Ant &Grasshopper

U.S VERSION

Ant & Grasshopper :

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays
the summer away.

Come winter ,the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food
or shelter so he dies out in the cold.


INDIAN Version:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays
the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering
Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a
table filled with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this
poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a hunger strike along with other Grasshoppers demanding
that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International criticizes the Indian Government
for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper.

The BJP stages a walkout in Parliament and demands an apology from Sonia Gandhi. 

Left parties call for a "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in West Bengal immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working
hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants
and Grasshoppers.

Mamata Banerjee allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian
Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of
the winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing
left to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the
Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by
NDTV. 

Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu-Mulayam call it 'Socialistic Justice'.

CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'.

The Grasshopper is invited to address the UN General Assembly.

ANT HELPED BIRDEE

"An ant fell in water. Seeing this a little birdee plucked a leaf and threw it in water for the ant to ride on it, and fetched it to the shore. Another day as the little birdee was singing happily on a branch of a tree a hunter came and aimed his arrow towards the birdee. Seeing this the ant bit the toe of the hunter who whimpered and the birdee could fly away."

LUNCH WITH GOD

LUNCH WITH GOD !!!

 

A little boy wanted to meet God.

He packed his suitcase with two sets of his dress

and some packets of Cakes and he started his journey.

 

He walked a long and felt tired. So he sat in a park on the way

and  opened  a packet  to take  a cake  to eat.  Then he noticed an old

woman sitting sad with hunger nearby, so he offered her a piece of cake.

 

She  gratefully  accepted  it with  a wide  look  and smiled  at him.

Her smile was so pretty that the boy longed to see it again.

After some time he offered her another piece of cake.

Again, she accepted it and smiled at him.

The boy was delighted!

 

They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

While it grew dark, the boy  was frightened and he got up to leave

but before he had gone more than a few steps,

he ran back and gave her a hug and she

kissed him with her pretiest smile.

 

When  the  boy  opened  the  door,

his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.

She asked him, "What did you do today that made you look so happy?"

He replied, "I had lunch with God." Before his mother could respond, he added,

"You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my life!"

 

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.

Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and asked,

"Mom, what did you do today that made you so happy?"

She replied, "I ate cakes in the park with God."

Before her son responded, she added,

"You know, he's much younger

than I expected."

 

Too often we underestimate the power of

a touch,

a smile,

a kind word,

a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

 

Remember, nobody know how God will look like.

People come into our lives for a reason,

for a season, or for a lifetime.

Accept all of them equally!

 

AND LET THEM  SEE GOD IN YOU

The Simple Truth of Service

The Simple Truth of Service

We each have the ability within ourselves to make others feel special and let them know that they are greatly loved.  We truly never know what others are going through because many times people hide their true feelings and smile when deep down they feel sad and discouraged.  It is for this reason that we should take it upon ourselves to shine the light that is within us so that others may be encouraged and challenged to shine their light so that they may be encouraging to someone else.

********

A few years ago I was hired by a large supermarket chain to lead a customer service program -- to build customer loyalty.

During my speech I said: “Every one of you can make a difference.  Try to create memories for your customers that will motivate them to come back.

How?

Put your personal signature on the job. Think about something you can do for your customer to make them feel special --- a memory that will make them want to come back.”

About a month after I had spoken, I received a call from a 19 year old bagger named Johnny.  He proudly informed me he was a Down Syndrome individual and told me his story.

“I liked what you talked about” he said, “but at first I didn't think I could do anything special for our customers.  After all, I'm just a bagger.”

“Then I had an idea: Every night after work I would come home and find a thought for the day. If I can't find a saying I like, I just thought one up.”

When Johnny had a good ‘Thought For The Day’ his dad helped him set it up on the computer and print multiple copies. Johnny cut out each quote and signed his name on the back then he'd bring them to work the next day.

“When I finished bagging the groceries I put my thought for the day in their bag and say: 'THANKS for SHOPPING with us.' And”

It touched me to think that this young man -- with a job most people would say is not important had made it important by creating precious memories for all the customers.

A month later the store manager called me.

“You won't believe what happened. When I was making my rounds today I found Johnny's checkout line was three times longer than anyone else's! It went all the way down the frozen food aisle. So I quickly announced.  'We need more cashiers! Get more lanes open!' as I tried to get people to change lanes. But they wouldn't --- no one would move.”

