Learnings From DIWALI !

2007-11-08T08:30:00.000+05:30

Diwali !!! the festival of lights !!!

This is part 2 of my last post “Learnings from diwali”
I would suggest you to read my previous post before going through this, as they are interlinked with each other.

The lightings of multicoloured lamps suggest that, though we have different mentality of people in our family, together we gel well and diversity is the key to uniqueness..

The rangolis, drawn by lady members suggest that they are the key to the future, just as the visitor is happy before entering the home, seeing a rangoli. ART is their main FORTE and they can do it better than any one on this earth.

Firecrackers are burnt, they give away lights, while some give a deafening sound, other go high up in air to make a fantabulous scene. This shows that even if we have differences we should burn them apart and then see the further magic. It surely has a better light ahead.

Sharing the Firecrackers from elders is a unique sign, which shows that, elders are always ready to give away what they have and what they can for betterment of the future, the younger generation. And so, it rests upon us, how to take and use it to the best.

Meeting the business associates and taking the blessings of the older generation is like a thanks giving and making base for better progression of what we have at present. Sharing the JOY is like MULTIPLYING it many fold.

We (yes, including me) have been very myopic regarding the celebration of diwali and just kept in mind the celebration we had for the day or two. But the deep rooted motive should be passed on further. So just try and understand it to pass it on to the future.

Wish you all a very Happy Diwali..

Diwali !!! the festival of lights !!!

Yes, Diwali is the festival of lights and crackers !!
As a child and adolescent, I had always looked forward to Diwali, my favourite festival.

Not only firecrackers were the attraction, but also number of other things.

The lightings of multicoloured lamps and the lightening of firecrackers made it look like the most beautiful occasion on the earth.

The small candles and the beautiful rangoli’s drawn by sisters and bhabhis were an added attraction. They always gave a calm and soothing look, welcoming the visitors at home as well as at shop.

My Mother, the best cook in her own class, made wonderful sweets and the chatpatas, which I think was the main attraction of the Diwali.

My Father, always bought us the firecrackers which were equvi-distributed among we three siblings. He always accompanied us in the burning of crackers and keeping us safe. Though today he accompanies me in business and share his experiences and tricks of trade, those days were equally better as that of today.

As the only male child, I was out of crackers, sometimes even before Diwali and get that advantage of getting the crackers of my sisters to celebrate the main day of Diwali.

The worst thing that I hated was cleaning of my cupboard. That meant a gigantic task, which I thought should be done only once every decade:-)!! Still... no options on that, and had to do that.

On the occasion of Diwali and New year, now we follow the tradition of visiting the business associates, family members and friends (and their parents). And for some whom we cant meet, we have the facility of SMS’s and Super fast mails..

Also we distribute sweets and bonus to the workers on this holy occasion. As similar to all of you.

OOPS !!! with the flow of thought I forgot the main thing… the LEARNINGS from Diwali, but I feel good with it, lets keep the learning part from tomorrow. See you tomorrow on the same blog.

Till then wish you all a Happy Diwali.

The SEVEN WONDERS of HUMAN BEINGS !!!!

2007-11-06T08:00:00.000+05:30

The SEVEN WONDERS of HUMAN BEINGS !!!!

The secondary school students in Delhi were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Eifel Tower
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Statue of liberty
6. The Machu-picchu
7. The great wall of China

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, didn’t give her paper yet. So she asked the girl “ Do you have any trouble with your list??”

The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have thought of, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch...
2. to taste...
3. to see...
4. to hear...
5. to feel...
6. to laugh...
7. and to love.

The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.

This story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don't have to travel anywhere special to experience them.

Enjoy your gift called LIFE (Many gifts come with it as an add-on package)!!!

Keep Rocking!!

Newaz, the answer to my yesterdays question which was...

Something Extraordinary happened on May 6th 1978 at 12:34am what was that?

At that moment, the time, and day could be written as "12:34 5/6/78"

(date in english format)

Once in a life time for fewer. And yes never in lifetime of many. we Could see the same thing in the year 2078, If we survive.

