Self Appraisal - A Beautiful Story

A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a  store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the  conversation:

Boy                : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman         : (at the other end of the phone line) "I  already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy                : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman         : I'm very satisfied with the person who is  presently cutting my lawn.
Boy                : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor  and the stairs of your house for free.
Woman         : No, thank you.

 With a smile on his face, the little  boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this,  walked over to the boy.

Store Owner       : "Son... I like  your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a  job."
Boy                      : "No thanks,
Store Owner       :  But you were really pleading for one.
Boy                      : No Sir, I was just  checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is  working for that lady I was talking to!"

Too Good Philosophy

The   Awesome Philosophy

(This is marvelous!! Scroll thru slowly and read carefully to receive and enjoy full effect) 

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.

Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point. 

1. Name  the five wealthiest people in the  world. 

2. Name  the last five Heisman trophy winners. 

3. Name  the last five winners of the Miss America pageant. 

4  Name  ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. 

5. Name  the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 

6. Name  the last decade's worth of World Series winners. 

How did you do? 

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. 

These are no second-rate achievers. 

They are the best in their fields. 

But the applause dies.

Awards tarnish.

Achievements are forgotten. 

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. 

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one: 

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. 

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. 

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. 

Easier? 

The lesson: 

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money...or the most awards. 

They simply are the ones who care the most

Management Lesson :: Dog, lion and monkey

Ek din ek kutta jungle main raasta kho gaya . 
Tabhi usane dekha ek sher uskii taraf aa raha hai. 
Kutte ki saans rookh gayi.. "Aaj to kaam tamaam mera!" usne socha. Phir usne saamane kuchh sookhi haddiyan padi dekhi. Woh aate hue sher ki taraf peeth kar ke baith gaya aur ek sookhi hadii ko choosane laga aur zor zor se bolne laga,"wah! Sher ko khaane ka maza hi kuchh aur hai. Ek aur mil jaaye to poori daawat ho jayegi!" 

Aur usne zor se dakaar mara. Is bar sher sakate mein aa gayaa. Usne Socha "ye kutta to sher ka shikar karta hai! Jaan bacha kara bhago!" Aur sher wahan se champat ho gaya .

Ped par baitha ek Bandar yeh sab tamasha dekh raha tha. 
Usne socha yeh mauka achha hai sher ko sari kahani bata deta hoon - sher se dosti ho jayegi aur usase zindagi bhar ke liye jaan ka khatra dur ho jayega. Who phataphat sher ke pichhe bhaga. Kutte ne Bandar ko jaate hue dekh liya aur samajh gayaki koi locha hai. Udhar Bandar ne sher ko sab bata diya ki kaise
kutte ne use bewakoof banaya hai.

Sher zor se dahada, "chal mere saath abhi uski leela khatam karta hoon" aur Bandar ko apani peeth par baitha kar sher kutte ki taraf lapka. 

Can u imagine the quick management by the DOG... 
Kutte ne sher ko aate dekha to ek bar phir uskii taraf peeth karke baith gaya aur zor zor se bolne laga, "Is Bandar ko bhej ke 1 ghanta ho gaya , saala ek sher phaans kar nahi la sakta!" 

Moral of the story : FACE THE SITUATION .

Worst interview in my life ...........

Few days back I went to interview for Software Developer position in one of the software company from pune.

I have studied some topics on .NET and SQL Server for interview prospective. 

Interviewer started the interview with the question of total year of experience.

Then he asked me have you worked on SQL Server, I said yes !

He took one paper and told me that there is one table Emp having columns name, salary and dateOfBirth.

Firstly he asked find out the all employees form Emp table whose age is more than 27 years.

I tried it for few mins but no answer.

Then he asked me who is having the 18th maximum salary form all the employee .....and again i have no answer.

Finally he asked me find out the employees who having the same name in the company..... no answer again.

I was thinking what will he ask now ......

And he switched form SQL Server to .NET ........

What is 3 tire architecture ? I explained him in detail.

Then he asked me what are the control available in ASP.NET and i answered with two main category of ASP.NET rather than listing all the controls.

After two good answers he again switched to SQL Server with the question of view.

What is view and what are the types of view, I don't know what happened but I couldn't able to answer that question.

And i was just waiting when he will finish the interview as I am not able to give any answer on sql server.

He finally told that thanks Avinash we will get back to you.

Thats it ! I feel bad for some time  ............

But that was good experience for me and one good trigger for starting the study of SQL Server in details.

So if you are planning to give any interview be ready for all above questions, specially for the small companies as they wann all skills in employee.

Managers can always find fault in you ! ! !

A team of Managers was given an assignment to measure the height of a

flagpole. So the Managers go out to the flagpole with ladders and tape.

They're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole

thing is just a mess.



An Engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks over,

pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end

to end, gives the measurement to one of the managers and walks away.



After the Engineer has gone, one manager turns to another and laughs."

See this idiot. We're looking for height and he gives the length!"



Moral: "No matter what good you do, Managers can always find fault in you".
