Love n maths


( when maths teacher writes love letter )

My Dear SweetHeart,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane.

There I saw you with our cute circular face, conical nose and spherical eyes, standing in your triangular garden.

Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me.

The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity.

I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity.

You are as essential to me as an element to a set.

The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality.

My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial of degree 10.

With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!


Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:

"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5 crore children start
playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5 lakh learn Professional
tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, and Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going....

Life is short!!!!....One of the best mail I have ever seen....!!



The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.
The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US .
Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication.
In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.



In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care
of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss
.
.
.
.



An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.
The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.



Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube , listening to a song from her husband and friends



At the reception, katie had to take a few rests. The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods



Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts .
We should stop making our lives complicated.

Stand Tall Like the Sunflower





Even the most mundane occurrences can have an impact on our awareness.

A family moved into their new home some years ago and they spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it look green. They lived on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard was encased by a professionally built rock wall. They did the best and changed that area as their 'rock garden'.

Last summer they found a tiny little plant at the end of the rock garden that they could not immediately identify. They knew that they didn't plant it. They decided to let it continue growing until they could figure out what it was.

Weeks passed and as they made their way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower. It was spindly looking with a tall skinny stalk and only one head on it. They decided to baby it along and weed around it. As they pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, they noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where they saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

This makes us realize that if a tiny little Sunflower didn't let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment and nurturing as well.

First, we need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the capabilities in achieving our desires. Like the Sunflower, it knew it had the capability to overcome its obstacle because it trusted in the Universal Truth and had faith it would succeed.

Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires

FRUITS AND HUMAN BODY



CARROTS EYES

SLICE a carrot and it looks just like an eye, right down to the pattern of the iris. Its a clear clue to the importance this everyday veg has for vision. Carrots get their orange colour from a plant chemical called betacarotene, which reduces the risk of developing cataracts. The chemical also protects against macular degeneration an age-related sight problem that affects one in four over-65s. It is the most common cause of blindness in Britain. But popping a betacarotene pill doesnt have the same effect, say scientists at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore



WALNUT BRAIN

THE gnarled folds of a walnut mimic the appearance of a human brain - and provide a clue to the benefits. Walnuts are the only nuts which contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. They may also help head off dementia. An American study found that walnut extract broke down the protein-based plaques associated with Alzheimers disease. Researchers at Tufts University in Boston found walnuts reversed some signs of brain ageing in rats. Dr James Joseph, who headed the study, said walnuts also appear to enhance signalling within the brain and encourage new messaging links between brain cells.



TOMATO HEART

A TOMATO is red and usually has four chambers, just like our heart. Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene, a plant chemical that reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers. The Womens Health Study ” an American research programme which tracks the health of 40,000 women ” found women with the highest blood levels of lycopene had 30 per cent less heart disease than women who had very little lycopene. Lab experiments have also shown that lycopene helps counter the effect of unhealthy LDL cholesterol. One Canadian study, published in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine, said there was œconvincing vidence that lycopene prevented coronary heart disease.

GRAPES LUNGS

OUR lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways that finish up with tiny bunches of tissue called alveoli. These structures, which resemble bunches of grapes, allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. One reason that very premature babies struggle to survive is that these alveoli do not begin to form until week 23 or 24 of pregnancy. A diet high in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer and emphysema. Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which appears to reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergy.



CHEESE BONES

A nice ˜holey cheese, like Emmenthal, is not just good for your bones, it even resembles their internal structure. And like most cheeses, it is a rich source of calcium, a vital ingredient for strong bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Together with another mineral called phosphate, it provides the main strength in bones but also helps to ˜power muscles. Getting enough calcium in the diet during childhood is crucial for strong bones. A study at Columbia University in New York showed teens who increased calcium intake from 800mg a day to 1200mg equal to an extra two slices of cheddar - boosted their bone density by six per cent.



GINGER STOMACH

Root ginger, commonly sold in supermarkets, often looks just like the stomach. So its interesting that one of its biggest benefits is aiding digestion. The Chinese have been using it for over 2,000 years to calm the stomach and cure nausea, while it is also a popular remedy for motion sickness. But the benefits could go much further.
Tests on mice at the University of Minnesota found injecting the chemical that gives ginger its flavour slowed down the growth rate of bowel tumours. GINGER STOMACH



BANANA (SMILE) DEPRESSION

Cheer yourself up and put a smile on your face by eating a banana. The popular fruit contains a protein called tryptophan. Once it has been digested, tryptophan then gets converted in a chemical neurotransmitter called serotonin. This is one of the most important mood-regulating chemicals in the brain and most anti-depressant drugs work by adjusting levels of serotonin production. Higher levels are associated with better moods.



