Rivalry Among Friends

Good friends help us grow. They bring stability in our ever-changing world. They're good for our well-being. It's natural to have conflicts with true friends, but they're too precious to let go. Follow these steps to mend a broken friendship.

Step 1 - Practice empathy. Broken friendships often occur because of misunderstandings. Your friend's behavior was likely because of the problems in her life and not a wish to hurt or use you.

Step 2 - Write him a letter about what you're feeling. Let your anger go but explain to him why you feel wronged. Writing helps you get your thoughts in order.

Step 3 - Mark a date on your calendar when you'll approach your friend. Prepare for it the day before with meditation, physical exercise, aromatherapy or whatever relieves your stress.

Step 4 - Stay calm when patching up a broken friendship, no matter what happens. Anger clouds your vision and inhibits communication.

Step 5 - Forget your pride and apologize, even if you've been wronged. She may not even realize she treated you badly. Or if she does, she may have been scared to make the first move.

Step 6 - Relive good memories together. Nothing mends a broken friendship better than shared positivity. Remind each other why you've stayed friends for so long.

Step 7 - Accept that not every broken friendship can go back to the way it was. You've both grown during your time apart. But it's worth maintaining good friendships even if they're not as close as before.

And I hope, they (friends) solve there conflict and become friends once again. Please cross your fingers bcoz I want to see them together.

Engineer's Brain

Seems this is a real story that happened between the customer of General Motors and its Customer-Care Executive.

A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:

This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you

for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that

we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after

dinner each night. but the kind of ice cream varies so, every night,

after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream

we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a

fact that I recently purchased a new pontiac and since then my trips

to the store have created a problem.

You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from

the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream,

the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this

question, no matter how silly it sounds:

"What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get

vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?"

The Pontiac Executive was understandably skeptical about the letter,

but sent an Engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised

to be greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine

neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time,

so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It

was vanilla ice cream that night and, sure enough, after they came

back to the car, it wouldn't start.

The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got

chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The

car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to

start.

Now the Engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this

man's car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore,

to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem.

And toward this end he began to take notes: he jotted down all sorts

of data: time of day, type of gas uses, time to drive back and forth

etc. In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy

vanilla than any other flavor.

Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the

most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store

for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the

store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to

check out the flavor. Now, the question for the Engineer was why the

car wouldn't start when it took less time.

Eureka - Time was now the problem - not the vanilla ice cream!!!!

The engineer quickly came up with the answer: "vapour lock". It was

happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other

flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When

the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapour lock

to dissipate.

Remember:

Even crazy looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem

to be simple only when we find the solution with cool thinking.

Don't just say its "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort...

Observe the word "IMPOSSIBLE" carefully... Looking closer you will

see, "I'M POSSIBLE"...

What really matters is your attitude and your perception...

The Socrates Triple Filter Test...

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.

One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called

.

.

.

.

.

THE TRIPLE FILTER TEST..."

"TRIPLE FILTER?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test."

"The first filter is TRUTH. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

 

'All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of GOODNESS. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of USEFULNESS. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

Friends, use this triple filter each time you hear loose talk about any of your near & dear friends.

DOST YEH STORY HUM LOGO KE LIYE HAI.........

Once PVNR (PV Narasimha Rao), L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were

travelling in an autorickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of 

them died.

Yama Raja was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death.

He asks PVNR and Advani to go to HEAVEN.

But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.

Laloo is not at all happy with this decision. 

He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. All the three of

them had served the public. Similarly, all took bribes, all misused public

positions, etc.

Then why the differential treatment? 

He felt that there should be a formal test or an objective evaluation before

a decision is made; and should not be just based on opinion or pre-conceived

notions.

Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English 

test.

TEST 1:

PVNR is asked to spell 'INDIA' and he does it correctly.

Advani is asked to spell 'ENGLAND' and he too passes.

It is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell 'CZECHOSLOVAKIA'. 

Laloo protests that he doesn't know English.

He says this is not fair and that he was given a tough question and thus

forced to fail with false intent.

Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another chance 

assuming that Laloo should at least feel that Hindi would provide an equal

platform for all three).

TEST 2:

PVNR is asked to write 'KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW'. He writes it easily and

passes.

Advani is asked to write 'BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN'. He too passes. 

Laloo is asked to write 'BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR....'.

Tough one. He fails again.

Laloo is extremely unhappy.

Having been a student of history (which the other two weren't),he now 

requested for all the 3 to be subjected to a test in history

Yama says OK but this would be the last chance and that he would not take

any more tests.

TEST 3:

PVNR is asked: 'When did India get Independence?'. He replied '1947' and 

passed.

Advani is asked 'How many people died during the independence struggle?'...

He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 100,000 or 200,000

or 300,000.

Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.. 

It's Laloo's turn now.

Yama asks him to 'Give the Name and Address of each of the 200,000 who died

in the struggle'. [:P].

Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL...

Moral of the story:  "IF YOUR MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE......So be Prepared!!"
