From a friend in the US

How many zeros in a billion?
This is too true to be funny .

The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR
tax money .
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases .

A .
A billion seconds ago it was 1959 .

B .
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive .

C .
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age .

D .
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet

E .
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it .
While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a
look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn
with some simple division

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu
is presently asking the Congress for
$250 BILLION
to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number,
what does it mean?

A .
Well, if you are one of
484,674 residents of
New Orleans
(every man, woman, child),
you each get $516,528 .

B .
Or,
if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans,
your home gets $1,329,787

C .
Or,
if you are a family of four,
your family gets
$2,066,012 .

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world .

We had absolutely no national debt,
had the largest middle class in the world,
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids .

What happened?
Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to
'press 1'
for English .

I hope this goes around the
USA
at least 100 times

What the heck happened?????

I still wondering whether the numbers are true...?

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

 

Effective Communication..!! A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Great men say, "Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience." The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!! And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

KNOW UR Value....!

KNOW UR Value....! A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.   In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams. "VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED "
