What the world is UP
What the world is UP TO ???? Lovers of the English language might enjoy this. It is yet another example of why people learning English have trouble with the language. Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language. (But then, that's probably true of many languages.) There is a two-letter word in English that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends and we use ! it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is choked UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.We seem to be pretty mixed UPabout UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now........ my time is UP, so time to shut UP! Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U P Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book. Now, I'll shut UP.

For our own good!
1. First, let us stop being sentimentally feared about our own country's economy.
2. Let us stop spreading negatives among all of us & creating fearness in public by talking about recession, job cuts, etc.
3. Stop comparing our country with any other countries (India is a unique & strong country with more than 107 crore people & having its own potentials & capabilities in market economy).
4. Start consuming more & more goods manufactured in India rather than using imported products (This will help in developing our own industries & products leading to further better GDP).
5. India need not to depend on any other countries for selling its products, even if all of us start consuming our own manufactured goods it is more enough to push-up our GDP ( Just think of population/consumers in India).
6. All these days we are talking about job cuts & bankruptcies only with few foreign companies which have invested in India & none of the Indian companies have done such things so far.
7. Let us stop accumulating our own money for no use & spend as much as possible on developments & on all Indian goods.
8. Let us pledge, to give food for every human being & maintain unity among all of us.
9. Let us follow the principle of equal respect & equal share to every Indian (Starting from a small farmer in our villages to top richest people & politicians) ("Politicians and CEO/COO/MD's of a company can earn a lot with any designations & lead their life, but a poor farmer / daily wage labor can't be called with any designations & will die because of poverty)
10. Let us STOP all these things & work towards developing our country. And let us not forget that our country's well being is in our own hands. Let us not forget to extend our helping hands to every human being in this country.

Critical to your happiness
A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he picked up a very large and empty jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimou 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
'The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
'The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.
'The sand is everything else--the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
'The same goes for life.
'If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important t you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
'Take time to get medical checkups.
'Take your partner out to dinner.
'Play another 18.
'There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
'Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.
'Set your priorities.
'The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked.
'It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend.'

Basic search of research for interviews
It is easier to find out information about a publicly held company than privately owned organizations because public companies are legally required to make certain information available.When researching a subsidiary of a company start with the parent company or holding corporation. You can then drill down into the subsidiary information.Nationally known companies are easier to research than local firms. Check whether the company is part of a bigger, national organization and start your research there.Internet information is generally more up to date than print sources (directories). News in journals and newspapers is obviously more current but a company has to have been news-worthy to get into these publications.Use a variety of sources, when preparing for a job interview, to get the most valid information. Remember to consider the source of the information. A web search will give you data from a variety of sources, it is up to you to recognize reputable and valid information. Information from the company website is usually the most reliable but if you have gone to other sites or sources try and validate the information you get by cross referencing with another source.