November 2nd, 2007

HI friends,

Till date it was always me who got to screw up my brain and drain the blog.

Today lets change the roles. You just need to give me a simple answer and i will owe you fifty bucks.

Question:-

Something Extraordinary happened on May 6th 1978 at 12:34am what was that?

Time to reply with answer is 9pm tonite (IST)

Pick this up, its a life call!!!

Part II - What would you do if you had nothing to do??

2007-11-01T08:30:00.000+05:30

November 1st, 2007

Though I haven’t got any of your responses, but still I will not budge from my word. Will continue part II, of my previous post. I hope I need not repeat what I said earlier.

It’s an exercise meant to get you thinking about designing your life.

All our lives, we have been doing what comes our way or whatever we see our elders do. Even though we assume our lives to be completely in our control, but it isn’t so.
Actually the main problem with us (yes including me) is we do not exactly know what we want out of our lives. It isn’t that easy. Actually we are used to live simple and non complicated life. To think something out of box is a bizarre and also considered as taboo.

So we can just try to make some conscious effort to design our lives and lifestyles, isn’t it?

If you already are leading a very happy life and will do the same for life time, this might not be useful for you, but still you can give a shot to it to cross verify.

One of the simplest ways to do this is answering the questions, or might be the rejection is the best way for making a selection. (For making a question rejection type just replace $ with NOT.)

1. What’s $ important?
Asking yourself what is most important to you. What do you love doing? Who do you love spending time with? Make a short list of 4-5 things. Always remember, the best way to get things done is, clearly picturing what you want to achieve.

2. What’s $ your passion?
What do you love doing the most? Can it be a way you make your living? If you can make a career out of doing something you love, you will love your day. Dare to imagine that this could come true.

3. What’s $ your schedule?
Start with a blank page, and design your perfect day. Incorporate the short list of 4-5 most important things at the top, to ensure that you are spending your day doing what’s most important to you. Also include time spent working at your passion (from Question 2). Include an ideal routine, from morning till you go to bed.

4. What’s $ the way?
The path to reach your destiny, which you have decided can only be designed by you. It will serve as a blueprint to reach for building of your life. What changes would you need to make in your life to make that perfect day a reality? Be willing to consider drastic changes if necessary. Whatever time it takes, but you will surely reach destiny.

5. What changes you have $ made?
If we want future life to flourish, we have to make investment in present. Some things which are in your control can be bettered anytime, like the time to get off and on the bed, taking out time for your hobby and time for your family.

6. What is $ the end?
Keep a picture of your perfect day in the mind. This will lead like a benchmark. At the end of day compare and compel to strive ahead.

I am sure if we do this, there will be no idle time in our lives but our lives will become idols for all here on the earth.

This is the best way to do nothing and yet do everything. (Implication:- when we love to do something, we cannot be bored by doing that thing. It comes as a casual activity.)

Keep rocking.

What would you do, if you had nothing to do??

October 31st, 2007

Hi Friends!!!

We had always asked about how can we have a financial independence? How can I max my income and that I want to retire at age of 40..

Yes in today’s fast moving world, anything seems possible and within the ken of the common man. Even if you plan a holiday at moon in 2015 it seems possible to me, at least.

Still.., you have some targets and loads of desires to get on with today’s break-neck speed of life. You are……… oooooopps, We are very much accustomed to get the things done and every new day we have something in mind to get it done, even a little task.

Apart from this, the BUSY WORLD has snatched from us, our time from family and our interest areas and our hobbies. Just ask yourself honestly.. what do you do for yourself??? For bettering yourself and enjoyment? Do I really have any hobby??

I am sure many of us will get some strange answers from ourselves. Even I got it, when I tried this exercise.

So, with an intention to make a future life more pleasant and lively, I have divided this blog in 2 part series.

I know its too early to decide.., but give me some idea about WHAT WOULD YOU DO, IF YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO??

And tomorrow, I will share some handy tips. Which would help you to decide on what to do, when u have nothing to do in your life.

