Tax Tips for Career Advancement

Do you want to make more money? Great! So does your silent partner. I'm talking about the partner who takes about a third of the money you make. The government realizes you can produce more tax revenue for them by advancing in your career. Therefore a number of regulations have been created that let you save money on your taxes when you invest in making more money for yourself and the government.

According to IRS publication 529, you can deduct certain expenses you have in looking for a new job in your present occupation, even if you do not end up getting a new job. However, you cannot deduct these expenses if:

1. You are looking for a job in a new occupation,
2. There was a substantial break between the ending of your last job and your looking for a new one, or
3. You are looking for a job for the first time.

The following are examples of job search expenses that can be deducted:

Employment and outplacement agency fees. You can deduct employment and outplacement agency fees you pay in looking for a new job in your present occupation.

Resume. You can deduct amounts you spend for typing, printing, and mailing copies of a resume to prospective employers if your are looking for a new job in your present occupation.

Travel and transportation expenses. If you travel to an area and, while there, you look for a new job in your present occupation, you may be able to deduct travel expenses to and from the area. You can deduct the travel expenses if the trip is primarily to look for a new job. The amount of time you spend on personal activity compared to the amount of time you spend in looking for work is important in determining whether the trip is primarily personal or is primarily to look for a new job.

Even if you cannot deduct the travel expenses to and from an area, you can deduct the expenses of looking for a new job in your present occupation while in the area.

If you use it to find a job in your present occupation, you can deduct the cost of resume posting services such as PutMyResumeOnline. With PutMyResumeOnline, you can enter your resume once and it is posted instantly on over 90 job sites including Monster, HotJobs, CareerBuilder, etc. Instead of spending the time researching lots of job sites (you can't deduct time you spend from your taxes), this is a much more efficient way of reaching lots of recruiters quickly. To find out about PutMyResumeOnline, check out this link:

Deducting Education Expenses

Do you feel you need further education to make more money in your current occupation? The IRS realizes further education often leads to increased income so they have provided regulations that let you save money when investing in education for yourself.

Subscriptions to magazines and journals related to your profession are also tax deductable since these can also help you make more money by having a better understanding of your business. We have found a site that lets you search for business and professional magazines. Check it out here:

To find out about the specific regulations for deducting education and other career-related expenses, take a look at IRS Publication #529. Follow the link below to view the guidelines in PDF format:

Tax preparation services like H&R Block and Jackson-Hewitt can also advise you on deducting career advancement expenses from your taxes. Or you may wish to check out tax software like TurboTax which uses a computerized approach to help you discover expenses that can be deducted. To find out about TurboTax, check out this link:

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question.

The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!"

The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much."

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."

Finding Satisfying Work

From : MAPP Newsletter
Sent : Thursday, March 4, 2004 10:02 AM
To : jjshah84@hotmail.com
Subject : Finding Satisfying Work

Inbox


Dear Jignesh:

Do you long for meaningful work?
Are you bored?
Are you feeling drained?
Are you restless and don’t know why?
Do you feel like you are just putting in your time at work?

The solution is Alignment, and there are three steps:

1. Discover what you are designed to do.
2. Do it.
3. Minimize everything else.

The idea is to align your work with your natural motivations and talents. Imagine what it would be like to do what you enjoy and are good at, in a compelling environment, working with interesting subject matter, and relating to others in a comfortable way. Can you picture what life would be like? Do you get a sense of how productive and energized you would be?

Too good to be true? No. But it does not happen overnight. Let’s take a look at the steps involved.

1. Discover what you are designed to do.

This is what MAPP helps you do. It pinpoints your motivations and their corresponding talents. This is good news, because most people can not articulate what it is they are designed to do.

2. Do it.

It’s all about Alignment. Align your work with your MAPP. Begin to make adjustments that will allow you to do what you are designed to do. Some changes will be incremental, and some may be radical. The idea is to spend more of your time using your strengths. That is where your performance and satisfaction both peak.

