Subject : Avoiding Burnout
Dear Jignesh:
In some ways it was a typical breakfast meeting. The waitress was pleasant, the eggs were average, and the restaurant was full of busy people. We shared a cup of black, coffee-like substance, and the first few times my client took a sip he managed to spill quite a bit of it. His trembling hand was just one of the symptoms of his burnout. That’s why we were meeting. He wanted to know if I could help him.
I picked up a fork and explained that as long as I used it for eating, the fork would last indefinitely. However, if I began to use it to drive nails or dig trenches, it would soon break. The key was to use it for what it was designed to do.
The look in his eyes told me he got it, but I still went on to say that people are like the fork. When they do what they are not designed to do, they eventually break.
Sure enough, his MAPP showed that he was designed to work on projects where there was a definite goal. He derived immense satisfaction from reaching goals. He also needed to work by himself about half the time. He was a scientist and enjoyed lab time, doing calculations, and interpreting test results.
What his job required on a day-to-day basis was another story. His primary task was to supervise a dozen people and maintain operations. No goals. No projects. No time alone. Consequently, his job was sucking the life out of him.
Much credit for his recovery goes to his boss who was willing to change the job content to fit the design of a valuable employee.
So how do you know if you, a loved one, or someone who reports to you is suffering from burnout? Here are the early warning signs.
1. chronic fatigue - exhaustion, tiredness, a sense of being physically run down
2. anger at those making demands
3. self-criticism for putting up with the demands
4. cynicism, negativity, and irritability
5. a sense of being besieged
6. exploding easily at seemingly inconsequential things
7. frequent headaches and gastrointestinal disturbances
8. weight loss or gain
9. sleeplessness and depression
10. shortness of breath
11. suspiciousness
12. feelings of helplessness
13. increased degree of risk taking
Take a close look at what is said about you in your MAPP, and what you are
naturally motivated toward with regard to your work. Sometimes a simple
change at work can help you avoid many (if not all) of the early warning
signs of Burnout.
Perhaps, you may know someone who may have some of the early warning signs
and could benefit from the MAPP. Here’s a quick link to invite them:

What is eFunda?
eFunda stands for engineering fundamentals. Its mission is to create an online destination for the engineering community, where working professionals can quickly find a variety of information to aid in the solution of complex design problems. Almost all engineers would agree that most of the knowledge needed for our daily jobs is college level material. Yet we often find ourselves looking for information that we vaguely remember or just simply forgot. The sought information could be as simple as a beam-bending formula, or as specific as the thermal conductivity of Aluminum Alloy 6061. Our reference books are not always available when we need them; when we do have our books, we can lose precious time searching for obscure information. We have felt the need for a convenient Internet resource where common engineering questions could be answered quickly and efficiently. Since no such resource currently exists, we have resolved to build one.
We hope that you find our site useful, and we are interested in your suggestions for improvement. Please don't hesitate to contact us to tell us what you want to see. Your interest is our interest. If you like our site please tell your friends and coworkers.
I am the only one, but still I am one; I can not do everything, but still I can do something; and because I can not do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Ellison speech, Yale 2000
This is the speech that Larry Ellison (Oracle CEO) gave at Yale University to the graduating class of 2000 last month and he was ushered off the Stage because of it:
"Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even thirty years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude. In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers. You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am college dropout, and you are not. Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet-for now anyway-is a college dropout, and you are not. Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not. And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No.9 on the list and moving up fast, is college dropout, and you, yet again, are not. Hmm ... you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your Egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word "therapy." All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy. You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to #10 or #11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer. Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, Are wondering, "Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all? Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 9 anymore. You have a built-in cap,and I'm not referring to the mortarboards on your heads. Hmm ... you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this could be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former Classmates who dropped out two years ago. Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up. For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down..."

Dear Jignesh:
Did you know that Babe Ruth was once a pitcher? At one point he made the deliberate decision to stop pitching so he could focus on batting. He took a lot of heat for his decision because he was a GOOD pitcher. He stuck with his decision though because he knew he had the motivation to be a GREAT batter.
Often the difference between being good and being great is making adjustments that allow you to spend more of your time developing your greatest strengths.
Ever had an annual performance review where the first part was about the wonderful things you did that year, but then the focus quickly shifted to a discussion about shoring up your weaknesses? It’s an all-too-common scenario. And it’s probably a waste of time.
The "fix your weaknesses" school believes that with enough discipline, determination and training, anyone can do anything. Unfortunately, it confuses weaknesses and limitations. Weaknesses reflect a lack of skill (how to do something) or knowledge (what you know). Weaknesses can be overcome by education, training, experience and practice. On the other hand, limitations reflect a lack of motivation (what you do well naturally). These really can’t be overcome, because new motivations can’t be acquired. In fact, if a person has low motivation in a particular area, spelling for example, there is very little likelihood that he or she will ever be a great speller. The best they will be is adequate. Who wants to be adequate?
It’s a much better idea to build on your strengths.
If you want to move up from being good to being great, know what your talents and motivations are, and build on them. Why? Because you will develop what you do best and enjoy most. These are your strengths, and they are yours for life. You can build on them, and they won't let you down. Think about it: what would your life be like if you got paid to do what you do best and truly enjoy? Awesome, isn’t it?
Next time we will talk about achieving excellence,
Henry

