Coin

In life, when you are faced with choices, just toss a coin; not because it settles the question but while the coin is in the air, you will know what your heart is hoping for

Parents

Our parents seldom made us cry. They did everything to make us smile….Then why do we keep them in second priority? We weep for that guy who never cares, takes us for granted, talks when he wants to, leaves when we need him. It’s high time to value true relation rather than running for one who was never worth it. Our parents are only people in this world who love us with our flaws. Love them too

I wish I were a TV

A teacher from Primary School asks her students to write an 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, who had just walked in, saw her crying and asked her: - ‘What happened?’
She answered- ‘Read this. It is one of my students’ essays.’
‘Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special:
Make me into a television. I want to take its place and 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 even 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 family just leaves everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me.
And last but not least, ensure that I can make them all happy and entertain them…
Lord I don’t ask you for much… I just want to live like a TV.’
At that moment the husband said: - ‘My God, poor kid. What horrible parents!’
The wife looked up at him and said: - ‘That essay is our son’s!!!

Praise

When was the last time you praised someone? If you have to think to answer this question, then you are not doing enough. People are extremely praise-deprived. They long for praise from anyone all the time. We never seem to get enough praise.
This article explores what stops us from praising others and provides a number of techniques that act as a reminder to praise others and therefore systematically improve their performances. These techniques are ideal for those in management roles who can significantly benefit from the positive effects of praise both for themselves and for their organisations.
What Are We Afraid of?
There are many reasons why people or managers feel there is no point to praise. Here are some of the common reasons:
• The employees don’t deserve it
• I will look silly if I praise them
• The task is too simple to be praised on
• If I praise them, they would think I am soft
• If I praise one, I have to praise everyone
• I didn’t get any praise and look where I am now. Why should I praise them?
These ideas are self-destructive as they ignore the enormous benefits of praise both on the person who is praised and the person who is praising. Many of these fears are unfounded. Everyone deserves to be praised, no matter how small their contribution. Praise is always a more powerful motivator than punishment. The person who praises is always liked because people are so eager to receive it.
Research shows that people who think praising takes something away from them may suffer from lack of self-esteem. Praising people will make them become warmer towards you which in turn will boost your self-esteem