MUSHROOM EAR

Slice a mushroom in half and it resembles the shape of the human ear. And guess what? Adding it to your cooking could actually improve your hearing. Thats because mushrooms are one of the few foods in our diet that contain vitamin D. This particular vitamin is important for healthy bones, even the tiny ones in the ear that transmit sound to the brain.



BROCCOLI CANCER

Close-up, the tiny green tips on a broccoli head look like hundreds of cancer cells. Now scientists know this disease-busting veg can play a crucial role in preventing the disease. Last year, a team of researchers at the US National Cancer Institute found just a weekly serving of broccoli was enough to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 45 per cent. In Britain, prostate cancer kills one man every hour

సడిచేయకే గాలి


సడిసేయకే గాలి సడిసేయకే
సవ్వడిచేసి మాపాప కునుకు చెడదీయకే

ఆటలాడీ పాప అలసి నిదురోతున్నాది
నిదురలో కమ్మనీ కలలు కంటున్నాది
కలలలో మా బంగారు, రంగురంగుల
సీతాకోకచిలుకల వెంట పరుగెడుతున్నాది
నిదుర చెదిరితే బంగారుకల చెదిరిపొయ్యేను
సీతాకోకచిలుకలు పారిపొయ్యేను

సడిసేయకే గాలి సడిసేయకే
సవ్వడిచేసి మాపాప కునుకు చెడదీయకే

అమ్మ, అక్కలతోడ దోబూచులాడింది
తాత, నానమ్మలతో కతలెన్నో చెప్పింది
నిదురలో మాతల్లి, ఏం కలలు కంటున్నాదొ
ముసిముసిగా మాత్రమూ నవ్వుతున్నాది

సడిసేయకే గాలి సడిసేయకే
సవ్వడిచేసి మాపాప కునుకు చెడదీయకే

బుడి బుడి అడుగులతో బుల్లి మాతల్లి
నట్టింట తిరిగింది
తలుపుమాటున దాగి, తానెక్కడో చెప్పుకోమన్నాది
ఇల్లంత తిరిగి, ఇంట కళ నింపి
అలసి సొలసీ పాప నిద్దురోతున్నాది

సడిసేయకే గాలి సడిసేయకే
సవ్వడిచేసి మాపాప కునుకు చెడదీయకే

నిరీక్షణ



విరహపు జల్లులు కురుస్తున్న ఈ వేళ
నీ జాడ తెలియక నా ఆలోచనలు ఆర్భాటం చేస్తున్నాయి
సెలయేటి మలుపులు నా కంట దారినపడి
కన్న్లుల్లో ప్రేమప్రవాహం నిండిఫోతున్నది
తెలిసిన అడుగులు మళ్ళీవేయలేక
నన్ను నేను మరిచి నీ తీపి గుర్తుల్లో జారి పడుతున్నాను
ఆకాశ దీపంలో నీ రూపం కనిపిస్తున్నా
నా ఊహల చీకట్లో నిన్ను గుర్తు పట్ట లేకున్నాను
గడియవేసిన నీ గుండె తాళం తెరిచి ఈ వేళ
నే తెరిచిన తలుపులు దాటి నా కోసం రాలేవా?
నా శ్వాసవేడి చల్లారకముందే
గాలిలా తాకి నన్ను ఓదార్చిపోలేవా ?

What you are earning in life?


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 Rs.100 an hour."

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

SON
: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.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 behavior."

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 Rs.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 Rs.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 Rs.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 us 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 Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.

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.

Perspective


One day , the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip , the father asked his son , "How was the trip?"

"It was great , Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah , " said the son.

"So , tell me , what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us , but they serve others. We buy our food , but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us , they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added , "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are." Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have , instead of worrying about what we don't have.

"Life is too short and friends are too few."

...Magic of Friendship...


అన్ని బంధాల కంటే...

ఎందుకు స్నేహ పాశం ఇంత మధురం గా ఉంటుందో.. ?!!
ఎంత అంటే.. ఒక్కో సారి కళ్ళలో నీరు తెప్పించేంత...

ఎంతో అభిమానం, అంతులేని నమ్మకం..
no formalities.. no rules..
దసాబ్దాలు గడిచినా, అదే కమ్మని భావం..
ఏ గాయాన్నైనా మాయం చెయ్యగల మంత్రం..!!

నెస్తమా...
మనసు కరిగి కన్నీరు వర్షమైనప్పుడు,
వాటిని ప్రేమ కిరణాలతో తాకి, హరివిల్లు గా దిద్దావు!

నాకు నేనే అర్దమైనట్టు....


