Today’s Bonus: Good Evening ~ Good Night

‘Good evening’ is a way of saying ‘hello’ to someone in the evening. Some people start using this expression at 5 pm, others wait till 6 pm; there seems to be no fixed time as to when you start wishing someone, ‘Good evening’. When you run into someone at eleven o’clock in the night, you can still wish him ‘Good evening’.

You normally wish someone ‘Good night’ when you are taking leave of someone in the evening — not in the morning or afternoon! It’s another way of saying ‘goodbye’.

Good day...

Today’s Bonus:

My name is Prof. Anil Kumar. - Wrong

( Many teachers in India have the habit of introducing themselves in this manner. A native speaker of English wouldn’t say in this manner.

Remember, ‘Professor’ is the designation of a person; it is not a part of his name. )

If you would like people to know that you are a professor, then you will be better saying,

I am Prof. Anil Kumar - Correct

 

Good day...

Today’s Bonus: Ex ~ Former

If you are in the habit of changing jobs every six months, you will have several ‘former bosses’, but only one ‘ex-boss’.

Your previous boss is your ex-boss, and the ones you had before him are your former bosses.

 

E.g. Jayalalithaa is the ex-Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.

E.g. MGR, Anna,  and Kamarajar  are all ‘former’ Chief Ministers of Tamilnadu.

Good day...

Today’s Bonus:

I have a head-bath every Saturday – Wrong.

This is an expression that is commonly heard in India. Native speakers of English don’t use this word, and probably won’t understand what you mean by it. When a native speaker of English talks about taking a ‘bubble bath’, what he means is that he is going to get into a bathtub which is full of water and soap bubbles.

Or, Simply we can say, ‘I wash my hair every Saturday.’

Good day...

Today’s Bonus:

I am crazy after English. - Wrong

I am crazy about English. - Right

 

When you are crazy about something, you like it very much. You go after it because you are very interested in it.

It is also possible to say, I am mad about English.

Good day...

“It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an

hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it

takes a lifetime to forget someone.”

 

Today’s Bonus:

Myself is Sri Ramana – Wrong

I am Sri Ramana or My Name is Sri Ramana  - Correct.

A sentence cannot begin  with the word ‘myself’. You can use ‘myself’ only when you have used the word ‘I’ earlier in the same sentence.

E.g.: I did all the cooking myself. You cannot say, Myself did all the cooking.

Good day...

Steps to Success

Few Steps to Achieve Success
1. Self-Belief: Success begins in the mind. One has to be a believer, first, if one wishes to be an achiever. Never under-estimate yourself. You have no idea how often can you surprise yourself. So to begin with, let's get in the belief, "I Can."
2. Clarity of Vision: There is no point running around without knowing where one wants to reach. you must get your job cut out. Greatest achievers in the world have been visionaries. Know exactly what you are best at and give it your best shot.
3. Setting the Right Goals: The goals should be realistic. The goals should be achievable, and yet challenging enough - neither too easy nor too difficult, something in the middle.
4. Be focused: If the sun's rays are focused on a piece of paper with a lens, the intensity of the concentrated energy burns the paper. Focus on your objective will enhance the intensity of the effects of your efforts.
5. No Short Cuts to Success: There are no short cuts to success. Divide your overall goals into smaller targets. Divide your monthly plans into weekly and weekly plans into daily plans and see how simple can things be.
6. Take Risks: Without any risk no progress is possible. Life comes to a stable standstill. People who take chances are the people who get ahead in life. The only way to reduce risk is to take risks.
7. Take the Initiative: People who take the initiative make the most of their lives. Proactive people do not wait for success to happen; rather they make it happen. As they say, 'JUST DO IT'.
8. Never Hesitate to Struggle: No one has ever climbed a mountain just by looking at it. Struggle, hard struggle, is a key to success.
9. Own Responsibility: Failure to hit the bull's eye is never the fault of the target. People, who own complete responsibility of their lives, are the people who make the most of it.
10. Never Give Up: Many people who failed in life, are those who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Success demands extra-ordinary amount of perseverance. Never, never, give up.

Success

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm, till reaching the goal." 

Good day...

