The flight journey can be fast and modern with smileful air hostess swaying around but nothing can beat the pleasure of train journey, i guess.<br /><br />It is another great experience if you take a ride in Chennai autorickshaws, at the end of your journey, you will be more updated on political trends, cine gossips and commodity price index etc from the driver.<br /><br />The bus ride can be appropriate for shorter distance but it is uncomfortable for longer distances, especially with our private transporters compete with thei rivals on catching up the time, it’s like running race, they never care about road bends or turn. Most of these buses, play 'dappanguthu songs' and blurred quality videos make our travel more horrible!!<br /><br />By the way we rented Mahindra Scorpio for few days, the vehicle is great, equivalent to international brands. India is really shining on this industry.<br /><br />The train journey brings the people more closer, sometimes we may get a ‘fellow passenger’ then become our friends. During my recent visit to India, I intentionally opted to travel by train. One time we got retired government physician and a software engineer travelling with us, they were so humble and polite, during discussions we found that he has a daughter and they are getting good offers for her marriage, he mentioned about a proposal and the boy is working with a reputed software company, fortunately the person he mentioned happened to be our fellow passenger’s friend, he got more details about him, almost he made up his decision and sent immediately a text message to his daughter. That was a pleasant event in the train.<br /><br /><br />Let me share a story flight journey, we were six of us, when they allotted the seat, my daughter and son got seats far from us, we preferred to have them beside, I requested two gentle men in front us on possibility of exchanging seats, one agreed another was so stubborn, just I asked him the reason for not moving, his reply was ‘he didn’t want to’ I didn’t argue with him much, he could be mentally stressed or problems to ponder, I know a bachelor’s situation flying to gulf. If that was the problem by a passenger, I didn’t expect another bug in the form of bag by the flight attendants, they were distributing gift bags for all the kids, in fact we have many of them at home got from the previous trips, the airhostess started to distribute and stopped in half way, most of the other kids and their parents were upset and arguing, I asked the reason and understood they are out of stock, it was hard to convince my kids, what a poor management by the Airlines (Saudia), among the airline services in gulf region, its my impression, Emirates is the best!! I could do nothing but a complaint to the airlines.<br /><br />I hope you got my point for the reason to hate the flight journey!! I wish we have fastest train between Jeddah and Chennai. </div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-21214777217466315712010-07-07T00:56:00.000-07:002010-07-07T01:22:00.482-07:00Improve willpower...<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpYBXv9ue2_8Kz6RyLnqtoADVn2P9na-K_nZlAXfUoLcz8AnWaPEAliUV04Nxv2yt11wv8oUncvYne8vHDMR0-M7DQ1dCSyAj5OKJKm5GXVhiKvyvSKXmrNWlpeGifDQllO2fNFY4Tl8/s1600/red-tulip-snow.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpYBXv9ue2_8Kz6RyLnqtoADVn2P9na-K_nZlAXfUoLcz8AnWaPEAliUV04Nxv2yt11wv8oUncvYne8vHDMR0-M7DQ1dCSyAj5OKJKm5GXVhiKvyvSKXmrNWlpeGifDQllO2fNFY4Tl8/s200/red-tulip-snow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491075103308538434" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ><span>A recent Harvard University study, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, suggests that you can improve your willpower simply by doing good deeds. Researchers found we can view others who "do good" as having more willpower. So, when we do good deeds ourselves, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. To improve your willpower, try doing more good deeds in your personal life and at work.</span></span><br /><br />http://www.thecrimson.harvard.edu/article/2010/4/21/good-something-dollar-weight/<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Thanks www.mindtools.com</span><br /></div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-35400462211921619662010-07-04T01:12:00.000-07:002010-07-04T01:32:28.747-07:00Packing up a vacation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghNf_ayfhNib27g8HU3WnxIJdPoVwE9MG_q8DST-sCp5ghFI4q8-AZWHDSMw915gv6sdtVk9VDvnZUB7IPUJ_6XKLqBq3jhzX0qRZWgt1h3w5a77hcKhI3pF8Sf52z9usx6N1N3Hpe7xw/s1600/red-luggage.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghNf_ayfhNib27g8HU3WnxIJdPoVwE9MG_q8DST-sCp5ghFI4q8-AZWHDSMw915gv6sdtVk9VDvnZUB7IPUJ_6XKLqBq3jhzX0qRZWgt1h3w5a77hcKhI3pF8Sf52z9usx6N1N3Hpe7xw/s400/red-luggage.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489962297387157666" border="0" /></a>