Awaiting some inputs from you readers,

Regards

9 Tips to improve the morning!!

2007-10-30T08:48:00.000+05:30

October 30th, 2007

Every morning you get up, it’s a new day and you want to make it better a new way!!! Isn’t it???

Yes, even I like to make it better and the best day of my life. So just thinking on it, thought some tips to improve the mornings, the best and the decider part of the day.

Just make your mornings best and the day will follow...

Here is how to do it:-

1. Last thing before going to bed, tidy up your room. You would never like to clean up your place in morning or see a mess, and start up your day.
2. Always keep keys, wallet, phone, etc. in there places. If you do not find them in morning, you will go mad and yelling at all in house.
3. Always, always, always make the bed.
4. Sing—even for just a minute—when you wake up.
5. Take a few minutes to stretch.
6. Read a good book or an inspiring article within 1st half hour of you getting up.
7. Finish your daily chores 10 mins before you leave and sit calm for those 10 mins.
8. Listen to your favourite music before leaving for your work. (You can do it on the way if you can avail that facility.)
9. The most important tip… follow the schedule for at least 21 days. Then u get addicted to it.

So just rock, and make your mornings more rejuvenating and rocking.

Make yours and others lives more better and experience the difference.

Regards
Tushar.

Every one of us is well aware of and is a consumer of Microsoft. We use MS Office, windows, internet explorer and Media player from this company. But here is the realty behind it.

“Schools should not sign software licensing deals with Microsoft because of the computer giant's alleged anti-competitive practices.”
- British Educational and Technological Agency (BECTA)
The BECTA has complained to the Office of Fair Trading, saying talks have not resolved its "fundamental concerns" about academic licensing of the company's Windows Office 2007 and Vista operating systems.
Thousands of schools already use Microsoft software but BECTA claims that new licensing arrangements are too restrictive.

Microsoft insists that schools pay for a licence for every PC on the premises which might use its software, regardless of whether teachers plan to do so at the time of signing a contract. Whereas, generally the school edition is always comprehensive of all the PCs and there is no recurring cost after initial outlay.

Previously

The European Commission's decision is to fine Microsoft a record £343m for using the dominance of its Windows operating system to stifle the progress of its competitors. After a nine-year legal battle, the US computer giant may now have to concede defeat and comply fully with the demands from Brussels.

The commission found the software company guilty of using its strength to gain an unfair advantage over its competitors in two ways.

1 It was found to be using its dominant Windows operating system to force its software packages such as Media Player on to PC users, stifling the progress of competing products, such as RealNetworks' RealPlayer or Apple's QuickTime player.

2 The commission concluded that Microsoft was not providing rivals with the information necessary for them to develop software compatible with its Windows operating systems.

It was later criticised for charging its rivals too much for the information. Microsoft also racked up a fine of £195m last year for ignoring this EU's 2004 judgment.

What shall you sow, so shall you reap!!

IF you want an apple, why would you sow a cactus in the soil.??

Soil has a beautiful quality of reaping whatever comes to it. Its neutral to all, just like our mothers. She is equivocal for all her kids.

Anecdote

A baker in a little countryside town bought the butter he used from a nearby farmer (who is also made some dairy products). One day he suspected that the brick of butter were not full 500gms, and for several days he weighed them.

He was right. They were short of weight, and he had the farmer arrested for this.

At the trial the judge said to the farmer, "I presume you have standard weights?"

"No, your honor."

"Then how do you manage to weigh the butter you sell?" inquired the judge.

The farmer replied, "That's easily explained, your honor. I have balances and for a weight (tarazu in hindi) I use a 500gms of bread-loaf I buy from the baker."

World is a reactive place. As the law of Newton says:-

“For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction”

Same applies to life. When you want to get 100% output, how can you rely on 90% input.?

India Marching ahead of world.

THERE IS some good news for the Indians as the International Institute for Environment and Development, a UK-based policy research non-governmental body released a report featuring as many as 11 Indian cities, which have made it into the list of 100 fastest growing cities in the world.

