A Lesson for LIFE

A Lesson for LIFE A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes.

When the boy was around two years old,one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all.

It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. What do you think were the four words?

…………………… ……………… ……………… ………….

The husband just said “I Love You Darling”

The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened.

No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn’t forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do?

 Treasure what you have. Don’t multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?

In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007,
this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.  During
that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them
on their way to work.  After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that
there was a musician playing.  He slowed his pace and stopped for a few
seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.

About 4 minutes later:

The violinist received his first dollar.  A woman threw money in the hat
and, without stopping, continued to walk.

At 6 minutes:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his
watch and started to walk again.

At 10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly.  The
kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and
the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time.  This action
was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception
- forced their children to move on quickly.

At 45 minutes:

The musician played continuously.  Only 6 people stopped and listened for a
short while.  About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal
pace.  The man collected a total of $32.

After 1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over.  No one noticed and no one
applauded.  There was no recognition at all.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest
musicians in the world.  He played one of the most intricate pieces ever
written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.  Two days before, Joshua
Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit
and listen to him play the same music.

This is a true story.  Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro
Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment
about perception, taste and people's priorities.

This experiment raised several questions:
     *In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we
perceive beauty?
     *If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
     *Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians
in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the
most beautiful instruments ever made . . ..

How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?

A Nice Article about Love

by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!! and Love it...!

“Important of Effort in your Life….!!!”

This is the story of the giant ship engine that failed ?

The ship's owners tried one expert after another,

but none of them could figure it out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since 

he was a youngster. 

He carried a large bag of tools with him,& when he arrived, 

he immediately went to work.

He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man,

hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, 

the old man searched into his bag & pulled out a small hammer.  

He gently tapped something. & instantly, the engine lurched into life

& got started.

He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed.!  

A week later, The owner received a bill from the old man for ten thousand $.

"What….?" the owner exclaimed. "He hardly did anything.... !"  

So they wrote the old man a note 

saying "Please send us an Itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer…...$ 2.00
But knowing where to hammer.....$  9998.00

Total $ Ten Thousand Only…..10,000/-

Moral of The Story:
“ Effort is important in life, but

   knowing where to make an effort in your life,
   Makes all the difference…..!!!”

Management Lesson

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus,
and drove off along the route.
No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off,
and things went generally well.


At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on.
Six feet eight,built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.
He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!"
and sat down at the back.


Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek?
Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John,
but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened -
Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down.
And the next day, and the next.


This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John
was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer.
signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff.


By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong;
what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said,
"Big John doesn't pay!"


The driver stood up, glared back at the passenger,
and screamed, "And why not?"


With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied,
"Big John has a bus pass."


Management Lesson: "Be sure there is a problem in the first place
before working hard to solve one."

Money ! Excellent

It is August. In a small town on the South Coast of France, holiday season

is in full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business
happening. Everyone is heavily in debt.

Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local
hotel. He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter,

takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third
floor.

The hotel owner takes the banknote in hurry and rushes to his meat supplier
to whom he owes E100.
The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt.
The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some
time ago.
The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave
him her services on credit.
The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she owed the hotel! for her
hourly room use to entertain clients.
At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and informs the

hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back

and departs.

There was no profit or income. But everyone no longer has any debt and the
small town people look optimistically towards their future.

COULD THIS BE THE SOLUTION TO THE Global Financial Crisis?

An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son,
who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss
doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a

Garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you

weren’t in prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s
where I buried the GUNS!!’

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug
up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do
next.

His son’s reply was: ‘Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad... It’s the best I could do for you from
here.’

Moral:
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO

SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT.
IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS... NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE
THE PERSON IS….

Recession

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.

But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.

As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father. Then something strange happened.

The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."

The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colourful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.

The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! !!


What can we take away from this story??
1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?
2. Choose your advisers carefully but use your own judgment
3. A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5 Cs * Character * Commitment * Conviction * Courtesy * Courage

The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures.