The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class.
She called on him and said, "Johnny! What are 4, 2, 28 and 44?"
Little Johnny quickly replied, "NBC, CBS, HBO, and the Cartoon Network!"
When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for preschool, I noticed an older woman hugging him as he left the house.
"Is that your grandmother?" I asked.
"Yes, 'Chris said. "She's come to visit us for Christmas."
"How nice," I said. "Where does she live?"
"At the airport," Chris replied.
Whenever we want her, we just go out there and get her."
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me, and she was always correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"
When the mother returned from the grocery store, her small son pulled out the box of animal crackers he had begged for, then he spread the animal-shaped crackers all over the kitchen counter. "What are you doing?" his Mom asked. "The box says you can't eat them if the seal is broken," the boy explained. "I'm looking for the seal."
This little grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning. He had made her coffee. She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her life. When she got to the bottom, there were three of those little green army men and she asked him why they were they and he said on TV they say, 'The best part of waking up is oldiers in your cup!'"
A three-year-old boy went with his dad to see a new litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother, "There were two boy kittens and two girl kittens."
"How did you know that?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied.
"I think it's printed on the bottom."
THE ELDERLY: While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower.
She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!"
I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy."
"I know," she replied, "but what is growing in your butt?"
Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Mrs.Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the teacher said, "Bobby, when I was a child, I was told that if I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that."
Bobby looked up and replied, "Well, Mrs. Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."

Once upon a time there lived a king. The king had a beautiful daughter, the princess!But there was a problem.
Everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what; metal,wood, plastic- anything she touched would melt. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her.
The king despaired. What could he do to help his daughter. He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." The king was overjoyed.
The next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king's wealth. Three young princes took up the challenge.
The first prince brought a very hard alloy of titanium. But alas, once the princess touched it, it melted. The prince went away sadly. The second prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that diamond is the hardest substance in the world and surely, it would not melt. But alas, once the princess touched it, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed.
The third prince approached. He told the princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there." The princess did as she was told, though she turned red. She felt something hard. She held it in her hand. And it did not melt!!! The king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.
But The Question Is : What was the object in the prince's pockets?

They were Britannia Little Hearts of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

Dear Banta
Vahe Guru !
I am in a well here and hoping you are in the same well there. I'mwriting this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in thenewspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved20 miles. I wont be able to send the address as the last Sardar whostayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so theywould not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will beable to bring our earlier address plate here, so that our address willremain same too.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situatedright above the commode. I'm not sure it works. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since. The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be alittle too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket. Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery. Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.
Your uncle, Jetinder fell in a nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days. Your best friend, Balwinder, is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father's last wishes. His father had wished to be buried at sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father.
There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.
P.S: Beta, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

Dear Jignesh:
Every now and then you encounter someone who demonstrates excellence on the job. It might be an exceptional waitress who anticipates your every need. Or a manager who generates both high performance and loyalty on his teams. It could be a teacher with a knack for unlocking the desire to learn in each student.
Excellence, true excellence, is something we prize but seldom see. It’s a joy to encounter someone who is truly excellent at what they do. Why is that so rare? More importantly, how can you become known as a man or woman who consistently demonstrates excellence?
One comment that is heard time and again about those who demonstrate excellence is, "He/she is a natural at it." They don’t seem to struggle to be excellent; it just flows. That is always a sign of motivation, and therein lies the first key: Motivation is required for excellence.
Motivation is what we like to do naturally. It’s like being right or left-handed. We don’t even think about it. We just write. The same is true for people known for excellence. They have a group of motivations that work in concert to help them perform at a higher level. Like all motivations, these were inborn and are as much a part of them as being blue-eyed or tall.
But there is a second key: Motivation can be developed. People who demonstrate excellence have identified their motivations and worked hard to develop them. They have added knowledge, skill, experience and practice to consistently produce at the highest levels.
By the way, there is a flip side to these two keys, and it is this: The best we can be with low motivation is adequate. No matter how hard we work and desire it, in the long run we will never be excellent at something without high levels of motivation in that area. In other words, if we toil in areas where we have low motivation, we resign ourselves to mediocrity.
Who wants to be mediocre? Who wants to be known as "adequate?" Wouldn’t you rather have a shot at excellence? The first step to unlocking your excellence is to know what you do well naturally.What are your motivations?

