Story of Appreciation
As received:
This is a powerful message in our modern society.
We seem to have lost our bearing & our sense of appreciation.
**Story of Appreciation**
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.
He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research,
**Story of Appreciation**
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.
He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research,
never had a year when he did not score.
The director asked,
The director asked,
"Did you obtain any scholarships in school?"
the youth answered "none".
The director asked,
The director asked,
" Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"
The youth answered,
"My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.
The director asked,
The director asked,
" Where did your mother work?"
The youth answered,
"My mother worked as clothes cleaner.
The director requested the youth to show his hands.
The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked,
The director asked,
" Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"
The youth answered,
"Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books.
Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.
The director said,
The director said,
"I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother's hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked:

" Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered,
The youth answered,
" I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'
The Director asked,
The Director asked,
" please tell me your feelings."
The youth said,
The youth said,
Number 1,
I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today.
Number 2,
by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done.
Number 3,
I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said,
The director said,
" This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop"entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop"entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts.
When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others.
For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement.
He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*You can let your kid live in a big house, give him a Driver & Car for going around, Eat a Good Meal, learn Piano, Watch a Big Screen TV. But when you are Cutting Grass, please let them experience it. After a Meal, let them Wash their Plates and Bowls together with their Brothers and Sisters. Tell them to Travel in Public Bus, It is not because you do not have Money for Car or to Hire a Maid, but it is because you want to Love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will Grow Grey, same as the Mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done. You would have forwarded many mails to many and many of them would have back mailed you too...but try and forward this story to as many as possible...this may change somebody's fate...

Have You Ever Evaluated your Home for Safety?
Have You Ever Evaluated your Home for Safety?
If NOT,
Here are simple but effective measures that can help improve the safety at your home.
Use this checklist as a guide to find and fix hazards in your home.
- Do you have a first-aid kit stocked with emergency items?
- Do you practice a home fire escape plan twice a year so everyone in your family knows at least two exits out of every room and where to meet outside in case of an emergency?
- Do you test your smoke alarms once a month to make sure they are working, and replace the batteries every year?
- Have you installed smoke alarms on every level of your home and near every sleeping area?
- Are all stairs and steps free from clutter, well lit and protected with a secure hand-rail?
- Do you keep all paths and walkways clear of clutter and well lit?
- Have you installed grab bars in bath and shower stalls and do you use a non-slip mat or have adhesive safety strips or decals inside bathtubs and showers?
- Have you posted emergency numbers next to every phone in your home?
- Do dangerous products, including cleaning products, medications and chemicals, have child resistant caps and kept away from food?
- Are medicines kept in their original containers with the original labels?
- Do you constantly supervise children in or near water, such as pools, ponds, bathtubs, buckets, etc.?
- Do you keep your water heater setting at 120 degrees Fahrenheit or less?
- Do you always pull the car out of the garage after starting it?
- Have you moved objects, such as tires and gardening tools that are leaning against walls?
- Do you store tools, gardening supplies and automotive parts in a secure cabinet or high shelf out of reach of children?
- Are all matches and lighters stored in a locked cabinet?
- Have you installed child safety locks on cabinets where hazardous products and medications are stored?
- Have you installed baby gates at the top and bottom of stairwells?
- Do you keep all plastic wrapping, such as dry-cleaning bags, produce bags and trash bags, away from children?
- Have you placed furniture, including cribs and playpens and beds, away from windows?
- Have you installed window guards with an emergency release to prevent young children from falling out of upper windows?
- Are electrical outlets covered with safety caps?
- Do you keep small items such as jewelry, buttons, safety pins, coins and small batteries away from children?
How do you see the importance of walking around the car before driving?!
You
can see in this picture, this young child in the wheel well of the truck. A
Pike crew working for another Utility found this child while conducting a CIRCLE
OF SAFETY of the company truck the crew members were driving. I don’t want
to think about what would have happened if the employee had gotten in the truck
and drove off without doing a walk around. Please share this eye opening,
bone chilling photo and experience with your work groups.
This
crew has also reported children climbing into the back of company vehicles.
Keep in mind children will be out of school on summer break soon so be sure to
watch out for them!!
Just
another reason for us to do the vehicle CIRCLE OF SAFETY before driving off in
our personal vehicles.

C. V. Raman - The Great Indian Physicist
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, FRS (7 November 1888 – 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect…

The original picture of Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bai. This picture has been taken by German photographer Hoffman 160 years ago…
This was how the Taj Mahal was protected from bomber jets in 1942 during world war.
It was covered with huge scaffold, to make it look like a stockpile of bamboo and misguide bombers.
The covering is still incomplete in this photo. The whole of Taj Mahal was covered but this picture shows only the main dome covered. The govt. didn't allow any photographers later to shoot the final scaffold cover.
During the India-Pakistan war in 1971, it was protected by covering it with a green cloth and making it almost invisible i.e. camouflaged within the greenery around it.
Even in 2001, after the Sep 11 attack, Archaeological Survey of India took up the precautionary measure to cover it with cloth and it took them more than 20 days to do that!!
