Supervisor and worker

Supervisor and worker
A Construction Supervisor from 16th Floor of a Building was calling a Worker on Ground Floor.
Because of noise
the Worker
did not hear his Call.
To draw Attention,
the Supervisor threw a 10 Rupee Note
in Front of Worker.
He picked up the Note, put it in His Pocket &
Continued to Work.
Again to Draw Attention the Supervisor threw 500 Rupee Note & the Worker did the same,
Now the Supervisor picked a small Stone & threw on the Worker.
The Stone hit the Worker.
This time the Worker looked Up &
the Supervisor Communicated with Him.
.
.
This Story is same as to our 'LIFE'...
God from Up,
wants to Communicate with Us,
but We are Busy doing our Worldly Jobs.
Then, he give Us Small Gifts & Big Gifts......
We just keep them without looking from Where We Got it.
We are the Same.
Just keeping the gifts
without Thanking him,
We just say
We are LUCKY.
And when we are Hit with a Small Stone, which We call PROBLEMS,
then only We look Up & Communicate with him.
Thts y it is said. .....
He gives, gives n forgives
N
We get, get n forget.......

Correcting One's Course -this is light house!

Correcting One's Course

"Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction."

The following story has been around on the email for a while but it isn't true. It does make for a good parable however. "Once upon a time" there was a radio conversation between two ships off the coast of Neverland.

Ship One: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Ship Two: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Ship One: This is the Captain of a navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Ship Two: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Ship One: This is an AIRCRAFT CARRIER and we are accompanied by numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change YOUR course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or counter measures will be taken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Ship Two: This is a lighthouse. 

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me not to be carried away with my own importance, never blame others for my problems, and always be open to correction and guidance. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

Life is Simple! Don't Complicate it! - Toothpaste production line!

Life is Simple! Don't Complicate it!

A CEO Spends $8m And Hires A Team Of Engineers To Solve A Problem. But The Solution Surprises Everyone...Except The Engineers.

A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Small variations in the environment (which can't be controlled in a cost-effective fashion) mean you must have quality assurance checks smartly distributed across the line so that customers all the way down the supermarket don't get pissed off and buy someone else's product instead.

Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the toothpaste factory got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already too stretched to take on any extra effort.

The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution — on time, on budget, high quality and everyone in the project had a great time. They solved the problem by using some high-tech precision scales that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighing less than it should. The line would stop, and someone had to walk over and yank the defective box out of it, pressing another button when done.

A while later, the CEO decides to have a look at the ROI of the project: amazing results! No empty boxes ever shipped out of the factory after the scales were put in place. Very few customer complaints, and they were gaining market share. "That's some money well spent!" – he says, before looking closely at the other statistics in the report.

It turns out, the number of defects picked up by the scales was 0 after three weeks of production use. It should've been picking up at least a dozen a day, so maybe there was something wrong with the report. He filed a bug against it, and after some investigation, the engineers come back saying the report was actually correct. The scales really weren"t picking up any defects, because all boxes that got to that point in the conveyor belt were good.

Puzzled, the CEO travels down to the factory, and walks up to the part of the line where the precision scales were installed. A few feet before it, there was a $20 desk fan, blowing the empty boxes out of the belt and into a bin. "Oh, that — one of the guys put it there 'cause he was tired of walking over every time the bell rang", says one of the workers.
