Azim Premji's Comment on reservation !!!Its awesome!!!

Hi Friends!


Have a look at this! How convincigly an intelligent man speaks out his
heart at the no-sense move made by Indian politicians. I hope that strikes
them somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PASS IT ON........!


Wipro chairman Mr. Azim Premji's comment on reservation:


I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely
support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the
reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation
for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be
modified accordingly.


The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by
an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC player
should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be
declared as a century.


We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib
Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player.


Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player.


Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.


Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC
player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.


There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and
OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians
(that can really help the country...)


Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers
and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...)


Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward...
Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
Let's be proud of being an INDIAN...


May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live...

Something we all should learn....

Grow along with others and not grow at the cost of others

There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honor and prizes. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn." If we are to grow good quality corn, we must help our neighbors grow good quality corn too....

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves. So it is in other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbors and colleagues to be at peace, those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

Only way to grow in an Organization is - to grow along with others and not grow at the cost of others!
If you help enough people get what they want, you'll get what you want.

Like the mighty oak tree, our challenge as human beings is to continually regenerate ourselves by deepening our roots and extending our reach – Zig Ziglar

The Wooden Bowl

The Wooden Bowl

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and
four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his
eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate
together at the table.

But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made
eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When
he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food
on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family
enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or
two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometime
he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words
the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he
dropped a fork or spilled food.


The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing
with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly,
'What are you making?'
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little
bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.'
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words struck the parents so that they were speechless.
Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no
word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently
led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days
he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither
husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was
dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens,
how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better
tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way
he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage,
and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your
parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as
making a 'life.'

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's
mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But
if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your
work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.



I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch
someone.



I've learned that I still have a lot to learn!
