Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle.
It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%.

The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction.
Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
Let's use an example.
You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse.
You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you
drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing Rs. 200/- traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is "D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently
say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same.
Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED/RESPONDED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your action. Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.

If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your
temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off. Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It
will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another
job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this
principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It CAN change your life!!!

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Pranab Da ko itna gussa kyon aata hai....... should control his ire,
Ask him a question and you are in line of his fire!!!!

In Parliament to a question on Pak's Nuclear bombs, that had actually put him in a tight spot, Pranab Da got angry and said that this was not like instant tea or coffee that he had answers ready off the cuff!!! Fact is if in his position he has to always be on the ball and has to answer questions!!! Sonia needs to talk to Pranab Da and ask him to control his gussa!!!! Summers in Delhi are bad and so Pranab Da should have things that have a cool effect on the body….. like before going into Parliament he should have Thandai or Rooh Afza…… he should cut down on eating fish in summers and should not have any tea or coffee….. instant or brewed!!!

Now Bangladesh is taking advantage of India's softness……bajj raha hai hamaara band,
Bangladeshis have occupied 2 sq.kms of our land.

Bangladeshis backed by the Bangladesh Amry have squatted on 2 sq.Kms. of our land!!! India's softness makes people take such actions. Had India been known for not taking any nonsense these people would have thought twice before taking such an action. They must have been emboldened by the fact that their countrymen have occupied land within India and Indian Politicians are pampering them for their votes!!! Appeasement is costing India dearly!!!!

To fight terrorism India needs an act like POTA,
Act that will serve as a sotta ( dandha)!!!

Without such an act our fight against terrorism is toothless. But the problem is that Muslim Bodies feel that POTA is anti Muslim whereas POTA is meant for those anti India!!!! Countries like USA and UK have come out with laws to tackle anti Country activities!!! If India is bent on fighting terrorism then an act like POTA has to be brought into existence!!!

Laloo behaves as if he's never had any Champagne …… he's had plenty of it,
In fact they say a glass or two brings out Laloo's wit!!!

Problem is that Laloo believes in drinking Champagne in a steel glass so that no one comes to know what he's drinking!!!! And Laloo loves to have Champagne with a load of Kheni in his gob!!!! And he purposely mispronounces Champagne …. objective is same as drinking Champagne in a steel glass!!! By the pray as his daughter's nuptial what was he sipping with Gupta and his buddies????

Shouldn't Congress chuck out Nut,
Kick him out … no if and no but!!!

Nut spends his waking hours damning India's current Foreign Policy!!! He's seen in the company of the anti Congress lobby….like Amar Item Boy!!! In fact he's in with the anti Congress lobby…. in fact he's the unofficial adviser to Congress baiters!!! Why is Congress bearing his waywardness????

General Roddy is more interested in real estate development,
For Chandigarh this is a sad development!!!

The modus operandi being adopted is to pick up farm land from Farmers at a pittance and then selling this land to Real Estate Developers for a phenomenal price. The judicious way would have been to let the Real Estate Developers pick up land form the farmers and then the Administration could charge the Developers a conversion rate!!! The recently finalized 123 acre deal needs to be investigated!!!
