Lesson of my life

I am telling about one of my bad experiences which I have faced in my life. Nearly around three-four years back, I had a love affair with my girlfriend. Her name is Suchita. Both we were working in the same office.

In earlier days we used to share our feelings, life experiences and day-to-day happenings. Always we work together. Months went past, our friendship turned to love and we fell in love with each other. I even decided to marry her.

Her father was already in search of a groom, who measures up to his expectations. My bad luck, her parents were against my wishes and she got marry with another person. I was upset. I have lost my interest in life. Love disappointment affected my life severely. At one stage, I was intent on destroying myself.

One day I met one of my good friends and narrated my whole story. I poured my heart out in front of him. He suggested to read one book titled ‘Learn to live’ Written by Swamy Jagadatmananda.

That helps a lot for me. While reading I got will-power. I immersed myself in reading good books. Listened music, used to visit temples whenever I felt to need peace of mind. I concentrated in work which later helps to get success in my carrier.

I learned a lesson from this incident that the most important step to resolve any kind of problem is to accept and acknowledge its existence.

A butterfly flapping its wings in China could cause a cyclone in California

The classic version ‘A butterfly flapping its wings in China could cause a cyclone in California’, describes the fact that how a small, seeming unrelated happenings can have major effects on results in a chaotic system. For example if we take stock market movement, a small incidence in China can influence negatively in the stock market of California or elsewhere.

Stock markets are truly chaotic, and, fundamental stock analysis is necessary to understand the forces driving stock-price movements. Any action anywhere in the world can influence phenomena elsewhere as the butterfly that alters its usual pattern of pollen collection can create a different enough wind flow as to ultimately. In September 11, 2001, terrorists were attacked on world trade center in USA, the whole world was stunned. Stock market stumbled all over the world. It was not limited to USA. In the same way, recent economic slowdown which starts from USA gradually affects the other country’s economy.

Silent writer, Malgaokar

Manohar Malgaokar, who died recently was one of few proficient Indian writers in English. He was breathed his last in his home in the jungle village of Jagalbet in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka State. He left behind a trail of memories among the lovers of Indian writers in English.
Being a multi-faceted personality, he was involved in various activities. He was not only a writer, but also a great wildlife lover, an environmentalist, a crusader, a historian, a soldier in the army, an essayist, a game hunter, a mine owner and a civil servant. He epitomized the rural life in his novels as he spent whole his life after he completed his services in the
deep jungle as a security guard to protect the rich flora and fauna.
The author of acclaimed novels like 'A Bend in the Ganges'' that depicted life in the times of violent partition period and 'The Distant Drum' that gave an 'imprint' of the Indian Army during the days of the British Raj, has left a memory that is undiminishable among the minds and heart of his readership. Most of Malgaokar's activities were concentrated during the momentous times of Indian history before Independence and soon after it. The socio-economic milieu of those times form the backdrop of his novels which are usually of adventure and action, probably reflecting someway his own life.
Born rich, he was never attracted by the city culture though most of his education was in Mumbai. His experience as the
Lieutenant Colonel in Maratha Light Infantry during the second World War had given him rich knowledge and an impetus to write novels.
This seemed to be the reason why he wrote his first novel 'Distant Drum', at the age of 47, narrating the life of a soldier on the
battlefield and the spirit of the Indian warrior. He dealt with freedom struggle and pains of split in his novel 'A Bend in the Ganges'. It was 'The Prince' that brought him name and fame. Malgaokar's novels 'Combat of Shadow', 'Devils Wind', 'The Men Who killed Gandhi' were widely read by the readers all over the world. His 'Men in Uniform' was one of the best writings, apart from 'Chatraptis of Kolhapur'.
He also wrote a number of essays and contributed to various newspapers as long as he was able to write. Even at the age of 98
his vast reading habit was reflected in the rich library in his gorgeous bungalow in Jagalbet.
After losing his wife, Manorama, he continued to live in his solitary village house alone like a saint and continued his study of literature and forests. His love for social feelings was also deep. He never forgot 'down to earth' people. He was man who never aspired for publicity and preferred to live a solitary life. However, he never forgot the common masses and never took to any white colored people.
This was the reason why he is called the ''silent writer'' but very popular. After the demise of his wife, books and writings
were his only companions. Even then, he led a ''royal life'' in the deep villages of woods.

Way to Your top Choice School

With hundreds of thousands of applications receiving each year by colleges, and universities you may not get a chance to face a personal interview to present yourself as a complete package. But, you have a good chance to present yourself through your admission essay. Your college admission essay is the best way to your top choice school. Use this chance to highlight your true potential, and experience. It is your personal tool which allows you to distinguish yourself from the hundreds of thousands of other applicants with similar score and background.
A poorly executed essay may be resulted in rejection from the school administration. On the other hand, well written exceptional essay can help students with marginal scores get into the schools of their dreams.
The most engaging and compelling essay tells a story and have a clear focus. Writing should reveal student's passions and expose their personality. A clear narration of a difficult time in your past life tells far more about you than a list of competitions won and honors achieved. When you finish reading them, you will feel a tiny bit likes you met someone, maybe even someone you would like to meet again.
Just give a touch of humor to your essay. While it’s important to be thoughtful and mature, you do not want your college application essay to be too heavy. Try to lighten up the essay with a well-placed witticism, a clever metaphor, or a little self-deprecating humor. The essay that is filled with bad puns or off-color jokes will often end in the rejection pile. Overall tone of your essay is also very important. Take much care to balance your pride in your achievements with humility towards others.

Profit is important than ethics in business

Good business and turnover is very important for any company to make it success. Being a president of the firm he/she should took a good decision as his/her main responsibility is to promote the business. In a business profit is more important rather than ethics.
Here is one example. Marry had a graduation in general business, but she got job in accounts department. She used her father's influence to get the job in a firm. Watson, president of the firm gave her a job and paid high salary which didn't match her caliber. He hoped that his action would lead to future business from her father's company. Because, her father David, who is executive vice president of a firm purchased many of his firm's supplies from Watson's company. But she was irresponsible, and developed a pattern of coming late to the office, taking long lunch breaks, and leaving early. When a difficult job was assigned to her, she got one of the other employees to do it, implying that Watson would be pleased with that person if he or she helped her. When the department manager attempted to reprimand her, Marry would bring up the close relationship that her father had with the president of the firm. So manager was helpless. Watson had hired her because he hoped that his action would lead to future business from her father's company. So he didn't bother about her educational back ground, or caliber at the time of recruitment, and also shows generosity while paying her.
