Just 3 Words

J ust 3 Words
There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships.
Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words.
When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new
friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that
have soured.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

1. Let me help
Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they
do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

2. I understand you.
People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts
and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that
you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship.
And this can apply to any relationship.

3. I respect you
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another
person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were
adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This
applies to all interpersonal relationships.

4. I miss you.
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply
and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation
tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how
important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from
your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5. Maybe you're right.
This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication
when you say "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'm
wrong". Let's face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you
normally do is solidify the other person's point of view. They, or you,
will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously
damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can
open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the
opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the
other person.

6. Please forgive me
Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would
admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to
faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that
he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is
wiser today than he was yesterday.
7. I thank you.
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the
companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily
courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for
their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose
circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude
of gratitude.
8. Count on me
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential
ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds
people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and
true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you
can count on me."
9. I'll be there
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a
sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from
home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there."
Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When
we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and
us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally
and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.
10. Go for it
We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to
your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far
out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are
unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow
their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

B o n u s : 11. I love you
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone
that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs.
The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse,
your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little
words: "I love you." Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling
is gone.

This happened in a Mega mall in GURGAON

LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

To the men : warn your loved ones!
To the women : remember this!


About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women.

The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat.
A nice man dressed in business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, "I notice you're changing a flat tire.Would you like me to take care of it for you?"
The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.

The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car.

She was a little surprised and asked him why his car was on other side.

He explained that he had seen an old friend in the mall that he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat and visited for a while;he got t urned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit,and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the other side of the mall.

The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had just rescued her from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy.

Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car.

She told him that she'd be happy to drive him to his car, but she just remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only be few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as quick as she could be.

She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened;the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left.

They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape and knives.

When the police checked her "flat" tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's motive was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would have been had she waited in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat.

Or if she'd gone against her judgment and given him a lift.

A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it on to them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it....

PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!

JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!

Pass this long to every woman you have access to. Never let your guard down.

SOMETIMES, THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT IS THE VOICE OF GOD. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!

7 Golden Rules Of Making That Phone Call

7 Golden Rules Of Making That Phone Call


So you've finally managed to get the phone number of your latest crush. But that's only half the job done, for that first phone call will decide if you're getting any closer



Telephone etiquette plays an important role in forming a general impression of the person on the other end of the line. In fact, many conversation disasters can be avoided if one thinks before dialling. So if you are thinking of making that phone call, here are some tips that might help make a simple phone number your lucky number.

1. Short and sweet:

It is important to give the impression that you lead a full, active life even though you might be otherwise unemployed. By keeping your initial telephone conversations brief, you will give the person the impression that you are busy and in demand. Also, if you are always the one ending the conversations, it will keep you in a position of control, leaving them wanting more and more of your time.


2. Leave them high:

People usually remember what you say last. Therefore, its impor
tant that you prepare well for the ending conversation. Before ending the conversation, make an effort to leave on a positive note, such as with a well thought-out joke or a funny story. Even if your entire telephone conversation went poorly, if you leave them smiling before saying goodbye, they are more likely to want to speak to you again and hopefully see you in person which, of course, is your ultimate goal.

3. Add Purpose:

Don't just call to chitchat. Remember the three things you need to do before making that call: preparation, preparation, preparation. Be armed and ready with a purpose to your call (the most likely purpose being to meet up); this will give them the impression that you are assertive (this one is especially for you women) and thoughtful enough to think of a plan beforehand. This plan will also serve as a backup weapon should there be an awkward silence in the conversation.


4. Be Positive:

It doesn't matter if your boss is disrespectful or your
co-worker is incompetent complaints are a real turnoff, especially in the early stages of a relationship. Once in a while is ok, but the truth is that they probably won't stick around if you're all about gloom and negativity. You can avoid looking needy by keeping your emotional baggage to yourself, at least at the beginning. Make a concerted effort to keep all conversations positive.