“Life itself has no meaning in it. Life is an opportunity to create a meaning.”

Today’s Bonus: Interpreter ~ Translator

An interpreter is someone who deals with the spoken word.

e.g.: When Atal Bihari Vajpayee gave a speech in Hindi at the UN General Assembly in 1977, interpreters speaking in different languages (French, English, Spanish, etc) let the audience know what our then Minister of External Affairs was saying.

 

The translator mostly deals with the written word; he rewrites documents from one language to another.

Reality Shows

The Sangeetha Maha Yutham kind of reality shows are good. It becomes more of a team work, a real time playback singer guides individuals & the small kids will not undergo too much of tension or for that matter depression when they fail. What say?

ISB

Indian School of Business is not rated good globally in many of the rankings. Only in FT, we could see ISB in top 10. Unsure, how much it is renowned for global corps.

Good day...

Today’s quote:

“There are two difficult things to say in life – One is saying “hello” for the first time to unknown person, second is saying “good bye”  for the last time to whom we really love.”

                   What a positive ( comic ) thought!!!!!!!!!

 

Today’s Bonus: Give in ~ Give up

If you are having an argument with a friend, and you ‘give in', it means you concede. In other words, you ‘cave in'. You accept your friend's point of view, though you really don't want to. When a person ‘gives in', he usually does so reluctantly.

e.g.: The CEO refused to give in to the demands of the workers.

 

When you ‘give up' doing something, you quit or stop doing it; In this case, the quitting may be voluntary or forced.

e.g.: My doctor has told me to give up smoking.

Husbands & Wives

Position of a Husband Is just like a Split AC 
No matter however Loud he is in the Outdoor
He is designed to remain Silent indoor...

"Husband is one who is the head of the family,
but his wife is the neck, and whichever way she turns, he goes."

A man in Hell asked Devil:
Can I make a call to my Wife?
After making call he asked how much to pay.
Devil : Nothing, Hell to hell is Free.

Husband: Do you know the meaning of WIFE?
It means, Without Information, Fighting Everytime!
Wife: No darling, it means - With Idiot For Ever

Wife: I wish I was a newspaper,
So I'd be in your hands all day.
Husband: I too wish that you were a newspaper,
So I could have a new one every day.

Doctor: Your husband needs rest and peace. Here are some sleeping Pills.
Wife: When must I give them to him?
Doctor: They are for you

Wife: I had to marry you to find out how stupid you are..
Husband: You should have known it the minute I asked you to marry me.

Wife: What will you give me if I climb the great Mount Everest ?
Husband: A lovely Push...!

INTRAPRENEUR

Wiki…

"Intrapreneurship refers to employee initiatives in organizations to undertake something new, without being asked to do so." ^[5] Hence, the intrapreneur focuses on innovation and creativity, and transforms an idea into a profitable venture, while operating within the organizational environment. Thus, intrapreneurs are Inside entrepreneurs who follow the goal of the organization. Intrapreneurship is an example of motivation through job design, either formally or informally. (See also Corporate Social Entrepreneurship: intrapreneurship within the firm which is driven to produce social capital in addition to economic capital.)

Employees, such as marketing executives^[6] or perhaps those engaged in a special project within a larger firm, are encouraged to behave as entrepreneurs, even though they have the resources, capabilities and security of the larger firm to draw upon. Capturing a little of the dynamic nature of entrepreneurial management (trying things until successful, learning from failures, attempting to conserve resources, etc.) adds to the potential of an otherwise static organization, without exposing those employees to the risks or accountability normally associated with entrepreneurial failure.

Today’s Bonus: Until ~ Up to    

 ‘Until' and ‘till' are usually used with time. In terms of meaning, there is no difference. ‘Until' is considered to be the more formal than ‘till'.

e.g.: There are no tickets available until/till February.

 

‘Up to' is used to refer to distance, and not time.

e.g.: The students walked up to the gate and started throwing stones.

The word can also be used to talk about quantity.

e.g.: Some people are earning  up to Rs.10, 000 sitting at home

Difficult

“Because a thing seems difficult to you, do not think it is impossible for anyone to accomplish”~Marcus Aurelius

Magical Monday: A Mountain of Dirt

It's always a great idea to keep the front lawn looking tidy and to repair any problems. With this thought in mind, the owner of the house had delivered a dump truck full of topsoil in order to fill in two large holes created when two old tree stumps were removed.

