Mujhse , mat pooch ki kyun aankh jhukali maine


Mujhse , mat pooch ki kyun aankh jhukali maine,teri

tasveer thi jo tujhse chupa li maine,

jis pe likha tha ki tu mere muqaddar mein nahi,

apne maathe ki woh tehreer mita li meine,

sabko yahaan sachha pyaar kahaan milta hai,

teri chaahat mein to umr bita li maine,

mujhko jaane kahaan ehsaas mere le jaayein,

waqt ke haathon se ek nazm utha li meine,

ghere rehti hai mujhe ek anokhi khushbu,

teri yaadon se har ek saans saja li maine,

jiske sheron ko woh sunke bahut roya tha,

bas wohi ek ghazal sabse chupali maine.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS




The Difference between FOCUSING on PROBLEMS and FOCUSING on SOLUTIONS

Its simply amazing how sometimes our minds can come up with such incredible solutions. I couldn't help but thank Almighty Allah Subhana Wa Taala for blessing humans with such wisdom when the need arises. of course not all are so blessed to recieve this wisdom. may allah bless us with such wisdom to solve all our problems with simple solutions. ameen

Read on .... you will be definitely amazed to read these figments from our history . Must be true !


Case # 1 :

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens would not work at zero gravity (ink will not flow down to the writing surface).

Solution # 1 : To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees

Solution # 2 : And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.


Case # 2 :

One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty.Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly Line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty.Management asked its engineers to solve the problem.


Solution # 1 : Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.


Solution # 2 : But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution.He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.


Moral· Always look for simple solutions.· Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems.· Always focus on solutions & not on problems.


Hmm !!! Great ! Indeed !

THE PEBBLE STORY


Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter.


He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.


They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.

Now, imagine you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?


Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:


The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking. The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.
.
.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do?
.
.
.
.
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think in that direction.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ! How I wish we all could be so clever !!!

ATTITUDE



A little boy went into drug store, reached for a soda carton and ask him for a Phone Call

Shop-owner replied Sweety this is no a STD, but you can do one call

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now." replied boy.The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of North-Palm beach, Florida."
Again the woman answered in the negative.
With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver.
The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy and said," Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my performance with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"