5. Leave a message only on the second call:

You should avoid leaving a message on the first call; it may make you seem too needy. This is the most important rule and should not be tampered with: If the person doesn't answer your first call, hang up without leaving a message and try again later. Upon the second phone call, leave a message, and don't call again until they get back to you. By not calling more than twice, you not only avoid the appearance of desperation, but you also throw the ball into their court and get the chance to gauge their interest in you.


6. Time your call well:

Phone calls
during working hours are a complete no-no. If you take time off from work to call them, they'll know you have them on your mind. Also, they might not be as receptive to your phone call in the midst of coworkers and bosses. If you'd like to set up a date for the weekend, call by Wednesday. Avoid Friday and Saturday night phone calls at all costs; even if you are at home watching a movie by yourself. They don't need to know that.

7. Stick to the point when leaving messages:

Don't leave long, rambling messages on their voicemail. Picture this: Every message you leave on their voicemail could potentially be played back and analysed several times over. The contents can then become the subject of discussion with their friends. Therefore, your best defense against a disastrous message is briefness. Identify yourself by name, then get to the point. Leave one phone number where you can be reached, but don't leave your contact number, address, e-mail and so on this will just seem too desperate.

Quite simply, we want to see what DX10 delivers in this early native DX10 title. Also, a lot of readers have been curious to know if the likes of the 320 MB GeForce 8800 GTS and Radeon HD 2900 XT will be powerful enough for DX10 and we will find out.Testing will be done a bit differently for this article since we are exploring specific DX10 gaming impacts in Lost Planet rather than comparing what sort of gaming experience a specific video card delivers in a wide a range of games. We are going to keep the in-game settings and resolution and AA/AF at the same levels and compare in an “Apples-to-Apples” manor. This is being done so that we can see how GPU performance scales. Then we will compare the highest-playable settings with an included table of all the video cards tested here comparing DX9 and DX10 performance. We will then dive into image quality comparisons.

10 lifestyle mantras to beat hair LOSS

We all want lustrous, healthy-looking hair. And we spend a pretty packet on trying to get it.

But most of us miss out on the basics -- like a good diet, a simple but effective daily hair regime and son on. Hence we experience hair conditions like dandruff and hair fall.

Trichologists Dr Apoorva Shah and Dr Sonal Shah, who have trained at the Institute of Trichology in London, are certified hair specialists advisors from the International Association of Trichologists, Australia, offer a few tips.

The husband and wife duo are also the official hair advisors for the Miss India contest.

Their mantras:

~i. Eat lots of paneer , spinach (palak ), green veggies and milk.

~ii. Regularly oil and shampoo your hair. That's a must at least three times a week, to nourish your scalp. Applied oil must be washed within 24 hours or else it could mix with dust and clog the pores.

~iii. If you are allergic to oil then try to use medicated oil. Or else go in for a potion or hair tonic which has no component of oil. These too can nourish your scalp. They are also known as hair vitalisers.

~iv. Henna is also a good scalp conditioner, but not a good hair conditioner as it tends to make the hair dry and brittle. Hence you must use oil after washing off the henna, before shampooing.

~v. Washing your hair after a session of rigorous exercise like gymming, jogging etc when the scalp tends to sweat a lot is a must.

~vi. Once in a while chemical treatments like perming, chemical straightening etc are alright, but too much of it causes breakage of hair.

~vii. Another reason for hair getting damaged is heat exposure to the hair and scalp, with a blow-dryer, hot oil or hot water and usings combs with sharp teeth.

~viii. Never comb your hair when it is wet. Towel drying is the best way to dry your hair.

Why does hair fall?

Lack of hair oil, acute illness, dandruff, emotional shock or stress, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiency and hair colouring, sans the correct regime to go with it.

Of these, stress is a major cause of hair loss and baldness, in India and this condition is called Alopecia areata

ix) The cure for this is simple -- learn to live a relaxed life through regular meditation, occasional massages, music, yoga and prayers, which are all excellent stress busters.

x) Last but not the least, good hair is the barometer of good health, so practice these mantras and let your hair shine.


