A few things I hate bout people

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time...I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?


2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.



3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?


4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it?


5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?" No Loser, I paid Rs.125 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.


6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?


7. When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.


8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?


9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

The Secret of Success….!!!

A young man asked Socrates the secret of success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him into the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and swiftly ducked him into the water.

The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled the boy’s head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air.

Socrates asked him, "what did you want the most when you were there?" The boy replied, "Air". Socrates said, "That is the secret of success! When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it!" There is no other secret.

The Richest Man In History:John D. Rockefeller....


When John D. Rockefeller was a young boy, he said that his two
greatest ambitions were to make $100,000 and to live to be 100 years
old. He died on May 23, 1937, just 26 months shy of his 100th
birthday and with a net worth of $1.4 billion.

Over a forty-year career that was mired in controversy, Rockefeller
made a name for himself in America's budding oil industry. He built
Standard Oil into the largest company in the world and eventually
also became the richest man in the world. Adjusting for inflation,
some experts suggest that Rockefeller was the richest human being
ever to have lived.

Born November 13, 1810 in Richford, New York, John Davison
Rockefeller was the second of six children to parents William and
Eliza. William was a traveling salesman in the business of selling
such suspect things as cancer cures. While he was away, it was left
to Eliza to take care of the home. The family moved around, first to
Moravia and later, Owego, where Rockefeller attended Owego Academy.

In 1853, the family moved to Strongsville, Ohio, where Rockefeller
went to Central High School. At 19, he became a deacon at the Euclid
Avenue Baptist Church and a trustee at 21. In 1855, Rockefeller
dropped out of high school to take a business course at Folsom
Mercantile College. A six-month course, Rockefeller had completed it
in just three.

After searching for six weeks, Rockefeller found his first job as an
apprentice bookkeeper at Hewitt & Tuttle, a commission merchant and
produce shipping company. He started off earning 50 cents per day, a
salary that would gradually increase over the next two years due to
his increasing responsibilities and improving performance. In 1859,
Rockefeller felt that he was no longer making the amount of money he
deserved and so he left Hewitt & Tuttle. With a partner, Maurice
Clark, Rockefeller decided to create his own produce commission
company.

That year, Cleveland-based Clark & Rockefeller was launched and it
became an instant success. It wasn't long before their new company
had accumulated enough capital to be able to invest in other
businesses. Along with chemist Samuel Andrews, Clark & Rockefeller
invested in an oil refinery. Rockefeller was confident in the bright
future of the oil business and over the next five years delved
wholeheartedly into making his company a success.

So confident was Rockefeller in the oil business that in 1865, he
decided to sell his share of Clark & Rockefeller to his partner. Far
from giving up, Rockefeller wanted to branch out on his own. He used
the proceeds from the sale of his shares to invest in another
refinery, which soon became Rockefeller & Andrews. Two years later,
they bought out the refinery that had been started by Rockefeller' s
brother, William. They also joined with Henry Flagler in creating
Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler.

By 1868, this new partnership had become the largest petroleum
refiner in the world. Recognizing their potential, the Rockefeller
brothers, Andrews, Flagler and another silent partner began
absorbing their competition. Together, in 1870, the five businessmen
launched Standard Oil. With Rockefeller as its new president, the
company would soon find itself at the forefront of a booming
industry, achieving unprecedented success.

Pretty interesting uhhh...??

'Fail to learn, learn to fail'

It is well known that for 28 years Abraham Lincoln experienced one failure after another. In 1833 he had a nervous breakdown. When he ran for speaker in 1838 he was defeated. In 1848 he lost re-nomination to Congress and was rejected for land officer in 1849. These failures didn't stop him from battling on. In 1854 he was defeated for the Senate. Two years later he lost the nomination for vice-president and was again defeated for the Senate in 1858. Yet, despite it all, in 1860 he was elected president and went down in history as one of America's greatest presidents.

Obviously, success isn't the absence of failure. It is having the determination to never quit because "quitters never win and winners never quit."

Almost every person who has achieved anything worthwhile with his or her life has not only experienced failure but experienced it many times. Lincoln experienced innumerable failures, but he was never a failure because he never gave up.

Enrico Caruso failed so many times with his high notes that his voice teacher advised him to give up. He didn't. Instead, he persevered and became one of the world's greatest tenors.

Albert Einstein and Werner von Braun both failed courses in math. Henry Ford was broke when he was 40.

Thomas Edison's school teacher called him a dunce, and later he failed over 6,000 times before he perfected the first electric light bulb.

How to face the hike in Petrol costs....??

The simple optimistic answer is to ask ourselves "Who says petrol is costly....??" J



Read on…


This is a forwarded Message:


I filled up my car's fuel tank, and I thought fuel has become really expensive after the recent price hike.


But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.


To know why, see the results below - you'll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are ! !


Diesel (regular) in Mumbai : Rs.36.08 per litre


Petrol (speed) in Mumbai : Rs.52 per litre


Coca Cola 330 ml can : Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre


Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre


Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre


Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre


Medicinal Mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per litre


Red Bull 150 ml can : Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre


Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre


Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre so its Rs. 660 for a litre of WATER !!


And the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)


Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre


Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 100 ml Rs. 50 = Rs. 500 per litre


Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per litre


Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2720 per litre


And this is the REAL KICKER...


HP DeskJet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per litre!!!


Now you know why computer printers are so cheap ? So they have you hooked for the ink !!!


So, the next time We are at the pumping station, lets not curse anyone – but just be glad our cars doesn't run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink !!!


Thats wat we call optimistic thinking don’t we….??
