To distinguish between a good and a bad egg; you don't need to lay one :)) "Love me or Hate me, you won't be able to ignore me!" A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses. ~ Jean Cocteau Kabhi Kisi To Mukammal Jahan Nahin Milta Kabhi Kisi To Mukammal Jahan Nahin Milta Kahin Zameen To Kahin Aasmaa Nahin Milta Jise Bhi Dekhiye Woh Apne Aap Main Gum Hai Zubaan Mili Hain Magar HumZubaan Nahin Milta Bujhaa Saka Hai Bhala Kaun Waqt Ke Sholay Yeh Aise Aag Hai Jisme Dhuan Nahin Milta Tere Jahan Main Aisa Nahin Ke Pyaar Na Ho Jahan Ummeed Ho Iski Wahan Nahin Milta Nothing is as real as a dream.

When Sachin plays, big-city roads are easy and trains and buses ply empty at rush hour and the markets take a beating... When Sachin plays, grandmothers who know next to nothing about the game forget about knitting, resting and medicines and pray to their Gods as they sit frozen, staring nervously at their television screens... When Sachin plays, busy, ambitious executives ignore their calls and cancel their appointments and avoid their clients and miss their deadlines and put their careers on hold... When Sachin plays, school-yards are silent and playgrounds are deserted because those who normally make such a racket imitating their Hero are all too busy watching him make batting look so ridiculously easy and bowling such a difficult proposition... When Sachin plays, fathers who want the news and daughters and mothers who always want the soft stuff and brothers who fight for action, for once, All agree on what to watch... When Sachin plays, bowlers and fielders and opposing captains feel their frustration and inadequacy like at no other time and curse themselves and wonder what they can do, if anything, to end the shame, the nightmare, the humiliation... When Sachin plays, fans have no need for words at all and just jump and scream and whistle and clap and hug each other and cry and wave their flags and banners and thank their lucky stars for being there... When Sachin plays, India forgets its differences and divisions and teethers between tension and exhilaration and breathes and laughs and cries as One, as its heart fills with pride and joy and patriotism... When Sachin plays, the bowlers want to be on another planet and the spectators are already in Heaven When Sachin Plays, he plays for India... When Sachin Plays, everything else is Irrelevant... Cricket is life... The rest is mere details... We can Play Together, We can Win Together, We can Live Together. Pray for Indian Victories! Enjoy Sachin's Batting! As you follow Sachin's Batting, most of you will agreee with this saying, "Unhappy is the Country that has no Hero." Saying for Sachin. "Unhappy is the Country that has no Hero." ~ Bertolt Brecht in "Life of Galileo" Mumbai Mumbai... Ek Aisa Shaher Jise Kabhi Neend Nahin Aati... Jo Jaagte Huye Bhi Sapne Dekhta Hai... A city of hope - a city of dreams, Mumbai always feels like it is about to burst at the seams From the coolies to the seths, from the slums to the buildings rising high This city has given me the attitude of 'never say die' Mumbai... Mumbai... If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere Apni Marzi Se Kahan Apne Safar Ke Hum Hain Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain Rukh hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain. Pahle har cheez thi apni magar ab lagta hai Apne hi ghar me kisi doosre ghar ke hum hain Rukh hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain Waqt ke sath hai mitti ka safar sadion se Kisko maloom kahan ke hain kidhar ke hum hain, Chalte rehte hain ke chalna hai musafir ka nasib Sochte rehte hain kis rah guzar ke hum hain Rukh hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. ~ Kahlil Gibran 'The Prophet - Farewell' If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song. And if our hands should meet in another dream, we shall build another tower in the sky. ~ Kahlil Gibran 'The Prophet - Farewell' The Prophet - By Kahlil Gibran - Read it online Read it Online Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration - of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine. --Lance Secretan You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader. - Anthony J. D'Angelo "The College Blue BBook" A Good Leader always Leads from the Front by Example (and I admire Steve Waugh for that.) Leadership is action, not position. - Donald H. McGannon Leadership gravitates to the man who can get up and say what he thinks. As a rule, he (or she) who has the most information will have the greatest success in life. - Benjamin Disraeli Remember the difference between a boss and a leader; a boss says 'Go!' - a leader says 'Let's go!' - E.M. Kelly A leader is a dealer in hope. - Napoleon Bonaparte A Leader is the person who can transform vision into reality. Good Leadership starts with good communication with people. You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case. -Ken Kesey The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men, the conviction and the will to carry on. -Walter Lippmann You can only lead others where you yourself are prepared to go. -- Lachlan McLean Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. -- Apple Computer Advertisement Leadership Quotes: http://home.att.net/~quotesabout/leadership.html A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better. -- Jim Rohn Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person. -- Mother Teresa Management works in the system. Leadership works on the system. -- Stephen R. Covey The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction to carry on. --Walter Lippmann Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish. -- Sam Walton Leaders understand the power of choice -- Anonymous Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control. -- Tom Landry Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together. -- Jesse Jackson The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. ~ Max De Pree Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. - Ayn Rand - The Moratorium on Brains I'm working to improve my methods, and every hour I save is an hour added to my life. Whatever you do, or dream, begin it now.... Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. ~ Goethe History of the Internet- Links http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/brief.shtml http://www.forthnet.gr/forthnet/isoc/short.history.of.internet http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/cerf.shtml http://www.davesite.com/webstation/net-history.shtml http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/netbook/ http://www.zakon.org/robert/internet/timeline/ |