Nowadays we come across many people throughout the day , at work, in our blogs and mails, we even wish them on their birthdays and anniversaries just by a pop up message of Face Book, we should accept this trend, our relationships are evolved in to ‘E’ thing!!<br /><br />Among all these gyration, we meet people sincere, appreciative, mighty and admiring. I found in some manufacturing industries, when a talented fresh candidate joins they assign an experienced member of the organization as mentor, who can walk through the process, teach, train and mold, it is best model to learn from experience. Mostly we use the term role model, usually they are big celebrities or leaders, I never had a thought of having anybody as my role model, the reasons may be I don’t know them personally or I am not ready for such a big challenge or it is not required for me!!, but I am inspired by the mentor, who understand, criticize, care, appreciate, share, teach and learn.<br /><br />If you take a survey of your friends list, some of them you know since the child hood days, from school and colleges, from the work place, and lately some of our e-friendship may be turned in to a good friendship, time is not important for efficient friendship, or just by chatting few minutes every day and exchanging mails is not a measure for effective friendship, but it makes a difference by how much the friendship makes you feel। Recently I got whiff of mentor with a friend, hardly I know less than a year, we discuss a lot, share and update each other, I always trust my friendship, it never deceives me. Everybody is unique and will have some talents, when we share and discuss we learn more and vision becomes broader.

Even with everyone looking for new ways to save money, it’s doubtful most people have considered the font they use for letters, reports, and notices, but you can actually save 31% on your ink cartridge costs just by picking the right font.<br /><br />Printer.com recently put this notion to the test using two popular printers. The Canon Pixma MP 210 was picked to simulate the printing of private users while the Brother HL-2140 laser printer was used to test business use. Both printers were left at their default settings (600 by 600 dpi). Changing only the font resulted in saving between $20 and $80 per year.<br /><br />Arial, reigning as the most popular font, was used as the “zero” measurement, against which nine other fonts were tested. The clear winner was Century Gothic, which returned 31% savings in both printers. For the average private user, printing approximately 25 pages per week, this will easily generate a net reduction of $20 in a year. A business-user, printing approximately 250 pages per week, could save $80. If your organization uses multiple printers, you can save hundreds of dollars per year doing nothing more than picking a more economical font.<br /><br />Century Gothic is a modern font that comes standard with MS Windows. Surprisingly, it even beat Eco-font which was specifically designed with efficiency and cost in mind. For those who require a more “traditional” look, Times New Roman provides a good balance between style and savings.<br /><br />Source:http://blog.printer.com/2009/04/printing-costs-does-font-choice-make-a-difference/</div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-38196464567764826792010-04-28T21:03:00.000-07:002010-05-22T12:07:56.771-07:00Etc....<strong><span style="color:#660000;">Historical</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Our house is located in the 'Old Airport Area'.

I was so privileged to meet management icons Dr. David Norton and Dr. Robert Kaplan. They shared their philosophical thoughts on the concept which they derived during 1990s, but the wonder is, it is still capable of making marvelous changes in organizations. Harvard Business Review claims that the concept is the most effective tool in the 75 years of its publishing history. The traditional method to measure the performance was based merely on financial factors, but the balance scorecard recommends the inclusion of other main perspectives like people, internal process, customers and finance. All these perspectives should align with the company's strategic goals.<br /><br />Most of the reputed companies already implemented this approach, and representatives from those companies shared their journey towards achieving the desired results. A great experience.<br /><br />As far as Dubai is concerned, it is nice place to live, cost of house and transport are comparatively high, but worth it. Just to experience the new metro service i paid 12 Dhs and travelled through 4 stations, quite nice. One of the many advantages of this place is that you can manage with English and it is user friendly.<br /><br />I went near Burj Khalifa- it's amazing. i was so excited to see the city from the top. unfortunately they have closed for a few days. Then visited the adjoining Dubai Mall, grabbed the guide from information counter- thousands of shops scattered around, guess you need a full day to roam around!! Had nice spicy chicken and rice at Nandos Restaurant at ground level!! Yummy...<br /><br />i guess this is the right time to visit, most of the hotels have reduced their prices drastically, guys check out!! </div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-82699464515016856562010-02-17T10:32:00.000-08:002010-02-17T10:47:16.230-08:00Emotions Are A Part Of Life<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpjr38d_WwHb8B5uQFUhJdkJWyHsaXR-h5DsQwEyVFbGKZ5n_KdQPaM11PT3A-nGnt-XAQq4TvN_ULAiiwBML414aapG9FEsu3clmMsdX4XhfB-8ChhZtC8RhK1CcK2AeJz5VF9Op904/s1600-h/emotions_small.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439284026472570786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpjr38d_WwHb8B5uQFUhJdkJWyHsaXR-h5DsQwEyVFbGKZ5n_KdQPaM11PT3A-nGnt-XAQq4TvN_ULAiiwBML414aapG9FEsu3clmMsdX4XhfB-8ChhZtC8RhK1CcK2AeJz5VF9Op904/s400/emotions_small.jpg" /></a> <span style="color:#cc0000;">Emotions - We face it in our everyday life, affect us in all directions and in different modes, the below message is forwarded by my friend, i am glad to share with my blog friends:</span><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Life is like an unsolved puzzle. No one can define what life is because it is a very complex thing. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Life is something that makes you happy and proud at times and makes you feel so low at times that you say to yourself, "Why was I born?" But whatever it is, it is real fun.<br /><br />In Life, in every moment, something new happens; something that you never expected, something that you were waiting from a long while to happen and something you were expecting to happen. It is a combination of happiness, sorrow, joy, love, anger, enjoyment, loneliness, fear, excitement and many other emotions.<br /><br />The definition of the word life can't be completed without using the word emotions. Some people work in emotions whereas others work with emotions. So it's very important to understand how people are using their emotions.<br /><br />If they are letting emotions get control over them, then they'll be dragged by others and situations all the time. But, if he is controlling his emotions in a proper way, then no one will ever have control over him.<br /><br />The way a person uses his emotions is what we call attitude.<br /><br />Someone has correctly said, "Your attitude determines your altitude in life". Attitude, as I already defined, is the way an individual uses his emotions and directly related to the psyche of a person.<br /><br />Some people use their emotions in a positive way and some people do it in a negative sense.<br /><br />When people use emotions in a positive way we call it positive attitude and when they use it in a negative way we call it negative attitude.<br /><br />It's up to an individual to decide how he uses his emotions. Which way will you decide ? </div>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Picture source : http://www.miamism.com/wp-content/uploads//m/blogs/miamism/emotions_small.jpg</span></em>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-18811774794044958022010-01-24T05:03:00.000-08:002010-01-24T09:52:19.347-08:00The Formula For Perfect Parallel Parking<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOQ1gkJd97euvyWqhr5PVfJpgZuSjRFYUHZEw1VboKuEEGbKQYUQQd077SeNGeIT52r2QVepd64Vj7lhCNbPvSe6oWfdJP2uW49P2-oEFqHbEjvCX9h9v2l3M9seMPzXUggKPfBwKqG0/s1600-h/gr-parallel-formula-300.gif"><img style="text-align: justify;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 325px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOQ1gkJd97euvyWqhr5PVfJpgZuSjRFYUHZEw1VboKuEEGbKQYUQQd077SeNGeIT52r2QVepd64Vj7lhCNbPvSe6oWfdJP2uW49P2-oEFqHbEjvCX9h9v2l3M9seMPzXUggKPfBwKqG0/s400/gr-parallel-formula-300.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430291655104808834" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:arial, sans-serif;">If you live in a big city, this scenario is all too familiar: Traffic is bad.