Tips
Source unknown
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bell or Cannon ball fruit, mashed to a pulp and mixed with water and sugar is a refreshing drink and prevents summer digestive disorders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try to mix a number of vegetables together in cooking—a combination of vegetables is a good source of nutrients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cook with minimum water and do not discard water left over after cooking, use it in soups and gravies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In cooking vegetables, avoid use of baking soda as this also causes loss of nutrients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avoid peeling of vegetables in water for too long time as the nutrient value gets drained away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add 50 grams of methi seeds to every kilo of wheat, while giving for grinding. Chappatis made out of this flour are easily digested and also cooling for the stomach.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before cooking, wash vegetables thoroughly in running water two or three times to remove any pesticides or insects.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use vegetables in their raw form, like in salads and raitas, as then the vegetables will have their nutritional value in full. Also, use sprouts whenever possible for more nutrition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Curdled milk used in rice, dal, curry and dough, instead of water, adds to the taste and nutrition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After peeling pomegranates, don't throw away the outer skin. Dry and powder it. A teaspoon of the powder taken with water early in the morning not only purifies the blood, but also serves as a good deworming agent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best way cook is steam-cooking, pressure cooking or cooking with just enough water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soak a handful of tulsi leaves in hot water. When the water cools, strain and add lemon juice and honey. This is very cooling, especially for children who play outside in the sun all day in summer and prevents heat exhaustion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sev or fried papdi used in chaats can be replaced with cornflakes, which are healthier. It tastes delicious and crunches as nicely.

GEETA SAAR
kyon wyarth tension lete ho,
kisse wyarth darte ho kaun tumhein nikal sakta hai.
Resource na nikala ja sakta hai na nikal sakta hai...
Incentive nahin mila, bura hua
salary cut ho rahi hai, bura ho raha hai
Retrenchment hoga, wo bhi bura hi hoga...
tum pichla review na hoone ka paschataap na karo
tum agle review na hone ki chinta na karo
recession chal raha hai...
tumhari pocket se kya gaya jo tum rote ho
tum company ke liye kya project laye the jo tumne kho diya
tumne aisa kaun sa product banaya tha jo scrap ho gaya...
tum koi experience le kar nahin aaye the
jo experience liya company se liya
jo code kiya company ko diya
degree le kar aaye, experience lekar chale...
jo project/product aaj tumhara hai, kal kisi aur ka tha parsoon kisi aur ka hoga
tum isse apna samajh kar magan ho rahe ho
bas yahi khushi tumhari tension ka karran hai...
POLICY CHANGE company ka rule hai
jise tum policy Change kehte ho wahi to trick hai...
ek pal mein tum millionare ho jaate ho
doosre hi pal mein tum stipend par aa jate ho...
review, increment etc. etc. man se hata do vichar se mita do
phir company tumhari hai, tum company ke ho...
Na yeh Increments tumhare liye hain, na tum iske kabil ho
Yeh chamchon ke liye bana hai aur unhin ko milega...
parantu job secure hai, phir tumhein tension kyon hai
tum apne aap ko Company ko arpit karo
yahin sabse Golden Rule hai...
Jo is Golden Rule ko janta hai
wo review, incentive,recession se sarvada muqt hai.

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you. Since the 14th of February(Sunday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 13th of February at 1500 hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough, to be taken care of all your expense account. I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else.

"You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: 'Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl' "
The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!"

Subject : Quick Tips to Improve Your Resume
Dear Jignesh:
Here are five quick tips to help you write a resume that gets noticed.
1) Remove sentences that begin "Responsibilities included…" That works for a job description, but not a resume. Instead, list accomplishments. People who read resumes want to know what you’ve done.
2) When writing accomplishments, quantify them whenever possible. For example, "Increased sales 15%.""…resulting in savings of $40,000.""…doubling the number of customers."
3) If you’ve had at least one job in your chosen field after graduation, list your education after your work experience.
4) Tailor your resume to fit the job you want. If you are responding to an ad, and you have six of the eight key requirements, be sure your resume says so. Don’t make the reader infer how competent you are. Companies generally spend less than one minute reading your resume during the first screening.
5) Make sure there are no typos or improper uses of words. One of the top traits that hiring managers want is excellent communication skills. Since spell checkers don’t catch everything, be sure to have someone else proofread your resume.
If you want to improve the odds that you’ll land a job you’ll really love, make sure your resume reflects your strongest motivations and talents. Your MAPP assessment can be an enormous help. Not only does MAPP identify what truly motivates you, it gives you words to help you explain it. Weave those words into your resume so that it accurately represents your potential.
For example, MAPP may show that you are "Methodical and thorough in routine procedures." Use those words, link them to a specific accomplishment and you’ve just strengthened your resume. Try it with all of the traits where you score your highest levels of motivation. These phrases will stand out to hiring managers who value these traits.
