2011-09-03T19:47:00.000+05:30

HOW TO
RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON
FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in some
particular order in a closed
room with an
open window.

Then send 4 or 5 candidates in
the room and close the door.

Leave them alone and come back
after 6 hours and then analyze
the situation.

If they are counting the
Bricks,
put them in the Accounts
Department.

If they are recounting them..
put them in Auditing .

If they have messed up the
whole place with the bricks,
put them in Engineering.

If they are arranging the
bricks in some strange order,
put them in Planning.

If they are throwing the
Bricks at each other,
put them in Operations ..

If they are sleeping,
put them in Security.

If they have broken the bricks
into pieces,
put them in Information
Technology.

If they are sitting idle,
Put them in Human Resources.

If they say they have tried
different combinations, yet
not a brick has
been moved, put them in Sales.

If they have already left for
the day,
put them in Marketing.

If they are staring out of the
window,
put them on Strategic
Planning.

And then last but not the least,
If they are talking to each
other and not a single brick
has been
moved,

Congratulate them and put them
In Top Management..

A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A WASTED DAY!!

Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a
mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes
vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do
this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though
one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm
actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

This conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're
always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along
the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on.
Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents
are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate
seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is
my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day,
all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used
to have.
This is to all the parents & their children out there.

Always respect parents..!!

TV vs Mobile !?!

2011-06-28T19:41:00.002+05:30

Wife is like a TV,
Girlfriend is like a MOBILE.

At home u watch TV,
But when u go out u take ur MOBILE.

No money, u stay home just watch TV,
Got money u change ur MOBILE.

Sometimes u enjoy TV,
But most of the time u play with ur MOBILE.

TV is free for life,
But for the MOBILE, if you don't pay, the services will be terminated.

TV is big, bulky and most of the time old, But the MOBILE is cute, slim, curvy and very portable.

Operational costs for TV is often acceptable, But for the MOBILE it is often high and demanding.

TV has a remote,
MOBILE doesn't.

Most importantly, MOBILE is a two-way communication (u talk and listen), But with the TV you MUST only listen (whether you want to or not).

Final Countdown

2011-04-01T18:21:00.000+05:30

With less than 18 hours remaining to the Final showdown between India and Srilanka. Two giants from asian continent fight for the title for the first time in the history of world cup. The whole nation is looking forward to the clash. Will this glory will be another feather to Sachin's career?. For the answer we need to wait till tomorrow night. But it is clear that it is going to be the "Clash of the titans".

Though India is having an home advantage. Lankans were comfortable in chasing throughout the tournament(except against pakistan). But indian team has an deep batting line-up. That can be a treat for the lankans. India looks in great form after thrashing aussies and pakistan in their last two matches.

Who ever wins tomorrow... "History repeats"

What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

2011-03-05T14:40:00.001+05:30

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

How to give a job-winning interview

How to give a Job Winning InterviewThe way to crack a job interview is not just by giving answers, but the ‘right’ answers. Here are some important tips on how to get it right

Create a strong resume. Build a compelling case on why you fit the job role:
The process of giving a job winning interview starts by forming a strong resume. A resume works as an entrance test to get an interview. A person’s resume should be concise and convey more in fewer words. For example, instead of saying, “I am an exceptional guitarist”, one can say, “I was the lead guitarist of an award winning rock band back in college”.

Do your primary research on your potential employer
Every recruiter expects you to have some basic knowledge about the organization and the industry that you are contemplating joining. Hence, it is advisable to do a primary research before going. After all, the employer has a lot of information about the applicant, so it’s only polite if the applicant evens the score.

Highlight your strengths & experience
During an interview it is important to highlight one’s strengths and experiences that appropriately fit the needs of the role. The employer will be assessing the interviewee’s fitment with the job role, and in order to respond appropriately, one needs to understand the specific needs and expertise relevant to the position one is applying for. Never criticize your current employer: There is a saying ‘whatever goes around, comes back,’ it is never helpful to criticize your current employer and cite that as one of the reasons for changing your job. You may be talking about your prospective employer the same way in the coming years. It is helpful to focus on the lack of challenges in current job fit not being in line with your career aspirations, want of greater responsibilities and the learning opportunities your new employer offers as some of the reasons for seeing a change.

Be confident
One should always remember to be fiercely confident, show willingness and enthusiasm for the job and appear as a genuine person who loves what he/she does.

Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
Before the critical day it is helpful to prepare by reading your resume critically, reading up your prospective employer and speaking to your consultant in detail about the job & employer. Remember opportunity knocks only once, better be prepared to interview with it.

Do you bathe when you bathe?

Do you bathe when you bathe?

EVERYDAY, early in the morning, a Zen Master asked his disciples: How many of you have bathed this morning? Almost all the disciples raise their hands dutifully. Next question: How many of you are aware you bathed when you did?