The natural place to begin is with your job. Once you are familiar with your MAPP ask yourself:

What have you learned about why you do, or don't do, certain things at work?
Which of your responsibilities draw upon your most motivated talents?
Which of your highest motivations are rarely used?
Which of your responsibilities call upon your lesser talents? What can you do about this?
How does your job fit your preferred way of relating to others?
Are the circumstances that motivate you present?
Given your unique design, is there a position in your company that is a better fit than your current one?
If so, what do you need to do to prepare for it? If you are feeling drained or burned out, which areas are out of alignment?
If you feel you are in the wrong company or profession, what can you do about it?

Once you have resolved the questions above, it is time to share your motivations and talents with your boss. Include some examples or stories to illustrate them.

This is one of the most critical career moves you can make. That's because if you and your boss talk regularly about your MAPP, you greatly increase the likelihood that:

He or she will have realistic expectations of you. You will get assignments that play to your strengths. Together you will decide how to handle tasks that call on your minor talents. Identify areas where training/experience/mentoring will be most helpful. You will be able to spot opportunities and positions that are a good fit for you.

3. Minimize everything else

You are designed to do something, but not everything. A fork is designed to help us eat, and we do not expect it to be any good at driving nails. The same is true for you. You are designed to do something, but not everything. Let yourself off the hook a little. Do not spend too much time working on areas of low talent.

What if you must work in areas of low talent? You have some options. First, you can admit that you will never win the Nobel Prize in that area. Have honest expectations of your performance. Two, see if you can create some type of system to help you. For instance, a man with low talent for time management found that using a Palm Pilot was very helpful. Third, partner with someone who has high talent in that area.

This does not mean that anything that falls outside of your MAPP can beshirked. We all have to do things we do not enjoy from time to time.We have responsibilities and duties that must be honored.

What it does mean is that we need to have realistic expectations ofourselves. The idea that everyone can be a well-rounded person, a Renaissance man or woman, is a myth. There are a few exceptionally gifted people in this world. The wise person knows he or she has limitations.

Know yourself and then let your boss know you. It’s a win/win situation. If you have your Executive MAPP package, now is the time to start looking at it as a lifelong tool. If you still don’t have yours, a professionally bound copy is waiting for you! Log on today at http://www.Assessment.com

Next time we will talk about using your MAPP,

Asthma: Q and A

From:
To:
Subject: Asthma: Q and A

Asthma is a chronic, life-threatening illness that kills more than 5,000 people each year and affects more than 12 million people in the United States. Though it cannot be cured, asthma is a chronic condition that can be controlled. It's important for asthma sufferers to work with their doctors to develop a treatment plan that prevents or relieves symptoms. The alternative is to risk a potentially fatal episode. It's a good idea to carry medical identification such as a medic alert bracelet or wallet card at all times.

Q. What is asthma?
A. Asthma is an upper respiratory condition caused by a tightening of the muscles and swelling of the lining in the small breathing tubes (bronchioles) of the lungs. This tightening, called bronchospasm, causes labored breathing as the airways become narrowed and restrict air flow. Also, the inflamed breathing tubes produce excess mucus, which further restricts breathing.

Q. What causes asthma?
A. Agents that a person is sensitive to usually triggers asthma symptoms. Common triggers include infections such as the common cold and influenza, things a person is allergic to (e.g., pollens, molds, dust, animal dander, certain foods), cold air, tobacco smoke, strenuous exercise, air pollution from industrial and auto emissions, pesticides, chemical fumes, drugs (e.g., aspirin, heart medications), and stress. Roach infestation also has been linked to asthma attacks.

Q. Who is at greatest risk for asthma?
A. Asthma is more common in children than adults, with about 30 percent of children outgrowing this problem before they reach adulthood. Also, asthma seems to run in families. The most important thing to remember is that asthma at any age is a serious health condition that requires a doctor's care.

