ALL THAT MATTERS SERIES
Garbage Trucks
Did you have a bad day ?
Are things not going well for you ?
Are people around you, bothering you a lot ?
One day, I hopped into a taxi and took off for the airport . We were driving in
the right lane when suddenly, a black car, jumped out of a parking space right
in front of us. My taxi driver slammed the brakes, skidded, and missed the
other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around
and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I
mean, was really friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy
almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver
taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'
He explained, "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of
garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their
garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it
on you. NEVER take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move
on with the routine life." Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people
at work, at home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over
their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...... 'Love
the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don't.'
A very rightly said quote: Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you take!!!!

Don’t Judge Early
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to
judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go
and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to
describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly,
bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds
and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled
so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had
ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and
drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that
you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the
essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from
that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Spare some time & ponder on the below
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches
and better times are sure to come some time or later.
To judge a person, try to walk him through all the different seasons of
your life, which you might go through

Peng Shuilin
How many times you have taken a resolution & dropped it
How many times have you felt disappointing for not meeting your goals
In life we keep complaining about what is or why we don’t have. Half the time
we seem dissatisfied, though full-bodied and free to choose. Fat people say,”I
want to be slim.” Skinny people say,” I want to be fatter.”
Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-
Half Price Store. The inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman and
is used as a role model for other amputees. At just 2ft 7ins tall, he moves
around in a wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability. His attitude
is amazing, he doesn’t complain. “He had good care, but his secret is
cheerfulness. Nothing ever gets him down.”
PENG Shuilin is 78cms high. He was born in Hunan Province, China. In 1995,
in Shenzhen, a freight truck sliced his body in half. His lower body and legs
were beyond repair.
Peng Shuilin, 37, spent nearly two years in hospital in Shenzhen, southern
China, undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ
or system inside his body. Peng kept exercising his arms, building up strength,
washing his face and brushing his teeth.
He Survived against all odds. Now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by
learning to walk again after a decade.
Considering Peng’s plight, doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre
in Beijing devised an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a
sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body, with two bionic legs
attached
It took careful consideration, skilled meaasurement and technical expertize.
Peng has been walking the corridors of Beijing Rehabilitation Centre with the
aid of his specially adapted legs and a resized
walking frame.

All About Management
Here is a real-life story that I read in the book "Peopleware: Productive
Projects and Teams” by Tom Demarco and Timothy Lister. .. It underlines
importance of the “human aspect” of our work; especially creative work that
requires significant emotional involvement too.
In my early years as a developer, I was privileged to work on a project
managed by Sharon Weinberg, now president of the Codd and Date Consulting
Group. She was a walking example of much of what I now think of as
enlightened management. One snowy day, I dragged myself out of a sickbed to
pull together our shaky system for a user demo. Sharon came in and found me
propped up at the console. She disappeared and came back a few minutes later
with a container of soup. After she’d poured it into me and buoyed up my
spirits, I asked her how she found time for such things with all the
management work she had to do. She gave me her patented grin and said,
Tom, this is management.”
Sharon knew what all good instinctive managers know: The manager’s
function is not to make people work, but to make it possible for people to work.
“The major problems of our work are not so much technological as
sociological in nature.”
10-10-10 Rule
Recently came across this 10-10-10 rule for making tough decisions.. Hope its
of help to you.. I find it very useful
Suzy Welch, a business writer for publications such as Bloomberg
Businessweek andO magazine. It’s called 10/10/10, and Welch describes it in a
book of the same name. To use 10/10/10, we think about our decisions on
three different time frames:
How will we feel about it 10 minutes from now?
How about 10 months from now?
How about 10 years from now?
