A REAL LIFE INCIDENT
A young man was getting ready to graduate fromcollege.For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's show room, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his room. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him and handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather bound bible. Angrily he raised his voice at his father and said, "with all your money you give me a bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the HOLY book.
Many years passed and the young man was very succesful in business. He had a beautiful home, and wonderful family, but realised his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since the graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a teelegram mentioing that his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to reach home immediately and take care of things and when he arrived at his father's house, sudeen sadness and regret filleed his heart.
He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still the new bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the bible.. It had a tag with dealer's name , the same dealer whio had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words...".PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected ?.

SOME MANAGEMENT QUOTES FOR 2007
Probably the best way to advise a business manager is to facilitate him to deal with the problem by himself. Management quotes are one of the best ways to achieve this. It has capacity and potential to make the person to rethink the situation from different dimensions and in doing so can help to develop new perspective and ideas. It can also add to a new vision and approach to grow better After all it is wrong to have a simple solution to a complex problem.
I earnestly wish that this compilation and presentation of the quotes would be encouraging and useful to managers in business.
1. Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I will understand.
2. I believe in the discipline of silence, and could talk hours about it.
3. Risk comes from not knowing ‘what you are doing”.
4. Even a correct decision is wrong when it was taken too late.
5. Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.
6. The most important thing in communication is hearing what is not said.
7. Believe that every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity an obligation, every possession a duty.
8. A business that that makes nothing but money is a poor kind of business.
9. If ethics are poor at top, the behavior is copied down through the organization.
10. To make mistake is human, to persist in mistake is idiotic.
11. Any one can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
12. A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
13. Sometimes your best investements are ones you don’t make.
14. The surest way to ruin a man who does not know how to handle money is to give him some.
15. Leadership is the ability to decide what is to be done and then get others does it.
16. Guidelines for bureaucrats- when in-charge- ponder, when in trouble, delegate and when in doubt, mumble.
17. However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
18. Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
19. The value of achievement lies in achieving.
20. It is no use saying, “We are doing our best”. You have to succeed in doing what is necessary.
21. The pretension is nothing, the performance everything. A good apple is better than an insipid peach.
22. Professionalism means consistency in quality.
23. It is an immaculate law in business, that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.
24. Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing WHAT IS RIGHT.
25. Two dangers never cease threatening the world- Order and Disorder.
26. Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
27. Great minds have purposes and others have wishes.
28. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against right wall.
29. Relativity applies to physics and reality to ethics.
30. Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

KNOW ABOUT ASTRAL World’s LIFE BEFORE REACHING THERE!
A recommended reading, for those who seek Love, Liking, Reality, Peace and Tranquility in mind in life.
Death is nothing but you leave your physical body in a mortal state, leaving this real world and commencing your fast journey towards astral world in the astral form. The mortal remain are either consigned to flames or buried under the earth according to one’s religious belief and faith following certain rituals. Therefore one has to accept the truth and understand the reality that the body (mortal remains) has been disposed off.
Your journey from real world to astral world begins and you reach there in momentous pace. There is nothing to fear about it as it has to happen and will happen to everyone without any exception and be prepared to welcome it when it comes to you, with out any fear and stare.
There is nothing to worry or fear in the astral world unlike real world. As a matter of fact one will find the astral world more beautiful and glorious than the real world. You enjoy a greater amount of freedom and confidence, nothing can hurt you, pierce you, water cannot drown you, fire cannot destroy you and you keep your body of LIGHT
(SOUL) unobstructed by any objects. All that you have to do is realize this truth and have a glimpse at it at the realm of death.
In this real world you were in real form and in the astral world you are in the astral form with a higher dimensions than the real world, with no pains, no diseases and with no yawn for gains and material possessions and attachments. Astral world is a free world and you are at your will to move around freely without any hurdles and obstacles, as you are free from physical form.
Life is eternal and there is no end to life. It only changes the outer form and the SOUL remains immortal and affirm but changes its attire after some years (cannot be precise) i.e., to say the SOUL reincarnates in different physical body.
Now you may have a doubt as to why the soul has to undergo another real worldly incarnation? The reasons are many and one of the main reasons is, the way one has lived his life in the real world. The soul enters the physical body of those who left the real world with unfulfilled desires. In the normal course, at the end of ones life span, the physical body becomes worn out and makes it incapable of sustaining life by illness, accidents etc. the mind becomes weary and unable to endure any longer and the BODY goes and the SOUL remains.
Your reaching to astral world is very fast as already mentioned earlier and your experiences there will be based on the kind of life you have lived in the real world. Those who lived a worldly life with too much of attachment and importance to sensual pleasures, sedations, evil acts etc.and thereby having lead a degraded life, will be put to a semi conscious state in the astral world and will remain there for a considerably longer period where he will not be aware of the glory, beauty, spirituality and freedom that exists there for enjoyment, and the semi conscious state will continue until he reincarnate again in a physical body and one who lead a good and descent life on the real world, rest in the astral world for a short while and becomes conscious of his astral self.
The astral body of every one is comprised of light and will emit light. If one is highly involved in Karma the light will be very brilliant and beautiful, if contrary the light will be dim. You must have observed, while you come across some people, have glittering and brilliant, face glowing with goodness with consciousness of God while some with dull, dim and dark face, this has nothing to do with the skin complexion, but got to do with the reflections of astral form, psychological and spiritual qualities a soul manifests under the conditions of the real world living.
Now the question arises as to how long one will remain in the astral world? This again depends upon individual and the kind of life he lived in the real world. In the real world, in order to feel totally rested some needs 3 hours of sleep, some 6 hours and some 8 hours and some even beyond that. The same principle is applicable at astral world too. Some needs a longer rest, some needs a short rest, and yet some needs a very short rest before they return to work to their material karma. It differs from individual to individual depending on their karma (THE RESULTS OF ACTIONS OF LIFE/ LIVING & THE THEORY OF INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES OF LIFE/LIVING). and desires. Once the karmic time of an individual comes to an end and he started feeling of weariness and unfulfilled desires of real world and begins to pull his conscious ness and he is ready to come back to the real world thorough some physical body and this is called RE-BIRTH and is attracted to a family compatible with his karma (The results of actions of past life in the real world)
One takes re-birth into the real world with astral vibratory qualities according to divine laws by attracting the parents and families according to ones Karma and that of parents. Please remember “any thing you have in this world and everything you do not have in this world is not the result of any mistake of nature or punishment of God “ Each one of has been merited by our past behaviour and conduct in our living and makes us what we have now. There fore it is imperative to follow the scriptures that says “Speak no evil, Hear no evil and do no evil”- to condense all these three acts into one and to make it simple ‘Think no evil”. It is not only for the benefit in this life but also for the lives to come and consider it as your investment for your own future.
The two powerful forces in the world are Love and Hate-the expressions of duality. These are very strong in human life. If one has loved another deeply and purely these forces will draw the souls together again and will certainly meet again those who have loved deeply.
It is natural to feel sadness over the loss of loved ones but one should not grieve irrationally. There is period for mourning, observe it. There are times to perform rituals perform it. Keep the astral body of the loved ones left you, happy and at peace with your act and conduct
Life after death is a very vast subject to explain and is somewhat like endless, think for yourself, get into introspection daily and you will know the life and life after death in more details.
A quote on the subject to ponder over
“The skeptic says, “I will believe it when I see it”. The mystic says, “ I will see it when I believe it”
With LOVE
