Beauty of life lies in the fact that you can never fully understand it. There is always something new coming around the corner and you never run out of expectations and excitement.

How to measure growth in a corporate based on the software that you use? This may be mostly applicable to most of us. :-) This is just for fun. 

If you are using Microsoft Word more often, then you are likely to be at an employee/developer level; 

If you are using Microsoft Excel and/or MS-Project more often, then you are likely to be at mid-level manager level i.e. tactical management person; 

If you are using MS PowerPoint more often, then you are likely to be at upper management (delivery management) or business management level i.e. strategic decision making person; 

If you are not using any of the above software, but only go through the documents created by others using this software to gather data that is stored safely in a pile of email, then you are at senior management level and above. 

So if you know what software you use often, you will know where you stand. :-)

Managers who energize their team members by being an example are leaders
Managers who suck the energy out of the team are bleeders
And they who mentor more such managers are breeders
Living off the hard work of their team, such managers are feeders
To remove such managers from the system what we need are weeders.

Problems in life are like the threading in a car tyre with its ups and downs. Without it, there is no grip at all.

We have advanced so much in technology and science. Our cities and villages are connected. Almost all households have latest gadgets. We have imported cars plying on our roads. We have discos, clubs and what not. Yet I cant understand why there is a power cut almost always when it rains. Electricity is generated from water. So does the power go off out of respect for the water when it rains?

Whats the difference between a leader and a terrorist? A leader raises his hand in his own defence and raises his voice in the defence of others. A terrorist does it the other way around.

English is a strange language. If 'some' indicates less of something, and 'full' indicates fullness of something, then why is 'awesome' an appreciative word and 'awful' a derogatory word?

Dogs running around...a cow enters the street. The dogs start barking at the cow to drive the cow out. Dog is thinking...this is my street and I rule. Man stands watching all of it, laughing to himself, thinking 'the poor dog does not realize that man is the one who dominates this world and powerful than any other being'.. and God stands silently, smiling at man and thinking the same thing.

Knowing how to live, and knowing how to 'not die' are two very different areas of knowledge in life. We must learn both.

In life, don't measure the value of something by how much it would cost to replace it. This way, everything you have will become priceless and unique.

There are always a thousand excuses to not do something in life. But there is almost always only one reason to do something about it.

At young age, our hair is black which indicates that our mind is like the black hole, receptive to take in any knowledge that we put into it. As we grow older and our grey cells increase, it is also indicated by the increase in grey hair as well. We have to age gracefully.

No wonder the brain is called the central nervous system. It is where all the nervousness in life start. Rather trust the heart and your decisions will be honest even if not always right.

Survival of the Fittest may have been the mechanism by which all species on this planet may have survived and evolved. But when it comes to sustenance of life, especially for humans, it is the Support of the Fittest which will help sustain life. The wealthy supports the poor, the strong supports the weak, the literate supports the illiterate, healthy supports the unhealthy. This helps mankind's thinking to evolve to a higher level and elevate mankind as the most successful species to have walked this earth.
