For when you feel really bad There is harmony in disharmony Behind the clouds, the sun is shining It could be worse It will be worse Feeling bad is just a new sensation Tomorrow is another day I will survive Every cloud has a silver lining There is a light at the end of the tunnel After the rain comes a rainbow It's always darkest before the dawn It has to get worse, before it gets better Every rose has its thorn Midnight is where the day begins Cheer up, it's not the end of the world This too, shall pass Life's not so bad, when you consider the alternative The sharper the berry, the sweeter the wine

Diving To Success The affable president of a midsized privately held manufacturing company had worked himself through the sales dept. At least once a week, he stopped by the sales dept. to see “His Boys”.” How much money have you fellows made for me today? “he would ask, chortling. And they would laugh back at him saying, “Not enough for you, we know, but more than enough.” The sales people loved the attention, for, they had great confidence in their president. They felt that his very presence was very lucky. As long as they saw his name on the door, they were convinced that they were unbeatable. Then the president retired. Almost immediately, the sales began to fall. The sales manager saw that his people were making fewer sales calls. They had become afraid: they believed that with their leader’s retirement they had lost their luck. In this case as in so many others, perception was reality. Fewer calls meant fewer sales. Fewer sales led to depression and a lack of confidence, which...

Description: Are you ? Learn to recognize and accept the world and the people around us for what they are and not what we think they should be or how we can change them to thinking as we do. Are you being yourself? We need to recognize and accept the world and the people around us for what they are and not what we think they should be or how we can change them to thinking as we do. Now this can be very tough but sometimes we can make a difference, especially when we see injustice. What I am saying is try to not beat your head against a wall trying to change someone to your way of thinking, just accept them for who they are. To be happy you need to be satisfied with yourself: you need to know how to meet your needs. Sure you are around other people wanting to satisfy their needs and this is healthy but just don't hurt yourself and stunt your own growth trying to satisfy other people's needs. Now you need to be responsible for your own actions, I feel that of all the qualities in...

Balancing Life & Work -- Can It Really Be Done? Susan PilgrimYou've heard it before: There is more to life than work. You've thought about it and agree that it's a good idea. Perhaps you've even struggled with just how to make that idea a reality in your life. You just can't seem to find that balance between your work life and your personal life. There are only so many hours in a day. Eight-hour workdays are remnants of the past. You now spend 10 and sometimes 12 or 14 hours working. That doesn't leave much time for anything else, does it?Finding and maintaining a comfortable balance in life is a universal challenge. As an executive, you're always aware that the success of your organization is up to you. It's likely that you focus so much time and attention on work that you sacrifice other areas of your life. Your responsibility for finances, products, ...

Seven Mantras for Success In an era of stiff competition, success can only be achieved if one makes the right kind of endeavour at the right time and in the right direction. The Following are the seven mantras for success : 1. Communication Skills - Most of what goes on as business in an organisation is, in fact, communication. Anything that is not communication is probably dependent on something to initiate communication or keep it going. This is why one needs to master the art of communication both verbal as well as written. 2. Influencing Abilities - This is more of a leadership trait. It includes persuading and negotiating skills. Persuasion means convincing and encouraging people to do, as against being pushy and aggressive. It is a very powerful tool, especially in conflicting situations both in your professional as well as personal life. 3. Managing Skills - In layman's words this term means getting things done. But from the career perspective it means managing things, peo...

Trainee: "Yes I do" Boss: "So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation" Comparison study: Appraisal and Resignation 1. In appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures. In resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success. 2. In appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even 10% hike. In resignation you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than 50-60% hike. 3. During appraisal, they will deny promotion saying you didn't meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and you had several drawbacks in our objective/goal. During resignation, they will say you are the core member of team; you are the vision of the company how can you go, you have to take the pr...

Mother Teresa: I work for the people, because I feel I must do something. It's law of nature that the good you do, will be forgotten tomorrow. But the good work must be carried on. Your honesty and frankness will expose you to problems but your work should not stop for it means the world to so many people. Years of your hard work may be destroyed overnight, that should not deter you from building upon your hard work. Despite giving your best to the world, you may be kicked in the teeth. Give the best you've got anyway. It is not the size of our actions but the amount of love and care that is put into them that matters. You should never lose heart. God is merciful and kind- he has endowed you with the best gift- smile, which can make millions happy.

Gandhiji: Unity is Strength. You must be the change you wish to see in the world. “ Service to humanity is service to God. Let the love and light of the Kingdom radiate through you until all who look upon you shall be illumined by its reflection. Be as stars, brilliant and sparkling in the loftiness of their heavenly station ” Man is the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes. Satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort. Full effort is full victory. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age. You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result. Almost anything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is...
