A Motivational story about Positive Thinking
A Motivational story about Positive Thinking
Jerry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!” He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.
The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.
I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to
learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested. “Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.”
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?” I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live.”
“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “…the paramedics were great.. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the ex-pressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read ‘he’s a dead man.’
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.
Positive thinking the the first step towards a happy life.
Attitude is everything
If everyone applies just these, the whole world will live in happiness.Never blame a day in your life.
Good Days Give u happiness.
Bad days give u Experience.
Both are essential in life!
All are Gods blessings!
"U all have a Wonderful Day .."

Chapter # 10 : Crush on a highway
Nikita was a fair and slim girl. She had just completed her engineering recently from the same college and joined Kartik's department as an associate staff member. She looked marvellous in a sari. Her parents were searching for a suitable groom for her, while she was not in any hurry and was enjoying her job. Inside the college, Nikita was always accompanied by another staff member, who had a similar background, except that she was from the same department and was Kartik's batch mate. Nikita, once, while going back home, was driving along the highway with her colleague sitting behind her. Nikita was talking with her when she noticed a young and handsome boy overtaking her vehicle. When she noticed that he was a student, she tried to ignore him. But seeing his dashing looks, she could not resist herself. He was wearing blue sunglasses and was looking more dashing than any Bollywood actor. Nikita experienced a great crush inside her heart. This guy was none other than Kartik.
Kartik was driving in his normal racy manner. Nikita kept driving along his side for sometime, till her colleague asked her why she was driving so fast. Now she became self-conscious. She released her grip over the accelerator and continued talking with her colleague in a normal manner.
That night she kept thinking about this prince as if he was going to spend his whole life with her. But after some time she realized that she knew nothing about him. What was his name? Which department did he belong to? Then she convinced herself to stop thinking about him for now and went to sleep. Next day, while recess was on, Nikita was wandering near her own department, of which she had once been a student. Here, she once again noticed Kartik. He was walking towards her from the opposite direction. She started looking at him with total concentration. Watching his eyes, hair, complexion and looks, she realized that he was the man of her dreams. She assumed that he was a student of this department, which he was walking past. Kartik smiled at her. When she became aware of Kartik's attention, she pretended that she was not aware of him passing by. She left for her lecture, determined that she would gather more information regarding this man of her dreams.
Kartik had a habit of checking the availability of the staff member before the start of the lecture, especially after recess. He used to peep into the staff members' cabin. Many times it happened that while Nikita was sitting inside, Kartik would peep into the staff room to check for another staff member. This habit of Kartik's was normal for him but was creating a misunderstanding for Nikita. Whenever this happened, she asked herself,
"This boy is a student of another department and just to catch a view of me, he travels from that department to this one, almost daily. Why doesn't he break his silence? Why doesn't he approach me? How long will he keep peeping? If this continues, one day I will get married and he will keep peeping forever. Stupid!"
Soon Kartik came to know about her interest in him and her restlessness. A couple of times, while Nikita was busy delivering her practical lecture, he peeped inside that practical lab. Surprisingly, she used to forget about her lecture and respond by paying full attention to him. It was as if the tune of famous Bollywood song 'Tujhe dekha to yeh jana, sanam' song was being played in the background. It was a scene where all the students were listening to her lecture; while she delivered the lecture with her full attention centered on Kartik. With Kartik's entry, she would become speechless and concentrate her gaze on him. The students would get confused about what suddenly went wrong with her.
One day, during recess, Kartik entered the staff cabin to enquire about the availability of some staff member. This time Nikita was the only member present inside and taking full advantage of this golden opportunity, she decided to approach him. In reply to Kartik's question, regarding the availability of that staff member, she answered in a proper manner but suddenly turned aggressive and asked,
"By the way, you are not the student of this department, then why you are interested in meeting with the staff of this department?"
Kartik was surprised to see her turn aggressive but he was aware as to why she had asked this question. It was just for getting more information about him. He paused for a moment and replied,
"No, I am from this department and a student of final year."
Nikita was pleased to hear that he was a student of final year and she started thinking,
"Oh God, why was I not offered any practical-class for final year students?"
Kartik understood the expressions flitting over Nikita's face. Soon, she smiled, with a thought in her mind, "Final year, just a few months to go and then he will grab a job and soon I can marry him. Hurrah "
Nikita was coming out of her dream to find out more about him, when she found that Kartik had already left the cabin.

