NEVER BE TOO LATE...

(From now on, I have decided to be

Present at the venue of any meeting at least an hour before
The meeting starts...!)

A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in

the
parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was
chosen
to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.
However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words
while they waited:
'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard
here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first
person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television
set
and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He
had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an
affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister.
I was appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were
not
all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and
loving people.'.!!!!!
Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of
apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation
and
gave his talk:
'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said the
politician. 'In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him
for confession.'

Moral: Never, Never, NEVER EVER, BE LATE!

In this, oh so materialistic, world we live in, were inclined to think
of wealth in terms of one thing only money. Sure, its probably
the form of wealth that most people recognize the easiest and
want the most. But is it, really? Lets test your concept of wealth
Which would you rather have few million dollars and an
aggressive cancer with six months to live, or no money but the
option of a long healthy life? Its a bit of a no-brainer. I want to
suggest that there are at least seven types of wealth. When you
consider them, you might find that youre wealthier than you
realize!
1. Physical Wealth. The first form of wealth is your physical
health (and with this I include your mental health). If you cant get
out of bed, its not much fun having millions and not being able to
enjoy them. If you want to become truly wealthy, go for physical
wealth first as that will give you the means to start acquiring
other forms of wealth.
2. Relational Wealth. We weren't meant to live in the forests
alone. Thats why were lonely when we are disconnected from
family, friends and society. Again, money means very little when
you have no-one special to share it with. I know people who are
fabulously wealthy but who are miserably unhappy because their
relationships with parents, partners, children, siblings or friends
have disintegrated. Strive to build up your relational wealth and
you will never be lonely.
3. Spiritual Wealth. This refers to your values and the
development of your spirit the essence of who you are - through
prayer, meditation or contemplation. Many people focus on
external (material) wealth and never discover internal wealth.
They consequently never discover who they really are and die in
poverty in that regard. When you find yourself, you find the
wealth that was put into you for success in this life.
4. Meaning Wealth. This wealth is built by discovering and
developing your reason for being on the planet. This is the only
way your life will truly have any meaning. At the end of your life,

if you feel your life has had no purpose, you will feel deep regret
that your life has been of no value.
5. Memories Wealth. As we get older, we are able to build
this wealth. Everybody has memories, but not everybody has
happy memories of their childhood, of their partners, of their
children, of their careers. This is one wealth you cannot build at
the end of your life. You have to build it now by creating the
memories you want to carry with you for the rest of your life.
When you live for others now, you will build a wealth of happy
memories that will make you a wealthy person as you age.
6. Opportunities Wealth. Some get given many
opportunities, some get very few opportunities, and some create
their own opportunities. Some take the few opportunities they get
and turn them into something wonderful. Many get given
opportunities which they fail to recognize and never seize them.
Its up to you what you do with the many or few opportunities life
gives you. The way to build Opportunities wealth is to learn to
recognize opportunities that come your way, no matter how small
they may be, then use them to create magic.
7. Financial Wealth. This wealth is the easiest to spot, but not
necessarily the easiest to acquire. There is no get rich scheme
that is really sustainable. Set yourself financial goals, then work
toward achieving them and you will be able to build wealth in this
area.
As you build your career and your life, dont chase financial
wealth only. Make sure you build wealth in the other six areas I
mentioned and you will truly be a wealthy person!

HOW VERY TRUE...IF & ONLY IF IT WAS THAT

VERY SIMPLE TO PUT THIS INTO
PRACTICE.....
Good Morning.
Greetings to you this Monday morning!
The big win isn't the end of all feeling good. It is the little victories that
you accomplish on an everyday basis that makes you happiest of all.

These victories (the ones that seem very insignificant) can actually make
you very happy and can bring about a sense of completion and
achievement.
It is believed that human beings respond very well to rewards. According
to psychologists, this sense of reward corresponds with feelings
of happiness and recognition. It is also believed that when people take
time to notice things that go right, it means that they are getting a lot of
small rewards throughout the day and this feeling can help lift the mood.
Experts feel that it is very important to acknowledge the good. It is also
known to be one of the great ways to become more positive in life. When
little things show progress, that means it is on a journey to become
better. This makes you more motivated to stay engaged and go through
the day without feeling negative or going through moments of crisis. It
makes one optimistic.
Some of the reasons cited by psychologists that make people feel better
and more grateful are - being there for someone in times of need (the
feeling of actually helping out someone), doing something that they have
just thought of doing till date, achieving something small (could be
winning a local match, performing well at your dance class, or a small pat
on the back from your boss). These reasons go a long way in ensuring
that you stay motivated throughout and work harder to bring a smile on
someone's face.
Have a great charged up week ahead and be grateful for little things which happens
around you.

Warm regards,

Good Day..

A gwala (cattle herder) named Budhi Ram was overseeing his

herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Himachal when suddenly a
brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan
sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy,

"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd,
Will you give me a calf?"
Budhi Ram looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his macBook Air computer, connects
it to his iphone, and surfs to a NASApage on the Internet, where he
calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then
feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-highresolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in iPhoto and exports it to
an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .
Within seconds, he receives an email on his iPhone that the image has
been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL
database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on
his iPhone and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech,
miniaturized LaserJet printer, turns to Budhi Ramy and says, "You have
exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says BudhiRam.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with
amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Budhi Ram says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly
who you are & what is your business , will you give me back my
calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why
not?"
"You're Rahul Gandhi, says Budhi- Ram.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie idiot, "but how did you guess
that?"
"No guessing required." answered Budhi Ram. "You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I
already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars
worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you
are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a
living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. ...
Now give me back my dog.
God, Please Save India !!!