The More practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is -
This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big organization
This is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest asset
This is the time to show more commitments to the customers
This is the time show values of our company to the world
This is the time to stand by our Nation

Weakness = More powerful Strength in life…

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had
lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy began lessons with an
old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't
understand why, after three months of training the master had taught
him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be
learning more moves?"
"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll
ever need to know," the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but
believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first
tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two
matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some
time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used
his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy
was now in the finals. For a while, the boy appeared to be
overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt,

The referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when
the sensei intervened." No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake:
he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him.
The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and
every match.Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really
on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one
move?"

"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered.
"First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in
all of judo. And second,the only known defense for that move is for
your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

moral of the story-
Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame others,
for the circumstances and our self for it, but we never know that our
weakness can become our strength one day. Each of us is special and
important in this world, so never think you have any weakness, never
think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and
extract the best out of it!

THE BUILDER

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his

employer-contractor of his plans to leave the
house-building business and live a more leisurely life
with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would
miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could
get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and
asked if he could build just one more house as a
personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it
was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He
resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior
materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his
career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder
came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the
front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house,"
he said, "my gift to you."



What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he
was building his own house, he would have done it all
so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had
built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted
way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up
less than the best. At important points we do not give
the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at
the situation we have created and find that we are now
living in the house we have built. If we had realized,
we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your
house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or
erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you
will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day
more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and
with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a
do-it-yourself project."

Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the
result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your
life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and
the choices you make today

Feel Good Rules

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, ‘learn from them’..

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

MOTIVATION

DIFFERENT THINGS MOTIVATE DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Internal motivation comes from within, such as pride, a sense of

Achievement, responsibility and belief.

There was a young boy who used to come for regular practice but always

Played in the reserves and never made it to the soccer eleven. While he

Was practicing, his father used to sit at the far end, waiting for him.

The matches had started and for four days, he didn't show up for

Practice or the quarter or semifinals. All of a sudden he showed up for

the finals, went to the coach and said, "Coach, you have always kept me

in the reserves and never let me play in the finals. But today, please

let me play."

The coach said, "Son, I'm sorry, I can't let you. There are better

players than you and besides, it is the finals, the reputation of the

school is at stake and I cannot take a chance." The boy pleaded, "Coach,

I promise I will not let you down. I beg of you, please let me play."

The coach had never seen the boy plead like this before. He said, "OK,

son, go, play. But remember, I am going against my better judgment and

the reputation of the school is at stake. Don't let me down." The game

started and the boy played like a house on fire. Every time he got the

ball, he Shot a goal. Needless to say, he was the best player and the

star of the game. His team had a spectacular win. When the game

finished, the coach went up to him and said, "Son, how could I have been

so wrong in my life. I have never seen you play like this before. What

happened?

How did you play so well?" The boy replied, "Coach, my father is

watching me today."

The coach turned around and looked at the place where the boy's father

used to sit. There was no one there. He said, "Son, your father used to

sit there when you came for practice, but I don't see anyone there

today." The boy replied, "Coach, there is something I never told you. My

father was blind. Just four days ago, he died. Today is the first day he

is watching me from above."

Internal Motivation

Internal motivation is the inner gratification, not for success or

Winning, but for the Fulfillment that comes from having done it. It is a

Feeling of accomplishment, rather than just achieving a goal.

Smart Entrepreneur

Smart Entrepreneur

"We are not asking corporations to do something different from their normal business; we are asking them to do their normal business differently…"

Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General, to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, 2 September 2002

Smart Entrepreneur puts on the notice board the benefits resulting from integrated management of environmental, social and economic issues. It tells employees: "You can't manage what you don't measure." It introduces performance indicators that are easy to measure and evaluate.

If it were easy to become a millionaire there'd be more of them. And while there are no set guidelines on how to be a smart entrepreneur, there are certain characteristic qualities that are required to make a success of your business. You may already have these qualities are probably others you may need to develop. In short, you will need to be able to determine your weaknesses and think up ways to eliminate them by becoming stronger in those areas. If you have entrepreneurial skills then you will recognize a genuine opportunity when you come across one.

Being a Smart Entrepreneur, you want to work smarter and not harder to grow your business quickly. You realize that the best resources for entrepreneurs like you are Who You Know and What You Know.

Who You Know: You cannot succeed in business without the help of other people. You need to constantly leverage on:

Other People's Money

Other People's Experience

Other People's Ideas

Other People's Time

Other People's Work

Being smart, you need to constantly build your network to include people who can provide you with the above. It is important to not be selfish while building this network. Do not interact with the short term view of what they can do for you. Keep giving of yourself to them and they will reward you ten times over in return.

