In a poor zoo of India, a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg meat a day. One day the lion thought it's prayers were answered when a US Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to a US zoo. The lion was pleased and started thinking of a central A/C environment, a goat or two every day and a US Green Card. On it's first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely, for breakfast. It opened the bag quickly but was shocked to see that it contained only a few bananas. Controlling its anger, the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India. The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered. Now the lion was furious. It stopped the delivery boy and blasted him, "Don't you know, I am the lion...King of the...

Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little 3-year-old girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said "This is for you, Daddy." He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give someone a gift, there's supposed to be something inside it?" The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, You are funny. it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy." The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. It is told that the man kept that gold box by his b...

Creative people work and think differently. Unfortunately, by failing to understand that fact, business leaders often frustrate creative people and fail to tap into their true genius. Here’s a list of ways to absolutely frustrate creative people and in the process kill off their creativity and passion. Guaranteed!  Sadly, these things are seen all to often, so there are some tips on how to overcome them. 1. Tell them how to do something! Creative people hate being told how to do something. They do however love to know what needs to be done and what the parameters are. As soon as you tell a creative person how to do something they’ll switch off - so just give them the ‘what’. Direct them, steer them, guide them and lead them BUT whatever you do, stop micromanaging and don’t tell them how to do their job! 2. Don’t respect them! Creative people love to be respected for their talents and abilities. And yes they need to be told. In a recent survey we conducted, lack of respect, ca...

Have a look at the wrapper on a Coca-Cola 1.5 liter bottle and in the ingredients label you will find phosphoric acid in it. Minute quantities of ethylene glycol are also used (which is acknowledged in the soft drink world for making it eally chill). This is popularly known as anti-freeze which prevents water from freezing at 0 deg C and instead drops it 4-5 degrees with minute quantities. This chemical is a known slow poison in the caliber of arsenic.  So, if you manage to drink about 4 liters of Coke within an hour or so, you can die. Read along and give up these dangerous things. Be natural; have flavored milks, tender coconuts, buttermilk, lassi and plain water instead of these "soft" drinks. Guess what's the pH for soft drinks, e.g. Coke? PH 3.4! This acidity is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones! Our human body stops building bones at the age of about 30. Softdrinks do not have any nutrition value (in terms of vitamins & minerals). It is high in sugar...
