Think Outside the Box

Be careful while you answering, No one will GET second chance to impress….

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,it’s raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?

He simply answered:
“I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.”
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to “Think Outside the Box.”

A small touching story

A small touching story mainly for professionals…

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON:   “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
DAD:   “Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.
SON:   “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
DAD:   “That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”
the man said angrily.
SON:    ”I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?”
DAD:    ”If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour.”
SON:     “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON:   “Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?”
The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you
can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then
you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this
childish behavior.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little
boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to
think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs.50 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to

the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.  “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier” said the
man.
“It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.. Here’s the
Rs.50 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you daddy!” He
yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father.

“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father
grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with
you.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We
should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some

time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days.

But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the
rest of their lives.  And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than to our family. 

Little girl and her father – beautiful message

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
‘Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.’
The little girl said, ‘No, Dad. You hold my hand.’
‘What’s the difference?’ Asked the puzzled father.
‘There’s a big difference,’ replied the little girl.
 
‘If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,
you will never let my hand go.’

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours…
This message is too short……but carries a lot of Feelings.