Not a single hand was raised.

Bathing is an act. Bathing with complete awareness that you are bathing is different. Today surely all of you must have bathed and all of you must have brushed your teeth. How many of you were aware of what you were doing when you did that?

When you brushed your teeth how many of you were aware that you were brushing your teeth? When you bathed how many of you were aware of the hot water on your body? Were you aware that your body was just getting ready after the bath, and your life was getting rejuvenated after the bath? How many of you were aware of all these things when they happened?

A small Zen story:

A king went to a Master, and asked: ‘Master how can I become enlightened? Tell me about all the practices you do. What did you do to become enlightened? Please teach me’. The Master says: ‘Oh! I eat when I eat; I sleep when I sleep. That is all I do’.
The king could not understand. The Master explained: ‘When I eat I only eat, I do not do anything else when I sleep I only sleep I do not do anything else’.

But what do we do? Recall how you eat. You will remember that you were watching TV or reading a magazine when you were eating. Or it could be that you were talking to someone or continuously thinking of something. If you were calm, sitting quietly and eating your wife would have been there to report some problems in the house.

So in one way or another, when you eat, your mind does everything else but focus on the food and eating. You do everything except eat.

You treat food with such scant respect. It is just a form of garbage that is stuffed through your mouth. That is why the food treats you like a garbage bag. It withholds its energy unless you become aware of what you eat. If you treat your food with respect and are aware of what you eat when you eat, wellness results.

This is true even when you sleep! When you sleep you do everything else except sleeping. Because, only when you sleep you dream, you have your nightmare and fear strokes. You then have disturbed sleep.

Catch yourself in the act. Become aware. That will set your inner transformation in motion.

From Mistakes We

Gain Wisdom

If you're feeling down and out

everything seems to be going wrong

don't tell yourself there's no hope

be determined and move along.

Life wasn't meant to be easy

God didn't intend it being that way

don't fret about yesterdays mistakes

just don't make them again today.

If the Wright brother's had given up

after their first airplane wouldn't fly

you couldn't enjoy scenic sights

from airliner's up in the sky.

From mistakes you gain wisdom

giving up would be wrong to do

if you think positive and find solutions

no one will be happier than you.

Will you ever understand me?

They have been married for two years. He loves literature and often posts his work on the net, but nobody ever reads them. He is also into photography and he handles their wedding photos. He loves her very much. Likewise with her. She has a quick temper and always bullies him. He is a gentleman and always gives in to her.

Today, she's being willful again.

Her: "Why can't you be the photographer for my friend's wedding? She promised she'd pay."
Him: "I don't have time that day."
Her: "Humph!"
Him: "Huh?"
Her: "Don't have time? Write less of those novels, and you will have all the time you need."
Him: "I... someone will definitely recognize my work some day."
Her: "Humph! I don't care, you'll have to do it for her!"
Him: "No."
Her: "Just this once?"
Him: "No."

Negotiation's broken. So, she gave the final warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..."

First day, she "withheld" the kitchen, bathroom, computer, refrigerator, television, hi-fi... Except the double bed, to show her "benevolence".

Of course, she has to sleep on it too. He didn't mind, as he still has some cash in his pockets.

Second day, she conducted a raid and removed everything from his pockets and warned, "Seek any external help, and you bear the consequences."

He's nervous now. That night, on the bed, he begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says. Until he agrees.

Third day, night. On the bed. He's lying on the bed, looking to one side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the other side.

Him: "We need to talk."
Her: "Unless it's about the wedding, forget it."
Him: "It's something very important."

She remains silent.

Him:"Let's get a divorce."
She did not believe her ears.
Him: "I got to know a girl."

She's totally angry, and wanted to hit him. But she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already felt wet. He took a photo out from his chest. Probably from his undershirt pocket, that's the only place she didn't go through yesterday. How careless.

Him: "She's a nice girl."
Her tears fell.

Him: "She has a good personality too."
She's heartbroken because he puts a photo of some other girl close to his heart.
Him: "She says that she'll support me fully in my pursue for literature after we got married."

She's very jealous because she said the same thing in the past.
Him: "She loves me truly."
She wishes to sit up and scream at him "Don't I?"
Him: "So, I think she won't force me to do something that I don't want to do."

She's thinking, but the rage won't subside.
Him: "Want to take a look at the photo I took for her?"
Her: "...!"

He brings the photo before her eyes. She's in a total rage, hits his hand away and leaves a burning slap on his face.

He sighs. She cries.
He puts the photo back to his pocket. She pulls her hand back under the blanket.

He turns off the light, and sleeps. She turns on the light, and sits up. He's asleep. She lost sleep. She regrets treating him the way she treated him.

She cried again, and thought about a lot of things. She wants to wake him up. She wants to have a intimate talk with him. She doesn't want to push him anymore. She stares at his chest. She wants to see how the girl looks.

