कॉफी का सांडली...?

एक रोचक आणि विचार करायला लावणारा विचार माझ्या वाचनात आला.

असे एक दृष्य डोळ्यांसमोर आणा कि तुम्ही कॉफी घेत बसलेला आहात.
तुमच्या मागुन अचानक कोणीतरी येतो आणि तो तुमच्या पाठीवर थाप मारतो किंवा तुमच्या मागुन जाता जाता तुम्हाला त्याचा धक्का लागतो.
त्यामुळे
तुमच्या हातात असलेल्या कपातील कॉफी डुचमळते आणि सांडते….

आता मला सांगा तुमच्या कपातील कॉफी का सांडली…?

तुम्ही मनात म्हणाल काय मुर्खासारखा प्रश्न विचारतो आहे….
आणि तुम्ही उत्तर द्याल,
” का सांडली म्हणजे काय…?
त्या माणसाने मला धक्का मारला किंवा त्याचा मला धक्का लागला म्हणुन माझ्या कपातील कॉफी सांडली… अजून काय..?"

आता बाळबोध विचारानुसार तुम्ही अगदी बरोबर सांगीतलेत… पण नाही, तुमचे उत्तर चुकिचे आहे…

कसे……??

अहो, तुमच्या कपामध्ये कॉफी होती म्हणून कॉफी सांडली…
त्यात जर चहा किंवा दुध असते तर कॉफी सांडली असती का..? नाही ना..?
म्हणून तुमचे उत्तर चूकिचे होते…

माझ्या कपात कॉफी होती म्हणून कॉफी सांडली,
असे उत्तर असायला हवे होते…? Very Simple Logic..

तुम्ही म्हणाल काय विचीत्र लॉजिक आहे… 
नाही विचीत्र नाही..
याच घटनेची आपल्या रोजच्या आयुष्याशी सांगड घालून बघा..
कपाच्या आंत जे आहे तेच सांडत असतं हे लक्षात येईल तुमच्या..
.
.
जेव्हा आयुष्य अशा काही घटनांनी आपल्याला हलवतं तेव्हा जे आपल्या मनात असतं त्याप्रमाणेच आपली रिएक्शन बाहेर येते..

तेव्हा आपणच आपल्या मनाला विचारायला हवे…
बाबा, काय आहे रे तुझ्या कपात..?
आनंद, 
कृतज्ञता,
शांती,
प्रेम,
नम्रता…?

की

क्रोध,
कटुता,
द्वेष,
असुया,
कठोर शब्द…..?

एकदा हे आपलं आपल्यालाच कळलं की उमजेल,
धक्का लागला की काय बाहेर येतं ते….!!!

मग आता निवडा
आता आपल्या कपात
खरच काय असायला हवे ते…
ठरवूयात  🙏

My Maid Made Me Realize The Value Of Money!

A lady to her husband: Avoid giving too many clothes for laundry.

Husband: What happened?

Wife: The maid won’t be coming for work for a couple of days.
 
Husband: Why?

Wife: She’s going to see her granddaughter over to her daughters place over the Ganesh Chaturthi holidays.

Husband: Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.

Wife: Before I forget, how about we offer her a festive bonus? Rs. 500?

Husband: But why? Diwali is around the corner, why don’t we just give her the money then?

Wife: Oh, no… She’s a poor lady, works as a domestic help. She’s going to see her daughter. With her meagre income, how would she be able to enjoy a good holiday? Poor thing!

Husband: There you go! Getting overly sentimental again!

Wife: Don’t worry about the money; let’s cancel our plan for pizza for dinner tonight. No point wasting money over eight slices of stale bread.

Husband: Great! So now we have to give up on our pizza night so the maid can get a bonus?!

Three days later, when the maid is back at work, the lady’s husband asked her.

Husband: So, how was your holiday?

Maid: It was wonderful, sir. Didi had given me 500 as a festive bonus that added to the joy.

Husband: I heard you went over to your daughters place. Met your granddaughter?

Maid: Yes, sir. I had such a great time. We spent 500, all of it in just two days.

Husband: What did you buy with that money?

Maid: I bought my granddaughter a shirt for Rs. 150 and a doll for Rs. 40, sweets for my daughter and to offer at the temple for Rs. 50, each, spent Rs. 60 on the rent, bought my daughter bangles for Rs. 25, and a nice belt for my son in law for Rs. 50. We spent the rest of the money buying notebooks and stationery for my granddaughter.

Husband: All that for Rs. 500?

In a shocked state he started thinking and seeing pizza in his head.

Each piece of the pizza started buzzing in his head. He started comparing the pizza’s price with the maid’s festive expenses over her family.

He started imagining each piece of the pizza as different things she bought for her family like kids dress, sweets, rent, the bangles she bought, the belt she bought for her son in law, the books and pencil she bought.

He had only imagined the delicious part of the pizza, he had never thought of the other plain and dry part of it and today because of his maid he could understand the other part of the coin or the pizza. A simple 8 pieced pizza taught some reality of life.

