ENUF is MORE

How many times have we all felt frustrated with stupid forwards askin us to forward it to 10, 20 etc. people and you will get X, Y, Z???

Gosh, such crazy mails kill me. I just hate it and I wonder why people forward such mails in the first mail.

I happened to read one such mail from a frustrated victim of such forwarded mails and it indeed was hialrious.

It was like this,


I want to thank all my freinds who have forwarded mails in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and continue doing it in 2010.....

BECAUSE OF YOUR KINDNESS:

1. I have stopped drinking coco - cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains.

2. I stopped going to movies for the fear of sitting on needle infected with AIDS.

3. Forwarded hundreds of mails, but still waiting for Free Desktop, Mobile Phone, Laptop, Camera etc.

4. I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodrants because they cause cancer.

5. I don't leave my car in the parking lot or some other place for the fear that someone will drug me and rob me. So I land up walking more than 7 blocks at times.

6. I also stopped answering calls for the fear that may be someone may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get phone bills with calls to Uganda, Pakistan , Singapore & Tokyo.

7. I also stopped drinking from cans for the fear that I will get sick from rat feaces and urine.

8. I have forwarded 35 e mails to 400 people that Nokia or Ericssion will send me the latest mobile phones, but they are also obsolete now.

9. Made some hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesha or Balaji pics. ( Now most of these wishes are amrried to someone else).




The above are so true. I honestly would love to know who came up this mail. It is perfect.

Forwards are good to an extent but these kinds which ask you to forward are such a menace.

SIMPLY MIND OPENING

I'm sure most of the H.R's in the organizations especially I.T keep sending snippets which are in wide varities. Various H.R related anecdotes are sent too. I generally love reading them as I feel they are such a breather from those mind boggling tasks we do at work!!



In my company too, my H.R keeps sending those highly recommended breathers at not - so frequest intervals. One such snippet caught my attention today and I thought I will share it for you guys to give it a thought too else it will be grey cells malfunctioning.



Has anybody ever given a thought to this statement , "IT IS NOT THE DISTURBANCE THAT DISTURBS ME, BUT IT MY INABILITY TO HANDLE THE DISTURBANCE CAUSED THAT DISTURBS ME'!!!



Ain't it a really great statement. Who ever came up with this thought is indeed great.

Now this thought had a solution too, to overcome the problem. ( Digressing, I would like to add this quote, " Every Problem is a Solution in disguise"!!).

How to overcome?

Read on,

I understood, I should not react, I should respond. Reactions are insticntive, whereas responses are intellectual. Between the STIMULI ( what happens to me ) and the RESPONSE ( what happens through me), if ther is no gap, it creates reaction. But, between the stimuli and the response, if I use the gap to think and contemplate, then I can respond thoughtfully.
AN INTELLIGENT PERSON RESPONDS; A FOOL REACTS!!!



Now after this deep thinking reading I had at office, my tiny cells started functioning right away and left no stone unturned in making me realise that I very outstandingly belong to the latter half of the last statement undoubtedly.



P.S: I definitely will work on my responses more!!!


From now on, NO - MORE REACTIONS, KNOW - MORE RESPONSES!!!!
