Weekend Reading

  Thanks to Malini Kumari and Aadishri G S A Violinist in the Metro A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look ...

Thanks to Madhu Priyah Sankaran and Pradeep Nair. Look At The Other Side A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him.  To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world.  He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.  He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done.  But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map.   When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh.  Dad, there is a man's face on the other side of the paper.  I made the face perfect to get the map right.”  She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.    Moral of the Story:  There is always the other side to whatever you experience in this world.  Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side.  You will be surprised to see an e...

Thanks to Many Minds 100% A little boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.   The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.     That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.   Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully     www.BangaloreOrbit.com www.c...

Thanks to Ramadurai J Learn to Live and Live to Learn By Ramadurai.R   Each and every second, our world is changing. This change impacts every individual. Effects of these changes are our learning and experiences. If we ignore them, we fail to recognize them and adapt to those changes. What is it that we all learnt from this changing world? Answer is infinite. This unlimited learning is true for everyone.   Learn from yourself Learning is directly proportional to growth in our life. Life is the time duration between birth and death. Success comes as a result of efforts one puts in his life time. Success is different for each individual. It depends on their goals and targets. Sometime you may fail. When I came to Bangalore for job, I struggled to find my first job. Not having fluency in English, I did fail in final round of interviews after my successful clearance of technical round. Success is not success unless success is succeeded by the success. Similarly d...