Q. What are the common symptoms of asthma?
A. Symptoms of an asthma attack may start immediately or take a long time to develop. In turn, symptoms can be severe, moderate, or mild. Typical symptoms of mild to moderate asthma attacks include labored breathing (wheezing), shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, coughing, and spitting up mucus. When an attack happens it's important to take asthma medication and watch your symptoms. If symptoms do not clear up in the time your doctor has told you it should, or your symptoms get worse, call your doctor. In the case of a severe attack, symptoms may include the inability to catch your breath or feeling breathless, or having a hard time talking, bluish or grayish finger nails, tight neck muscles, and/or tight and sucked-in feeling in the chest muscles (between the ribs). If you experience these symptoms of a severe attack, it's important to take asthma medication immediately and seek emergency medical care as soon as possible. Approximately 12 to 15 percent of the general population experience exercise-induced asthma (EIA), a condition in which an increase in air resistance occurs after a few minutes of exercise. Common symptoms of EIA include tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, fatigue, and difficulty recovering after exercise. However, EIA should not be a reason not to exercise since physical activity helps build and maintain lung function. In fact, many professional and Olympic athletes have EIA and with proper medical supervision have excelled in their respective sports.

Q. What do doctors mean by "the second wave"?
A. The second wave is a condition in which the air tubes continue to swell, even without symptoms for some people, after an initial asthma attack has eased. This reaction can last for days or for weeks and make the lungs more sensitive to triggers. A second-wave attack can be more severe and life threatening than the first attack. Medical supervision may be required in order to monitor the condition and avoid a more serious attack.

Q. How is a diagnosis made?
A. If you or a family member has any sign of an asthma attack, it's important that you see your doctor. Your doctor will take a medical history to see if you have another health problem that may mimic asthma, such as allergies or an upper respiratory infection. Other tests that usually are done include a physical exam with lung function tests that measure your "breathing efficiency." Lab tests might include chest X-rays, further pulmonary tests, blood work (e.g., complete blood count), urinalysis, sputum
test, or other evaluations such as allergy tests (if there's an indication of an allergic attack).

Q. How can an asthmatic monitor his or her condition?
A. Outside of symptoms, an asthma sufferer can tell if his or her airways are narrowing before an attack by using a peak flow meter. This hand-held device measures lung efficiency. By blowing into the device, a user can tell if his or her "lung power" is decreasing, thus signaling a potential asthma attack.

Q. What is available to treat asthma?
A. There is no cure, but day-to-day management can help prevent or reduce symptoms. It's important that individuals be under a doctor's care because asthmatic attacks can be life threatening if left untreated. Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatment options include:
1. You can reduce your exposure to agents that trigger asthmatic attacks. This may include allergens or environmental agents such as smoke, solvents, and air pollution.
2. Medications such as cromolyn and nedocromil or corticosteroids are anti-inflammatories and help prevent asthmatic attacks from occurring. These drugs are dispensed through inhalers, pills, or shots. Another class of drugs, bronchodilators, are used to help relax bronchial tubes after an asthma attack has begun, thus making breathing easier. These drugs are available as pills or inhalers or come in liquid form. For severe attacks your doctor may give you an injection of epinephrine
(adrenaline), which provides short-term relief. Your doctor may also teach you how to self-administer epinephrine at home in case of emergency.
3. Self-care practices, such as drinking plenty of water or breathing in warm, moist air, can relieve breathing problems. Regular aerobic exercise such as brisk walking and swimming can help build lung capacity. However, medications may need to be taken before exercising to help open up airways.
4. Allergy shots expose a person to certain allergens in small amounts over a number of years. The person's system becomes less sensitive to certain allergens, thus reducing the chances of an asthmatic attack.
5. Counseling and stress management techniques can help individuals whose asthmatic attacks are triggered or complicated by emotional triggers.Medication's can be prescribed to reduce agitation, anxiety, and unpredictable behavior as well as to improve sleep.

Q. If I have asthma, what's the best way to control it?
A. The American Lung Association recommends three things:
1. See your doctor on a regular basis. Share with him or her any changes in your symptoms, reactions to your medications, and any new triggers that cause symptoms.
2. Take your asthma medications as directed by your doctor. Don't stop taking them, even if you feel well.
3. Stay informed about asthma. Learn about asthma triggers and how you may avoid them. Also, be sure that your family understands what asthma is, what its symptoms are, and how to provide emergency care if you cannot do it yourself.

