So many people who have been abused, neglected, and or
hurt in many other ways have great difficulty getting to true
forgiveness. The way to get stuck and block yourself from
forgiveness is to mistakenly believe that by holding on to
your anger, rage, and hate that you are getting revenge
upon the person you choose not to forgive. Nothing could
be further from the truth.
Forgiveness is NOT about justifying anyone's wrong
behaviour, ever. Forgiveness is not about forgetting.
Forgiveness does not mean that you have to reconnect
or have the person you want forgive involved in your life.
Forgiveness is remembering and making a choice to let
go. The letting go is for you. Forgiveness is a gift that you
can give to yourself. If you continue to hold the hurt, anger,
and hate, you only hurt yourself. You are not hurting the
person or persons that hurt you.
In order for forgiveness to be possible it is necessary to
stop blaming. No matter how much we may have suffered
as children we will stay stuck in our pain as long as we
continue to blame our abusers for all that has gone asunder
in our lives.
When we own our own issues, and when we realize that most
of the things we are not pleased about in our lives are a
direct result of our own choices, only this kind of ownership
of our issues will enable us to move forward and to forgive.
Forgiveness is Freedom.

Bus Conductor - Nice Puzzle with Logically Good Answer...!!!
Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.
One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years,tried to board
the bus, but he didn't stop the bus.
Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on
the spot.
Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in
turn took him to the court.
The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital
punishment.He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a
single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel
at one corner of the room.
The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to
him. But to everyone's amazement, he survived.
The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
After a few months, this time, a good looking middle aged woman
tried to board the bus but the conductor didn't stop the bus.
Unfortunately, this time also,the good looking middle aged woman
came under the bus and died on the spot. Again angry passengers
took him to the police station, who in turn took him to the court. The
judge took one look at the conductor and gave him capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was taken to the same electrocution chamber
where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a
single banana peel at one corner of the room.
He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him.
This time also to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge
decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the
bus. This time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier
experiences, stopped the bus. Unfortunately the elderly gentleman
slipped and died due to his injuries. The conductor was taken to
the police station and then to the court, to the same judge.
Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but considering
his past record the judge decided to set an example and gave him
capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was again taken to the
same electrocution chamber where there was a
single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at
one corner of the room.
He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given
to him. This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!
The question is why didn't he die on the first two occasions, but
died instantly the third time?? Try to solve it yourselves. This
is rather interesting and answer is perfectly logical. If
necessary read the puzzle once again. Still if you can't,
then look below.........
think hard
Answer:
During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad Conductor,
therefore electricity didn't pass through him.
But during the third time,
he was a good conductor, electricity passed through him freely
and he died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha Ha Ha ha !!!!!!!!
Obviously you have to revise your science chapter on Electricity???

Great Speech on Late Sitting in Office.
Read Mr. Narayana Murthy's Speech ( Read last line twice). I am not relating this to the present scenario.
Hope that many of us start leaving early for home after reading this...
Infosys' Chairman and Chief Mentor Officer (CMO) - Mr. Narayana Murthy's Speech on Late Sitting:
I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a week, or more.
Some people do so because of a work emergency where the long hours are only temporary. Other people I know have put in these hours for years. I don't know if they are working all these hours, but I do know they are in the office this long. Others put in long office hours because they are addicted to the workplace. Whatever the reason for putting in overtime, working long hours over the long term is harmful to the person and to the organization.
There are things managers can do to change this for everyone's benefit. Being in the office long hours, over long periods of time, makes way for potential errors. My colleagues who are in the office long hours frequently make mistakes caused by fatigue.
Correcting these mistakes requires their time as well as the time and energy of others. I have seen people work Tuesday through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5 PM on Monday.
Another problem is that people who are in the office for long hours are not pleasant company. They often complain about other people (who aren't working as hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry. Other people avoid them. Such behaviour poses problems, where work goes much better when people work together instead of avoiding one another.
As Managers, there are things we can do to help people leave the office.
First and foremost is to set the example and go home ourselves. I work with a manager who chides people for working long hours. His words quickly lose their meaning when he sends these chiding group e-mails with a time-stamp of 2 AM, Sunday.
Second is to encourage people to put some balance in their lives. For instance, here is a guideline I find helpful:
1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work.
2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours.
3) Go home.
4) Read the comics, watch a funny movie, dig in the dirt, play with your kids, etc.
5) Eat well and sleep well.
This is called recreating. Doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 enable step 2. Working regular hours and recreating daily are simple concepts. They are hard for some of us because that requires personal change. They are possible since we all have the power to choose to do them.
In considering the issue of overtime, I am reminded of my eldest son.
When he was a toddler, If people were visiting the apartment, he would not fall asleep no matter how long the visit, and no matter what time of day it was.! He would fight off sleep until the visitors left.. It was as if he was afraid that he would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he would go to sleep. By this time, however, he was over tired and would scream through half the night with nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all paid the price for his fear of missing out.
Perhaps some people put in such long hours because they don't want to miss anything when they leave the office. The trouble with this is that events will never stop happening. That is life! Things happen 24 hours a day.
Allowing for little rest is not ultimately practical. So, take a nap. Things will happen while you're asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up when you wake.
Hence "LOVE YOUR JOB BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY (Because you never know when it stops loving you)" - Narayana Murthy