"We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever."

BEWARE OF THESE ORGANISATIONS

BEWARE OF THESE BANKS
Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank, we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These three banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their services.
BEWARE OF NOKIA
Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC.
Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much, ask for a replacement with a new set.
DO NOT BUY NOKIA 6260

BEWARE OF AIR DECCAN
Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that u will be allowed to fly. The booked tickets get cancelled without intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport to catch his flight.

BEWARE OF COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE
They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kns from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms from Bangalore. Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking payments through credit card.

BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS
If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any company or recovery agents. Ask their telephone number and report to the police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company.

BEWARE OF TATAINDICOM BROADBAND
Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of pains to recover it back.

This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music.If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such aswashing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, thiswill have a negative impact on health.Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, andideally should be done in a deep sleep state.Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore therewill sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time.Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere withtoxin removal process.Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier,before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is verybeneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skipbreakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process ofremoving unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 amis the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.Back to top

LIFE:Good one

On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years."The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span."The monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed again.
On the forth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."

Man said, "What? Only twenty years! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You've go t a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and for next ten years we sit o n the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you :-)

Superb Communication - Too too good

Programmer to Team Leader: "We can't do this proposed project. **CAN NOT**. It will involve a major design change and no one in our team knows the design of this legacy system. And above that, nobody in our company knows the language in which thisapplication has been written. So even if somebody wants to work on it, they can't. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never take these type of projects."Team Leader to Project Manager :"This project will involve a design change. Currently, we don't have any staff that has experience in this type of work. Also, the language isunfamiliar to us, so we will have to arrange for some training if we take this project. In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a project of this nature."Project Manager to 1st Level Manager : "This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have muchexperience in that area. Also, not many people in our company are appropriately trained for it. In my personal opinion, we might be able to dothe project but we would need more time than usual to complete it." 1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager :"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who haveworked in this area and others who know the implementation language. So they can train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this project, but with caution."Senior Level Manager to CEO :"This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in remodeling the design of a complete legacy system. We have all the necessaryskills and people to execute this project successfully. Some people havealready given in house training in this area to other staff members. In my personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us under anycircumstances."CEO to Client :"This is the type of project in which our company specializes. We have executed many projects of the same nature for many large clients. Trust mewhen I say that we are the most competent firm in the industry for doing this kind of work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this project successfully and well within the given time frame.

Good Joke!!!! Student Vs Professor

After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.
Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"Professor: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question.If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."

SPIDER BITE - Pls Read - Becareful with spiders



*A spider bite...please read...........*


And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!!


*Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day
period,
all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by
muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. **

There were no outward signs of trauma.

Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know
each
other, and seemed to have nothing in common. **I**t was discovered,
however,
that they had all visited the same Restaurant (Olive Garden) within days
of
their deaths. The health department descended on the restaurant,
shutting it
down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and
tested,
to no avail. **

The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the
hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on
vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She
did
not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. That is
when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to
the
restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat. Under
the
seat, out of normal view, was a small spider.

The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was
determined
to be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because
of
its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but
can
take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp
climates,
and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere.

Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital
emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been
away
on business, had taken a flight from Indonesia , changing planes
inSingapore, before returning home He did not visit (Olive Garden),
while
there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined
to
be a puncture wound, on his right buttock.

Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in
India .
The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of
the
toilets of all flights from India , and discovered the Two-Striped
Telamonia
(Telamonia dimidiata) spider's nests on 4 different planes!



Be careful about Cans

A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke
which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was
taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died
on Wednesday. The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This
was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests
showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the
disease Leptospirosis. Rat urine contains toxic and deadly substances
It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda
cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in
warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being
cleaned. A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more
contaminated than public toilets (i .e.) full of germs and bacteria.
So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any
kind of fatal accident. Please forward this message to all the people
you care about. (I JUST DID!)