Faridabad picked up the sixth position, followed by Durg-Bhilai in Chhattisgarh, which is known for a massive steel plan.

Even emerging cities like Guwahati, Bhopal, Aurangabad, Surat, Dhanbad, Visakhapatnam and Asansol have found a place in the list. And of course, there is Ghaziabad, another city in the National Capital Region.

India is just next to China in this list of upcoming cities. The report also says, “if China and India continue to enjoy economic success, they may have larger urban populations in 2020 than those predicted by the United Nations.”

If we look back in time, we will see that the richest nations have had the highest number of urban population.

Interestingly, the balance has tilted of late. Now, Africa has more people living in urban areas than North America. Reason behind this is simple: people have now become more conscious regarding their socio-economical status. With amazing advancement in science and technology, easy access to mobile and Internet, people know about anything and everything in a matter of seconds.

10 Rules for the Good Life !!!

2007-10-25T08:52:00.000+05:30

October 25th, 2007

Life has been a very good journey for me till now. It had taken me from roads and places where I never thought I would have been.

Here is what have been learned and adapted from a beautiful write up by Mr. Thomas Jefferson, useful for all of us.

10 Rules for the Good Life

+Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

+Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.

+Never spend your money before you have it.

+Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap; it
will never be dear to you.

+Pride/Ego costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.

+Never repent of having eaten too little.

+Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.

+Don't let the evils which have never happened cost you pain.

+Always take things by their smooth handle.

+When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, count to one hundred.

An Anecdote,

A little child was playing one day with a very valuable vase. He put his hand into it and could not withdraw it. His father too, tried his best, but all in vain. They were thinking of breaking the vase when the father said, "Now, my son, make one more try. Open your hand and hold your fingers out straight as you see me doing, and then pull."

To their astonishment the little fellow said, "O no, father. I couldn't put my fingers out like that, because if I did I would drop my penny."

See you are smiling now!!! Isn’t it???

We, like that innocent little boy who are holding the world’s worthless belongings.

Just give up with the worthless things in the world, it would surely make a difference. See the bigger picture and not the small gains. Not only you, but even others get happy when they see u free. Just as the Dad was happy seeing his child free from the Vase.

LIFE doesn’t come with instruction manual!!!

October 23rd, 2007

"I Wished I knew this and quick fix the problem I am facing right now!!!!" a daily comment.

Our life is full of commitments and the goals about the things we want to acquire. We prefer different ways to achieve similar goals. These goals, whether financial independence, achieving desired results or making a difference in the world where we exist are self made.

Some one or the other, may be responsible for inspiring us and then to guide us. But it is us who decides about it.

The life, which is a journey through the roads of hurdles and obstacles makes us the better person from yesterday.

AS said earlier, LIFE doesn’t come with instruction manual and troubleshooting steps. We take the decisions and then learn from the experiences. That makes our Manual and the trouble shooter.

But, if we stop experimenting and learning, we land nowhere. AS said by wise men, “THE DAY YOU STOP LEARNING, YOU ARE DEAD”

Make your own manual!!!!

October 22nd, 2007

Dear Readers,

WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY DASERA!!!

Before we go further, let us know why is Dassehra celebrated. And for this post I think its necessary to know it before hand.

The festival of Dassehra, also known as Vijayadashmi, is one of the fascinating festivals of India and is celebrated with joy and enthusiasm. According to the great Hindu scripture and Mythology, the Ramayana, Lord Rama performed chandi-puja (holy prayer). This was carried out in order to invoke the blessings of Durga Maa for the killing of Ravana, the ten-headed demon king of Sri Lanka who had abducted Seeta, wife of Lord Rama.

Durga Maa narrated the secret to Rama on how he could slay the great Ravana. Hence upon vanquishing the demon Ravana, Lord Rama with Sita and younger brother Laxmana, returned victorious to his kingdom of Ayodhya on the day which is called 'Diwali'. Revelers across northern India re-enact the legend at sundown in a performance called the Ramlila, featuring actors dressed as Rama shooting flaming arrows at effigies stuffed with firecrackers.

