'A serious  thought ......'

Contributed by : Saurabh Oka.



A group of children are playing near two railway  tracks, one still in use  while the other unused. Only one child is playing on  the unused track,  the rest on the operational track. The train comes, and you are just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the unused track and save most of the kids.

However, that  would also mean the lone child playing by the unused track would be sacrificed.  Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think  what kind of decision we could make...


Most people might choose to divert  the course of the train, and sacrifice  only one child.

In order to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational  decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you  ever thought that the child choosing to play on the unused  track had in fact  made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to  be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.

This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, and our society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how far-sighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational  track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for  him.

The friend who has forwarded this story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and  that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.

If the  train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he  never  thought the train could come over to that track!

While we are all aware  that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize  that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

Siddhuism

These are a few of the Siddhu's comments in the recent cricket matches...........

There is light at the end of the tunnel for India,  but it's that of an on coming train which will run them over.
  
Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.
  
Kenya in South Africa was like a mountain having labor pains.
  
India looks like a crippled cobra whose fangs are clipped.
  
Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!

If ifs and buts were pots and pans, there would be no tinkers!
  
That ball went so high that it could have got an airhostess down with it.
  
Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide.
  
Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taximeter.
  
He is like Indian three-wheeler which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot go beyond 30!
 
The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which cannot fly !
  
The gap between bat and pad is so much that I would have driven a car through it!
 

As uncomfortable as a bum on a porcupine. 
 
The ball whizzes past like a bumblebee and the Indians are in the sea.
  
The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack.
 
He is a dibbly dobbly bowler.
 
The pitch is as dead as a dodo.
 
Deep Dasgupta is as confused as a child in a topless bar!
  
We are all Adam's children - it's just the silk that makes all the Difference!
  
The way Indian wickets are falling reminds of the cycle stand at  Rajendra Talkies in Patiala, one falls and everything else falls!
 
Some of Sachin's shots have a tag on it: "Performed by professionals,  do not try this at home!"

Money
 
It can buy a house, but not a home.
It can buy a bed, but not sleep.
It can buy a clock, but not time.
It can buy you a book, but not knowledge.
It can buy you a position, but not respect.
It can buy a medicine, but not health.
It can buy you blood, but not life.
 
    So you see, money isn't everything. I tell you all this because I am your friend & as your friend, I want to take away all your pain and suffering. So send me all your money and I will suffer for you. A true friend than me you'll never find. Cash only please !
 
The theorem of Income
    Dilbert's theorem of income states that engineers, teachers, programmers & scientists never earn as much money as business executives and sales people. This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following 3 postulates.
 
Postulate 1 : Knowledge is Power (Knowledge = Power)
Postulate 2 : Time is Money         (Time = Money)
Postulate 3 : As every physics student knows, (Power = Work / Time)
 
It therefore follows :
                    Power = Work / Time
But Knowledge = Power,
therefore,       Knowledge = Work / Time
As Time = Money,
                    Knowledge = Work / Money
Therefore,
                    Money = Work / Knowledge.
Thus, as knowledge approaches zero, money earned tends to infinity regardless of the amount of work done.
 
CONCLUSION : The less you know, the more you make !

Priorities in Life
*****
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then
asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
 
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
 
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
 
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
 
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
 
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
 
The sand is everything else-the small stuff.
 
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal.
 
"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
 
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."
