Stress Management
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.
It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, it is OK.
If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.
It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a whilebefore holding it up again."
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be>refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it downfor a moment if you can.
Pick it up again later when you have rested...
Rest and relax.
Life is short, enjoy it!!

As I Walk Through Life:
1-I've learned- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.2- I've learned- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
3-I've learned- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
4-I've learned- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have

|Is It 30 or 29 ...
Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the remaining dollar?Solution
Each person paid $9, totalling $27. The manager has $25 and the bellboy $2. The bellboy's $2 should be added to the manager's $25 or subtracted from the tenants' $27, not added to the tenants' $27.

The man in the Elevator
A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.
The Answer
The man is (of course) a dwarf. Variants of this puzzle include the clue that on rainy days he goes up in the elevator to the tenth floor (he uses his umbrella!)
Lateral thinking puzzles
This explanation is somehow important because i think im going to be posting some stuff based on this Definition,so i thought of posting it.Lateral thinking puzzles are often strange situations which require an explanation. They are solved through a dialogue between the quizmaster who sets the puzzle and the solver or solvers who try to figure out the answer. The puzzles as stated generally do not contain sufficient information for the solver to uncover the solution. So a key part of the process is the asking of questions. The questions can receive one of only three possible answers - yes, no or irrelevant.
When one line of enquiry reaches an end then another approach is needed, often from a completely new direction. This is where the lateral thinking comes in.
Some people find it frustrating that for any puzzle it is possible to construct various answers which fit the initial statement of the puzzle. However, for a good lateral thinking puzzle, the proper answer will be the best in the sense of the most apt and satisfying. When you hear the right answer to a good puzzle of this type you should want to kick yourself for not working it out!
This kind of puzzle teaches you to check your assumptions about any situation. You need to be open-minded, flexible and creative in your questioning and able to put lots of different clues and pieces of information together. Once you reach a viable solution you keep going in order to refine it or replace it with a better solution. This is lateral thinking!

|English sentences repeated words
What is a sentence with the same word several times repeated? Do not use quotation marks, proper names, a language other than English, or anything else distasteful.Five "had"s in a row:
The parents were unable to conceive, so they hired someone else tobe a surrogate.
The parents had had a surrogate have their child.
The parents had had had their child.
The child had had no breakfast.
The child whose parents had had had had had no breakfast.
It is arguably possible to construct sentences with arbitrarily manyrepetitions of a word. For example:
1. Bulldogs fight
2. Bulldogs bulldogs fight fight. (i.e., bulldogs (that) bulldogs fight, (themselves) fight)
3. Bulldogs bulldogs bulldogs fight fight fight. (i.e., bulldogs (that) bulldogs (that) bulldogs fight, (themselves) fight, (themselves) fight)

A Short Story about a Bird
This Story I Liked so Much ,it made me smile so why Not Share this Happiness with all of You.To All My Friends
There was a bird flying above; looking for something, maybe for love. Moving its wings against the winds, looking down for all his steps.
How hardly I noticed when that bird from the heights, his cries was heard. He was landing there nesting here, wishing a place to keep out his fear. Seasons and season’s years have gone still watching that bird wishing to touch the sun.
When his last day seemed to be soon He awaked the night staring the moon, Where I was down below the tree he is to own.
Then I raised my sight, to the bird that night, talking to him with some polite; “Please Mr. bird, stop over there and tell me, tell me till when to where? You spent your youth and childhood struggling but not for food! Please tell me why? And let this raised sky; hear your story before you die. The bird says: ”Soon my soul will be arrested leaving my body aside. I might have no tomb to be buried. Do you think is there something to hide? Even the fairest creature in your world spent his life wishing a warm bed, and when it seemed to be there he was shocked by your wise end” I reply; “Hold on hold on Mr. Bird, you made a life all ahead, and you think it’s not the sun’s thread! As darker the nights as sun would shine though, as deeper the seas as fish would dive through, as harder the life as stronger you could shoe and as longer the path as we will continue.”
Nail in The Fence
You Would Better Read This it is simply outstanding and just great.To All My Dear Friends!
Please make sure you read all the way down to the last
sentence.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His
father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every
time he lost his temper, he must drive a nail into the
back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the
fence. Over the next
few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the
number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled
down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper
than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his
temper at all. He told his father about it and the
father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail
for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to
tell his father that all the nails were gone. The
father took his son by the hand and led him to the
fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look
at the holes in the
fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say
things in anger,
they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a
knife in a man and draw
it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm
sorry, the wound is still there. " A verbal wound is
as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare
jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you
to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they
always want to open their hearts to us."
It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how
much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a
FRIEND, even if it means sending it back to the person
who sent it to you. If it comes back to you, then
you'll
know you have a circle of friends.
YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED! Now send this to
every friend you have!! And to your family.
Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

The longest word to occur in both English and American "authoritative"
"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"
The following is a brief citation history of this "word."
New York Herald Tribune, February 23, 1935, p. 3
"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis succeeded
electrophotomicrographically as the longest word in the English
language recognized by the National Puzzlers' League at the opening
session of the organization's 103d semi-annual meeting held yesterday
at the Hotel New Yorker.
The puzzlers explained that the forty-five-letter word is the name of a
special form of silicosis caused by ultra-microscopic particles of
siliceous volcanic dust."
Everett M. Smith (b. 1/1/1894), President of NPL and Radio News Editor
of the Christian Science Monitor, cited the word at the convention.
Smith was also President of the Yankee Puzzlers of Boston.
It is not known whether Smith coined the word.
"Bedside Manna. The Third Fun in Bed Book.", edited by Frank Scully,
Simon and Schuster, New York, 1936, p. 87
"There's been a revival in interest in spelling, but Greg Hartswick,
the cross word king and world's champion speller, is still in control
of the situation. He'd never get any competition from us, that's
sure, though pronouncing, let alone spelling, a 44 letter word like:
Pneumonoultramicrosopicsilicovolkanakoniosis,
a disease caused by ultra-microscopic particles of sandy volcanic dust
might give even him laryngitis."
It is likely that Scully, who resided in New York in February 1935,
read the Herald Tribune article and slightly misremembered the word.
Supplement to the Oxford English Dictionary, 1936
Both "-coniosis" and "-koniosis" are cited.
"a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation
of very fine silica dust' but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long
word."
Webster's first cite is "-koniosis" in the addendum to the Second Edition.
The Third Edition changes the "-koniosis" to "-coniosis."
I conjecture that this "word" was coined by word puzzlers, who then
worked assiduously to get it into the major unabridged dictionaries
(perhaps with a wink from the editors?) to put an end to the endless
squabbling about what is the longest word.

Laptops may damage male fertility
This article just got my attention while i was reading the BBC site, I thought u might find it helpfull.Men who use laptop computers could be unwittingly damaging their fertility, experts believe.
Balancing it on the lap increases the temperature of the scrotum which is known to have a negative effect on sperm production, researchers found.
Coupled with the rising popularity of these computers - about 150m people use them worldwide - much more research is needed say the US authors.
The State University of New York findings appear in Human Reproduction.

A Wisdom I like to Share
6 YEAR OLD WISDOM
One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.
The teacher asked a little boy.
TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point.We can't see God because he isn't there. He doesn't exist. A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!