She slips the photo out. She wanted to cry and she wanted to laugh.

It's a nicely taken photo. A photo he took for her. She bends down, and kissed him on his cheek.

He smiled. He was just pretending to be asleep.

"You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."

Rihanna Unfaithful Lyrics

2010-11-13T14:09:00.000+05:30

Story of my life, searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul ?cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

He's more than a man and this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
But clouds are rolling in because I'm gone again
And to him I just can't be true

Publish Post

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be a murderer

I feel it in the air as I'm doing my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss up on my cheek, he's here reluctantly
As if I'm gonna be out late

I say I won't be long just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know where I'm about to go
And we know it very well

?Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be a murderer

Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun
And put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore, anymore

And I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
And every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside

And I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be a murderer
A murderer, no no no
Yeah

The cycle of love

by Aarti Natarajan

Love is a beautiful feeling, even when it involves the fear of losing the person you love. As Tennyson wrote in In Memorium: “It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.”

EVER SINCE I can remember I had wanted to fall in love. And, not only fall in love, but fall in love with the right person. I wanted someone who would accept my faults and love me for who I am. I hopped from one relationship to another, each time being bitterly disappointed when my knight in shining amour turned out to be the opposite of what I expected and wanted. Finally, I decided that the elusive emotion of love wasn’t meant for me and I reconciled myself to the fact that I might never find my Mr Right. I should have known that God’s sense of humour is wicked, at the very least!

My first interaction with the person I fell in love with was explosive. We were working in the same company and I was his junior. One of my duties entailed transferring calls to him. Once he was on the phone and there were continuous calls coming for him. I was unable to see him, so I leant across my desk and called out to him, only to have him turn around and yell at me. I was so taken aback that I turned red and burst into tears. He had no choice but to come over and apologise, which I grudgingly accepted.

I think that guilt struck him some days later for he took my number and called me up one evening. It was supposed to be just one call but somehow they multiplied. I still remember how I used to go back home daily and crib to my mother that there was this one guy in office I couldn’t stand because he was always so stuck up. And, she used to look at me puzzled, wondering that if I couldn’t stand him how was it that I was talking to him for hours every evening. That was a question I couldn’t answer and didn’t even try to. And, neither did he.

As time passed, we realised that we were on the same wavelength, more so because both of us were trying to get out of destructive relationships at that time. Slowly from mutual dislike emerged a bond of empathy, which led to a lot of advice giving and taking and we started spending a lot of time together. He would come over every evening and we would sit together in his car, sip coffee and discuss the tumult of emotions our respective partners were putting us through. I still don’t know when this friendship blossomed into love - was it when I heard him talking about his girlfriend and felt the first arrow of jealousy prick me, or was it when I found myself waiting for his calls and visits?

I don’t know. And after three years of knowing him and two of loving him, it is still a mystery to me. When I look back now I wonder, was there actually a time when we didn’t know each other? I’m sure God must be having a good laugh for He brought me to the edge of despair before filling my life with sunshine.

This person is the joy of my life - he makes me laugh, he reduces me to tears, he still advises me and there are times when he even irritates me. But when I close my eyes at night, the one emotion that stays with me is the feeling of security that he gives me. We are not officially committed to each other, but some bonds don’t require a piece of paper. The union is already there, between our hearts and souls. And that I feel is above all rituals.

I don’t know what our future holds. His family is against me and being the only son he has a deep sense of responsibility towards them. Each day I wake up wondering whether this will be the day when I will lose him and each night I thank God for letting me share another day with him.

I got a very nice forward the other day. It said - when we were kids, we were eager to grow up and fall in love. Now that we are grown up we have realised that wounded knees were much better than broken hearts. But I would say, give me a broken heart any day, for even if I have to go through the agony of losing him, it will be worth it. For at least I had a chance to love him and be loved unconditionally by him. It’s not important to know if I will be with him 30 years from now, what’s important is that he makes me feel alive even for the 30 minutes that I spend with him. That is the biggest blessing I could ask for. The rest, as they say, is a bonus.

Hard workers...Don't miss this...

Hard workers...Don't miss this...
     Read It Completely.....

        An unwise investment!!!
        A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

        SON:   "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

        DAD:   "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.

        SON:   "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

        DAD:   "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

        SON:    "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

        DAD:    "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."

                     "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,

                     "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

         The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,

then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

        The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

        The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

        After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started
to think:

        Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the
door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

             "Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

         "No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.

             "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for."

        The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!"
He yelled.

        Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up
bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his
father.