They said: “No, it's okay --- we want to be in Johnny's lane.  We want to stay in Johnny's lane; we want his thought for the day!”

The store manager continued: “It was a joy to watch Johnny delight the customers. I got a lump in my throat when one woman said:”

“I used to shop at your store once a week, but now I come in every time I go pass by because I want to get Johnny's thought for the day.”

A few months later the store manager called me again.

“Johnny had transformed the store.  Now when the floral department has a broken flower or unused corsage, they find an elderly woman or a little girl and pin it on them.”

“Everyone's having a lot of fun creating memories! Our customers are happy and talking about us...they are coming back and bringing their friends.”

A wonderful spirit of service spread throughout the entire store...and all because Johnny chose to make a difference!

Johnny's idea wasn't nearly as innovative as it was loving. It came from his heart. It was real. That's what touched his customers, his peers, and those who read this story.

Great service comes from the heart.

Be encouraged to say a kind word, buy someone their lunch or coffee and simply make yourself available to hear what they are saying.  A simple act of kindness can cause a ripple effect where hundreds or even thousands of people will be impacted because of something good that you initiated.  Do something nice today for someone else and start the ripple that will touch thousands. I hope this message ministers to your heart to see how one life can bring joy to so many people by doing something nice for someone else.

Will you be a Johnny today? (i am trying my best to be1*)

Stay Blessed!

situation puzzle -lateral thinking

One of the most famous situation puzzles is told similar to this:

A man walks into a bar, and asks the bartender for a drink of water. The bartender pulls out a gun, points it at the man, and cocks it. The man says "Thank you" and leaves. What happened?

The question and answer segment might go something like this.

1. Question: Could the bartender hear him? Answer: Yes
2. Question: Was the bartender angry for some reason? A: No
3. Question: Was the gun a water pistol? A: No
4. Question: Did they know each other from before? A: No (or: "irrelevant" since either way it does not affect the outcome)
5. Question: Was the man's "Thank you" sarcastic? A: No (or with a small hint: "No, he was genuinely grateful for some reason")
6. Question: Did the man ask for water in an offensive way? A: No
7. Question: Did the man ask for water in some strange way? A: Yes

Eventually the questions lead up to the conclusion that the man had the hiccups, and that his reason for requesting a drink of water was not to quench his thirst but to cure his hiccups. The bartender realized this and chose instead to cure the hiccups by frightening the man with the gun. Once the man realized that his hiccups were gone, he no longer needed a drink of water, gratefully thanked the bartender, and left.

Lateral thinking

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term lateral thinking was coined by Cherry Thomas.

Methods

Critical thinking is primarily concerned with judging the true value of statements and seeking errors. Lateral thinking is more concerned with the movement value of statements and ideas. A person would use lateral thinking when they want to move from one known idea to creating new ideas. Edward de Bono defines four types of thinking tools:

• Idea generating tools that are designed to break current thinking patterns—routine patterns, the status quo
• Focus tools that are designed to broaden where to search for new ideas
• Harvest tools that are designed to ensure more value is received from idea generating output
• Treatment tools that are designed to consider real-world constraints, resources, and support^[1]

Random Entry Idea Generating Tool: Choose an object at random, or a noun from a dictionary, and associate that with the area you are thinking about.

For example imagine you are thinking about how to improve a web site. Choosing an object at random from an office you might see a fax machine. A fax machine transmits images over the phone to paper. Fax machines are becoming rare. People send faxes directly to phone numbers. Perhaps this could be a new way to embed the web site's content in emails and other sites.

Provocation Idea Generating Tool: choose to use any of the provocation techniques—wishful thinking, exaggeration, reversal, escape, distortion, or arising. Create a list of provocations and then use the most outlandish ones to move your thinking forward to new ideas.

Movement Techniques: develop provocation operations by the following methods: extract a principle, focus on the difference, moment to moment, positive aspects, special circumstances.

Challenge Idea Generating Tool: A tool which is designed to ask the question "Why?" in a non-threatening way: why something exists, why it is done the way it is. The result is a very clear understanding of "Why?" which naturally leads to fresh new ideas. The goal is to be able to challenge anything at all, not just items which are problems.

For example you could challenge the handles on coffee cups. The reason for the handle seems to be that the cup is often too hot to hold directly. Perhaps coffee cups could be made with insulated finger grips, or there could be separate coffee cup holders similar to beer holders.