Chapter # 11 : Try some new clothes
It was a Monday, the start of a fresh new week. Today, while going to college, Kartik decided to wear a new outfit, which was a dark coloured shirt in contrast with white jeans. This combination matched his fair complexion perfectly. After having a look in the mirror, he was sure that at the college, it was going to be his day.
That day, during recess, Kartik stood near the library, so as to get maximum attention. He was successful in getting the attention of many girls, which included not only the girls from his class but also his junior girls, girls from other departments and even some of the married ladies among the staff members.
Out of all, the ones who were affected the most were Dipti, Geeta and Nikita. Geeta tried to go near Kartik twice, while he was standing in the library's queue. Out of these two attempts, in one she was able to touch him. Kartik was aware of her flirting nature. He also knew that she showed this attribute only when Neeta was absent from the scene.
Dipti's case was worse than this. She too was standing in the queue at the library, parallel to the boy's queue, in which Kartik was standing. Knowing that Kartik was just two places behind her, she offered to two of the girls who were behind her, a chance to move ahead. She did this so as to occupy a parallel position with Kartik. When they both reached the borrower's window, this parallel position helped her to experience five minutes of intimacy with him. She even forgot that other people from her class were watching her. One of her friends requested her to inquire about a book. She called Dipti's name out thrice, but due to Kartik's presence, Dipti was lost in a dream.
Nikita's case was the worst. After getting the book from the library, Kartik moved on to his favorite position, the staircase railing. He stood exactly in the middle of the staircase along with two other guys from his class. Soon Nikita came out of the staff cabin, which was near this staircase. She was discussing something with her colleague, when she noticed Kartik in his new clothes. She was amazed to see his brand new look. The moment she noticed him, she became speechless and her eyes focused on him. The other staff member with whom she was having a discussion waved her hand in front of Nikita's face, but Nikita was totally gone. That staff member now applied a jerk to Nikita's shoulder, which broke her concentration and this made her come back to reality. The staff member asked her to come along to sit inside the practical lab so that they could continue their discussion. Nikita asked her to move ahead and told her that she was feeling thirsty. She would drink some water and then join her.
As soon as that lady left, Nikita changed her path and started climbing the staircase on which Kartik was standing. While walking up to him, she was capturing every look of Kartik, frame by frame. She kept climbing while keeping one eye on Kartik and didn't realize that she had reached the third floor. She could not resist herself and again decided to go down from another part of the staircase. From here she was able to get another view of him. Kartik noticed her going up and coming down. He glanced at her for a moment. There was shyness in her eyes. For one moment she was looking at him and at the very next moment she was turning her eyes away, repeating this action alternately.
One day, co-incidentally, Nikita and her staff colleague arranged their practical-class in the same practical lab. As both of them were over with the total number of practicals in their respective year's syllabus, this was going to be just a formal practical lecture in which students could finish their record completion activity. The lab was large enough to accomodate students from two classes, the third year and final year batch students. Priya was present in the practical lab as she belonged to the same batch of third year students. After many days, she got a chance to watch Kartik so closely. Being possessive, during those two hours she kept a watch on Kartik. She wanted to check whether he was engaged somewhere in his batch.
Nikita had a lot of work as she was dealing with quite immature students, who made many mistakes as compared to the final year students. Her colleague was set free soon from her work as she was dealing with the mature students of final year who had mastered the art of Copy+Paste.
Though most of the third year was immature, some boys were an exception. Taking advantage of Nikita's simple nature, some of these grown up guys used to get closer to her. Those who could not, used to fantasize about her during her lectures. Whenever the results of any internal assessments were declared, these mature boys used to discuss their whole answer sheet with her for hours. Talking with Nikita for hours was the same for them as talking with any beautiful girl in a garden. Watching a seamless beauty was their only purpose.
Nikita was thinking about how much time it would take her to finish her work, when she noticed Kartik inside the lab. She knew that Kartik was a final year student, so her colleague might know something about him. She looked at her colleague and asked her to come to her as soon as possible. Her colleague got curious over the reason why Nikita was asking her to do this. She moved towards her and stood behind her.
