The Prince . . .
The Prince . . .
Once upon a time there was a Prince who, through no fault of his own was
cast under a spell by an evil witch. The curse was that the Prince could
speak only one word each year. However, he could save up the words so
that
if he did not speak for a whole year, then the following year he was
allowed
to speak two words. (This was before the time of letter writing or
signlanguage.)
One day he met abeautiful princess (ruby lips, golden hair, sapphire
eyes,)
and fell madly in love. With the greatest difficulty he decided to
refrain
from speakingfor two whole years so that he could look at her and say
"my
darling". But at the end of the two years he wished to tell her that he
loved her.
Because of this he waited three more years without speaking (bringing
the
total number of silent years to 5).But at the end of these five years he
realized that he had to ask her to marry him. So he waited ANOTHER four
years without speaking.
Finally as the ninth year of ! silence ended, his joy knew no bounds.
Leading the lovely princess to the most secluded and romantic place in
that
beautiful royal garden the prince heaped a hundred red roses on her lap,
knelt before her, and taking her hand in his, said huskily, "My
darling,I
love you! Will you marry me?" And the princess tucked a strand of golden
hair behind a dainty ear, opened her sapphire eyes in wonder, and
parting
her ruby lips, said:
scroll down......
.....Well, guess what she said ...........
.....come on, guess what could she have
said..............
"Pardon . . . ?

Self-Appraisal:
Self-Appraisal:
A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a
soda carton and
pulled it over to the telephone.He climbed onto the carton so that he
could reach the
buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits.The
store-owner observed
and listened to the conversation: The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give
me the job of
cutting your lawn? The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my
lawn.""Lady,
I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your
lawn now."
replied boy.The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the
person who was
presently cutting her lawn.The little boy found more perseverance and
offered, "Lady,
I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have
the prettiest
lawn in all of North Palm beach, Florida."Again the woman answered in
the negative.
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 and said,"Son... I
like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to
offer you a
job."The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my
performance with the
job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was
talking to!"

Life is your choice !!
LIFE IS YOUR CHOICE!
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to
visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into
complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned
with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic,
glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to
help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If
you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving
behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only
the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously
went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."
"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are
the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of
Life doesn't change." "Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail
to enjoy the coffee in it."
Don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead.
