Stolen Snippets !
Imitation ( copying ?? ) is the best form of flattery !!
Why Create when you can Copy :-)) So, with thanks to all the
people who continue to inspire me / make me smile/laugh/cry, here are some
of the latest "thefts" I have committed !!
"The shell must break before the bird can fly." --
Tennyson
"The difference between a smart person and a wise
person is that a smart person knows what to say and a wise person knows
whether or not to say it." -- unknown
Of all the things I have lost , I missed my mind
most..., ( actually this a Ryzer's call ! )
Some mistakes are too much fun to
only make once! ( See Jo Verde's Ryze page for more... )
“I've learned that people will
forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel.”.. ( Maya Angelou, American poet ...I
put this in one of the threads and some found it good !! :-))
When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God
doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness...

What have I "done" so far ?
Started career with an FMCG company - one of the largest in its field
now ( just to talk about the difference I made in just 4 odd months :-)).
Got a Job Opp. I never initiated in the Middle East and ended up spending
10 odd years in UAE, while traveling to most of Middle East. Worked mainly
in HVAC, Industrial Filtration and Commercial Kitchen/Laundry equipment -
although sold chicken also a few times ! Back in India in 1994. Worked
with v. large Office Automation Company and then with an Industrial
Products exporter. On my own since 2002, .
I am basically a "Salesman" . Love the profession. Still get Goosebumps
even after 25 years in the biz when I see some of the best performing -
and have seen many , including my ex-bosses ( hey Rajeev and
Mr.Naresh Verma and Gurdev and Mr. Karan Anand and Mr. Amitabh if you are
reading this, thanx a TON for all you taught me- still trying to catch up
! ) |

What am I "doing " now !
Since 2002 in the Placement /Headhunting/Manpower/Executive Search
Business.. whichever way you wish to call it. Loving being my own
boss..wife tells me I just love pretending to be working ! More details at
http://m3inc.net for same. Company is named
" MMM Incorporated". WHAT does "MMM" stand for ? Since many people have
asked me for this I spent some time to come up with the meaning I can make
public here .. Voila ! ..: Helping (Wo)Men Make More Money
". OK, OK, I know that makes FOUR M's but I was always bad at
counting :-) BTW, I would ALSO appreciate all help for same :-)) On a
slightly more serious note - isn't it strange how we seek "a meaning " in
most things ? |

What has life taught me/is teaching me !!
OK this section is going to be a continuously changing /evolving one !
Some initial thoughts :
- People are basically good.
- Help will come to you sometimes from the most unexpected quarters.
- Life is something that happens to you while you are busy planning other
things.
- " Put your Money where your mouth is " works !
- DOCUMENT all agreements . ( Lesson REALLY well learnt !! )
- Keep your own conscience clean .. let the others' look after
theirs .
- The ONLY person you can change / control is yourself .
- Love is generally an "oversell " ! Sometimes it works .
- Sometimes , all you have to do is ASK !!
- Two Sikh "Shabads" I am trying ( sometimes it IS hard !! ) to incorporate in my life (
translations are mine and not literal... ) :
* Deh Siba Var Mohe Shubh Karman Se Kabhu Na Daroon :My God, give me
the Boon never to shy away from doing what is good and right ... ...
* Ghar Sukh Vasiya, Jagat Sukh Paiya : Keep your household happy,
you will find the World a happy place !
( PS : If you want to know more about above, write to me ! ) |

More Meanderings ( NO
originality claimed in any !! ) |
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them. Don't
be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to
you. Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family.
For they have helped make you the person that
you are today. |
** Between stimulus and
response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power
to choose our response. In our response lies our happiness and growth.

non fiction book after the Bible.....
** The physicist Leo Szilard once announced to his friend Hans Bethe that he
was thinking of keeping a diary: "I don't intend to publish. I am merely going
to record the facts for the information of God."
"Don't you think God knows the facts?" Bethe asked.
"Yes," said Szilard. "He knows the facts, but He does not know this version
of the facts."
( - Hans Christian von Baeyer, Taming the Atom )
** "October is one of the peculiarly
dangerous months to speculate in stocks. The others are July, January,
September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August,
and February."
---------- Mark Twain ** TWO
roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just
as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling
this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
...... Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken -
1920
(oh how I hope I take that Other Road some day ! ) |
