A very good lesson I learnt today..

Today I learnt a very good lesson. Usually we learn things as we experience in our day-to-day life. Corporate world is all new to me. And the lessons are here always. You just have to pay attention to those so that you are on the track. The biggest lesson I learnt today is:
LOOK BEFORE YOU TALK
This is very important, especially in your work place. Before talking one must look around and see who are all there. Then only he/she should speak to be safer. None can actually save us when we loose talk.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
THINK BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING
ASK YOURSELF "WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS GOOD OR NOT GOOD"
At times we may fail. But we should not fall prey for those things. Things once past us are always past. We dont have a time machine to go back and change the things. So it is wise to do the good. It's wiser to get up when we fall down. Life is once and it is for enjoying.
I like this forward which my friend Abinaya sent today.
KNOW UR Value....!
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?"Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of youbut first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground andstarted to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now allcrumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.No matter what I did to the m oney, you still wanted it because it did notdecrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirtby the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel asthough we are worthless.But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never loseyour value. You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday'sdisappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.
" VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED"
<\End of forward>
So we all are valued. What is important is we have to value ourselves. There should be no place for inferiority complex. What we know may be 'greek and latin' to X. What X knows may be 'greek and latin' to us. But basically all are equal. The attitude decides where we stand ahead from others.
I love this quote in my college, PSG Tech.
YOUR ATTITUDE DECIDES THE ALTITUDE YOU CAN REACH.
Enough philosophy for today. Let me wrap up this blog here.
