COFFEE OR THE CUP???????


A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. 
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves,
that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each others cups. 

"Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Quality of life is determined by how content and happy we are at any moment, irrespective of our situation, circumstances and environment. Of course we need cups to hold the coffee, but the quality of coffee is more important than the quality and quantity of cups. We may have the best of "cups", but quality of "coffee" may be poor. 
 

"Some times, by concentrating only on the "cup", we fail to enjoy the "coffee" in it."
 We compromise on life and spoil our health and peace of mind in accumulating the "cups". Time, health and the quality of life that we have lost can never be gained by all the wealth in the world. At the end of the day what matters most is whether we are happy or not.
 

Focus on improving the
QUALITY OF LIFE rather than increasing the quantity and quality of "CUPS". 
 

Don't let the "cups" drive you... 
Enjoy the "coffee" instead

Ways to Ask Your Kids 'So How Was School Today

Ways to Ask Your Kids 'So How Was School Today'?
QUESTIONS
This year, Simon is in fourth grade and Grace is in first grade, and I find myself asking them every day after school, "So how was school today?"
And every day I get an answer like "fine" or "good," which doesn't tell me a whole lot.
AND I WANT TO KNOW A WHOLE LOT!!!!
Or at least get a full sentence. So the other night, I sat down and made a list of more engaging questions to ask about school. They aren't perfect, but I do at least get complete sentences, and some have led to some interesting conversations... and hilarious answers... and some insights into how my kids think and feel about school.
1. What was the best thing that happened at school today? (What was the worst thing that happened at school today?)
2. Tell me something that made you laugh today.
3. If you could choose, who would you like to sit by in class? (Who would you NOT want to sit by in class? Why?)
4. Where is the coolest place at the school?
5. Tell me a weird word that you heard today. (Or something weird that someone said.)
6. If I called your teacher tonight, what would she tell me about you?
7. How did you help somebody today?
8. How did somebody help you today?
9. Tell me one thing that you learned today.
10. When were you the happiest today?
11. When were you bored today?
12. If an alien spaceship came to your class and beamed someone up, who would you want them to take?
13. Who would you like to play with at recess that you've never played with before?
14. Tell me something good that happened today.
15. What word did your teacher say most today?
16. What do you think you should do/learn more of at school?
17. What do you think you should do/learn less of at school?
18. Who in your class do you think you could be nicer to?
19. Where do you play the most at recess?
20. Who is the funniest person in your class? Why is he/she so funny?
21. What was your favorite part of lunch?
22. If you got to be the teacher tomorrow, what would you do?
23. Is there anyone in your class who needs a time-out?
24. If you could switch seats with anyone in the class, who would you trade with? Why?
25. Tell me about three different times you used your pencil today at school.
So far, my favorite answers have come from questions 12, 15 and 21. Questions like the "alien" one give kids a non-threatening way to say who they would rather not have in their class, and open the door for you to have a discussion to ask why, potentially uncovering issues you didn't know about before.
And the answers we get are sometimes really surprising. When I asked question 3, I discovered that one of my children didn't want to sit by a best friend in class anymore -- not out of a desire to be mean or bully, but in the hope they'd get the chance to work with other people.
As my kids get older, I know I am going to have to work harder and harder to stay engaged with them -- but I know it's going to be worth the work.

What Is Ebola Virus?

What is  Ebola ?

It's a virus that attacks a person’s blood system:

Ebola is what scientists call a hemorrhagic fever - it operates by making its victims bleed from almost anywhere on their body. Usually victims bleed to death.

Ebola is highly contagious; Being transmitted via contact with body fluids such as blood, sweat, saliva, semen or other body discharges.

Ebola is however NOT AN AIRBORNE VIRUS!


EXTREMELY deadly: About 90% of people that catch Ebola will die from it. It's one of the deadliest diseases in the world, killing in just a few weeks.

Untreatable(no cure): Ebola has no known treatment or cure. Victims are usually treated for symptoms with the faint hope that they recover.

How Do I Know Someone has Ebola?

Fever Headache Diarrhoea Vomiting Weakness Joint Muscle pains Stomach Pain Lack of Appetite

Protect Yourself: •Wash Your Hands with Soap Do this a lot. You can also use a good hand sanitizer. Avoid unnecessary physical contact with people.

Restrict yourself to food you prepared yourself.

Disinfect Your Surroundings The virus cannot survive disinfectants,heat, direct sunlight,detergents and soaps.

Clean up!: •Fumigate If you have Pests. •Rodents can be carriers of Ebola. •Fumigate your environment dispose off the carcasses properly! •Dead bodies CAN still transmit Ebola. •Don't touch them without protective gear or better yet avoid them altogether.

Protect Yourself: •Use protective gear if you must care or go near someone you suspect has Ebola.


Report: •Report any suspicious symptoms in yourself or anyone else IMMEDIATELY.

Do not delay!

Making a Difference

A man was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along he began to see another man in the distance.
 
As he grew nearer he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up, and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean.
 
As our friend approached even closer he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had washed up onto the beach, and one at a time, he was throwing them back into the ocean.
 
The first man was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good Evening Friend, I was wondering what are you doing?" And he replied, "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they will die from the lack of oxygen."
"I understand," my friend replied "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach and you couldn't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many and don't you realize that this is happening on hundreds of beaches up and down this coast ... can't you see that that you can't possibly make a difference?
 
The local native smiled, bent down, picked up yet another starfish ... and as he threw it back out into the sea, he replied, "It made a difference to that one!" label: Short story
 
You may feel like you cannot make a difference in the world today, but you CAN make a difference in one life at a time.
 
-Never underestimate your own efforts. You too could make a difference.
-Don't ask what the world could do for you, seek what you could do to the world

Einstein


 Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the
conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every
passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his
vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his 
trouser pockets. It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase
but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He
still couldn't find it.

The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all
know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry
about it.'

Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the
aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car,
he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands
and knees looking under his seat for his ticket.

The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein,
don't worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don't need a
ticket. I'm sure you bought one.'

Einstein looked at him and said,
 
'Young man, I too, know who Iam.
 
What I don't know is where I'm going.'

BANTA’S LETTER


Dear Banta,

      I am in a well here and hoping you are in the same well there. I am writing this letter slowly because I know you cannot read fast.
   We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the news paper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.

   I won't be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with him for their new house so they would not have to change their new address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to bring our earlier address plate here, so that our address will remain same too.

    This place here is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the commode. I'm not sure it works. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since.

     The weather isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

      The coat you wanted me to send you, your aunt said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

     Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass in the cemetery. By the way I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is really badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in this club. We were confused to which piece we should remove.

        Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an aunt or uncle.

       Your uncle, Jithender fell in a nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.
  
P.S: Beta, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.
