The Perfect Boss . . .

There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job. One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm. His boss replied "OK, You're permitted to leave the office early today" .The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM. Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss, He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children.

He reached home. Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him "Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry. The man replied "If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but what about Children ??"
Wife replied "You don't know ?? Your manager came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children to the exhibition "


What had really happened was ...

The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition . The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it is done, loyalty is established. That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS........

        Here is an ecxellent piece of stupid joke ( i dont dare call it a joke but then i'm sure you wil certainly laugh at it). This i actually recieved as an sms from one of my pals who is usually good at these stuffs-the witty or rather insane smsing..

  

The sms short story goes like this (story writer:sudarshan) :

  Story line: How a crow can damage your life 

There is a power-cut all of a sudden, and having nothing else to do, suda alias sudarshan falls asleep. There are too many disturbances around-noises-phone bell rings- mom gossips- and gossips- and gossips- grandmom making noises - birds chirping- kids playing - suda(the hero of this story) lost his cool and kicked the bero in rage. leg damage...TENSION all over!

Now where does the crow come into picture...? here's where : the crow bit some wire in transformer, the transformer burst..leading to this power-cut...crow died...suda cried...!!

MORAL OF THE STORY IS : Don't sleep on afternoons, especially during power cuts!!

    well, now, i can see that you are wondering if suda is insane or it is me who really is...to post this stupid sms here and call it a joke. But you know, at times such small msgs can make you laugh when you are stressed or depressed. I was just not having a good time this afternoon wen this msg just made me laugh and i decided to share this moment with my blog buddies. And as this story teller usually quotes... 

"TAKE IT LITE" !!!

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress - This is the word that spoils everything - career,relationship,friendship etc. I had shared my views with regard to stress management, hope you'll find this useful.Stress is a psychological state that affects the immune system.

In this fast moving world, there is connection between stress and vulnerability to viral infections such as colds is widely recognized. For example, cold,fever & flu rates increase among students during exam periods. Can you find why? The reason is due to stress which keeps down the immune system.Keeping a positive outlook on life can help to overcome the weakening of the immune system. Stress develops depression. Depression affects learning and memory.

So it is essential to manage the stress. Stress can be managed through a healthy lifestyle, including physical exercise, humour which keeps in control the blood level flow which gets increased to brain,muscles and heart due to stress. Men and women handle stress in different dimensions. While men tend to isolate themselves from others, women will turn to relatives/friends for help to get rid of the stress.




Some quick tips & tricks to overcome this stress:
1. Humor therapy - Keep yourself a sense of humour.
2. Listening to your favourite music which can calm your mind.
3. Exercising daily - in the early morning(Physical exercise helps to strengthen brain cells).
4. Cultivate the habit of learning new skills daily.
5. Commitment to listening plus to teach something you know.
6. You shouldn't make/feel yourself depressed as depressing harms brain function.
7. Also you need to be in your weight -not under/over weight which helps you to think faster (See the people in japan/china who are neither under nor over weight and just see their working potential - japan -2nd in economy, china =hardware)..Slim a bit to think faster.
8. Just try to greet back the people whoever greet you, don't always expect someone to greet you, that shows you are not easy moving. Include some good soft skills within you to improve your career skills.
9. Think before you start anything so that you needn't stress yourself later. Strategically thinking & Visualizing - very important ingredients of life.
10. Proper sleep is essential for acquiring new knowledge and learning new skills. So sleep proper to reach top levels.Overall if you try to implement full-brain engagement then there is no room for stress.
11.yoga,prayers & aerobics are some of the best stress management therapies.