"What happened?" she asked Nikita, smiling as she did so.
Pointing towards Kartik, Nikita whispered in her ear,
"This is the guy I had told you about. He is your student. Do you know more about him?"
Her colleague was well aware about Kartik and also knew about Nikita's madness for him. She decided to make it clear to Nikita what importance Kartik should have with reference to her future related dreams,
"See, his name is Kartik. He belongs to my batch but failed in the exam and lost one whole year. Frankly speaking, he is average at studies and will not be able to secure a good job soon. It is better for you to forget him," she replied.
This honest comment helped Nikita to come down to earth. She discontinued her interest in Kartik.
A thread was being aborted. (3)

Chapter # 17 : The diamond princess
Asmina was a beauty queen from the other engineering college of the city. Making her a beauty queen was not enough from destiny's side; she was the only daughter of the biggest diamond merchant in the city. Boys from her college knew much about her. As per these 'official sources ', her father had migrated to the African countries in search of a job and joined a diamond business there. After earning much wealth in a short duration of time, he returned to India, with a bag full of diamonds, and married a beauty queen within their community, on a 'full moon' night. This 'full moon' night marriage resulted in their giving birth to a 'moon full of beauty'. They named their princess 'Asmina'; the name too was an 'imported' one.
She joined the LINUX class in the morning batch. The first day when she arrived in the class, every girl wanted to introduce herself to Asmina. She deserved this respect because of the financial status of her family. She even discovered some of her schoolmates during this introduction.
The sun was trying its best to warm the chilled atmosphere of the winter season, when Kartik arrived. Blue coloured sunglasses, a UK made jacket, and white sports shoes plus a roaring bike pushing the crowd on the road aside, made every girl present there now focus on Kartik. A buzz soon started amongst the girls. Naturally, Asmina was not an exception. She asked one of her schoolmates who this guy was.
That girl briefed her about Kartik as one of the most talented boy within their class. What else was needed? Good looks, a dashing personality along with name and fame, this is all that was needed for a girl to start thinking about a guy. Naturally, Asmina suffered a great crush on him. She now took off her goggles and held one end of it between her teeth. She was lightly biting it, indicating that some thought processes were going on in her mind.
The next morning it happened that Asmina was able to sit close to Kartik in the LINUX class. He was sitting at the extreme left end of boy's row while she was sitting on the extreme right of the girl's row, one lane ahead of Kartik. This provided an opportunity for Kartik to observe Asmina closely. She was round faced with twinkling eyes, had nice teeth and a fair complexion. In short, she was a goddess of beauty. Because of her, Kartik was unable to concentrate on what was being taught on that day. No sooner had he finish scanning Asmina's beauty that she turned her face in his direction. She gazed deeply into his eyes and flashed a gentle smile. In reply, Kartik welcomed her with a smile.
For a moment Kartik felt as if she knew he was watching her beauty and she was eagerly waiting for the moment to arrive when his activity would be over. There was question in her eyes, "So what is your opinion about me?"
"Mind blowing!" These were the words in Kartik's mind.
The next day Kartik was just five minutes late for his LINUX class. Co-incidentally, Asmina too was late. She reached just a minute before him. She parked her vehicle and was walking towards the classroom, when she heard the roaring sound of a bike. Without even looking towards it, she understood that it was Kartik's bike. She stopped for a while so as to have a look at him. A smile of familiarity spread over her face. Kartik noticed it while parking his bike. He was not able to believe that the 'most desirable girl of their city' was impressed by him in just three days.
The following day, the LINUX class itself started fifteen minutes late. Hence, all the girls enjoyed a quarter-hour full of gossip. Kartik came to know that Asmina was a good friend of Neeta and Geeta as she was enjoying their company. Soon, the person who used to conduct the LINUX class arrived. He handed over the keys of the room's lock to Kartik and got busy in parking his vehicle. Kartik moved ahead to open the lock. Asmina, Geeta and Neeta were standing close to the classroom's door. Pointing towards Kartik, Asmina whispered something into Geeta's ears. After hearing her sentence, Geeta's face suddenly turned pale.
Actually, Asmina expressed her crush for Kartik and Geeta was shocked to hear it? for two reasons. First, she showed her interest in a person with whom her cousin Neeta was deeply in love. Second, her engagement ceremony had been held just a month ago. The second point was more interesting as Asmina was ready to break her engagement for someone like Kartik.
