PREMJI's 10 Golden Rules to Success:

1. Dare to dream: People wonder if having unrealistic dreams is foolish.
My reply: dreams can never be realistic of safe. If they were, they would not be dreams. But one must have strategies to execute dreams and slog to transform them into reality.

2. Define what you stand for as early as possible and do not compromise for any reason. You can't enjoy the fruits of success if you have to argue with your own conscience.

3. Never lose your zest and curiosity for learning. I personally spend at least ten hours a week on reading, or I find myself quickly outdated.

4. Always strive for excellence. In the world of tomorrow, and with globalization, just being good is not good enough.

5. Build self-confidence. Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

6. Learn to work in teams. The challenges ahead are so complex that no individual will be able to face them alone.

7. Take care of yourself. The stress a young person faces today while beginning his career is the same as what the last generation faced at the time of retirement. Along with alertness, physical fitness is important. I jog daily.

8. Persevere. It can make miracle happen.

9. Have a broader social vision. While earning is important, we must use it for the larger good of our society.

10. Never let success go to your head, for whatever you achieve is with the help of other factors and people, outside us. The moment we become arrogant, we become vulnerable to making judgment.

The Laughter for Today...

A young Programmer and his Project Manager board a train headed through the mountains on its way to Wichita. They can find no place to sit except for two seats right across the aisle from a young woman and her grandmother.

After a while, it is obvious that the young woman and the young programmer are interested in each other, because they are giving each other looks.

Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it is pitch black. There is a sound of a kiss followed by the sound of a slap.

When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there without saying a word.

1. The grandmother is thinking to herself, "It was very brash for that young man to kiss my granddaughter, but I'm glad she slapped him."

2. The Project manager is sitting there thinking, "I didn't know the young tech was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadn't missed him when she slapped me!"

3. The young woman was sitting and thinking, "I'm glad the guy kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!"

4. The young programmer sat there with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to himself, "Life is good. How often does a guy have the chance to kiss a beautiful girl and slap his Project manager all at the same time?"

To make our Life 100% successful

A small truth to make our Life 100% successful..........

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is equal to
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
L+O+V+E=12+15+22+5=54%
L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%
(None of them makes 100%)
...............................
Then what makes 100% ?

Is it Money? ..... No!!!!!
Leadership? ...... NO!!!!

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our "ATTITUDE".
It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes our Life 100% Successful..
A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

Does that make sense????

Try to do so without any coaching!

A moral joke

A man hated his wife's cat and he decided to get rid of it. He drove 20 blocks away from home and dropped the cat there. However, the cat was already walking up the driveway when he approached his home.

The next day, he decided to drop the cat 40 blocks away but the same thing happened. He kept increasing the number of blocks but the cat kept coming home before him. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right and so on until he reached what he thought was a perfect spot and dropped the cat there.

An hour later.... The man calls his wife at home and asks her, "Jen is the cat there?"

"Yes, why do you ask?" asked his wife.

Frustrated the man said," Put that damn cat on the phone, I am lost and I need directions to reach home!!!

Moral: How much ever we dislike somebody; someday we might need their assistance.

Little Joke: IT Professionals

In a good old barber shop in Dhaka, One day a florist(flower seller) goes to the barber for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and then barber replies:
I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community Service. Florist is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is a "Thank You" Card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.

A Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber he again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is another "Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at his door.

An IT professsional goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber again refuses the money saying that it was a community service.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, guess what he
finds there is......

The "CTRL + ALT + DEL" combination inventor

Have you ever thought of the person who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL" key combination. "David Bradley" -- He is the One who spent 1 minute and 23 seconds in writing the source code that rescues the world's PC users for decades This extraordinary IBM employee is retiring on Friday after a prolong 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 to create the debut. The engineers knew they had to design a simple way to restart the computer when it fails to respond the user Bradley wrote the code to make it work. Bradley says. "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 His relationship with Bill gates by saying "I may have invented it, but Bill gates made it famous by applying my formula whenever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him CRASHES, thus I win when ever he loses". We salute the best IBM Brain.

Jokes--A Test of Morals


This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly and give due consideration to each line: 

      You are in Florida --Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. You are a photo-journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster and trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury. 
Suddenly, you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer ... and discover that somehow, the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time, you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under.
You have two options:
1. You can save the life of G.W. Bush, or
2. You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.
So here's the question, and please give an honest answer: 


Would you select high-contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
