BE PREPARED...

Once Tom, Dick and Harry were going in an auto. They met with an accident and all three of them die.

Yama DharmaRaj was waiting for this moment. He asks Tom and Dick to go to HEAVEN. But, for Harry, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.

Harry is not at all happy with this decision. He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. All three of them served the public. Similarly, took bribes, misused public post etc. He felt that there should be a formal test or a concrete way to decide this, and should not be just based on opinion.

Yama agrees to this and asks all three of them to appear for English test. Tom is asked to spell "INDIA" and he does it correctly. Dick is asked to spell "ENGLAND" and he too passes. It is Harry's turn and he is asked to spell "CZECHOSLOVAKIA".

Harry protests that he doesn't know English. It is not fair that he is given a tough question and thus forced to fail.

Yama agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another chance assuming that Harry should at least feel that Hindi is ideal).

Tom is asked to write "KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW". He writes it easily and passes.
Dick is asked to write "BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN". He too passes.
Harry is asked to write "BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR....." Tough one. He Fails.

Harry is not happy. Being a history student, he preferred only to be tested in History.

Yama says this is the last chance and he would not take any more tests. Tom is
asked: "When did India get Independence?". He replied "1947" and passed.

Dick is asked "How many people died in it?". He gets nervous. Yama asked him
to choose from 100,000 or 200,000 or 300,000 (clue). Dick catches it and says
200,000 and passes.

It's Harry's turn now. Yama asks him to give the Name and Address of each of the
200,000 who died. Harry accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.

MORAL: IF YOUR MANAGEMENT IS DETERMINED TO SCREW YOU, ANTICIPATE IT AND BE PREPARED TO ACCEPT IT. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Impact of Job Change

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a
question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a
bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop
window.
For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver
said:
"Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of
me!"
The passenger apologized and said,
"I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much."
"Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab
driver.", the driver replied. "I've been driving a van carrying dead
bodies for the last 25 years."

Maintaining Relationships

People often wonder why some people have such great friends and manage to keep them...If you manage to apply the following in your life, the same couldworkfor you:

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in highesteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do youknow what I just heard about your friend?" "Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter test." "Triple filter?" "That's right," Socrates continued."Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filtertest. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that whatyou are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, actually I just heard about it and..." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's trueor not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what youare about to tell me about my friend something good?" No, on the contrary..." "

So,

"Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something bad about him, butyou're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's onefilter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded

Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

This is why Socrates was a great philosopher ; was held in such high esteem. If we are able to protect our friends and those we love in this manner, we cannot be influenced by outsiders in having bad notions about them.
