In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.

In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.

In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.

In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.

In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nick or Smelly Susan.

In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.

In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.

In seventh grade your idea of a friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework from the night before that you had.

In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.

In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.

In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.

In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.

In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get into that college/university, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go...

At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.

The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything, helped you p! ! ack up for university and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to give you reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.

Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out ! ! of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever.

The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats.

They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish.

The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend? How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh?

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving? Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better...

The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a challenge.

If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions.

Wake up.. Wake up... Do you know what are you doing? Do you know where are you going? Voice asked by myself to me. This was the voice of my inner self. It's very common that we ask these question to ourselves and also very common that we ignore this question. Do we actually care what we hear or what our voice asks us? I guess we do.... but.. after a minute we get ourselves diverted for our actions without thinking where will be moving and also think that we have time for what we want to do. Actually do we have time, let's take a look -

An average person's life will be 60 years or 21900 days or 1,31,4000 hours.

If an average person sleeps for 8 hours a day then in 60 year sleeping hours will be 175200 hours which will come to 7300 days or 20 years so remaining will be 40 years. Do we have time? Let's see...

During our school days till graduation which comes to 22 years we don't have an idea what we are doing and for what we are doing in some cases like for graduation we would be having a clarity of questions but for most it's still an either unanswered question or worst unasked question.

So we will remove 22 years from remaining 40 years and we will be left with 18 years or 6570 days.

If we have completed our graduation then it will be our moral responsibility to opt for job and work for 8 hours which will be on paper but off the paper we can't stay but still we would consider 8 hours as standard so we will be at office doing work either we like it or don't then fighting with office politics, lobbies, bossism, egoism and everything therefore it forces us to reduce 38160 hours which means 1590 days which is 4 years.

So we will remove 4 years from 18 which leave us with 14 years.

We work a lot, fight a lot so we ought to take off on weekends on calculation there are 100 weekends in a year so for 14 year we will be having 1400 days of weekends and that is 4 years.

So we will remove 4 years from 14 years and will be left with 10 years.

I guess lot of calculation has been done so we will take sometime off for family, friends, relatives, recreational activities like movies, drama, games, picnics, family outing so time for that can be considered as 4 hours on an average which will would 1060 hours in an year and 10600 hours in 10 years which will be 442 days or 1 years

So we will remove 1 year from 10 years and will be left with 9 years.

With all calculations and many more manipulations our end days will be exhausted and say before 2 years we will be all exhausted.

So we will remove 2 year and will be left with 7 years,

Now, let get back to our previous question do we have time for what we want to do? We also know that it’s never too late for begin what we want to do. So next time you hear something don’t ignore it’s your voice. Wake up! Wake up!

This is a real incident that happened in a local hospital in Bangalore, India. A 4 year old girl was admitted due to leg fracture.

As it was an open fracture, she had to undergo an operation to stitch the protruding bone back in place. Though it was quite a minor operation, she was hooked on to life support system, as a part of the process. The doctors had to input some data prior to the operation to suit different conditions. Thereafter, the operation proceeded. Half way through the process, the life support system suddenly went dead. The culprit: - Some one was using his/her hand-phone outside the operation theater.

And the frequency had affected the system. They tried to track the fellow but to no avail. The little girl, young and innocent as she was, died soon after.

* Message*: "Be compassionate! Do not use your hand phone /mobiles especially at any hospitals or within the Aircraft or any places where you are told not to use it.. You might not be caught in the act, but you might have killed someone without knowing". Sometimes it's a matter of Life & Death....!!!!

As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not.

I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Is it just a really weird bug?

There are 12 important organs in our body, which will be at its peak for two hours a day. Normal health or disease of any person depends on this factor. To lead a healthy life , one should learn one's own body functioning language.

* Call People by Name. The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his/her own name.

* Learn to understand first and to be understood second.

* Don't underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

* Life ends when you stop Dreaming, Hope ends when you stop Believing, Love ends when you stop Caring, Friendship ends when you stop Sharing...

* Every moment, every situation, every issue and every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to life....

* Be Genuinely Interested in People. If you try, you can like everybody, and Every body will like you.

A smile costs nothing but gives much.

It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

A smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, For it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction. I told you so .....And there's nothing you can do about it
