Daddy's Preaching

My 6 year old is usually too busy flipping through TV channels or too engrossed with his toys to put up with my preaching .So, I am going to hold back my urge to preach and just leave this post here and hopefully he will tune in someday when he is old enough

- It's hard for any parent to tell their kid that "You are not getting that hot wheel today", but I hope this will help you will learn to live with limited choices . As the famous quote goes - " There's enough in this world for every man's needs, but not enough for any man's greed"

- No matter how good or bad you have it, go easy on yourself. Don't go overboard with success , failure , fears and doubts. If you learn to Love and Forgive yourself , you will make the world a lot less stressful place for the people around you.

- Time(and ofcourse a cast ) will heal a Fractured arm , but not all wounds can be healed with time.Be generous with your smile."A smile is the CURVE that sets everything STRAIGHT"

The MBA's view of the world

...and why the MBAs are like one of those necessary evils or double edged swords...Employers often think that they are better off without the MBAs, but they also don't want the rest of the corporate world to percieve that they cannot afford the MBAs!! And, most MBA's and MBA wannabe's use this dilemma to their maximum advantage ! See the FedEx commercial below...
