ಅನಿಸಿಕೆ

ಇವತ್ತು ಯಾಕೋ ಏನೋ ಬರಿಯುವ ಆಸೆ ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಈ ಪತ್ರ. ನಾವು ನಮ್ಮ ಜೀವನವೆಲ್ಲ ಬರಿ ದುಡಿದು ದುಡ್ಡು ಮಾಡುವ ದಲ್ಲೇ ಕಳೆದು ಬಿಡುತ್ತೇವೆ, ಆದರೆ ನಾವು ಒಂದು ಜೀವನದ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದ ಗುರಿಯನ್ನೇ ಮರೆತಿರೋ ಹಾಗೆ ಅನಿಸುತಿದೆ. ಅದು ಏನು ಎಂದರೆ ನಮ್ಮಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವುದು. ನಾವು ಆಧುನಿಕ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಷ್ಟು ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ತ ಲಿನರಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಎಂಬುದು ನಮಗೆ ಅರಿವು ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ಇರಬಹುದು. ನನಗೆ ಬೇರೆಯವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ನಾನೇ ಹಲವಾರು ಬಾರಿ ಹಾಗೆ ನಡೆದು ಕೊಂಡಿದೆನ್ಣೇ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳಲ್ಲೂ ವಿಷಾದಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ನಮ್ಮದು ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಬದುಕು, ಅದರಲ್ಲೇ ಹಲವಾರು ಮೆಚ್ಚುಗೆಯ ಕಾರ್ಯ ಮಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯಲ್ಲರ ಆಸೆ, ಅದು ತಪ್ಪಲ್ಲ, ಆದರೆ ಮಿತ್ಯ ಜಗತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದೋ ಶಾಶ್ವತ ಅಲ್ಲವೋ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಮಯ ವ್ಯರ್ತ ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳುವ ನನ್ನ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ, ನನ್ನಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಷಮಿಸಿ, ಇಂತಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ, ರಾಜೀವ

Even the slightest things matter

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 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 President 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.

Once time became 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 to 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 a cool thinking. Don't just say its "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort... Observe the word "IMPOSSIBLE" carefully... You can see "I'M POSSIBLE"... What really matters is your attitude and your perception

Priceless

Martin wakes up very late at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.

Martin looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table - "Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to go shopping. Love You!" So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Martin asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious, broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."

Confused, Martin asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?" His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady! Leave me alone! I'm married!"

Moral

Self-induced hangover -- $100.00

Broken furniture -- $500.00

Breakfast -- $10.00

Saying the right thing while drunk -- PRICELESS!
