Good day...

Today’s quote:

“Management is doing things right;

Leadership is doing the right things.”

                                                - Peter F Drucker

Today’s Bonus:

I request you to grant me leave for Thursday.

When you say "grant me leave for Thursday", what you mean is that you would like to have Thursday off.

In other words, you would like your boss to tell you that you needn't come to work on Thursday.

 

I request you to grant me leave on Thursday.

This sentence  is rather ambiguous. It could mean that you want your boss to inform you on Thursday that you have been granted leave. You don't want him to tell you today itself as to whether you have been given leave or not. You want him to give you the good news on Thursday.
