Let's have an eagle year 2016!

Chetan Bhagat- I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright  shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.

He handed me a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wasu, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'

Taken aback, I read the card. It said: Wasu's Mission Statement:
To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.

This blew me away. Especially when I noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!

As he slid behind the wheel, Wasu said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'

I said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'

Wasu smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, lassi, water and orange juice.'

Almost stuttering, I said, 'I'll take a Lassi.'

Handing me my drink, Wasu said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have The Hindu, Times of India, ET and India Today.'

As they were pulling away, Wasu handed me another laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'

And as if that weren't enough, Wasu told me that he had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him.

Then he advised me of the best route to my destination for that time of day. He also let me know that he'd be happy to chat and tell me about some of the sights or, if I preferred, to leave me with my own thoughts.

'Tell me, Wasu,' I was amazed and asked him, 'have you always served customers like this?'

Wasu smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard about power of choice one day.'

'Power of choice is that you can be a duck or an eagle.'

'If you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. Stop complaining!'

'Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'

'That hit me right,' said Wasu.

'It is about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were
unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.'

'I take it that has paid off for you,' I said.

'It sure has,' Wasu replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on it.'

Wasu made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.

I WANT TO BE A TV/LAPTOP

I WANT TO BE A TV

A Primary School teacher asks her pupils to write an essay on ”What wish do you want from God?" At the end of the day, the teacher collects all the essays given by her pupils. She takes them to her house, sits and starts marking them. 

While marking the essays, the teacher sees a strange essay written by one of her pupils. That essay made her very emotional. Her husband comes and sits beside her and saw her crying. The husband asked her wife, "What happened?"

She answered "Read this. It is one of my pupil's essays."

"Oh God, Make me a Television.  I want to live like the TV in my house. 

In my house, the TV is very valuable. All of my family members sit around it. They are very interested in it.  When the TV is talking, my parents listen to it very happily.

They don’t shout at the TV. They don’t quarrel with the TV.  They don’t slap at the TV. So I want to become a TV. 

The TV is the center of attraction in my house.  I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives from my parents. Even when it is not working, the TV has a lot of value. 

When my dad and mom come home, immediately they sit in front of the TV, switch on it and spend hours.  The TV is stealing the time of my dad and my mom.  If I become a TV, then they will spend their time with me.

While watching the TV, my parents laugh a lot and they smile many times. But I want my parents should laugh and smile with me also.  So please make me into a TV. 

And last but not least, if I become a TV, surely I can make my parents happy and entertain them. Lord I don't ask you anything. I just want to live like a TV. Please make me into a TV.

The husband completed reading the essay.  He said "My God, poor kid. He feels loneliness. He did not receive enough love and care from his parents. His parents are horrible." 

The eyes of the primary School teacher filled with tears. She looked at her husband and said, "Our son wrote this essay."

basket of eggs

A boy was cycling with a basket of eggs on it.

He hit a stone and fell down along with the cycle.

The eggs also fell down and broke. A crowd gathered around the boy.

As usual free advice started flowing from the on lookers “Couldn’t you be more careful?”

“What is this, you are cycling , casually without attention?”

An old man approached the crowd , saw what had happened and said “Poor fellow this boy has to answer the Owner of the shop.

Ok I will help him , as much as I can”... saying this handed over Rs10/- to the boy. And also said “These onlookers are good people, they will not only give advice, they will help you by giving money also, accept their help”.

The onlookers observing the sayings of the old man and his actions, gave money to the boy.

The boy was very happy, since the money collected was more than the value of the eggs broken.

One of the onlooker asked the boy “young man if that old man was not around, 
 I do not know what difficulties you would have faced with your owner”

The boy smiled and replied “Sir ,that old man is the owner of the shop,
where I work and he is GUJARATI.