Concept Fan Idea Generating Tool: Ideas carry out concepts. This tool systematically expands the range and number of concepts in order to end up with a very broad range of ideas to consider.

Disproving: Based on the idea that the majority is always wrong (Henrik Ibsen, John Kenneth Galbraith^[who?]), take anything that is obvious and generally accepted as "goes without saying", question it, take an opposite view, and try to convincingly disprove it. This technique is similar to de Bono's "Black Hat" of the Six Thinking Hats, which looks at the ways in which something will not work.

Lateral thinking and problem solving

Problem Solving: When something creates a problem, the performance or the status quo of the situation drops. Problem solving deals with finding out what caused the problem and then figuring out ways to fix the problem. The objective is to get the situation to where it should be.

For example, a production line has an established run rate of 1000 items per hour. Suddenly, the run rate drops to 800 items per hour. Ideas as to why this happened and solutions to repair the production line must be thought of, such as giving the worker a pay raise.

Creative Problem Solving: Using creativity, one must solve a problem in an indirect and unconventional manner.

For example, if a production line produced 1000 books per hour, creative problem solving could find ways to produce more books per hour, use the production line, or reduce the cost to run the production line.

Creative Problem Identification: Many of the greatest non-technological innovations are identified while realizing an improved process or design in everyday objects and tasks either by accidental chance or by studying and documenting real world experience

hospital bill

A man suffered a serious heart attack and consequently had a quadruple heart bypass surgery. He woke up to find that he was in the care of nuns at a catholic hospital. When he had recovered sufficiently a nun began to ask him questions as to how he was going to pay for the treatment he has had. 

The nun asked…"Do you have health insurance?" 

The patient replied in a rapsy voice…."No health insurance.." 

The nun asked …."Do you have money in the bank?" 

The patient replied…"No money in the bank." 

Somewhat impatient the nun asked…"Do you have a relative who will be willing to help you settle the account for your treatment?" 

The patient replied…"I only have a spinster sister who is a nun." 

The nun became agitated and announced loudly.."Nuns are not spinsters! They are married to God." 

The patient retorted.." Then send the bill to my brother in law.

barber and ministers

While cutting hair, official Barber asked Kapil Sibal, ‘’What’s this Swiss Bank issue?”

 

Kapil Sibal shouted, “YOU, you are cutting hair or ing conducting an inquiry?”

Barber: Sorry Sir, I just asked.

 

 

Next day, while cutting the hair, he asked Pranab Mukherjee, “Sir, what’s this Black money issue?’’

Pranab shouted, ‘’Why did you ask me this question?’’

Barber: ‘’Sorry Sir, just asked you’’

 

 

Next day, CBI interrogated the Barber, ‘’Are you an agent of Baba Ramdev?’’

Barber: No Sir.

CBI: Are you the agent of Anna?

Barber: No Sir.

CBI: Then while cutting the hair, why do you ask Congress Ministers about Swiss Bank and Black money issues?

 

Barber: Sir, I do not know why, when I ask about Swiss Bank or Black money, Congress Ministers’ hairs stand up straight;

and that helps me to cut the hair easily; that’s why I go on asking.

Lateral thinking is a creative exercise. Practice every day.

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of
owing a large sum of money to the village moneylender. The moneylender,
who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he
proposed  a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he
could marry his
daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the
proposal. So the cunning moneylender suggested that they let providence
decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a
white pebble into an  empty moneybag. Then the girl would have to pick
one pebble from the bag.

1. If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her
father's debt would be forgiven.

2. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her
father's debt would still be forgiven.

3. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into
jail.

Standing on a pebble-strewn path in the farmer's field, the moneylender
bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed
girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into
the bag. He  then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field that day. What would
you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would
you have  told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and
expose the moneylender as a cheat.

3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order
to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over this story. Experts use it to  make people
appreciate the difference between lateral and logical  thinking. The
girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking.
Think of the consequences if she chose any of the above logical choices.


What would you recommend to the girl do?











Well, here is what she did ...

She put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without
looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path
where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. " Oh, how
clumsy of me," she  said. " But never mind, if you look into the bag for
the one that is left,  you will be able to tell which pebble I picked. "


Since the remaining pebble was black, they had to assume  that she had
picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his
dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an
extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution, which you 
can find if you stretch your mind. If logic isn't working, try lateral
thinking.