NOW WHAT I EXPERIENCED Recetly:-

As per the scriptures RAVANA was the villain in the story, whereas the RAM is the HERO.

Today, when we recall of the Dassehra day we always recall the fireworks and the lighting sky. People, or I should say hordes of people gather to see the effigy of Ravana burn. Even I did see it. And follwing are some comments I heard in the crowd, making it a thought evoking thing”

A Small boy maybe 6-7 yrs says to his mom; “ Ravana must have been hero, his statue is far much bigger than Rama at the temple near our home”.

Another Kid asking his father,” DAD why are we here??” and he gets the reply “To see the FIREWORKS”

Still another girl asks his cousin “hey bro!! Ravana seems more important than Rama, we and almost 5k people are here 2 hours before, and seeing the initial fireworks which seems good. WE never took so long even to have DARSHAN of lord RAMA at the temple next to our home.”

Isn’t it a CONTRADICTION ???

DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THEM ALL??

Information superhighway, Newspapers, Magazines, Flyers, Phone calls, Sms’s and what not????

In this speeding world of information technology, we have various sources of information, which keep on piling on us. No doubt they are wonderful and the best in its own kind, also beneficial in some way or the other.

But an important question arises, DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT INFORMATION???

Being a voracious reader, reading anything and piling up, without actually having use of it is a dangerous thing to do. It is as good as swallowing loads of food and not chewing it. Even if you have half of what you swallow by chewing, the purpose is served.

Time is non-renewable resource. You can either invest it or spend it. The better you invest the more you get returns and the more you spend, the lesser in pot remains for you.

Some Reading tips:-

1. Ask yourself before reading, Do I really need to read this??

2. Make a list of pleasure reading and useful reading. Useful reading (Inspirational books should be done at the most productive time of the day, and the pleasure reading (magazines and newspapers) at the spare time (commuting, hearing to music or sitting with family seeing the idiot box.

3. Go on NEWS FASTING. Try to leave the local newspaper for 7 days at a stretch, and then see what did you miss out. After that you would be able to rate what to read and what to leave at newspapers.

4. Do not complete whatever you read. You can leave them in between if u feel it isn’t worthy. (even I find it difficult, but trying to better it)

5. Lastly, clear your Cupboard every fortnightly. Do not keep on piling the materials, read it and let it go away. If you feel it’s important and that might be useful, file it. Have different file for all your matters.

Still you must be having many more, if possible, share them with other readers of this Blog.

And yes CONGRATULATIONS to all the visitors of the Blog!!! We complete 250 hits on this Blog, even before a month ( or say less than 25 posts)

Frustrated???

2007-10-19T08:39:00.001+05:30

October 19th, 2007

Yes, in today’s cut throat competition we do face various things, and give inputs every now and then. The destiny seems to be farther than ever and we think we need to travel more. The mankind in which we exist, was tried to make simpler with the inventions and the discoveries, but in fact, they have created more aspirations and further frustrations and also the source of inspiration the mankind.

As the cause and effect relationship, frustration leads to new invention as a new source of income and in return, the hunger for material things grows on. The Hunger again goes on to create frustration, bringing out the best in humans.

But during the process, the important part of frustration is wasted. More than 70% of frustration is wasted out in an unproductive or silly way.

As said by noted men “ENERGY can neither be created NOR be destroyed, it only transforms from one type to another”. Same is the case with frustration, when we don’t transform it in a productive type, it gets wasted and transforms in a filthy acting energy.

UTILISE FRUSTRATION:-

We have frustration that, we should have done it this way, or the other. But practically this did not happen.

The best way to utilise frustration is to simplify the things, instead of making it complicated and SHOWING OFF.

Other best way to route frustration is to engage in some physical activity like any sport, jogging or weight lifting. They bring out the best performances in us and also we develop the skills for the sport.

There might be still many of it..
Would you like to suggest some?? Do comment on this, so it helps the other readers.

WHAT’S YOUR STORY?

