A small touching story mainly for professionals

mayadas — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:03:19 +0000

Take some time to read through and try to do something in your own way. THis was sent to me by my close friend. I wanted to share this…..

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: ‘Daddy, may I ask you a question?’

DAD: ‘Yeah sure, what is it?’ replied the man.

SON: ‘Daddy, how much do you make an hour?’

DAD: ‘That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?’
the man said angrily.

SON: ‘I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?’

DAD: ‘If you must know, I make $ 100 an hour.’

SON: ‘Oh,’ the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: ‘Daddy, may I please borrow $ 50?’

The father was furious, ‘If the only reason you asked that is so you
can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then
you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this
childish behaviour.’

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little
boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to
think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
$ 50 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to
the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
‘Are you asleep, son?’ He asked.

‘No daddy, I’m awake,’ replied the boy.

‘I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier’ said the
man.

‘It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the
$ 50 you asked for.’

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. ‘Oh, thank you daddy!’ He
yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father.

‘Why do you want more money if you already have some?’ the father
grumbled.

‘Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,’ the little boy replied.

‘Daddy, I have $ 100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?

Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with
you.’

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We
should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some
time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love.

MONEY is NOT EVERYTHING

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.

But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON: Cancer Update From John Hopkins- Part II

mayadas — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 06:43:04 +0000

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour.
Better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.
Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, espec! ially to people with cancer.
A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body’s killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body’s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body’s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environm! ent. Lea rn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL – Part I

mayadas — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 06:34:17 +0000

Hi Friends, this was sent to me by my aunt. I would like to share the same information with you. Realise it is important to understand some home truths about cancer cells.

Read On from Here:-

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime

3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumour.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complication! s.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to
other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply Read this too. This is the most important part of the Update Message

The Interview Call

mayadas — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 07:01:49 +0000

One of these days I was talking to my neighbor’s daughter. She an undergraduate had asked me to help her prepare her first resume. She told me that the college management had hired somebody to help the students with their personality skills. However, she was not happy with the interview skills and resume writing sessions. She had so many doubts about how to go about the whole process.

That’s when I decided that I need to blog about the process of interview. We are always nervous about our first interview. It has happened to me and I believe it happens to each and every one in this world. There are many of us who have taken up summer jobs. Do you recollect how you went about the whole process? What made the employer call you for the interview in the first place? Have you given it a thought?

Remember that the company who gives the interview call hardly knows you. They know you through your CV or resume. So you need to have a neat and tidy and presentable resume. Though, ultimately it is you who have to perform in the interview. It is the resume that has to play the role in getting you the interview call.I would like to take you through the entire process session wise.

I would be blogging about how to write a presentable CV to get the interview call and how to perform well in the interview. The dress code and the body language will also be included.We will discuss about how to write a resume or a CV in the next blog

Have a nice day

My hobbies

mayadas — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 13:54:40 +0000

There are two things which love to do. Window shopping and cooking.

I love to cook for my family. My husband encourages me to try out various dishes.

Apart from these two , my main hobby is reading. I prefer fiction. However, I do read non-fiction too. I love romantic books also. Personally , I feel it helps you in relieving stress.

My favourite authors are Jeffry Archer and Grisham.

Barbara Cartland is one of my favorite romantic writer. I own a few good books written by her.

One book which has captured me so much to make me read and re-read is the novel- A Womanof Substance. Barbara Bradford Taylor has proved through the character Emma Harte that rags to riches is a reality.She has personified Emma Harte as the lady who worked hard and in a right manner to fulfill her dreams and take her revenge on the people who destroyed her. She has got principles too. This is one novel which I would recommend to the book lovers .
