There was a mail forward about a young man who was unhappy. Makes so much of a sense….
The old Master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.
“How does it taste?” the Master asked.
“Awful,” spat the apprentice. Read the rest of this entry »
Who is the luckiest?

When we were kids we learn’t a trick, how does one line get smaller without erasing it? Just draw a bigger line next to it. Today I saw something so great that I got smaller.

I just happen to watch Evan Almighty. It is story out of the bible. But the underlying concept is real magical. It conveys a few very strong beliefs which drive this universe.

Some times you hear a sentence which gets you pondering. I was watching Wallstreet, and there was a dialogue “Every battle is war before it is fought”. What an amazing thoughts, you can generate a lot of thought out of this. But this actually originated from Sun Tzu’s “The art of war” written hundred’s of year’s before the birth of Christ, bigger astonishment comes when all these ‘Strategies’ for the war is directly applicable to business today.
