Thought for the Day

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?"

Hands started going up. He said,"I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well,"he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty."Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

"VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED"
...Give to the world the BEST you have,the BEST will come back to you!!

Quote for the day

Sometimes we must be hurt to grow,
Sometimes we must fail in order to know,
Sometimes we must lose in order to gain,
Because some lessons in life are best learned through pains!
Have a blesses day.

One of my favourite, picked up from a mail
Dear Tech Support Team:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0.

I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child-processes that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities.

Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Cricket 5.0, BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.

I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0 , but the 'uninstall'
doesn't work on Wife 1.0.

Please help!
Thanks,
"A Troubled User"

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that people complain about.

Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program.

Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!!

It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 5.0.

It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed not to allow this. (Look in your Wife 1.0 Manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child
Support) .

I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the environment.

I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean 2.5, Sweep 3.0, Cook
1.5 and DoLaundry 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs.
Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Sarees 2.1 and Jewellery 5.0

WARNING: DO NOT, under any circumstances, install SecretaryWithShortSkirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support ...

(Un)Productive!!

Case: Company vs. Employees

Statement: Most of the IT companies implement proxy filtering softwares to increase the so-called productive time of the employees and ultimately the Company itself. But does this have the desired effect???

The Judge: Order Order... ( Hearing Starts!)

Defense:
Argument For (Company's Lawyer)
- This helps the internet bandwidth to be "only" utilized for "productive" activity.
- This helps employees to concentrate "only" on work related activities.
- Most of the time user spends on Social Networking sites and Media streaming sites.
- The Deliveries could be delayed due to "un" productive work.
- How about the adult content that one streams in the office?

Offense:
Argument Against ( Employees' Lawyer)
-
The performance doesn't improve much as the request now pass through the proxy software and this slows the surfing speed as well as surfing experience further.
- Does an employee always concentrate on the work the whole day anyway? All work and no play switches a person's mind to Hibernation.
- Blocking social networking site cuts software professional from a society and makes computer his/her only friend.
- Blocking online video sites like YouTube doesn't necessarily increase your productivity. Most of the online free training content by experts are shared on such sites and ultimately media streaming sites are becoming mode of information exchange. Hence, the company is depriving it's employees of some fruitfull content that could have increased their productivity and enabled them to complete a task in less R&D time required otherwise. Every person is not an Einstine to keep on inventing!!
- Ok, the deliveries could be delayed!! Do you keep a person who doesn't work & produce results in time anyway? If you do keep then you have lots of money to spare, buy some extra bandwidth with it!!
- Hmm.. Adult Content! Good Question. Why not apply filter on Adult Content rather than all the sites! Track the individuals down, as the number of such cases would be bare minimum.

The Judge:
Order Order.... Audience Poll!! ( To be Continued..)

Quote that can be discussed

I read the following quote on one of the biker's jackets while travelling to office today -

"If you have failed the first time call it Version 1.0"
I feel it should have been -

"If you have failed the first time call it Beta, and then CTP, and then RC, and then RTM before you finally can call it Version 1.0. But if you succeed call it v1.0!"