నువ్వు నవ్వుతున్నప్పుడు
తెలియకుండానె చిరు నవ్వుతో
నా పెదవులు విచ్చుకుంటాయి
ఎంత సంతోషమో అని

తెగని ఆలోచనలతో
నువ్వు తలపట్టుకున్నప్పుడు
నేను ఆలోచిస్తాను
నువ్వేమి ఆలోచిస్తున్నావో అని

కోపంతో నువ్వు
కనులెర్ర చేసినప్పుడు
భయంతో ముడుచుకుంటాను
ఆ కోపంలో నువ్వేమవుతావో అని

ప్రశాంతంగా నువ్వు
నిద్రిస్తుంటే నాకెందుకింత
ఆనందం? ఆ తలకట్టులో
చేయిపెట్టి, నుదుటిపై ముద్దాడాలని

ఎదుకిలా జరుగుతుందని
ఎంతగానో ఆలోచించాను
ఊహుం! ఎదోతెలిసినట్లు
అంతలోనే ఏమీ తెలియనట్లు

నాకు నేనే అర్దమైనట్టు
అంతలోనే నువ్వు నేనైట్టు.
ఓ వింతైన అనుభూతి,
మాటలకందదు మనసు వీడదు

నీ మౌనం

నీ మాటలతో పెదవులపై దరహాసం
నీ తలపులతో బుగ్గల్లో సిగ్గు దొంతరలు
నిన్ను చూడగానే నాలో కలిగే అలజడి
నీ మనసుకు ఇంకా అర్థం కానివా?
మరి ఎందుకు ఈ శీతకన్ను నేస్తం
నీ మౌనం నాకు మరణంతో సమానం

తెలుసుకో నేస్తం

చిరునవ్వు విలువెంతో

అందుకొన్న అతిధినడుగు

సూటి మాట పదునెంతో

గాయపడిన మనసునడుగు

జారిన కన్నీటి బరువెంతో

తేలికపడిన గుండెనడుగు

చివరికి మిగిలేదేమిటో

కాలు నిలవని కాలాన్నడుగు

నీ ప్రేమకై......

సముద్రపు ఒడ్డున నీ జ్ఙాపకాల ఇసుకమేడనొకటి కట్టాను..
ఆ ఇంటి ముందు ఆశల పూతోటనొకటి నాటాను..
అలలు వాటిని తాకకుండా, అరచేతులు అడ్డుపెట్టి ఆపుతున్నాను..
మేడలో నిన్ను నా కౌగిలిలో బంధించాలనుకున్నాను..
తోటలో విరబూసిన పూలతో నిన్ను పూజించాలనుకున్నాను..
నన్ను చూసినవారు గేలిచేసి నవ్వుతున్నారని తెలుసుకున్నాను..
అయినా నిలకడలేని నీ ప్రేమకై ఎదురుచూస్తున్నాను..

కలసికట్టుగా....



జీవితంలో ఎందుకిన్ని ఆశలో!
ఒకరిపై ఒకరికి ఎందుకని రాగద్వేషాలో!
లోకంలో ప్రేమే కరువైందనాలో!
స్వార్థమే ప్రేమని జయించిందనాలో!

ఏడ్చే వాళ్ళని చూసి నవ్వుతుంది లోకం!
పోయిన వాళ్ళని చూసి ఏడుస్తాం మనం!
బ్రతికున్నన్నాళ్ళు ఒకరిపై ఒకరు సాధించాలనుకుంటారు విజయం!
చచ్చాక ఏమి మిగిలిందనో మనల్ని కాలుస్తారు ఈ జనం!

అందుకే నాది అన్న మాటను మరచి మనది అన్న బాటలో పయనిద్దాం....
అందులోని ఆనందాన్ని అందరం చవిచూద్దాం....

BE LIKE COFFEE

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he went and turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her he asked. "Darling, what do you see."

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard- boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. She humbly asked. "What does it mean Father?"

He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. "Which are you," he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? "

How about you? Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity do you wilt and become soft and lose your strength?

Are you the egg, which starts off with a malleable heart? Were you a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a divorce, or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff. Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart?

Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain, to its peak flavor reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better.

If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you .

How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

A FATHERS PROMISE



In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened Armenia, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.

In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.

After the traumatic initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of debris that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.

He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the rubble.

As he was digging, other forlorn parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off of what was left of the school saying:

"It's too late!" "They're dead!" "You can't help!" "Go home!" "Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!" "You're just going to make things worse!" To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?" And then he proceeded to dig for his son, stone by stone.

The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off of the school's debris saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." To which this loving, caring Armenian father asked, "Are you going to help me now?"

The police came and said, "You're angry, distraught and it's over. You're endangering others. Go home. We'll handle it!" To which he replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.

Courageously he proceeded alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?"