Questions to Keep in Mind:
* What agents or situations trigger my attacks?
* How can I avoid these triggers?
* What do I need to do when an asthma attack occurs?
* What medications should I carry at all times?
* Are my symptoms caused by certain allergens? What are they?
* If I'm allergic to certain things, should I consider allergy shots?
* What medications will I be taking? How should they be taken? What are the possible side effects? Will this drug affect the other drugs I take? How?
* How do I use a peak flow meter to monitor my condition? What are indication measures of a potential attack?
* How long does each drug take to relieve my symptoms? What should I do if my symptoms don't go away in the expected time?
* I hear that exercise is good for me, yet I have trouble breathing when I work out. What do I need to do in order to make exercise safe? For example, do I need to take medication before I start exercising?
* Where can I get information on how to make my home and environment safer for me (or my family member)?
* What support groups or organizations are available to help me (or the family) cope with asthma? How can I contact them?

This actually happened in an IIM Ahmedabad Interview...
Courtesy Prof. Madhukar Shukla, XLRI Jamshedpur: got this from an IIMB prof:

This is a real episode which happened during the interview rounds of IIM for the class of 2004.

Interviewer said, "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind! "

The candidate thought for a while and said, "My choice is one really difficult question."

" Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!", said the interviewer, "Here is your question: What comes first, Day or Night? "

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that one question. He thought for a while and said, "It's DAY sir!"

"How?", the interviewer asked.

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

He was selected for IIM!

Installing Husband

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the performance of flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running NAGGING 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Desperate

***************************
[REPLY]

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1..0 is an operating system.

Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears 6.2.

Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilty 3.0 and Flowers 7.0.

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Television 6.1. Television 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Loud noises ( WAV files) and does not get deleted.

DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Cheerfulness 2.0.

Good Luck,

Tech Support

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain Aslam Bhatti welcoming you on board LAHORE AIRWAYS. We apologize for the one week delay in taking off because I was in jail for being caught with a fake pilot's licence.

This is flight 321 to Rawalpindi. Landing is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere and if luck is in our favour, we could be landing in Kabul.

LAHORE AIRWAYS has an excellent safety record. In fact our safety standards are so high that even the Kashmiri terrorist who we train, are afraid to fly with us.

There is no smoking in this aircraft. Any smoke you see in the cabin is only is only the early warning system from the engines telling us to slow down. Smoke may additionally be noticed due to our cabin crew members smoking Hashish.

Life jackets are positioned under your seats. Also positioned are free bathing costumes for emergency situation.

In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible for the best view. If, however, we go a little too close do let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot Sher Mohd sometimes flies right through the landmarks.

Kindly be seated, keep your seat in a relaxed position so that it lies in the lap of behind passenger so all can enjoy comfortable journey.

Kindly fasten seat belt. For those of you who cannot find a seat belt, kindly fasten your own belt
to the arm of your seat. And for those of you who cannot find the seats, do not hesitate to get in touch with a flight attendants who have brought some extra chairs from the nearby Government school.

Sorry but I will not be flying with you today because I have to proceed on drug smuggling mission along with my nephew. But please make yourself at home and help yourself to the cockpit.

Thanking for choosing LAHORE AIRWAYS.

HAVE A NICE JOURNEY.

Our Santa Singh was a very rich man.

He had a very big house with all aminities. But, in his bedroom, he had an old BED. So, his wife always told him to buy a new bed, but Santa used to refuse. He said,

"tum koi bhi gal karna, magar naya bed nahi kharidoonga"
(You ask for anything else but not a new bed.)

One day the bed was affected by termite. Even then, Santa did not buy a new one.

After some days, one of its wood broke, but Santa repaired it and used to sleep on it.

Now, Santa's wife lost her patience and asked him,

"You tell me why don't you buy a new bed or I will take divorce with you".


Tell why does Santa don't want to buy New Bed ?

Are You A Leader?

Dear Jignesh:

Want to have some fun? Go to the book section of Amazon.com, enter the keyword "leadership" and see how many hits you get.The last time I did this I got over 12,400 hits. Twelve thousand four hundred! Why is there so much material on this one subject? The law of supply and demand would say it is because people are buying it. But I suspect there are other, more subtle reasons.

One of those reasons is the underlying belief that leadership can be taught. With enough training, anybody can be a leader. The thesis is that leaders are made, not born. Or are they?

The other day a woman told me that she sees definite leadership traits in her son. I asked her how old he was. "Six," she replied. Too young to have been through any leadership training. So are leaders born or made? The answer is both.