               "Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

      "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

              "Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

        But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with
those who really
        matter to us, those close to our hearts.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family

MIDNIGHT TREK TO SKANDAGIRI

2010-09-26T21:41:00.001+05:30

        Skandagiri is one of the first names i had heard, ever since i started to
show any interest in trekking.As it was near to our college(SJCIT,
Chickaballur) and listening to some of my friends sharing their experience.
We decided to go. As we all know
"Dream without a plan is just a wish". So we had a plan to go there last month.
But bcoz of many reasons We couldn't.The only thing i knew was
"Dont kill the dream - execute it". So we all discussed and scheduled
for last week(2010/09/19).Finally the day came.
We were all excited bcoz it was the first time trek for most of us.
We had planned for midnight trek.I was expecting not more
than 12 members to join, but i was surprised to see 22 members

We all left from my friend room(in Chickaballapur) at 12:30 am.
It was dark and we were feeling chill.And we were on our way
to papapgni mutt(3 km from chickaballapur) which is the
starting point to skandagiri trek.After walking about an hour
and fifteen minutes we reached there by 1.45am. It took us few
minutes to relax and fulfill our thirsty.We started trekking
uphill by 2:00am. It was very dark and everyone started it
with full energy. As soon as we started to move forward we
were finding it difficult as we didnt had many torches with us.We had only
5 to 6 torch and we all sharing it and progressing toward hill.It was
just a matter of time before we started feeling the heat,everyone removed
there jackets as we moved further.Every one was tired and we all knew that
"A Champion is someone who gets up, even when he can't".So we decided to
take some rest and proceed.We took five such small breaks.All of us were
inexplicably tired, but still managed to drag on.We continued to move slowly
and it took two hours and fifteen minutes to reach the top.
                                                                                                                                                                                 We reached hill top by 4:15am.On reaching the top,None of us had the energy to
even stand and walk around. we just threw our bags and
sat down to catch our breaths. It was very cold.
And we all started wearing jackets to avoid the chill wind.
There were so many people in the hill top.None of us
were able to bear the cold, so we decided to have a camp fire.
All of us sat around it and was trying to get some heat from
the fire.Slowly the darkness started disappearing. All of us
hoping to see the sunrise.But we were not so lucky with a
lot of cloud and mist covered.we lost our hopes and were busy with getting
ourself heated.Around 6:40am, we heard people shouting, the clouds
started disappearing slowly. we were able to see the clear
blue sky.Finally we all able to catch the sun. This was awesome and worth
all the effort. We were busy in clicking few snaps and everyone was trying
out different attitude poses.After enjoying all these. we decided to descend
before it gets hot.

                                                                                                                                                                                      We started to descend by 7:15am. As the sun was out we were
feeling hot and it was much easier to get down.Many times
we slipped,but managed to keep balance. Took break to have
breakfast. We had carried some bread with us. We were
enjoying while getting down as everyone sharing funny
jokes and reached down by 8:30am.

All of us were damn tired and the only thought we had is to
get back home and jump on the bed. We managed to get "TT" and
came to chickaballapur by 9am.Then
We were glad that our plan worked well and everyone left thanking all
for accompanying such a wonderful trek.Then i went to hotel
along with my friend had some breakfast and left to bangalore
in bus.Reached home by around 1pm.

"I learned patience, perseverance and
dedication. Now i really know myself and i know my voice.
It's a voice of pain and victory".

                                                                                                                                                                                 This was my first trekking experience. It was good, exciting,
enjoying,learning experience."Memory is the diary that we all
carry about with us". And I hope this will remain
forever with me.

Lets see how many more will be explored in days to come. I just
hope that this will mark for us the beginning of many more treks.

Why Women Cry ?

2010-09-16T07:42:00.000+05:30

Why Women Cry

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

"When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,

yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry he! r husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

The Dreams

2010-09-04T07:41:00.000+05:30

The Dreams

A wonderful story for any age…..

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that that lit up her entire being.

She said, "Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.

"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.

She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and share a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throat and began: "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. "You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dean and don't even know it!" "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change."

"Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the years end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Remember, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY, GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

I miss her when she's not around
I hate her when she's there
I miss her when i feel so down
I hate her when she doesnt care
I miss her funny and weird jokes
I hate it when she picks on me
I miss her smile and gorgeous looks
I hate it when she scares me
I miss the times when we're still close
I hate it when i remember
I miss the laughs, the tears and more
I hate it coz I cant be there
I miss her now, I miss her more
I hate her now, tomorrow not sure
I miss her always and forever
I hate her always, but deep in my heart
I hate her never..
You have torn my world apart
I hate you
You stole from me what wasn't yours to take
I hate you
You laugh as I fell into the darkness of hell
I hate you
Your silence betrayed me in the hardest of ways
I hate you
You hold my heart in your hand I hate you
You hide from me and cast me out I hate you
You poured salt in the open wound
I hate you
You left me and loneliness filled my world
I hate you
But most of all
I hate you because I love you
I hate how I can't hate you
Most of all I hate myself
I hate myself because
I can never hate you
