Brain Storm

Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I braced myself for some screaming and crying.

But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she gleefully shouted out, Wow!

I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me something.

Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with “Oh no, what should we do?” But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, “Wow, that’s interesting! How can I help you?”

One thing’s for sure – life’s always going to keep us off balance with its unexpected problems. That’s a given. What’s not preordained is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated.

No matter what the situation, “a fascinated Wow!” will always beat a frustrated “Oh, no”.

So the next time you experience one of life’s unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a “Wow!” experience. The “Wow!” response always works.

And Mr. George Bush – The So Called President of America is Crying That The Rise in Price of Food is Because of Indians. Coz, They are Consuming More and More Food Day By Day…

Let’s Spread This Message To Everyone And Especially To Mr. George Bush (If Anyone Have His Email ID) …

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside.

“See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful”

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son. “This guy seems to be a crack…” newly married Anup whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining… Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy “See dad, how beautiful the rain is…”

Anup’s wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.

Anup, “Can’t you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum… and don’t disturb public henceforth.”

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied, “We are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning, he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused…”

The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.

Very useful information. Hence sharing it with everybody here.

For all Firefox lovers, here is one simple trick I found regarding tab browsing. It enables you to do one cool thing and that is have more than one homepage.

To do so, simply open up the pages you want as homepages and put them into separate tabs.

When go to Tools > Options and click on the General button.

For homepage, you will see a button that says “Use Current Page(s)” (notice the plural).

Hit that button and you have just recorded all of those pages as your homepages.

Now whenever you click the Home button, all of those sites will load up.