The big, big mound of earth sat there dumped 200 feet away from these holes waiting for him to begin the process. This big, big mound of earth was not going to move itself and seemed overwhelming. A mound of earth that looked more like a mini-mountain than a pile of earth that would be a simple Saturday afternoon chore. Oh my goodness, why did he ever think that this hole filling, lawn repair project, was something he would be able to tackle?

What he had to remind himself was that what might at first appear as an overwhelming task, or something he couldn't see himself doing, would be resolved by simply taking one step at a time, or one action at a time, over and over again.

After staring at this pile of topsoil for ten minutes wondering whether he should hire someone to do what he just couldn't see himself doing, an old Chinese proverb came to his mind, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." The translation of this proverb to the task at hand immediately became obvious. He needed to take one shovel at a time until a wheelbarrow was full, and then kept filling one wheelbarrow at a time and dumping it until one hole was full then simply repeated the process until both holes were finished.

Software Testing! good one.. ;)

Software Testing - A good read….not intended against any group as such, but still entertaining ... read on ...

 

A university scholar, Mr. John Smith approaches his friend a software-testing guru telling him that he has a Bachelor in programming, and now would like to learn the software testing to complete his knowledge and to find a job as a software tester. After summing him up for a few minutes, the software-testing guru told him "I seriously doubt that you are ready to study software testing. It's the serious topic. If you wish however I am willing to examine you in logic, and if you pass the test I will help teach you software testing. "

 

The young man agrees.

 

Software testing guru holds up two fingers "Two men come down a chimney. One comes with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?

 

The young man stares at the software-testing guru. "Is that a test in Logic?" software testing guru nods.

 

"The one with the dirty face washes his face," He answers wearily.

 

"Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So; the one with the clean face washes his face."

 

"Very clever" Says Smith.  "Give me another test"

 

The software-testing guru again holds up two fingers "Two men come down a chimney.One comes out with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?

 

"We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his face"

 

"Wrong. Each one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So; the one with the clean face washes his face. When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face washing his face, he also washes his face. So each one washes his face"

 

"I didn't think of that!" Says Smith. " It's shocking to me that I could make an error in logic. Test me again!."

 

The software-testing guru holds up two fingers "Two men come down a chimney.One comes out with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?

 

"Each one washes his face"

 

"Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with clean face sees that the one with the dirty face doesn't wash his face, he also doesn't wash his face So neither one washes his face".

 

Smith is desperate. "I am qualified to study software testing. Please give me one more test"

 

He groans when the software-testing guru lifts his two fingers, "Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?

 

"Neither one washes his face"

 

"Wrong. Do you now see, John, why programming knowledge is an insufficient basis for studying the software testing? Tell me, how is it possible for two men to come down the same chimney, and for one to come out with a clean face and the other with a dirty face? Don’t you see?"

An email forward…

An awesome place in Himalayas

Ki Gompa. This picture was taken when I visited the Buddhist Monastery of Ki. Ki is a tiny village in the middle of the Himalayas, and next to it is Ki Gompa (Ki Monastery). I lived with the monks for about a week, and this picture reflects the peaceful, almost heavenly atmosphere that characterizes this place. The Monastery is almost 4,000 meters high, and I had to climb almost 500 meters more to get this panorama. This place is a touch of heaven.

Health Tips

SIMPLIFY

Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety and freshness.

 

START SLOW

Take small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking.

 

INCLUDE GREENS IN YOUR DIET

Greens are packed with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, vitamins A, C, E and K, and they help strengthen the blood and respiratory systems.

 

PACK A FRUITY PUNCH

Fruit provides fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Berries help fight cancer, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.

 

‘G’ STANDS FOR WHOLE GRAINS!

Include whole wheat, brown rice, millet, quinoa, and barley. Experiment with different grains to find your favorites.

Building your house

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer and contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted to retire.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go & asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."
The carpenter was shocked! What a disappointment! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.

 

“Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your attitude, and the choices you make today, help build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, Build wisely!