The problem is that we often get fuzzy about what can and cannot be taught, and at the heart of the fuzziness is the difference between talent and skill.

Talent is what we do well naturally. It is our bent. Talents are inborn, and can be discovered and developed. They cannot be taught. However, skills can. Skills are simply how to do something. They are learned and transferable. When we confuse talent and skill, we set ourselves up for disappointing expectations from training.

What does this have to do with developing leaders? Everything. For example, the ability to create vision and strategy is a key leadership trait. Some people have a talent for it. They do it naturally and continually. Others don’t. Both can learn some skills that will help them do it better. The difference is that the one with the corresponding talent can be excellent at it, while the other one can be adequate at best. Talent is required for excellence. Who wants more "adequate" leaders?

Here’s the bottom line for developing your leadership potential: become the leader you are designed to be. Discover your natural motivational talents, and build on them. Volunteer for assignments and training that complement your natural giftedness. Get on the track to excellence by aligning your development with your talents.

There are all types of leaders. Some rouse and inspire. Some organize. Some are strategic, and some tactical. Some spot opportunities, and some protect against disaster. All are needed in this world of ours.

What’s the best type of leader to be? The type you were designed to be.

Thought 1:
When we are born, our mother's get the compliments and the flowers.
When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity.
When we die, our widows get the life insurance.
What do women want to be liberated from?

Thought 2:
The average man's life consists of -
Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going;
Forty years of having his wife ask the same question;
And at the end, the mourners wondering too.

Thought 3:
A Man was! walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind: u take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you." The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished. He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted: "Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die." The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him. "! Where are you?" the man asked. "Who are you?" "I am your guardian angel," the voice answered. "Oh, yeah?" the man asked. "And where the hell were you when I got married?"

To keep biscuits and cookies fresh and crisp, put two cubes of sugar in the
same jar. The cubes will absorb all the moisture.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can preserve eggs for a longer time: Wash the eggs and put them slowly
in a container filled with lime water or mustard oil. The eggs won't spoil
if they are stored in this way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do not throw away the heads of shrimps or Bombay ducks. Instead roast them
and grind together with some salt green chilies, coriander leaves and
garlic. It stays fresh in fridge also for a week.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want your bananas to stay fresh for a longer period, hang them in
your kitchen and take only the required ones from the bunch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To preserve fruits or vegetables containing iron rub a little salt on their
exposed surfaces. This will also prevent them from turning brown.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To keep old potatoes fresh, add a half tablespoonful of salt and sugar while
boiling. This will help peel them easily of its skin and it will also smell
good.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wrap paneer in blotting paper when storing it in the refrigerator. This will
keep it fresh for a long time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freeze different fruit juices in ice trays. Put these cubes into glasses of
juice as you serve them. For instance, put orange juice cubes in lime juice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When brinjals are available cheaper, buy and cut them up into slices and dry
them in the hot sun. Later you can prepare vatha kolambu (tamarind sambar
without dal), which will be tastier.

=================================================



Your characteristics if you are:

Dog:
A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

Mouse:
Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder, people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-togethers. However, you are sensitive, which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

Lion:
Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs! Well, well... hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.

Cat:
An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy,with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool, when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

Turtle:
You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people.You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

Dove:
You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love.

Panther:
You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

Monkey:
Very impatient and hyper! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are.

The Relationship Between Motivation and Talent

Subject : The Relationship Between Motivation and Talent

Dear Jignesh:

Hydrogen and oxygen are distinctly different elements, but sometimes they combine to form water. Something similar is true for motivation and talent.

Motivation is what we LIKE to do naturally. Talent is what we DO well naturally. They can exist independently, but when they combine, they create something special. They create motivated talents.

People often are naturally good at something (talented), but it just doesn’t turn them on. For example, Heather is good with numbers, but she doesn’t go out of her way to find tasks callingfor that talent. Most people have such talents. But then there are those talents that we really enjoy using. These are the motivated talents, and this is where the magic is.

We use motivated talents every chance we get. Most of the time we don’t even think about it. For example, Larry has a motivated talent for conversation, and he naturally engages both friends andstrangers in dialog. He doesn’t consciously determine to do so; it just happens. It’s natural and unforced. He enjoys it, and he’s good at it. That’s the hallmark of a motivated talent.