We cant either be too slow but do the things moderately with proper planning:<br /></span></span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />-------------------------<br /></span></span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.<br /><br />Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to posses a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.<br /><br /></span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Said in another words:</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />3. Stockholm, has 500,000 people.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned companies. Volvo supplies the NASA.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /><br />The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot." To which he replied, "Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think? Imagine my face.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /><br />Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.<br /><br /></span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness"</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity"</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">(life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality of being". <br /><br />French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%. This slow attitude has brought forth the US's attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!".</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /><br />In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now". To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then they dance to a tango.</span></p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /><br />Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".</span></p></span></div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-47075736957470250132009-11-08T04:02:00.000-08:002009-11-08T04:15:16.987-08:00TRASH TURNS TO TREAT!!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; border-collapse: collapse; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">RG09...

The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately two thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">4 minutes later</span> </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">6 minutes<br /></span>A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">10 minutes</span> </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children.. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly. </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong>45 minutes </strong></span></div><span style="color:#990000;"><div align="justify"><br /></span><strong>The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32. </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong><span style="color:#990000;">1 hour</span> </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.<br /><br />No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.<br /><br />This true story of Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The question is in a common environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?<br /><br />One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made..... </strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>How many other things are we missing? </strong></div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159500522861364667.post-25473889984549897352009-09-14T16:44:00.000-07:002009-09-14T16:53:26.611-07:00Everybody, Somebody, Anybody & Nobody.<strong></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjyDAYsi_LyJiH0fJBgisK2ud8KLj_U6XIAfN7FzhkpmrhUjvOb5f4dmZ11TnWra1ue3rtq70Xp1HVtfbPwDDs2UHPJInuWG2cDcTnXuloMY5OORXR3d80XjSI1_mmoG9sGxD6igCcnqg/s1600-h/blame.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 216px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381475092819129586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjyDAYsi_LyJiH0fJBgisK2ud8KLj_U6XIAfN7FzhkpmrhUjvOb5f4dmZ11TnWra1ue3rtq70Xp1HVtfbPwDDs2UHPJInuWG2cDcTnXuloMY5OORXR3d80XjSI1_mmoG9sGxD6igCcnqg/s320/blame.gif" /></a><br /><div align="justify"><strong>This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. </strong></div><br /><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></p></strong><strong><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;">There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.

This gimmick may work for few days, but it is a loss for the organization in the long term. Unmotivated workers may leave the organization once there is no expected appreciation they receive from the management or the superiors.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">So the Leader always cheer his fellow employees and always appreciate their effort, then he becomes a Great Leader!!</div>SUFFIXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995755885441023124noreply@blogger.com1
