Discourage Business to Encourage Gains

When a guy's printer type began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job himself.


Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"


"Actually, it is my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly. "We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."

ESSAY FROM A CHILD

Image
A teacher from Primary School asks her students to write a essay about what they would like God to do for them...At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one that made her very emotional. Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying and asked her: - What happened? She answered - Read this essay. It's written by one of my students. "Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a television. I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place. And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously when I talk... I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me... And... I want my brothers to fight to be with me... I want to feel that...

Dark Shadow of Life (Hindi)

Image
Matlab se bhari is duniya mein insaan ki kimat koi nahi Bas jeetnewalon ko puche Jazbaton ka wajood koi nahin! Jab hath diya tab dost baney jab saath diya to pyaar Tanhai mein sab chod gaye hum kehte they jinhey yaar! Aaj bhi hum jab sochtey hai to aankhen bhar ati hai Jo dil se nibhaye rishtey they ab unke liye harjayi hai! Jab waqt humara tha humne ek baar palat ke na socha Ki tu jab chod ke jayega sab rishtey bhi ley jayega! Guman tha humen apney hone par bas badhtey hi jayenge Rastey to aaj bhi wahi hai magar hum ab chal nahi payenge! Ghairon ka diya hum bhul gaye apno ke bhi dard ab yaad nahi Befiqr pila tu ai saki koi zakhm rahe na yaad abhi! Jab saans ki dor yeh tutegi mat rona aye duniyawalon Ek aur gaya is duniya se kuch aur abhi to baki hai!!!                      - Written by Kalpesh Modi (2006)

Farmer's Daughter - Lateral Thinking

Image
Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent o...