This incident made him realize the meaning of “Spending to live not live to spend”.

Hammer

A giant ship engine failed.

The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. 


Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young.

He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work.

He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man,
hoping he would know what to do.

After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

He gently tapped something.

 
Instantly, the engine lurched into life.
He carefully put his hammer away.

The engine was fixed! 

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for
Rs.100,000.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed.
 "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer..  . Rs. 2/-

Knowing where to tap...       Rs 99,998/-

Moral of the story:

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life, makes all the difference.

"Life doesn't change in ONE MINUTE, but taking decision after thinking for ONE MINUTE  can change life."

Hesitation, Fear and Shyness.

Neil Armstrong, he is the 1st person to set his foot on moon.

But, do you know  who was supposed to  be the 1st person?  Many don't know...

His name is Edwin C Aldarin...
He was the pilot for the Apollo mission. He was working for the American Airforce. Moreover he had experience of space walking, hence selected as the pilot.

Neil Armstrong worked for the American Navy. He was selected for his courage as co-pilot.

When the Apollo mission landed on moon, they received a command from NASA, "pilot first".

But Aldarin was hesitant, "what will happen", "will I get sucked in or will I burn out", etc. The hesitation was not for hours, but few seconds.

In the meantime, NASA sent the next command, "co-pilot next".

Within next second, Neil Armstrong put his foot on the moon & became part of world history.

World history was changed in 1 second... Though Aldarin had the qualification and talent, because of hesitation, he is not recognised by many people.

The world remembers only person who comes first...
This is a good example of how people lose out because of hesitation & fear. Whenever you see the moon, remember this, a moments hesitation can stop us from our greatest victory.

We all have great potential in us, the only thing that stops us from achieving what we are supposed to achieve is our hesitation, fear and shyness.

Many people are shy to ask, shy to appreciate others, & some are shy to share this message. If we fail to do the right things, we will most likely do the wrong things.

माणुसकी धर्म

       एक दिवस एक कावळा आणि त्याचा मुलगा झाडावर बसले होते.
कावळ्याचा मुलगा वडिलांना म्हणाला "मी आजपर्यंत सगळ्या प्रकारचे मांस खाल्ले... पण, दोन पायांच्या माणसाचे मांस कधीच खाल्ले नाही.

बाबा, कसा स्वाद असतो हो या दोन पायांच्या जीवाच्या मांसाचा?"

वडील कावळा म्हणाला "आजपर्यंत मी जीवनात ३ वेळा माणसाचे मांस खाल्ले आहे. खूपच चविष्ट असते ते!"
 

मुलगा कावळा लगेच हट्ट करू लागला कि त्याला पण माणसाचे मांस खायचे आहे. वडील कावळा म्हणाला, "ठीक आहे, पण थोडा वेळ वाट पहावी लागेल आणि मी जसे सांगेन तसे
तुला करावे लागेल. माझ्या वाडवडिलांनी मला हि चतुराई शिकवून ठेवली आहे ज्यामुळे आपल्याला खाणे मिळू शकेल." मुलगा कावळा "होय" म्हणाला.

त्यानंतर वडील कावळ्याने मुलाला एका जागी बसवले व तो उडून निघून गेला आणि परत येताना मांसाचे २ तुकडे तोंडात  घेवून आला. एक तुकडा स्वतःच्या तोंडात धरला व दुसरा तुकडा मुलाच्या तोंडात दिला,
तुकडा तोंडात घेता क्षणी मुलगा म्हणाला, "शी बाबा, तुम्ही कसल्या घाणेरड्या चवीचे मांस
आणले आहे. असले खाणे मला नको."

वडील कावळा म्हणाला, "थांब, तो तुकडा खाण्यासाठी नसून फेकण्यासाठी आहे. हा एक तुकडा टाकून आपण आता मांसाचे ढीग तयार करणार आहोत. उद्या पर्यंत वाट बघ. तुला मांसच मांस खायला मिळेल आणि ते
सुद्धा माणसाचे."

मुलाला हे काही कळले नाही कि एका मांसाच्या तुकड्यावर मांसाचे ढीग कसे काय निर्माण होणार ?
पण त्याचा त्याच्या वडिलावर विश्वास होता. थोड्या वेळाने कावळा वडील एक तुकडा घेवून
आकाशात उडाला आणि त्याने तो तुकडा एका मंदिरात टाकला आणि परत येवून दुसरा तुकडा उचलला व तो दुसरा तुकडा एका मशिदीच्या आत टाकला.

मग तो झाडावर येवून बसला. वडिल कावळा मुलाला म्हणाला, "आता बघ उद्या सकाळपर्यंत मांस खायला मिळते कि नाही ते?"

थोड्याच वेळात सगळीकडे गलका झाला, ना कुणाला कुणाचे ऐकू येत होते, ना कोणी कोणाचे ऐकून घेत होते.

