All Things are possible

Vikas,

It is such a wonderful and heart touching story. It reminds me of the days when I used to go to any extreme in order to help my friends. But not always, the outcome of that help had always been rewarding for me. I think there should be some sense of practicality also in us and we should not do all things taking it by heart. Sometimes, we should use our brains also as that son used to help out his old father.

Vikas, keep posting such interesting stories so that visiting this board becomes more of a habit for all of us.

Thanks Vikas
Roxette

That is a funny story, I know I have seen that one before, how ingenious the son was to drop a few hints to get help digging the garden up.

Never know how help will come, but it can be interesting.

Thanks Roxette and Pammila for reading the story :) .

I read these kinda stories but some stories really are smart. During our management studies we were taught the basic difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions,I am posting the case studies over here, please read it is really worth for a thought.

Case 1

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in
practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil :) .


Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department.
For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee
amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line. :D I must say very smart

Now they are funny, sad but funny to know how much was spent trying to solve easy problems like that.

It reminds me to share something about Einstein when he was busy experimenting on something in his laboratory. He used a couple of rats to test his experiments. One fine morning, when he was busy in his lab, his rats started playing in front of him. As a result he was getting distracted and getting annoyed he made two holes on the side of the wall. One hole was large for the larger rat and the other hole was small for the smaller rat. He did this so that he can lock them out of the room whenever he was busy.

Now, what really adds to my surprise is that Einstein being such a renowned Physicist didn't use this logic while digging the holes that a larger hole can be used for both the rats. Instead of creating two different holes for the two cats. :shock: :roll: :) :D

Have you seen the movie "A beautiful mind???, where Russell Crowe played John Nash? Great people go through difficult times too.

Now hang on to your seat.

And here's the "kicker":

AND.....................:

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...

Creepy, huh?

Howzzzaat????

Yeah, there are still certain things in heaven and on earth that science cannot explain.

These posts are really interesting, Keep posting such posts. These are tintin type posts and I am loving it :D

I thought of sharing something about Bill Gates which I heard some time back.

THE BILL GATES AS WE KNOW HIM:

Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND, that's about $20 Million a DAY and
$7.8 Billion a YEAR!

If he drops thousand dollars, he shouldn't even bother to pick it up
because the 4 seconds it takes to pick it up, he would've already
earned it back.

The US national debt is about $5.62 trillion.

If Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself, he will pay it off in
less then 10 years.

He can donate $15 to everyone on earth and still be left with $5
Million as his pocket money.

Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn't drink
and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. $30 Million, he'll have
to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.

If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on
earth.

Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another
35 years, he has to spend $6.78 Million per day to finish all his
money before he can depart from here.

If you change all of Bill Gate's money to $1 notes, you can make a
road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But it would take
1,400 years (non-stop) to build that road, and use a total of 713
(Boeing 747) planes to transport all that money.

Here is the last bit of information on his wealth:

If Microsoft Windows' users can claim $1 for every time their
computers hang because of Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in just
3 years!

When you started the talk about Bill Gates and Windows Hanging frequency , I remember one more person, one who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL " key combination?

You guessed it right , He is David Bradley.He is the one who spent 1 minute and 23 seconds writing the source code that has rescued and will cointinue to rescue PC users worldwide for decades.

This extraordinary IBM employee retired on Friday,
January 14, 2005; after a prolonged service of 29 years. His formula forces obstinate computers to restart when they no longer follow other commands. By 1980, Bradley was one of 12 people working on the debut. The engineers knew they had to design a simple way to restart the computer whenever it fails to respond to the user. Bradley wrote the code to make it work.

Bradley says -
[quote]"I did a lot of other things than Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I'm famous for that one." His fame and success is achieved each time a PC user fails. He commented on his relationship with Bill gates by saying, "I may have invented it, but Bill gates made it famous by applying my formula when ever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him
CRASHES.

Thus I win when ever he loses."[/quote]

Quite an interesting post Tintin :D

Hey,this pub is becoming a real hang out joint of multi-flavored discussions. Keep this happening and intrigue us ever more. :roll: :D

Love,
Jason

Since Jason mentioned that this pub is becoming a hang-out of multi-flavored discussions, so I felt like sharing some knock-outs :lol:

One day a father asks to his son, "Son, don't you think that I know much more than your age. I have seen more in this world and so I know more than you." :o
The son replied,??? Well in that case, father, you tell me who invented gravitation?" :D
The proud father replied,??? Newton."
So the son smiles and says,??? See, Newton knew much more than his father." :lol:

The teacher took the school children on an outing and asked some of the students,??? Is the train running on time?"
One of the students replied,"No Ma'm, the train is running on wheels."

Keep posting some more and we all will enjoy here :D