2007-10-18T08:59:00.000+05:30

October 18th, 2007

Why do I say story and narrate a fiction??? Does that serve the purpose and are we small kids to hear and tell stories??? These are the common question arising in everybody’s mind.

Yes, Story does serve the purpose. And even this is true that we are always lead by the examples and they carry us towards the goals we perceive.

Did you ever give a thought, why we had some stories in English, Hindi and Marathi Languages at schools. The happenings, which are a part of our day to day lives, become the stories for life.

Some benefits of Stories:-

+ Kids get to know about the happenings and what the world is all about.

+ Impact:- Often Good Stories are narrated to kids at night, as Science has proved, the things which are told before sleeping has an PROCESSING effect at night, and they get instilled in ones mind forever.

+ Young generations do not want to believe Mythologies and some supernatural things. They want some thing that can actually go through and happen. Stories serve the purpose. Youngsters go ahead getting ready to face situations for their goal achievement.

+ Older Humans have seen the world, and at the end of their working age, they loose all the motivations and inspirations. Stories lead by examples and inject a fascination for their hobbies and likings.

Still don’t believe me….. here’s what experts say…

Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.
~Robert McKee

Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.
~Hannah Arendt

Don’t say the old lady screamed—bring her on and let her scream.
~Mark Twain

Stories are the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal.
~Howard Gardner, Harvard University

Stories tell us of what we already knew and forgot, and remind us of what we haven’t yet imagined.
~Anne Watson

You have to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between truth and a human being is a story.
~Anthony de Mello

Lets see its definition 1st.
Entrepreneur:-One who undertakes a commercial venture.

A lot of young aspirants ask this question: Why should I become an entrepreneur? Is it worth all the trouble of going through hardships and uncertainties of starting my own business? What if I fail?

Here are the top reasons according to me why you should be an entrepreneur:

1. The number one top reason is also the reason why most of us are afraid to be an entrepreneur. To experience the uncertain journey on Entrepreneurship. You have one short life, and if you do not give a shot at it, you are missing out on a great experience. As always said, journey is more enjoyable than destination.

2. To bring out the inner strength within yourself, which is rooted deep inside somewhere. That reserve of strength will bring out a new and confident you.

3. To value your own skills and strengths, instead of giving off cheaply by working for someone else.

4. To be an inspiration and example for others. Even if you inspire one individual, it is worth the pain (of course with other benefits included in it.)

5. To be creative. Yes, when you walk on the entrepreneurship path, the creative side of yours will surface in most unexpected ways.

6. To make a difference in lives of others. When you are an entrepreneur you will have the power of making a difference in the life of your employees, friends and customers.

7. To be happy. To love life and to love self. If you don’t work for 6 days a week, you will not value the day called SUNDAY. The harder you work, the harder you party and vice-versa.

8. And finally, to create wealth. Yes, this is important, but it is the last reason. All the above 7 reasons will give you much more satisfaction than this 8th reason.

So??? What are you waiting for?? Go ahead and look what will your enterprise be?
Enjoy the “ENTREPRENEURSHIP”

The OBSTACLES in your ROAD!!!

Once upon a time, there lived a very wise king in the state, what is now called as Madhya Pradesh. He had thought of an wonderful idea to judge his people and the courtiers.

The king had placed a heavy rock on the roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.

Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the rock, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.

As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the rock had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the rock-barrier from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

MORAL

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition. So try to solve a problem than just jumping from it. The wisest lesson from the life comes from trying to solve something.

Give a shot to it, maybe even though we are not able to solve the problem, we learn something useful in life.

What WORTH ARE YOU???

Its Crap man!!! I have done shit of my life!!! I am not even worth a penny!!! I have ruined it all after this failed venture!!!

Very often we think the same after our failures… isn’t it??? Yes its Human (to err is to human). But hold on.. Read the following and then you would realise what WORTH are you??

Anecdote.

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rs. 500 note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like to have this Rs. 500 note?"
Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this rs. 500 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple that Rs. 500 note.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rs. 500. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don't ever forget it!
So just go out and try to make a difference in your own way.
Give a shot to it, it will not decrease your value.
