Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy
Make time to pray.
Play more games
Read more books than you did in 2009.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
Sleep for 7 hours.
Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality

Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don't over do. Keep your limits.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
Dream more while you are awake
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more..
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society

Call your family often.
Each day give something good to others.
Forgive everyone for everything..
Spend time w/ people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life

Do the right thing!
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
GOD heals everything.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change...
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
The best is yet to come..
When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Start Your Day With A Positive Note !!

2010-08-17T08:32:00.000+05:30

Don't go the way life takes you.

Take the life the way you go,

Remember you are born to live and

not living because you are born.

Some times Prayers doesnt change the situation,

but it changes our attitude towards situation,

& gives us the hopes which changes our entire Life.

Happiness always looks small if you hold it in your hands,

but when you learn to share it,

you will realize how big and precious it is.

If you want something you never had,

do something you have never done.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future.

It's something you design for the present.

Make each moment a happy one.

Have a nice day !!

We all want to fall in love. Why?

2010-08-16T13:30:00.000+05:30

Because that experience makes us feel completely alive.

It's where every sense is heightened,

every emotion is magnified,

our everyday reality is shattered and

we are flying into the heavens.

It may only last a moment,

an hour,

an afternoon

or forever.

But that doesn't diminish its value.

Because we are left with memories that

we treasure for the rest of our lives.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?!!

2010-08-08T19:40:00.001+05:30

This is hysterical. You have to try this. It is absolutely true..

I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds.

I could not believe this!

It is from an orthopaedic surgeon..... ........ This will confuse your mind and you will keep trying over And over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It is pre-programmed in your brain!

1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and makeclockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so! And there's nothing you can do about it!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

Send it to your friends to frustrate them too.

We live in a nation

Where Pizza reaches home faster than Ambulance & police,

Where you get car loan @ 5% and education loan @ 12%,

Where rice is Rs 40/- per kg but sim card is free,

Where a millionaire can buy a cricket team instead of donating the money to any charity,

Where the footwear, we wear, are sold in AC showrooms, but vegetables, that we eat, are sold on the footpath,

Where everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to follow the path to be famous,

Where we make lemon juices with artificial flavours and dish wash liquids with real lemon.

Where people are standing at tea stalls reading an article about child labor from a newspaper and say, "yaar bachhonse kaam karvane wale ko to phansi par chadha dena chahiye" and then they shout "Oye chhotu 2 chaii laao....."

There was a good old barber in Gurgaon . One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies:
I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community Service.
Florist is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is a "Thank You" Card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.

A Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber he again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is another "Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at his door.

A Engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the Barber

COMPANY POLICIES

2010-08-06T08:55:00.003+05:30

Company Policies

To All Employees,

The following company policies are effective immediately

HOLIDAYS:-

Each employee is entitled to 104 holidays. These will be called Saturday and Sunday.

SICK DAYS:-

A doctor’s sick note will no longer be accepted as proof of sickness. If you are able to get to the doctor, you are able to come into work.

SURGERY:-

Operations are banned. As long as you are employed here, you need all your organs. Do not consider having anything removed. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:-

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead relatives and friends. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled for the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your day's tasks are completed.

ABSENCE DUE TO YOUR OWN DEATH:-

This will be accepted as a reasonable excuse for absence. However, we require two weeks notice as you are expected to train your replacement.

TOILET USE (Very important):-

Too much core working time is being spent in the toilets. We will now follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For example: Employees whose names begin with ‘A’ will go from 8:00 to 8:20; employees whose names begin with ‘B’ will go from 8:20 to 8:40 and so on. Should you be unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may be able to swap their time with a co-worker. This must be approved in writing by both employees' supervisors.

In addition, there is a strict 3-minute time limit in the toilets. At the end of 3 minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper will retract, and the door will open.

LUNCH BREAK:-

Skinny people are entitled to one hour for lunch, since they need to eat more so they can look healthy. Normal size people get 30 minutes to maintain their average figure. Fat people get five minutes, since that's all the time required to drink a Slim-fast and take an appetite suppressing pill.

DRESS CODE:-

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. Should you wear fancy trainers or designer clothing, we will assume that you do not need a pay rise.

Thank you for your loyalty to the company. Our purpose is to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, complaints, concerns, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternations or input should be directed elsewhere.

Have a pleasant and productive day.

The Management

Have a nice time ahead.
