A Relationship to cherish. It's called FRIEND

One can realise the true nature of this relationship only in worst of his/her times. I wandered through my life in search of this relationship. I met a lot of People on my way here. Most of them left me as time passed by.Most of them stayed with me only during good times. But only a few have come with me so far. I call them FRIENDS. One of the purest relationship in any lifetime. One best thing about being friends is that it is Mutual. When your friend helps you in a difficult time., you end up helping him/her out during his/her difficult time. They Laugh when you laugh, make you smile when you start to cry, sort out your problem before even you are aware of it..! How many of your problems can you actually share with your parents? But your Friend knows it all. When you find a girl cute, who cheers you up to speak with her?It's your Friend.

It's my Friend Who makes my college life lot more happier than it is now. Hard times disappear like fog in sunshine, when I'm in her presence. My Friend Knows a lot more about me than even i do! I could Spend the rest of my life JUST thinking about my time with her, Time spent rambling about nonsensical stuff, Money spent on interesting bets, i call those "Best Moments of My Life" I remember one particular moment with my Friend which helped me get over my Depression, my Worries, and lot more things that were pestering me. For a week or so, I've been loaded with work, stressed to the core and things weren't moving properly for a long time. I used to spend time locked up in my room., crying in dark and even contemplating on suicide. That was when my Friend tried hard to reach out to me, helped me on half of my work. Bit Satisfied about my work load reduced,Half-past 10 we took a stroll in the campus roads. It was particularly a wonderful time with all the lightings and the breeze and the full moon. But I was in no mood to Enjoy all these but just to see. Before i could open my problems, My Friend started," You need fresh air !" I didn't actually see at that time how it would help me but just felt there was Some truth in it.
She Knew, I was on the verge of suicide. I hate to admit it., But If i were left alone even for a day, I would have Killed myself.
I remember her words till now and i'll remember them even till I die.

She told me this,
"Hey Jk (she used to call me using my initials)., I know you're in a lot of worries. If i had worries as much as you i'm sure i would have thought about suicide just like you. But before you put an end to all your worries the bitter way., just think about this. When you die, Where does all your worries go? It certainly leaves you. But it becomes ten times more worser and reaches people you love the most and who love you too. That means it'll reach me too.It means you'd hurt Me if you hurt yourself. I'm sure you won't like that to happen in any life time.Would you like that? Now, Think for yourself and promise me., that you wouldn't even think about it. Promise me you would try to live!"

I took a few seconds. Truth hit me hard. I promised her. She was so happy. That made me feel high. All these took the time to half past 11. And we spent another half-an-hour spending time watching the moon and ranting about other beautiful things in the world. And then we left to our respective dormitories.
If at all i owe someone in my life., it's my Friend. She gave my life back to me. And Whenever I feel Low, i just recall her words. And now i've put those words here where it stays for an eternity.

You know what keeps me going everyday? It's that there's one more beautiful day to be spent with my Friend. And That's what is keeping her going too!

Focussing On Problem / Focussing On Solution

What do you do when u come across a problem?
Simply Focus on the problem and brainstorm your way out or Focus on the Solution and get an easy way out?

Read Through., You may get a better idea which is better !

One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty.

Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty.
No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.


Moral

Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems.

An ant can be killed in two ways......

#1) By lifting and pressing it by your hand....

#2) By Bombarding it with a missile.


Choose your way.. Choose the best way...

Think LEAN...