Geeta was totally confused about what had to be done now. Asmina confessed to Geeta considering her a good friend. But she was not aware of the fact that the person to whom she was confessing, Geeta, knew that Kartik was the dream man in her cousin's life. Geeta decided to remain her best friend and warn Asmina without actually hurting her. That day, after the LINUX class was over, Geeta made everything clear to Asmina. She even warned her that from now on she should not to think of any other man except her husband-to-be. Asmina found it hard to agree. But considering that at least one of her friends would live a happy life with Kartik, she stopped thinking of him.

Girl & Boy Story
A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn’t sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.
Moral of the story:
If you don’t give your hundred percent in a relationship, you’ll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent. This is applicable for any relationship like love, friendship, employer-employee relationship etc. Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully.

Trip to India - Darshan of Vaishnov Devi
Trip to India - Darshan of Vaishnov Devi
Jai Mata Di
This post is a bit big , i have written small details of the trip 
Evening on 15th June while packing my bags I called up Rikshit (friend coming with me to Vaishnov devi) to check what time he is leaving from home. after a bit of confusion as to who is going to drop me to Railway Station I finally decided to give trouble to my dad, though 2 of my friends were ready to drop me but my dad wanted me to drop so I said No to them. Now I called up Riki he said he is on his way to Old delhi on Auto Rikshaw. I told him bhaiya stop by somewhere We will pick you up from somewhere near south Ex then changed the plan and picked Rikshit from Lajpat Nagar Bus Stand (near Moolchand hospital) . We kept him waiting for 15-20 mins it was pretty hot.. he was all sweating ..and we enjoying the AC … anyways he got in .. and we were on our way to OLD delhi Railway station to catch Pooja Express to Jammu ..Now I said something or I did something wrong so in car Riki’s mood was off.. anyways.. we reached Rlwy Stn and I said bye to dad and then I looked at the railway station from outside.. so many ppl.. as if whole India was travellin that day.. maine jaldi se apna vaulet apni front pocket mein rakha ki kahin jeb na kat jaye .. and then we were on our way to platform.. Chaaron taraf log hi log.. sote hue..jaagte hue.. rote hue .hanste hue .. khade hue .. bethe hue.. seedhe saadhe .. chalu.. pareshan.. sab tarah ke log dikh gaye 2 hi min mein .. maje aa gaye dekh ke.. ab pahunche platform par … we reached a bit early Train was not ther yet.. chaaron taraf paan ki peek .. kachra dustbin ke alawa har jagah par.. beggars more than travellers .. vendors and coolies moving all over.. it was good to see that..
Anyways train came in 15 mins ..we were looking for our coach and find out that it was not there in the train funny naa.. then talked to one coolie he said “abhi lagega woh coach”.. then finally that coach came and we boarded the train..we had the 2 wali seats. on our left were a family from Rajasthan who too were goin to vaishnov devi .. now while talking to Riki I looked across and found a beautiful girl she was also goin to vaishnov devi with her family very big family .. and then I recolected that she was in my school ..though we never talked in school but I recognised her .. anyways… after some talk we slept and in morning at 9 -9.30 we reached Jammu rlwy station, A guy named Rakesh(he is driver of one of my friend, though my friend was not in Jammu) was supposed to pick us up and give us the Army passes for Darshan.. so we went with him and he gave us the passes and arranged a taxi for us.. we reached Katra at around 11 and took a hotel had a quick bath and started off for our journey to Temple at around 12 in noon .. It was very hot but as we had our train next day we thought we would come back the very same night so we started..and we decided to walk the whole way.
