FWD::

I'm wary of any email that contains this as part of its subject! Hey I didn't say I delete all those in this kind! Most of them r irritating like asking for donations for some child suffering from a rare disease like 'exam fever' or claiming to share Bill Gate's fortune with u (pls how naive can ppl be!!). But some r good...i mean really good.

Planning to make a collection of some good fwds i've received. Will keep putting them up on this post as they come. So all those who read this pls contribute for my collection with good fwds. P.S. I mean GOOD fwds only...i dont hav time to make 100s of wishes b4 sending chain emails!!!

1. What is confidence????

A hypothetical situation where 20 CEOs board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft.

Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company's software is running the aircraft's automatic pilot system. Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.

One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed. Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies : "If it is the same software that runs my company's IT systems, this plane won't even take off." !!!!

That is called Confidence!!!

2. Life is like Coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university Professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the Prof. 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 Prof. 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. That 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."

So friend, don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead.
