RELATIONSHIPS

from my past relationships i learned:-

Relationships are like glass.

Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken

than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

LIFE TRAGEDY

THIS NEWS REALLY SHOOK MY HEART.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DESIGN OF NATURE.

ALL MY REASONS OR LOGICS SEEMS TO FAIL OR GOING TO BE A UTTER FLAP!!

The LA Times is reporting that a Los Angeles man killed his entire family and himself early Monday evening. Apparently he and his wife were recently terminated from their jobs at Kaiser Permanente after a probe into some misconduct. According to The Times, the man "faxed a bitter, rambling two-page letter to a local television station blaming his employer for his actions." Co-workers and family members were completely in shock and were unable to foresee any sign of this coming. The letter stated that a Kaiser supervisor told the man to shoot himself, which Kaiser denies, and he and his wife made a suicide pact and didn't see why they should leave their children in anyone else's hands. This is such a tragedy and just another sign of the times.

"LET US ALL PRAY FOR THESE ABOVE PEOPLE SOUL REST IN PEACE."

MIKE DUKE,GLOBAL ELITE

THE GLOBAL ELITE
26: Mike Duke
CEO-Designate, Wal-Mart Stores
NEWSWEEK
Published Dec 20, 2008
From the magazine issue dated Jan 5, 2009

As panicked consumers holster their credit cards, at least one company is benefiting: Wal-Mart Stores. Its sales were up 7.6 percent through November; its stock will likely be a rare one that finishes 2008 with a gain. And on Feb. 1, longtime CEO Lee Scott will step aside. His successor: Mike Duke, 58, a former department-store executive and logistics expert who's been at Wal-Mart for 13 years, most recently running its international operations.

Duke takes control of the world's largest retailer at a key moment. Wal-Mart spent the early 2000s fending off complaints over what critics see as a business built on low wages, poor benefits and antiunion activism. The company responded with an aggressive PR campaign, better marketing (its ads now emphasize how its low prices help families save money) and real innovations. It launched a program to sell prescriptions for $4, and it has devised environmental and energy initiatives that have won praise from outfits like Conservation International. "Wal-Mart has overcome [the criticism] by positioning itself as one of the solutions to the nation's problems," says Bernard Sosnick, an analyst with Gilford Securities. "Duke needs to keep the momentum going."

When it comes to sales, much of the momentum will come from overseas. With 4,249 U.S. stores, Wal-Mart has few parts of America left to conquer. Its future growth will depend on penetrating markets like China, which currently has just 215 Wal-Mart locations. Given Duke's international experience, investors will be betting that the new CEO can turn "everyday low prices" into a concept that needs no translation.

As far as his contradictions are concerned,they seem to exist on surface, because he was destroying borrowed beleifs and conditioning of his ppl....but l can say....deep down his message has never changed or become contradictory.

Please allow me to share with you my experience which may be relevant with the topic.I was a staunch Krishnamurti follower in late 80's. I was totally bowled over by his enormous thought and originality. I thought there was nothing else to know, read or understand. JK was height of heights.Then I chanced to read some Osho. After couple of ecstatic encounters, there was this shock. In a book I do not remember the name of,Osho abused JK, which to me, was revolting. It angered me, disturbed me, and threw me off my railings. I simply could not digest any person of depth could say such things about Jiddu Krishnamurti.My confusion and skepticism about Osho continued, but I went on reading Osho, and that was his magnetism. Subsequently in early90's I was fortunate to read a few passages from a number of Osho's books about the essence of JK. Osho was all reverence for JK and through those few passages I have understood JK much more than I have learned in years of reading and listening to JK. It was Jk unfolded specially for me by Osho. Now JK and Osho are a unified soul as I see.Osho criticized all the masters whenever there was a chance of a disciple getting stuck with a master without getting the essence, which only helps to strengthen one's ego and weaken one's religiousness. We also should remember Osho's answers were questioner-specific. Osho ridiculed Jesus, Mahavir, Buddha, Meera,Adi Sankara, Mohammed who were certailnly enlightnend masters of the greatest attainable heights. He of course, tore apart all possible popular gurus who were no where near enlightenment.Thank you Osho

LOVE.

Vladimir Putin

THE GLOBAL ELITE
9: Vladimir Putin
With political opposition crushed and the media throttled, he's still in charge.
NEWSWEEK

Vladimir Putin

officially stepped down from the job last May, but he remains firmly in power. He can and probably will run for president again in 2012. If he chooses to do that, his return to power will likely be no more than a formality. His handpicked successor in the Kremlin, 43-year-old lawyer Dmitry Medvedev, seems to wield little real clout, while the real decisions are still made by Putin, now prime minister, and Putin's old Kremlin staff. At a recent cabinet meeting, Medvedev put a question to a minister—only to have the answer brusquely cut off by Putin. "Why are we discussing this? That's already been decided," Putin snapped, overruling his supposed boss, according to one Kremlin insider who was present at the meeting. Russia's Constitution allows Putin to stand again at the end of Medvedev's term in 2012, and there's little doubt among Russia's political class that Putin intends a return to the throne. Asked about coming back to the top job during a recent phone-in, Putin said Medvedev will serve his full four-year term as president—but pointedly refused to comment on his own plans.

Meanwhile, Medvedev has been preparing the ground for Putin's comeback and pushing through a constitutional change to extend future presidential terms to six years— so Putin, if he stands in 2012, could be president till 2024. Still, the growing economic crisis could derail the Kremlin's carefully laid succession plans. During the good times of high oil prices, Putin enjoyed approval ratings close to 80 percent. But the holes in the Russian economy are beginning to show: the stock market has plummeted 70 percent and the ruble is down nearly 40 percent since the summer. And despite the Kremlin's stranglehold on the media and destruction of any real political opposition, both Putin and Medvedev are sagging in the polls. They may yet have to work to win.

WARREN BUFFETS

'Warren buffets advice for 2009 '

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism. Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations. Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health. They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future. This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

* Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

* Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.

* Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income. [ At least make your Investments get you second earning ]

* Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.

* Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; Spend what is left after saving.

* Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave.

* Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.

* Auditing: Beware of little expenses; A small leak can sink a large ship.

* Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [ Have an alternate plan ready ]

* Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I'm certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy. I'm equally confident that
those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.

Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.
