Another lession to be made note for those who are too conscientious.......
NASA officials were interviewing three prospective astronauts to sent to Mars on a dangerous one-way trip. Only one of the three would go, and that candidate would never return to Earth. The interviewer asked the first candidate, an engineer, how much he wanted to be paid to go.
"One million dollars," replied the engineer, "and I want it donated to my alma mater, Rice University."
The interviewer asked the next candidate the same question.
"Two million dollars," answered the doctor, "and I want to give one million to my family and leave the other million to medical research."
The third candidate, a lawyer, was asked the same question.
"Three million dollars!" replied the lawyer.
"Why so much?" the interviewer inquired.
The lawyer replied, "If you give me three million, I'll keep a million, give you a million, and we'll send the engineer."
Amen !

Mind your language
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, a Sikh and a Frenchman who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appears.
Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, he said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, and then your wish will come true."
The Frenchman wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted WINE..... The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.
Next is the Russians turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka.
The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER" and he became so contented with his beer pool that he started drinking and forgot about swimming.
The last was the Sikh's turn.... he was running towards the pool when he accidentally steps on a banana peel, slips and says "SHIT" ........ the rest is hisrtory !!!!
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Mind your language; you never know what it will land you in.......

Internet Home Business and EQ Competency
Internet-Home-Business is not something new nowadays.. most work-at-home moms practise it, students in college utilise it for extra income, it keeps retirees busy and some working people use it as a part-time income source.
Few people have also made it a full time occupation and, have succeeded as well..
I am also in this jig, and reckon one of the things you ought to know before starting a home business is how to avoid the setbacks
One of the important things after you have identified your home based Internet-business, is that you have to sit down and analyze certain factors, i.e., your skills, the areas you are good at etc.,
Few of the important factors required prior to starting on a home-based-business venture are mentioned below.
This is something most of us overlook - I used to, and still am a mess when it comes to organising and time management. This is mainly because of the lack of discipline that slowly filters into home-businesses. No wonder they call it working in your pajamas !
So it would help if you initially do a bit of time management and eliminate some of the things that aren't important to you. In short, readjust your priorities. What's eating up your time that you could eliminate or if possible, delegate to someone else?
Work on your resilience, an important factor.. which is widely recognised as EQ or Emotional-Quotient competency. This pertains to being able to bounce back from failures, loss, rejections and adversity. It will keep you from slowing down and wasting precious energy when you hit an obstacle or challenge.
The EQ competency will help you maintain a sense of balance. Try not to be a perfectionist; as if you constantly dwell on the things that don't go exactly as planned, you'll get into a negative mindset. Working to stay positive and congratulating yourself occasionally is extremely necessary.
Focus on what goes right and not what goes wrong -We normally overlook the many things that went well during a given day, and give importance to that one thing that went wrong. So just switch this around and pass it on and you will feel more relaxed.
Every time somebody tells you something that didn't go well, counter with something that went well. This will help you build your self-esteem and resilience, and will positively affect those around you.
Find a way to combine self-nurturing and support with a great home business that would enable you to achieve that financial flexibility.
Surround yourself with as many positive situations as you can. If someone's really negative, that it's best to stay away from him or her.
Even while shopping, try finding a store where the clerks are smiling and helpful. There are many. Find the office supply store where they're really glad to have your business, and pay attention to you when you're shopping.
Most of the successful Internet businesses ventures have faced tremendous setbacks
and they have comeback only stronger. So don't give up... the initial stages are a bit hard.. Wishing you the best in your home business.

Bindaas - whadde hell is it dude ?
Among the prominent new Indian words finding place in the dictionary are 'bindaas' (carefree), lehnga (an ankle-length skirt) and 'masala' (a varied mixture of elements) and ofcourse, the good ole curry...
Then, there are the 'bindaas babes' of Bollywood who dare to bare without a care. We shall keep that for a rainy day.....
Although the bindaas for a female sounds uhhhh... [pun intended], how would it sound when half of them wear a half lehnga....
'Bindaas' is also the trademark Mumbai street lingo...
Another good aspect of "Bindaas" is outlined below....
In India, when a man buys a condom across the counter, the retailer or the chemist whom he is buying it from, generally perceives.. that "This dude is gonna get laid.... Now what is wrong with that...
But the additional or added perception that follows is that the guy does not have a good character and that he could disrupt the chemist business as the other customers present could put off by the fact that a chemist is selling the big C
Geez.....
And to make it worse... post-purchase, 3 out of every 10 people present there assumes that he is gonna visit a "you-know-who" or to put it mildly [a sex worker.... actually like that term... but then again, this is Indiya... where else can you get work at sex [pun intended]
Anyway, if you think that was bad , visit here for some great translations...
But, this 'perception' was even worse earlier.... apparently market figures quote that in 2004... 46 per cent of onlookers would have thought likewise according to the three-year "Condom Bindaas Bol" Campaign, a joint effort between health tracker PSP-One, USAID, ICICI Bank and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The campaign has just concluded, and the baseline (early 2004) and end line (early 2007) results were shared exclusively with HT.
The result... the 'consistent use of condoms among married men has increased by 12 percentage points, ie., to say from 32 per cent to 44 per cent, usage among men who have non-regular partners has gone up from 75 per cent to 80 per cent... [ooooh!...]
Bottom line... when the 'Bindaas' tag was displayed prominently as banners, several women were spotted buying condoms......Now this is real meaning "bindaas" dude.... forget the san-napkin [pun intended] and go for the condom....
Hats off to the team !!!
It would be interesting, if super markets also started selling, better still manufacturing them... Consider "Safeway Condoms" with lightening the load would be an interesting proposition.... please note that this is only a proposal.....
So how would one classify a female who is bindaas...
Apart from the physical expression these picture perfect models should have...
Sparkling Eyes.. from HONESTY
They should be....
Veggie, Vegan or Fruitarian...
Compassionate & Considerate. Does not use plastic, or something similar...
Have some amount of Grey Cells....that most of them lack and get away with being classified as Bindaas
Been to a lot of places and done a lot of things...
Husband and Kids - Obviously NOT a priority here...
Open to Alternative trends…
Has some form of a PERSONAL Definition... [askin for too much... but !!]
Now as an after-thought....
Edward de Bono hit the nail on the head when he wrote the book, 'I am Right, You are Wrong'.... what more better definition to a 'Bindaas Solution'....

No justice
There was a man who really took care of his body.
He lifted weights and jogged 6 miles a day. One day, he took a look in the mirror and noticed that he was tan all over except his 'thingie' ...
So, he decided to do something about it....
He went to the beach, completely undressed himself and buried himself in the sand, except for his 'thingie,' which he left sticking out.
Two old ladies were strolling along the beach, one using a cane.
Upon seeing the 'thingie' sticking up over the sand, she began to move it around with her cane.
Remarking to the other lady, "There's no justice in the world"
The other lady asked what she meant.
When I was 20, I was curious about it.
When I was 30, I enjoyed it.
When I was 50, I asked for it.
When I was 60, I prayed for it.
When I was 70, I forgot about it.
Now, I am 80 and they are growing wild on the beach and I'm too old to even squat !!!
