Someone sent me this.

The mind is, but not a programmable array !!

Hmm... Made me think, after a long time. If your life becomes predictable, will you start thinking that way?

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly

One day a man was having a conversation with god when his whole life
flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time.
He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most
difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints. He
asked god "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but
why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??"
to which god answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with
you...you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult
times in your life, I was carrying you"

From one of those forwarded mails:

Difference between Focus on Problems, and Focus on Solutions

One of the most memorable case studies I came across on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department.

For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.
