One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but more from God.

What are the common mistakes newcomers commit and how can they be avoided?

1. Coming to a new country expecting to start from where you let off at your home country or even higher using that experience. This can be avoided by setting realistic expectations, market study and networking with industry professionals before coming here.

2. Creating ethnic silos.- If we are to move around in broods, the best place is our our country. It is important to embrace the new culture, however challenging that might seem. Celebrate local festivals, learn the language and keep your beliefs to your home and heart (hearth?). This is often tough when one is from a country steeped in history a defined religious culture. Also, this does not mean giving up ones own cultural roots or faith. It just means respect and embrace what your new country offers you.

3. Expecting their credentials from the home country to be valued- This is a tricky one, and is easily answered by asking oneself the question ' Would I value something I know nothing about, over something that I have tried and tested for years?' The answer is no. No employer has it as his mission to discount your credentials. He just doesn't understand what value it could bring to the table ! Help him by getting your credentials assessed by a local body or prove your mettle by undertaking local qualifying exams.

4. Coming unprepared and taking up un-related survival jobs too soon- This could be the toughest. But do come prepared and choose your first job with care. Working in a call center for six months and hoping to use that as experience to qualify for a university instructor isn't a good idea. Do try to volunteer or take on jobs even if it is at a lower level in your chosen space of work. You will gain precious 'relevant experience'

5. Expecting others to do your job- This is very common.. NO agency, friend , connection or 'relative' you may have in your chosen country can do your work for you. Go out there, roll up your sleeves and ensure you do your share of the work. You will find others a lot more supportive then. Self help is the best help. Avoid asking people to get you a job or provide you advice UNLESS you have done enough research on your own and can prove it. No- one owes you anything. It is tough, but with focus and determination it all falls in place sooner than later.

6. Not utilize available support- This is an expensive mistake. Do your research and you will find a lot of support offered by government funded organizations at little or no cost. Do remember they will work with you and not for you. It also pays to know services offered to new comers and within what time frame.

7.Getting into a negative pattern -This is a trap and one that's easy to fall into , it is important to find time with the family and find time to pursue simple pleasures. It could just be walk in the neighborhood or sipping coffee listening to bird song. It is therapeutic and one would need the positivity to meet the challenges of relocation. People need to see you as positive and energetic to want to associate with you personally or professionally.

8. Losing focus and applying for various jobs- This can be confusing.Being focused yet being aware of transferable skills that can work in related disciplines is important.

9.Being overly suspicious or trusting- It pays to let relationships grow and take root over some time. Always helps being observant and being a good listener. Rash decisions and misplaced trust can be difficult to reverse

10. Thinking too much about the past or the future- Yes, it is tough to sever the good times gone by.. but do remember you came here in the hope for something better. Let go. Similarly,Rome wasn't built in a day and tomorrow never comes. Missing the past and worrying about the future, takes away from the present.

Hi all,

A very Happy New Year - 2013 to everyone.

Whenever u've time pls watch this docu-movie... it's one film not to be missed, if u've till now.



We only have 10-years to STOP this from happening.
And the film was released in 2009 !


The documentary has some really breath taking clips of the Earth, with its variety of landscapes, topography, dwellings and cities. Having aerial footage from 54 countries, "HOME" is a depiction of how the Earth's problems are all interlinked. It commences with the origins of life on Earth - then explains the balance in the ecosystem and how the engine of life here is based on "linkage" – every life form is linked to the other. Actress Glenn Close narrates the interdependence of flora and fauna and their delicate balance, which has been disturbed by mankind and now has its serious consequences.

Cities like Dubai, Los Angeles and Las Vegas are shown to be completely dependent on these non-renewable energy sources & material; and thus they might just be unsustainable in the long run. While reminding us that 1/6th of the Earth's population still lives without basic amenities!

And when we see how much we’ve damaged the environment, we might be ashamed and worried. The film really leaves a deep impression on the mind - so deep that you’ll probably be haunted through the rest of the day.

FILM-STATS:
Runtime: 120 min (approx)
Video & Picture Quality: Stunning, 1080p Full-HD
Sound Mix: Dolby Digital / DTS
Availability: Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU

As an Imdb comment state: "Its also totally free - so there's no reason not to watch it." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014762/ So, go see it... NOW.

The Other Side Of The River

A man went out for a walk. He came to a river and saw a woman on the opposite bank. "Yoo-hoo," he shouted, "how can I get to the other side?"

The woman looked up the river - then down the river - then shouted back, "You're already on the other side."

Life and truth is often a matter of "perspective" and viewpoint. The above snippet is short and somewhat funny but extremely profound. Do you realize how many people are trying to get to the very side that you already are on while you are trying to get somewhere else?

-Do you know how many people wish they had a good husband or wife like you do?
-Do you realize how many couples wish they could have children like you do?
-Do you know how many suffering people wish they had a pain free body like you do?
-Do you know how many people wish they just had enough money to pay their basic bills like you do?
-Do you realize how many people wish they could get to the weight that you are already at?
-Do you realize how many people wish they had a job like you do?
-Do you realize how many people wish they could see like you can? OR,
...could hear like you can?
...could walk like you can?


We wish for many things... We have a lot of dreams and visions. But let's STOP and think for a while... isn't it all about "Perspective"? Wouldn't I then realize that with so many of the rivers of life, I'm already on the "other" side? ...So are you !
