Good story with old version…There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog.One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep but the donkey and the dog were awake.The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson.The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly.Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.Moral of the story " One must not engage in duties other than his own"...........Now take a new look at the same story…The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute.He had the funds of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night.He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it.Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet.The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dogs duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed a " meets requirement" Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around.The donkey was rated as "star performer". The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards. Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a job rotation…If you have worked in a corporate environment, I am sure you have guessed the characters of the new story.

The stress that we experience from rushing through our lives has a negative effect on our health. Here are 6 secrets from Managing Your Stress in Today's World on how to take back your time.Take on Tasks One at a TimeWe think we are reducing stress by accomplishing more than one thing at a time, when in fact, we are causing ourselves more stress than ever. Stress-busting tip: leave multitasking to your personal computer. Do one thing at a time, do it well, and move on to the next item on your list. That's the best way to regain a sense of control over time.Make an Effort to Do LessThink for a moment about where in your life you are spending valuable time on something that you could possibly live without. Think about getting away from the TV and computer screens that are mental vampires, sucking the life out of us by stealing our time and attention. By doing less and by carefully choosing which activities give you the least amount of benefit for the time commitment they require, you'll actually end up creating more time in your day.Scale Down Your PrioritiesMake a list of four things that you would like to accomplish today. Keep the list with you and stay with each item until you have completed it. Then go to the next item on your list and repeat the process. Keep doing this until you've gotten to the end of your list. Most of us place overwhelming demands on ourselves, or we expect far too little of ourselves. The goal is to hit the "sweet spot," where our expectations of what we can accomplish in any given 24-hour period are in line with reality. If you're afraid that you won't accomplish all four things, well, that's why they invented tomorrow!Clear Out the ClutterWhen our homes, our workplaces, and our vehicles have a sense of orderliness to them, we actually feel more peaceful and less stressed out. We've all gone through the agony of trying to rush out the door when we can't find our car keys, wallet, or purse! Keeping your personal space clutter-free makes it easier to manage your time when you're in a hurry.Replenish Your Body with RestMost of us constantly have our fingers on the fast-forward button, when we really need to hit the pause button for a while. Every time we add another activity or responsibility to our lives, we generally take the time for that activity out of our sleep. We can only carry on not sleeping enough for a while before it catches up with us, causing all sorts of health disorders, including a terrible sense of frustration and stress.Think Positively About TimeWe all know how weeds can overtake a garden, so it is our job constantly to notice and uproot any negative thoughts in the garden that is our mind. As a result, positive thoughts can take root, bloom, and create the beauty that we need in order to enjoy our lives to the fullest. If you hear yourself saying, "I don't have enough time," then say, and preferably out loud, "I have all the time I need for all the things I need to do." A declaration like that has a relaxing and liberating effect on every cell in your body, which relieves tension.__._,_.___

Avoid these and you'll automatically be on the right track (provided you want to be successful)…1. Mixing With LosersIt's a guaranteed way to fail in life with this. Whatever you like to do, losers will just tell you it won't work and after some time, you will also become a loser. Something about losers you should know: they like to recruit new people and are very comfortable in their shoes. They don't welcome change. So when you see someone with either of these two characteristics, you know what you should do.2. Don't Know What You WantMost people say, "I want to be rich". It's fine with that generic goal but the problem is, how rich do you want to be? Or how rich is rich? Put it this way - the methods used to make a million and $3,000 are different. No wonder some people couldn't experience breakthroughs in life because they are playing small for big goals. If you want to make a million, you better put in that level of commitment.3. You Want EverythingIt's nice to have a lot of things but if you go chasing everything, you get nothing. Let me tell you why - you only have 24 hours a day and you've got to focus on your priorities.4. Watching "The Secret" Way Too MuchIt's a surefire way to fail if you keep on watching "The Secret" and doing `attraction' by sitting down on your floor manifesting 3 hours a day. When you believe you can achieve your goal, you will take actions to actually achieve it but if you don't understand this basic element and think dreaming is some sort of miracle remedy you're in for a big surprise for failure.5. You Don't Truly Know Why You Want SuccessMost people failed to achieve their goals because they never complete the journey– they give up half way (or at the beginning) because they cannot see the worth of accomplishments.6. You Don't Remember Your RootsThere are people who achieved success and never felt gratitude towards those who have helped them. Is it so hard to say thank you? The law of reciprocity is simple – you return favors to those who helped you in the past. And maybe, they'll help you again in the future. Remember this - it takes more than just you to achieve success, so don't be a jerk.7. You Think You're SmartThe day you stop learning is the day you stop improving yourself. If you don't want to fail in life, make you sure you stop acting as though you already know everything. The fact is, all successful people are people who continuously learn to be even more successful. They don't stop.8. You Listen To The Wrong PeopleDo yourself a favor, don't get wrong advice. It'll stick in your brain and lead you to make stupid interpretations in life.9. You Think Short TermYou'll hear this happening often in many 'successful' people's stories – make a lot of money to lose it all. This probably because they became too comfortable and the other thing is, once you achieve success, you should ride on the wave when the momentum is there. When you think short term, you're only going after the instant pleasure. You must learn to master `delay gratification' so that you can enjoy your today's labor.10. You're Blind To What Is Important In LifeThere are only two things that are important in your life – control of time and experiencing happiness. Money, love, big cars, diamonds, etc are the things that contribute to these two benchmarks of successes. For instance, if you have money, you don't need to work so that you can have more time to do the things you like. It's not the money that you're trying to get but what the money CAN DO FOR YOU.So now you know the 10 ways to fail in life. Question is, are you doing any of these?__._,_.___

Have you ever watched kidsOn a merry-go-round?Or listened to the rainslapping on the ground?Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?You better slow downDon't dance so fastTime is shortThe music won't lastDo you run through each day On the fly?When you ask How are you?Do you hear the reply?When the day is doneDo you lie in your bedWith the next hundred choresRunning through your head?You'd better slow downDon't dance so fastTime is shortThe music won't lastEver told your childWe'll do it tomorrow?And in your hasteNot see his?Sorrow?

The research shows that subconscious learning of English is much better than consciously "studying" the language.In countless studies, the result is always the same: students who learn English subconsciously learn faster and better than students who use traditional, conscious, analytical study methods.So, what exactly are subconscious methods and what are the traditional conscious methods?Well, you already know the old conscious way of learning English. You use your conscious brain to analyze English grammar, memorize English vocabulary, and translate English messages. This is the method you used in school. You consciously studied the mechanics of English, as if it was a car. You cut up English with your mind and then studied the parts…. word by word,… rule by rule.The result, as you know, is that you know a lot about English grammar rules and translations– but you can't speak well and you can't understand native speakers.Subconscious methods are more effective. These methods provide understandable English input to your brain… and then your subconscious brain does all of the rest of the work. Consciously, all you do is enjoy English stories, articles, conversations, movies, and novels. You never think about grammar rules. You never attempt to memorize words.When you learn in this way, you can actually use the grammar too! Your spoken and written English grammar will improve tremendously. And it will be stress free. It will feel automatic– you'll just say things better and write things better and it will feel effortless. You won't be thinking about rules at all!You must trust yourself. So many students are afraid to use subconscious methods because they don't trust their own brains. They are afraid to relax and enjoy English learning. They are afraid to let the learning happen naturally and effortlessly. Unfortunately, these fearful students almost never learn to speak English well.Don't be one of those students. Change your way of learning. Learn English subconsciously and finally speak excellent English!