What You Know: Knowledge is Power. Your education did not stop when you graduated. You need to adopt a habit of life long learning if you want to stay smart. However, you do not need to know everything; you just need to know what resources for entrepreneurs you can access.

Make a habit of learning something new everyday and you will keep ahead of the competition. Take a look around at your business / friends circle. You will find even more advice and resources for entrepreneurs like you.

I have been Greatly Influenced by This Old Parable:

There was a Saint who had a vision about what it was like in Hell & Heaven.

In Hell he saw a huge table laden with food in the centre. Surrounding the table were starving people who all had very long forks attached to the ends of their arms. They could stab the food, but the forks were too long for them to put the food in their mouths. They were all screaming in frustration as they tried to eat the food that they longed for.

In Heaven, the saint saw the exact same table laden with food & people with the long forks at the ends of their arms. However, here the people were all smiling & enjoying the food. What they were doing was stabbing the food & putting it in EACH Other's mouths!

The moral of the story is that our heaven & hell is right here on earth, how much we want to help others & be helped in return is what makes the difference.

VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION INDEED.

Read this. It is a 100% challenge that u will have a wrong answer
to the question asked in the passage.

Once there was loving couple traveling in a bus in a mountainous
area. They decided to get down at some place. After the couple got
down at some place the bus moved on. As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on board was killed. The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus" Why do u think they said that?

Scroll down for answer









Come on think again ......












Come on try hard.....








------------ ------- Answer !!!! ------------ -------

If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down, the
resulting time delay could have been avoided and the rock would have
fallen after the bus had passed ..!!! Think positive in life always
and look for opportunities when u can help Others......

Many times in life, the opposite of Success is not Failure, its
Quitting.

Winners never quit, quitters never Win .

Never expect things to happen. struggle and make them happen.

Never expect yourself to be given a good value...create a value of ur
own.

"PARABLE OF THE ROSE"

A certain man planted a rose & watered it faithfully,

& before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud

that would soon blossom also have thorns with it. &

he thought, *How can any beautiful flower come from

a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?*

He felt very sad by this thought, & he neglected to water

the rose, & before it was ready to bloom, it died……......

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose.

All these qualities planted in us at birth growing

amid the thorns of our faults.

Many of us look at ourselves & see only the thorns,

[the defects].

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly

come from us.

We neglect to water the good deeds within us,

& eventually it dies.

We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves;

someone else must show it to them.

One of the greatest gifts to a person can possess

is to be able to reach past the thorns

& find the rose within others...... ..

This is the characteristic of love,

To look at a person, & knowing his faults,

Recognize the nobility in his soul, & help him

to realize that he can overcome his faults...... .

If we show him the rose, he will conquer the thorns.

Then it will blossom hundred- folds as it is given to him.

‘’ Our duty in this world is to help others by showing them

their roses & not their thorns [the defects]……….’’

"Your attitude will determine your altitude in life."

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them. Can we convert our Breakdowns into Breakthroughs.

COmmitment to Exellence

Do not measure yourself by what you have accomplished but by what you
should
have accomplished with your abilities.

An efficient businessman who found a machine that would do half his
work ,
bought two.

Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the
dark.You
know what you are doing but nobody else does.

I cannot give you the formula for success, but i can give you the
formula
for failure: Try to please everybody.

Great minds must be ready..not only to take opportunities,but to
make them.

A winner is someone who sets his goals, commits himself to those
goals , and
then pursues his goals with all the ability given to him.

People forget how fast you did a job....but they remember how well
you did
it.

Many of life's failures are men who did not realise how close they
were to
success when they gave up.

so...............Never Never Never ..QUIT.

''Success Breeds Success''

There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm.

Each year, he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honors. & Prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something
interesting about how he grew his corn. 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,

'' the farmer replied, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains

from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard & poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily

degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help

my neighbors to grow good corns."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His
corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves. So it is
in the other dimensions and areas of life!

Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbors and
colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help
others live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches...

Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory
and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas and new
knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbors & all.

As they say: “Success breeds Success."