Baand Ganga - It is the starting point of the walk to Mandir . From Baand Ganga I insisted Riki to take steps.. they were some 350+ steps and Riki was totally exhausted in that.. I thought I did a mistake as goin up you shouldnt take steps.. it is very tiring..Rik was very tired so was I so we decided to cover the rest path by the road and not by steps..we took breaks in between.. Main to pehle 4-5 baar jaa chuka tha but Riki was going 2nd time that too after 10 yrs.. it was very tough for him to keep pace with me .. but I appreciate that he did kept a good pace.. saare raaste mein everybody was rhyming “Jai Mata Di Jai Mata Di” and just by rhyming her name the divine power takes all the pain off you. On the way was Cafe Coffee Day .. I dint saw that last year .. anyways ppl are getting the facilities on the way to Vaishno Devi. We reached Ardhkuwari in 3 hours from the BandGanga
Ardhkuwari - This is the midway to Darbar. It was very crowded in there and it was a 2 day waiting to get into the Ardhkuwari gufa. We decided not to stop there and move forward to Darbar, There is a new way to Darbar which is not as steep as the old one.We moved forward to Darbar with small stops in between , due to excessive heat it was very difficult and Riki was not felling well too but we managed to reach the Darbar in 6 hours with stops in between.
Darbar - We took bath and then joined the queue to Darbar. Ppl say that you cant reach Darbar until and unless u get a call from Mata , I was so lucky that this year too I was able to make to the Darbar. We waited in queue for sometime. The queue was not too long as lot of people like to travel in nite and we decided to travel in day so the crowd was not that much . Darbar is on the Trikuta mountain where in a cave Mata resides in rock form(pindi) and We reached Darbar and saw the three pindis of mata MAA KALI , MAA LAXMI , MAA SARASWATI as I looked at the pindis my eyes filled with tears.
Jai Mata di
Bhairov Mandir - From Darbar we started walking to Bhairov Temple it is said that if you go to Vaishnov devi and dont go to Bhairov temple your Yatra is not complete. So we went to bhairov , I was very tired of walking by road so I took the Stairs, Riki came walking. We did darshan at the Mandir by 9 and started our journey back to Katra.
Way back - We took the road all the way , I am not used to taking road on way back as I always take stairs but was giving Riki company , By Road u have to walk a lot , though by stairs you get more tired but have to move less and cover a lot of distance in very less time .so walking on the road i soon I got very tired and was getting irritated .. dont know why.., I was yelling at Riki on very small things , I was loosing patience , so near Charan Paduka i told Riki that I will take the stairs as I cannot walk so you by road. I took that and on way through stairs I was feeling so sorry that why I behaved like that but pata nahi tab mere ko kya hua tha , tired hone ki wajah se I lost my temper . I reached Band ganga par and sat there and was cursing myself for my bad behaviour but I thought I will say sorry to Riki in the morning.
When I was waiting for Riki on the stairs I saw every Pitthu or Khacchar wala or anybody who is local there whenever he passes the stairs he bows to the stairs as that is the First Stair to Mata. Hindu , Muslim or Sikh whosoever it is was bowing to the Mata, Itne mein Riki came and we moved back to hotel , I told him I am very tired and will talk to him in the morning, The next morning I apologized to Riki and we were on our way back to Jammu.
Jammu - Called up Rakesh again but he dint picked up the phone , so we went to RaghuNath temple , fir we had some lunch and then called Rakesh again and then we went home and rested there for 3 hours and then Rakesh dropped us back to Rlwy Station and on Saturday morning I was back to delhi.
On this trip to Jammu I travelled through almost all the modes of Public transport available in mere Bharat
1. Train
2. Auto
3. Taxi
4. Cycle Rickshaw
5. Bus
Jai Mata Di

A woman was working in a post office in California.
A woman was working in a post office in
One day she licked the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using a sponge. That very day
the lady found a cut on her tongue. A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue..
She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong. Her tongue was not sore or anything. A
couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began to get really sore, so sore,
that she could not eat. She went back to the hospital, and demanded something be done. The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue and noticed a lump. He prepared her for minor surgery. When the doctor
cut her tongue open, a live cockroach crawled out!!!!
There were cockroach eggs on the seal of the envelope. The egg was able to hatch inside of her
tongue, because of her saliva. It was warm and moist…
This is a true story reported on CNN Andy Hume wrote:
Hey, I used to work in an envelope factory. You wouldn’t believe the…..things that float around in those gum applicator trays. I haven’t licked an envelope for years!” I used to work for a print shop (32 years ago) and we were told NEVER to lick the envelopes. I never understood why until I had to go into storage and pull out 2500 envelopes that were already printed and saw several squads of cockroaches roaming around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat the glue on the envelopes.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON, TO YOUR FRIENDS. After reading this you will never lick another envelope
or stamp again.