Motivated talents tend to be irrepressible. They find expression. In fact, if you’ve ever tried to stifle a motivated talent (either yours or someone else’s) it probably felt like you were tryingto hold two dozen ping pong balls under water at the same time. Motivated talents pop out, even if no one else is asking for them. And doesn’t that make sense? After all, it’s what we do wellAND enjoy.

Well then, wouldn’t the ideal job be one where you can use your motivated talents daily and get paid for it? Absolutely! But more on that later.

What are your natural motivations? Shouldn’t your boss know? You can let him/her know by giving them a copy of you own MAPP Careeror Personal Appraisal. Logon to our member Center to see which appraisal is right for you!

My dear FAIR & LOVELY (Ek tukda chand ka),

You are my TVS SCOOTY (first love) & also my AIWA (pure passion). I always BPL (Believe in the best) & you are SANSUI (better than the best). You are McDOWELL'S (Mera No. 1) love. I believe in FRESHIYA (gorepan se jyada, khoobsurti ka vaada) & you are most beautiful in this world.

I think of you day & night when you give one & only smile. You are DOMINO'S PIZZA (delivering million smiles a day) for me. This is COLGATE GEL ENERGY FRESH (seriously fresh) feeling for me... I would like you to be my life-partner.

I think you are worried about your father who is KAWASAKI BAJAJ (the unshakeable) & also thinking of my father who is CEAT (born tough) but don't worry, I'm also FORD ICON (the Josh machine) & rest of our family members are KELVINATOR (the coolest one). If they say no, we will run away, marry & PHILIPS (let's make things better). For them, it would be MIRINDA (zor ka jhatka, dheere se lage) & our thinking will be COCA-COLA (jo chaho ho jaaye, Coca-Cola enjoy).

Understanding Engineers - Take One

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."
The second engineer nodded approvingly, 'Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"
The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper.
Let's have a word with him."
"Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group was silent for a moment.
The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body.
One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."
Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections. "
The last one said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both." Both?""Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."

An engineer was crossing a road one-day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."
The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."
Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

---------HeartHealth


The pure heart is a perfect listener; it is totally open and receptive and can feel the world of another through its capacity of empathy and compassion. The mind on the other hand loves mostly to listen to itself. It is usually so obsessed with itself it cannot get out of its own way. The heart on the other hand can listen so deeply that it actually can penetrate into the inner world of the speaker and merge temporarily with or become one with that person. The heart has an ability to listen past the word level to the being level. The heart listens to the meaning behind the words and thus avoids much of the confusion that is inherent in normal levels of semantic dialogue.

Wherever you find a poverty of communication you will find a poverty of love, and wherever you find a poverty of love you will find a poverty of deep listening.

COFFEE :WHAT U KNOW???

In 1950, William Rosenberg founded Dunkin' Donuts.

Dunkin donuts has 5300 shops in 31countries.

"Coffee" comes from the Latin form of the genus Coffea, a member of the Rubiaceae family that includes more than 500 genera and 6,000 species of tropical trees and shrubs.

Coffee beans are not beans, but the pits of a fruit that resemble cherries.

Approximately 2,000 berries are needed to make one pound of coffee.

There are about 25 major species within coffee, but the typical coffee drinker is likely to be familiar with two; Arabica and Robusta. Arabica represents approximately 70 percent of the world's coffee production.

An Arabica coffee plant takes about five years to mature and produce its first crop.

Coffee cherries start as green in early stage of growth, turn yellow, red, then dark crimson when they are finally ripe.

Coffee plants bloom with white blossoms, with a sweet jasmine scent.

Species of coffee trees can grow as tall as 32 feet with leaves ranging in color from purple to yellow. The green coffee leaf is the predominant color.

Coffee beans are roasted at 400°F.

When roasted, a coffee bean doubles in size, and the carmelization of the sugar turns its color from green to brown.

The longer a coffee is roasted, the more caffeine burns off during the process, therefore dark roasted coffees actually have less caffeine than medium roasts.

Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. to produce coffee.

Coffee is the second most valuable traded commodity, second only to oil
