What is Maturity.........?

Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction.

Maturity is to have patience.

Maturity is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain.

Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging set-backs.

Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse.

Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so."

Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing.

Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which should be changed -- and the wisdom to know the difference.

Excellence...

A German once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage."

The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked. "There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work. "Where are you going to install the idol?"
   
The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. "If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."
 
The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and satisfaction.

Don't you think so?

When we would arrive early at the company how many of us park our vehicles far away from the entrance ? I'm sure, most of you must be inquisitive in knowing why have I questioned like this.....but here is the answer "Since we are here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think so?"

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us do with our time. We need to live each moment.

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans". There are many who will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized world.

Good One : Women & Men Chatting in Office

Women Friends chatting in office.
 
Woman 1: I had a fine evening, how was yours?
Woman 2: it was a disaster. My husband came home, ate his dinner in three minutes and fell asleep in two minutes. How was yours?
Woman 1: Oh it was amazing! My husband came home and took me out to a romantic dinner. After dinner we walked for an hour. When we came home he lit the candles around the house and afterwards talked for an hour. It was like a fairytale!
 
At the same time, their husbands are talking at work.
 
Husband 1: How was your evening?
Husband 2: Great. I came home, dinner was on the table, I ate and fell asleep. It was great! What about you?
Husband 1: It was horrible. I came home, there's no dinner because they cut the electricity because I hadn't paid the bill; so I had to take my wife out to dinner which was so expensive that I didn't have money left for a cab. We had to walk home which took an hour; and when we got home remember there was no electricity so I had to light candles all over the house! After all, I was so aggravated that I couldn't fall asleep and my wife was jabbering away for another hour!

Important to be a Nice Person

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.

The boy kept the biggest & the most beautiful marble aside & gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.  That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship (viz. love, friendship, employer employee relationship etc).

Give your 100% percent to everything you do & sleep peacefully.

"It's Nice To Be an important Person.  But, It's even more Important to be a Nice Person."

Self Confidence

The business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.
   
Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you."
   
He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!
   
"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the un-cashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.
   
With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
   
One year later, he returned to the park with the un-cashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
   
"I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller."And she led the old man away.
   
The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.
   
Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

Top 10 Worst cities for IT Pros

A recent survey had put Delhi on top of the most livable cities in India, courtesy its infrastructure, greenery and development. Popular techie destinations like Chennai, Mumbai and Pune too made it to the top ten of the list.

 

However, India's Silicon Valley failed to secure a place in top slot. But what about most favorable cities for techies? Though the jury is still not out on that, what we have for you is the Worst Cities for IT pros globally. The list was recently released by CIO.

 

Here's a look at the worst cities for IT pros.

 

1 - Linfen, China - Situated along the banks of Fen River, Linfen in China tops the list of worst cities for IT pros.

 

The city also tops the Times' list of most polluted cities in the world with more than 3,000,000 people potentially affected due to automobile and industrial emissions. The city also figures among the world's ten dirtiest cities.

 

According to reports, Linfen residents are at high risk of skin diseases and lung cancer. With high levels of sulfur dioxide in the air, the city pays the price of China's high dependence on coal. China sources 70% of its energy requirements from coal.

 

2 - Mexico City, Mexico - At No 2 on the worst cities list is Mexico's capital Mexico City. With an estimated population of 8.84 million as of 2009, the city is most densely populated in the country.

 

Also the largest city in Mexico, Mexico City is plagued by issues like high-level of pollution, noise and violence. Organized crime, drug abuse and alcoholism are some of the other factors that earn the city a place among the worst destinations for IT pros.

 

3 - McMurdo Station, Antarctica - American Antarctic research center, McMurdo Station, located on the southern tip of Ross Island in Antarctica is at No. 3 on the worst cities list.

 

The largest community in Antarctica, McMurdo Station's summer population reaches 1,000 while the winter population swells to about 250. Though the station needs IT support, software training and a 24x7 help desk, but the freezing temperature is the biggest deterrent for IT pros.

 

4 – Beijing, China - The capital city of China, Beijing, is at No. 4 on the worst cities for IT pros list.

 

China's second largest city, after Shanghai, Beijing figures among cities with worst traffic congestion globally. With over 17 million populations, the city faces problem of high pollution, smog and degradation of natural resources.

 

The report also cites recent incident of Google threatening to pull out of China due to censorship and allegations of government hacking into systems of IT companies as issues.

 

5 - Jakarta, Indonesia - The capital city of Indonesia Jakarta ranks at No. 5 on the worst cities for IT pros. The report quotes research from ORC Worldwide (a global human resources firm) that ranks Jakarta as the No. 2 riskiest place for workers.

 

According to Businessweek.com, other issues that put Jakarta among worst cities are pollution, disease and sanitation, lack of medical facilities, political violence and repression and crime.

 

The ORC report quotes, "The threat of violence, from Islamic extremists in particular, is a serious drawback to living here."

 

6 - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - Next worst city for IT pros is the capital city of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh that ranks at No. 6.

 

According to a survey by ORC Worldwide and Business Week, Riyadh faces problem of political violence and repression, political and social environment.

 

The report says, "The possibility of a terrorist attack is an ongoing threat, while wide-ranging restrictions on dress, movement, conduct, food, alcohol, travel and communications limit expatriate life."

 

7 – Mumbai, India - India's financial capital Mumbai too figures among the worst cities for techies.

 

Ranked as the seventh worst city for IT pros, Mumbai gets this dubious distinction for its high rate of pollution, disease & sanitation, infrastructure, political violence, climate and medical facilities.

 

According to Businessweek.com, other issues that makes Mumbai part of the list is worst slums, traffic jams and security issues.

 

8 - Nairobi, Kenya - Next worst city for IT pros is the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi which ranks at No 8.

 

The city's share of problems include: Crime, infrastructure, disease & sanitation, political violence & repression, and social environment.

 

According to ORC Worldwide research, "Violent crime is a significant drawback and shortages of water and electricity can be a challenge in Nairobi."

 

9 - Afghanistan - At No. 9 on the list is Afghanistan. According to the report, any city in Afghanistan is not an ideal destination for techies to work.

 

For reasons well known, many parts of Afghanistan fall under the sway of extremists. Almost all cities in the country reel under threats of terror attacks.

 

10 - Iraq - At No. 10 on worst cities list is Iraq. The continuous war in Iraq makes the country not so ideal destination for techies. Since 2006, the place is not even safe for tourists.