He dug for eight hours . . . 12 hours . . . 24 hours .. . . 36 hours . . . then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a boulder and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "ARMAND!" He heard back, "Dad!?! It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told ‘‘em that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, ‘‘No matter what, I'll always be there for you!' You did it, Dad! . . . "

"What's going on in there? How is it?" the father asked.

There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building collapsed, it made a wedge, like a triangle, and it saved us."

"Come on out, boy!"

"No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, ‘‘cause I know you'll get me! No matter what, I know you'll be there for me!"

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

వికాసానికి 10 వివేకాలు.

చదువు... కెరీర్... జీవితం... అన్ని రంగాల్లో దూసుకుపోవడానికి స్వామీ వివేకానంద సూచించిన 'కోటబుల్ కోట్స్' మీకోసం.


1. ప్రేమ.. డబ్బు.. జ్ఞానం.. చదువు.. దేనికోసమైనా తపనపడుతూ పిచ్చివాడై పోయేవాడికి అది తప్పకుండా దొరుకుతుంది. అందుకోసం మనం కనబరచాల్సిందల్లా ఉడుంపట్టులాంటి పట్టుదల, సంకల్పబలం, శ్రమించేతత్వం.

2. గొప్ప అవకాశాలే వస్తే ఏమీ చేతకానివారు కూడా ఏదో గొప్ప సాధించవచ్చు. ఏ అవకాశాలూ లేనప్పుడు కూడా ఏదైనా సాధించినవాడే గొప్పవాడు.

3. ఆత్మవిశ్వాసం లేకపోవడం అనేది క్షమించరాని నేరం. మన చరిత్రలో ఏదైనా సాధించిన గొప్ప వ్యక్తుల జీవితాలను నిశితంగా పరిశీలించండి. వారిని నడిపించింది ఆత్మవిశ్వాసమేనని తెలుస్తుంది. భగవంతుడి పట్ల నమ్మకం లేనివాడు నాస్తికుడనేది ఒకప్పటి మాట. ఆత్మవిశ్వాసం లేనివాడు నాస్తికుడన్నది ఆధునిక మతం.

4. ఎవరికో బానిసలా కాకుండా నువ్వే యజమానిలా పనిచెయ్యి. నిర్విరామంగా పనిచెయ్యి. బాధ్యత తీసుకో. అది నిజంగా నిన్ను యజమానిని చేస్తుంది.

5. పనికీ విశ్రాంతికీ మధ్య సరైన సమతౌల్యం ఉండాలి.

6. పిరికితనానికి మించిన మహాపాపం ఇంకోటి లేదు. ఒక దెబ్బతింటే రెట్టింపు ఆవేశంతో పది దెబ్బలు కొట్టాలి. అప్పుడే మనిషివని అనిపించుకొంటావు. పోరాడుతూ చనిపోయినా పర్లేదు. కానీ పోరాటం అవసరం.

7. అనంత శక్తి, అపారమైన ఉత్సాహం, అమేయ సాహసం, అఖండ సహనం.. ఇవే మనకు కావాలి. వీటితోనే ఘనతను సొంతం చేసుకోగలం. వెనక్కి చూడకండి. ముందంజ వేయండి.

8. మనలో ఉన్న పెద్ద లోపమేమిటంటే ముగ్గురం కలిసి పొందికగా ఐదునిమిషాలు పని చేయలేం. ప్రతివ్యక్తీ పెత్తనం కోసం పాకులాడుతుంటాడు. అందువల్లే మొత్తం పని, వ్యవస్ధ చెడిపోతున్నాయి.

9. మనస్సు, శరీరం రెండూ దృఢంగా ఉండాలి. ఉక్కు నరాలూ ఇనుపకండలూ కావాలి మనకి. మేధస్సుకు చదువులాగా శరీరానికి వ్యాయామం అవసరం. నిజానికి ఓ గంటసేపు పూజ చేసే కన్నా పుట్ బాల్ ఆడటం మంచిది. బలమే జీవితం... బలహీనతే మరణమని గుర్తించండి.

10. వెళ్లండి. ఎక్కడెక్కడ క్షామం, ఉత్పాతాలు చెలరేగుతున్నాయో అలాంటి ప్రతి ప్రదేశానికీ వెళ్లండి. మీ సేవలతో బాధితులకు ఉపశమనాన్నివ్వండి. వ్యధను తుడిచే ప్రయత్నం చెయ్యండి. ఆ ప్రయత్నంలో మహా అయితే మనం చనిపోవచ్చు. కానీ ఆ మరణం కూడా మహోత్కృష్టమైనది. కూడగట్టాల్సింది సహాయం.. కలహం కాదు. కోరుకోవల్సింది సృజన.. విధ్వంసం కాదు. కావలిసింది శాంతి, సమన్వయం.. సంఘర్షణ కాదు.