फक्त धर्म भावना विखारी झाली होती. धर्माच्या नावाखाली रक्ताच्या चिळकांड्या उडत
होत्या.... आई, मुलगा, बहिण, भाऊ, वडील, काका, शेजारी, मित्र असे कोणतेच नाते लक्षात न घेत फक्त धर्म बघून एकमेकांवर वार चालू होते.

आमच्या धर्माचा अपमान झाला त्याचा बदला घेतलाच पाहिजे असे दोघेही म्हणत होते आणि यात निरपराध मारले जात होते. खूप वेळ यातच निघून गेला आताशा गाव शांत होवू लागले होते कारण रस्त्यावर फक्त आणि फक्त रक्तच सांडलेले दिसत होते. विशेष म्हणजे ते रक्त लाल रंगाचे होते... त्यात कुठल्याच धर्माची छटा नव्हती. 

ते फक्त एकच धर्म पाळत होते ते म्हणजे प्रवाही पणाचा.. गांव निर्मनुष्य भकास झाले होते.... सर्वत्र भयाण शांतता पसरली होती. या धुमश्चक्रीतून फक्त २ जीव सुटले होते ते म्हणजे झाडावरचे कावळे.

आता कावळ्याचे पोर माणसाची शिकार करायला शिकले होते. कावळ्याच्या पोराने बापाला प्रश्न विचारला,
"बाबा, हे असेच नेहमी होते का?  आपण भांडणे लावतो आणि माणसाच्या लक्षात कसे येत नाही?"

कावळा म्हणाला, "अरे या मुर्ख माणसाना कधीच आपला धर्म कळला नाही. माणुसकी हा धर्म सोडून ते नको त्या गोष्टी करत बसले आणि आपल्यासारखे कावळे त्यांचा फायदा घेवून जातात, हे त्यांच्या लक्षातही येत नाही. माणूस म्हणून जगण्यापेक्षा यांनी जात आणि धर्म यांचेच जास्त प्रस्थ माजविले आहे.आणि त्याचा गैरफायदा इतर तिसरे कोणी तरी घेवून जातात."

 इतके बोलून दोघे बाप-लेक मांस खाण्यासाठी उडून गेले.

Story of 10 dogs!

There was a king who had 10 wild dogs...
He used to use them to torture and eat all ministers who make mistakes.

So one of the ministers, once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn’t like at all…
So he ordered that the minister to be thrown to the dogs.

So the minister said,
"I served you 10 years and you do this..?

Please give me 10 days at least before you throw me in with those dogs!
So the king agreed…

In those 10 days the minister went to the guard that was guarding the dogs and told him that he wanted to serve the dogs for the next 10 days…

The guard was baffled…
But he agreed…
So the minister started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, washing them, providing all sorts of comfort for them.

So when the 10 days were up…


The king ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs for his punishment.

But when he was thrown in,

Everyone was amazed at what they saw..
They saw the dogs licking the feet of the minister!

So the king baffled at what he saw… Said:” what happened to the dog. !!!”

The minister then said;”
I served the dogs for 10 days and they didn’t forget my service…
Yet I served you for 10 years and you forgot all at the first mistake!”…

So the king realized his mistake

 and

 Brought wolves instead 😂



 1. Don't be like the minister, change jobs at appropriate time so that you are not thrown to the dogs; 
                 
2. Don't be the dogs, as you can be thrown out for foxes and wolves.

                                

Love your job, not your company. Because your love for job will get you other jobs, but love for company will either get you to dogs and wolves when company stops loving you....!

Love your work, your passion for work; business or employer will reciprocate!

5 Minute Managment Course

Lesson 1: 


A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. 
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. 
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. 
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' 
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, 
after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. 
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. 
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies. 


'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' 


Moral of the story: 
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your 
shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. 






Lesson 2: 


A priest offered a Nun a lift. 
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. 
The priest nearly had an accident. 
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. 
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' 
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. 
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' 
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' 
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. 
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. 
It said, 'Go forth and seek further up, you will find glory.' 


Moral of the story: 
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. 




Lesson 3: 


A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking 
to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. 
They rub it and a Genie comes out. 
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , 
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world' 
Puff! She's gone. 
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the 
beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' 
Puff! He's gone. 
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. 
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' 


Moral of the story: 
Always let your boss have the first say. 




Lesson 4 


An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. 
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' 
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' 
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. 
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. 


Moral of the story: 
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting 
very, very high up. 




Lesson 5 


A turkey was chatting with a bull. 
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' 
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave 
him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. 
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. 
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. 
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. 


Moral of the story: 
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. 




Lesson 6 


A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze 
and fell to the ground into a large field. 
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. 
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. 
The dung was actually thawing him out! 
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. 
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. 
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, 
and promptly dug him out and ate him. 




Moral of the story: 
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. 
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. 
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Saved!" And Without Waiting For The Father's Reply
He Carried On His Way Running... "If U Have Any Question, Ask The Nurse!!"
