها بها...
"No more trunk for you to climb on"
لم يعد عندي جذع لتتسلقه..
"I am too old for that now" the man said.
فأجابها الرجل لقد أصبحت عجوزا ولا أستطيع القيام بذلك!!
"I really cannot give you anything...
قالت: أنا فعلا لا يوجد لدي ما أعطيه لك...
The only thing left is my dying root,”
The tree said with tears.
قالت وهي تبكي.. كل ما تبقى لدي جذور ميتة...
"I do not need much now, just a place to rest.
فأجابها: كل ما أحتاجه الآن هو مكان لأستريح فيه..
I am tired after all these years" the man replied.
فأنا متعب بعد كل هذه السنين...
"Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest,
فأجابته: جذور الشجرة العجوز هي أنسب مكان لك للراحة...
Come, come sit down with me and rest.
تعال ... تعال واجلس معي لتستريح ...
" The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...
جلس الرجل إليها.. كانت الشجرة سعيدة.. تبسمت والدموع تملأ عينيها...

This is you and the tree is your parents!!!
هل تعرف من هي هذه الشجرة؟
إنها أبويك!!

“Love your Parents”

"Losing Your Temper Can Delay Healing"

Do you lose your temper or get irritated often?

It's high time that you try to become a cool person. A new study has found that anger, which is known to blow out the light of reason, can delay healing too.
A team of researchers has found that being unable to control and vent anger can harm the process of healing a wound.
The researchers analysed around 100 participants who had agreed to receive standardised blister wounds, inflicted by a vacuum pump on their non-dominant forearm. After blistering, the wounds were monitored daily for eight days to access the speed of repair. The secretion of the stress hormone cortisol was also measured during blistering to evaluate the role of this hormone in the healing process.
Anger control was assessed using a standard scale and the participants were categorised as slow healers if they took more than four days to heal the standardised wound. Taking into account potential confounding factors, people with low control over the expression of their anger were 4.2 times more likely to take more than four days to heal.

Good To Know .. A True Incident ...

A 10 year old boy, had eaten pineapple and fell sick from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done, doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS.
His parents couldn't believe it...
Then the entire family under went a Checkup... None of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out... The boy said "yes". He had pineapple
that evening. Immediately a group from Mallya hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger. While cutting the pineapple, his blood had spread into the fruit. When they had his blood checked, the guy was suffering from AIDS .....
But, he himself was NOT aware... Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it now...

DO NOT REUSE MINERAL WATER BOTTLES !!!

Many are unaware of poisoning caused by re-using plastic bottles.

Some of you may be in the habit of using and re-using your disposable mineral water bottles (e.g. Nestle, Bisleri, Aquafina, Kinley, Evian, etc...), keeping them in your car or at work.
Not a good idea.

It happened in Dubai, when a 12 year old girl died after a long usage (16 months) of SAFA mineral water bottle, as she used to carry the same fancy (painted by herself) bottle to her school daily. In a nutshell, the plastic (called polyethylene terephthalate or PET) used
in these bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element
(something called Diethyl-hydroxylamine or DEHA). The bottles are safe for one time use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, week max, and keep them away from heat as well.
Repeated washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to break down and the carcinogens (cancer-causing chemical agents) can leak into the water that YOU are drinking. Better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses. This is not something we should
be scrimping on.

Those of you with family - do please advise them, especially children.

This is a special ! warning for families in India who hang on to these disposable bottles and use them for cold water in their fridges for ages.
When a bottle looks a bit yellow - please get rid of it as a precaution.
