regardless of how trivial their job.

later.

person in the car behind you.

Become someone's hero.

Count your blessings.

Compliment the meal when you're a guest in
someone's home.

Thought for the day…

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one.

Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Paulo Coelho

Brazilian Author and Lyricist

Quotes...

Some of my Fav quotes...

If you miss an opportunity, do not close your eyes with tears… Keep your vision clear so that you will not miss next one.

Anger is a condition in which
the tongue works faster than the mind.

You can't change the past,
but you can ruin the present
by worrying over the future.

Thank God for what you have,
TRUST GOD for what you need.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and
the worries of tomorrow,
you have no today to be thankful for.

We take for granted the things
that we should be giving thanks for.

For every minute you are angry with someone,
you lose 60 seconds of happiness
that you can never get back.

Do what you can, for who you can,
with what you have, and where you are.

Boys to Men - Number Cruncher

From college to work, from amateur to pro, it’s a sequential time line.

What happens when you decide to do both?
Running to work after lectures, while friends sitting at the bus stop share a smoke?

The aimlessness of college life is a celebrated period, but many students are turning professionals.

Number Cruncher
Harish Talreja, 20, Finance

“I finished my Bachelor in Management Studies at HR College this April. And I’ve become permanent at Yahoo! India after working part time with them for two-and-a-half years — that’s all through college. I’m a computer geek. What do you think my aim in life is? To work and learn at Yahoo! is the perfect start. You need some amount of determination to run to work after hours of boring lectures. But you also need a flexible, understanding employer. I was allowed leave for exam weeks. There were times when after college, I would just have two hours to spend at work, out of which half an hour I would be travelling. I could get lazy and decide not to go, but you have to push yourself that extra bit. You learn a lot; I wouldn’t count that over anything else.“
