^!_@_!^Banta Singh's business^!_@_!^

Today at 03:46:24 PM by ♫♪ ♪♫ Big bunny ♫♪ ♪♫

Banta Singh’s Furniture Business:
Banta Singh was a business graduate, and had been out
of school for several years. He had established a
furniture store and was doing quite well. He decided
to expand the lines he carried by adding some
expensive French furniture he knew no one else in town
carried.
He scheduled a buying trip to France. Banta's first
day in Paris was very successful and he found a number
of pieces he thought he could profitably sell back
home. After the arrangements were made to begin
shipping this furniture home, he decided to celebrate
with a glass of wine in a small sidewalk cafe.
The place was packed but he managed to find an empty
table. Just about the time his wine arrived, a
beautiful girl came by and motioned to the empty chair
at his table with a questioning look on her face. He
assumed she wanted to sit with him and nodded his head
"yes." The girl sat down with him.
The girl tried to talk to him, but, alas, he
understood not one word of French. He tried to talk to
her, but, alas, she understood not one word of
Punjabi. He had an idea. He took a napkin and drew a
wine glass and a question mark. She nodded her head
"yes." They sat quietly enjoying their wine.
When it was just about finished, Banta realised it was
nearly time for dinner. He took another napkin and
drew a picture of two people at a table eating dinner.
She nodded her head "yes" and took him by the hand.
She led him down the street to a very nice restaurant.
They went in. The girl spoke with the head waiter and
they were seated in a quiet corner where they could
hear the band playing and see the dance floor. Banta
could not read the menu since it was in French, so he
allowed the girl to order for him. The food was
excellent and the couple thoroughly enjoyed .
After dinner, Banta took a napkin and drew a picture
of a couple dancing. She nodded her head "yes" and
they danced to every song the band played, whether
fast or slow. When the band quit playing and began to
pack away their instruments, the couple returned to
their table.
The girl took a napkin and reached for Banta's pen. He
handed it to her and she drew a picture of a four
poster bed..........!
To this day, Banta is still wondering how she knew he
was in the furniture business !!!!!

Strengthen Your Performances from a True Story...

Today at 01:25:56 PM by AIRWAVES

Lessons of the Square Watermelon :

Japanese grocery stores had a problem. They are much smaller than shops in the USA and therefore don't have room to waste. Watermelons, big and round, wasted a lot of space. Most people would simply tell the grocery stores that watermelons grow round and there is nothing that can be done about it.


That is how majority of people would respond. But some Japanese farmers took a different approach. If the supermarkets wanted a square watermelon, they asked themselves, 'How can we provide one?' It wasn't long before they invented the square watermelon.





The solution to the problem of round watermelons was not to solve as the farmers did not assume it was impossible  - and simply asked how it could be done.
They found out that if you put the watermelon in a square box when they are growing, the watermelon will take on the shape of the box - and grow into a square fruit.



This made the grocery stores happy and had the added benefit that it was much easier and cost effective to ship the watermelons. Consumers also loved them because they took less space in their refrigerators which are much smaller than those in the US meaning that the growers could charge a premium price for them.

 




What does this have do with anything in life or at our Job? There are a few Lessons that can you can take away from this story which help you :



Don't Assume: The major problem was that most people had always seen round watermelons so they automatically assumed that square watermelons were impossible before even thinking about the question.. Things that you have been doing a certain way your entire life have taken on the aura of the round watermelon and you likely don't even take the time to consider if there is another way to do it. Breaking yourself from assuming this way can greatly improve your overall life as you are constantly looking for new and better ways to do things. [/color]

Question habits: The best way to tackle these assumptions is to question your habits. If you can make an effort to question the way you do things on a consistent basis, you will find that you can continually improve the way that you work. Forming habits when they have been well thought out is usually a positive thing, but most of us have adopted our habits from various people and places without even thinking about them.

Be creative: When faced with a problem, be creative in looking for a solution. This often requires thinking outside the box. Most people who viewed this question likely thought they were being asked how they could genetically alter water melons to grow square which would be a much more difficult process to accomplish. By looking at the question from an alternative perspective, however, the solution was quite simple. Being creative and looking at things in different ways in all portions of your live will help you find solutions to many problems where others can't see them


Look for a better way: The square watermelon question was simply seeking a better and more convenient way to do something. The stores had flagged a problem they were having and asked if a solution was possible. It's impossible to find a better way if you are never asking the question in the first place. Get into the habit of asking yourself, 'Is there a better way I could be doing this?' and you will find there often is

Impossibilities often aren't : If you begin with the notion that something is impossible, then it obviously will be for you. If, on the other hand, you decide to see if something is possible or not, you will find out through trial and error.   Take away the lessons from the square watermelons and apply them to all areas in your life (work, finances, relationships, etc) and you will find that by consistently applying them, you will constantly be improving all aspects of your life.

I am sure we can bring about change if we really want to.

Cricketers !!! howzzzaaat!!

Today at 06:25:31 AM by unni_feroke

Most cricketers, who are not comfortable in conversing in English, go prepare for some standard questions that are asked to them when commentators chat with them during the awards ceremony. Inzamam was once asked a different question after Pakistan won the match, for which he was not prepared. He always used his standard response to the first question after winning



But this time.....
After Winning the Match

Tony Greg : So Inzi, that's fantastic, your wife is pregnant for the second time and u must be happy!

Inzamam : Thanks Tony?,?.! All credit goes to the boys. Everyone work hard for it, especially Afridi. It was tight situation when he went in. Also Bob Woolmer was keeping close watch on progress and giving instructions. It's all team effort. Insha Allah, we all will work together as a team, put in big effort and deliver good result all the time and will be able to REPEAT the same result.


Tony fainted!!!!! !

Which One Is Married?

Today at 05:58:56 AM by unni_feroke

Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question.
 
 "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?"
 
"None." replied Johnny, "cause the rest would fly away."
 
"Well, the answer is four," said the teacher. "But I like the way you are thinking."
 
Little Johnny said, "I have a question for you now. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one licking her cone, the second biting her cone, and the third one sucking her cone, which one is married?"
 
 "Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone?"
 
"No," said Little Johnny, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger. But I like the way you are thinking
