- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples,
then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an
idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us
will have two ideas"- G.B Shaw
Success
There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn.
Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honor
and prizes.
Once a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something
interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the
farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your
neighbours when they are entering corn in competition with yours
each year?" the reporter asked.
"Why sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind
picks up
pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If
my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn,
cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I
am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn."
The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His
corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves. So it
is in the other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must
help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who
choose to live well must help others to live well.
Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a
participative and collective process!
Wedding Ring
Have u ever wondered why should the wedding ring be worn on the Ring finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....
Thumb represents your Parents, Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings,Middle finger represents your-Self
while Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children.
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers. Now bring other fingrs close to each other and hold them together against each other.
Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later. Join your thumbs as before and now try to separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives
through thick and thin!!

Amazing Math
Absolutely amazing!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