Lateral thinking is a creative exercise. Practice every day.

Lesson to Learn from Rotary History

Lesson to Learn from Rotary History*

On 23rd Feb 1905 Paul Harris, Silvester Schiele, Hiram Shorey, Gustavus
Loehr assembled a Room 711, Unity Building, where Paul mooted an idea and
others nodded their head in Unison for a new kind of club. This could be
treated as the meeting of the first Rotary club.

Two of the forefathers of Rotary had only a short Rotary Life. Gus left the
club very next year due to problems in his business. Hiram Shorey was
elected as recording secretary of the club at third meeting, but he dropped
out of the club and never really served as recording secretary.

If two of the four founder members of an organisation leave within an year,
one can imagine how discouraging it would have been. But inspite of this
early shock, the organisation grew to all parts of the world and has
completed more than 105 years.

corruption

Corruption in India is a cultural aspect.
Indians seem to think nothing peculiar

about corruption . It is everywhere. 
Indians tolerate corrupt individuals

rather than correct them.
No race can be congenitally corrupt.
But can a race be corrupted by its culture? 
To know why Indians are corrupt ,
look at their patterns and practices .
First: 
Religion is transactional in India.
Indians give God cash and anticipate

an out-of-turn reward.
Such a plea acknowledges that

favours are needed for the undeserving. 
In the world outside the temple walls,
such a transaction is named- “bribe”. 
A wealthy Indian gives not cash to temples,
but gold crowns and such baubles.
His gifts can not feed the poor. His pay-off is for God.
He thinks it will be wasted if it goes to a needy man. 
In June 2009, The Hindu published

a report of Karnataka minister
G. Janardhan Reddy gifting

a crown of gold and diamonds worth
Rs 45 crore to Tirupati.
India’s temples collect so much that
they don't know what to do with it.
Billions are gathering dust in temple vaults.

When Europeans came to India they built schools.
When Indians go to Europe & USA, they build temples.

Indians believe that if God accepts money for his favours,
then nothing is wrong in doing the same thing.
This is why Indians are so easily corruptible. 
Indian culture accommodates such transactions morally.
There is no real stigma. An utterly corrupt Jaya Lalita can
make a comeback, just unthinkable in the West. Second -
Indian moral ambiguity towards corruption

is visible in its history.
Indian history tells of the capture of cities

and kingdoms after guards
were paid off to open the gates, and

commanders paid off to surrender. 
This is unique to India. 
Indians' corrupt nature has meant limited

warfare on the subcontinent.
It is striking how little Indians have actually

fought compared to
ancient Greece and modern Europe. 
The Turks’ battles with Nadir Shah

were vicious and fought to the finish. 
In India fighting wasn't needed,

bribing was enough to see off armies.
Any invader willing to spend cash

could brush aside India’s kings,
no matter how many tens of thousands

soldiers were  in their infantry.
Little resistance was given by the Indians

at the “Battle” of Plassey.
Clive paid off Mir Jaffar and all of

Bengal folded to an army of 3,000.
There was always a financial

exchange to taking Indian forts.
Golconda was captured in 1687

after the secret back door was left open.
Mughals vanquished Marathas

and Rajputs with nothing but bribes.
The Raja of Srinagar gave up

Dara Shikoh’s son Sulaiman to
Aurangzeb after receiving a bribe. 
There are many cases where Indians

participated  on a large scale in

treason due to bribery.
Question is: Why Indians have a

transactional culture while
other 'civilized' nations don't?
  Third -
Indians do not believe in the theory that they all can rise
if each of them behaves morally, because that is not
the message of their faith. 
Their caste system separates them.
They don't believe that all men are equal.
This resulted in their division and

migration to other religions .
Many Hindus started their own

faith like Sikh, Jain, Buddha
and many converted to

Christianity and Islam. 
The result is that Indians

don't trust one another .
 There are no Indians in India ,there are
Hindus ,Christians, Muslims and what not.

Indians forget that 400 years ago

they all belonged to one faith.
This division evolved an unhealthy culture.
The inequality has resulted in a corrupt society,
In India every one is thus against everyone else,
except God ­ and even he must be bribed.

 CAN WE CHANGE OUR MIND SET?????
