Question - ???

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. 

            A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, meets a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was simply 'amazing', very much of her dream guy, she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right  there, but never asked for his number and could not find him.

........A few days later she killed her FIRST sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

(Give this some thought before you answer).

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

Relax While Work.

This might be useful to u.
 

 suggestions

 

Try not to use the intercom,ip messanger. Rather, walk to your colleagues and discuss matters.

Stretches your back, and leg muscles. Helps build rapport with colleagues. Relaxes your eyes and ears. Relaxes your neck.

Drink lots of water / liquids.

Will require you to walk to the rest room regularly. Good stress buster

Small meals at regular intervals

Keeps away acidity. Makes you walk to the cafeteria thus providing exercise.

Laughter is the best medicine

Hard works is good, but let us not lose our sense of humour. Learn to laugh for everything. Stress buster, good for face muscles and eyes. Sharpens thinking capabilities. Mainly, laughter is contagious.

20, 20, 20, 20 rule - Every 20 minutes, look at an object at least 20 meters away for at least 20 seconds. After that blink your eyes 20 times before you resume on the computer

Good for eyes, neck, back. You get to chose what object you want to look at!

Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground

Good for back, neck and leg muscles. Keeps Ego in check!

Use an external mouse (Laptop users). Rest you elbow where ever possible

Good for neck, back, arms, shoulders and wrist.

Ensure that you chair is adjusted to optimum height and the back-rest is adjusted to normal (rather than recline)

Good for back and neck

Use speaker-phones for long calls (calls for more than 20 minutes)

Less stressful and enables more movement of the body.

Get it off you. Talk to someone about anything that bothers you.

All of us have stress. It is how we manage it. Make friends in office to whom you can open your heart out. Honest discussions very often provide answers to difficult situations.

 

Certain simple techniques to cope with our increasingly demanding work-styles


All of us spend 9 hours in office and we need to learn to enjoy those 9 hours

 Happy working...!!!

A Budding Businessman ...good one

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. 
The woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing  that the little boy is in there already.
The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes, it is."
Boy: "I have a baseball."
Man: "That's nice"
Boy: "Want to buy it?"
Man: "No, thanks."
Boy: "My Dad 's outside."
Man: "OK, how much?"
Boy: "$250" 
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together.
Boy: "Dark in here."
Man: "Yes, it is."
Boy: "I have a baseball glove."
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy: "$750"

Man: "Sold."   

 

A few days later, the Dad says to the boy, "Grab your glove, let's go outside and have a game of catch." 
The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseball and my glove." 
The Dad asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
Boy: "$1,000" 
The Dad says, "That's terrible to over charge your friends like that...that is way more than those two things cost. I'm taking you to church, to confession." 
They go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door. 
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that $hit again;
You're in my closet now."

10 Secrets to Happiness

10 Secrets to Happiness

 

1) Be happy where you are now

Right now! Be thankful for what you have, instead of moaning about what you lack. Be satisfied with what you have when you are in pursuit of what you want.

2) Happiness, more than anything, is a choice we make every day

Happiness is a conscious decision. You choose to be happy today or you choose to be miserable. Your action/reaction is determined by how you choose to perceive a situation. Andrew gave an amusing illustration of a couple surrounded by a pack of crocodiles. The man thought “OMG Crocodiles!” while his wife thought “OMG Handbags!”

3) Happiness is understanding the things we can’t change yet and working on those we can

Some things are hard to change overnight. It’s unusual to change from a pauper into a millionaire in a day. Happiness is knowing that some things take more time. We can start by working on what we can change immediately.

4) Put a smile on your face. It changes how you think.

I was teaching a friend to ice-skate last Friday evening and there was this beautiful girl I met while getting a drink. She smiled as we both walked towards the vending machine. I smiled back and allowed her to buy her drink first.

While on the ice-skating rink, we passed each other a couple of times. I was trying to keep my friend on his feet while she was falling happily on the ice with hers. Our eyes met again. She smiled and I smiled back.

Then as she was making her way out of the rink, I smiled and waved goodbye. She smiled back. I could hear her friends asking “Is that your friend?” I didn’t catch her reply but I remembered her turning towards me with another smile. I returned the smile with a wave to her bewildered friends.

We didn’t exchange a single word. We didn’t need to. The smiles were enough to brighten up both our days.

5) Whatever you get, accept it and deal with it

All too often, when something bad happens, we are too quick to point fingers and start placing blame on everyone else. Happiness is about accepting responsibility and dealing with what comes your way. Blaming the whole world is not going to solve anything.

6) Problems = Catalyst to take Action

Andrew advises to see problems as a catalyst for us to take action. Problems are good teachers, so learn to love them. Next time, when you face a problem at work/in business, remember to run up to your boss/partner and say, “We have a huge opportunity!”

7) Learn from the elephants!

How do you eat an elephant?
Answer: One bite at a time.

What did the elephant say to the naked man?
Answer: How do you breathe through that thing?

8cid:image004.gif@01C883FD.E9386190) Put everything you have into whatever you are doing now

Do your best (100%) and life will support you!

9) It’s not what you get. It’s what you become that matters

Know what to expect - Expect a better you.

10) No one else is going to make you happier. Work on yourself.

A lot of people get things mixed up. A wife thinks about all the bad things her husband does while a widow remembers all the good stuff. That is the ultimate recipe for misery! Isn’t it better to switch the lists around?

Work on your mindset. See things from a positive light.

Conclusion

Happiness is in the way you think. No one can make you happy except yourself.

A Little Fable



"Alas," said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into."
     "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.
