Little World !
"If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people with all existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like this:

There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere (North and South) and 8 Africans.

51 would be female; 49 would be male.
70 would be non-white; 30 white.
70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian.

50% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people and all 6 would be citizens of the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death, 1 would be near birth.
Only 1 would have a college education.
No one would own a computer.

When one considers our world from such an incredibly compressed perspective, the need for both tolerance and understanding becomes glaringly apparent".

Shared by Dr Sharif from Japan

Do Anyway !
"People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for the underdog anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help, but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you’ve got and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway."

-- Mother Teresa (was born in Macedonia, on August 27, 1910 and died on September 5, 1997.)

Instructions for Life !
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Follow the three Rs: Respect for self Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Spend some time alone every day.
Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. Be gentle with the earth.
Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

-- Dalai Lama

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People !
"Achieving unity – oneness – with ourselves, with our loved ones, with our friends and working associates, is the highest and best and most delicious fruit of the 7 Habits.

You can build bridges of trust that span the gaps of understanding between you and others if you cultivate the habit of always keeping the promises you make.

Clear guidance and security bring true wisdom, and wisdom becomes the spark or catalyst to release and direct power.

Real self-respect comes from true independence, from dominion over self.

Between response and stimulus is our greater power… the freedom to choose.

Integrity, in reality, is as simple as this : treat everyone by the same set of principles. This will enable people to trust you.

You can be synergistic within yourself even in the midst of an adverserial environment. You can sidestep negative energy and utilize the good in others to improve your point of view and perspective.

Win-Win is a belief in the third alternative. It`s not your way or my way; it`s a better way, a higher way.

We create a fundamental paradigm of effective living by centering our lives on unchanging, timeless principles. It is the center that puts all other centers in perspective.

It is inspiring to realize that in choosing our response to circumstance, we powerfully affect our circumstance. When we change one part of the chemical formula, we change the nature of the results.

The value of any week is not limited to what we do in it; it`s also in what we learn from it.

The source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power is whatever is at the center of our life."

-- Stephen R. Covey

The Facts of Life !
"This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done".

জীবনের গল্প 014 :: সমস্যা, সম্ভবনা ও সমাধান

উত্সর্গঃ সৃস্টির সেবক, রেডিও আবিস্কারক স্যার জগদীশ চন্দ্র বসু - যার স্পর্শে পৃথিবী ধন্য!

সমস্যার মাঝেই সুপ্ত থাকে সম্ভবনা ও সমাধান। সম্ভবনা ভেবে সৃজনশীলভাবে যে কোন সমস্যা সমাধান করার সহজ চারটি ধাপ:

সমস্যা সনাক্তকরণ - Problem Identification
চিন্তার সমাবেশ - Idea Generation
মূল্যায়ন - Evaluation
প্রয়োগ - Implementation

সমস্যা সনাক্তকরণ: আসল সমস্যা কি? সমস্যার সংঙ্গা কি? সমস্যাটা আসলেই সমস্যা কিনা? সমস্যাটার প্রকৃত মালিক কে? সমস্যাটা সমাধান না করলে আর্থিক ক্ষতি কি? সমস্যার গুরুত্ব? কি পরিমাণ সমাধান প্রয়োজন? লাভ-ক্ষতি?

চিন্তার সমাবেশ: কি কি কারণ? মাথা ঘাটিয়ে বের করুন সমস্যা সমাধানের কি কি পথ রয়েছে? গ্রুপের সবার সবগুলো উপায় লিখে ফেলুন। কোন চিন্তা বাতিল করা চলবেনা। এই পদ্ধতিকে বলা হয় 'ব্রেইন স্টর্মিং'।

মূল্যায়ন: এবার বিশ্লেষণ করুন সমস্যা সমাধানের কোন উপায়টি সবচে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ? গ্রুপের সবার মতামত নিন। কতটুকু বিনিয়োগ করে কত সময়ে কতটুকু ফল পাবার সম্ভবনা রয়েছে? 'পেরিটো ডায়াগ্রাম' তৈরী করুন। বিশ ভাগ কর্ম করে কিভাবে আশি ভাগ ফল পেতে পারি?

প্রয়োগ: এটি চূড়ান্ত ধাপ। চূড়ান্ত পরিকল্পনা ও কার্যপ্রণালী । কে কে করবে? কি কি করবে? কখন করবে? কোথায় করবে? কি কি লাগবে? কত খরচ হবে? কত সময় লাগবে? কিভাবে মনিটর করা হবে? ফলাফল কি? চূড়ান্ত প্রয়োগ ও পর্যালোচনা - স্বল্পমেয়াদী ও সুদূরপ্রসারী ফলাফল?

আমরা প্রায় শুনে থাকি বাংলাদেশের প্রধান সমস্যা জনসংখ্যা। উপরের ধাপগুলো বিবেচনা করে দেখুন। এই বিশাল জনসমষ্টিকে দক্ষ জনসম্পদে পরিণত করার কি এক অপূর্ব সুযোগ ও সম্ভবনা আমরা হেলায় হারাচ্ছি!

National Anthem of Bangladesh

My Bengal of Gold, I Love you
Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune
as if it were a flute,
In Spring, Oh mother mine,
the fragrance from your Mango-groves
makes me wild with Joy
Ah, what a thrill! In Autumn, Oh mother mine,
in the full-blossomed paddy fields,
I have seen spread all over - sweet smiles!
Ah! what a beauty, what shades, what an affection
and what a tenderness!
What a quilt have you spread at the feet of Banyan trees and along the banks of rivers!
Oh mother mine, words from your lips are like
Nectar to my ears!
Ah what a thrill! If sadness, Oh mother mine,
Casts a gloom on your face,
My eyes are filled with tears!

CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE !

The Parent's Creed

(^-^) (^-^) (^-^) (^-^) (^-^) (^-^)
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

By Jane Taylor, An English Poet published this poem in 1806 (1783-1824)

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.
1-1-5-5-6-6-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1
C-C-G-G-A-A-G-F-F-E-E-D-D-C
5-5-4-4-3-3-2-5-5-4-4-3-3-2
G-G-F-F-E-E-D-G-G-F-F-E-E-D

In the dark blue sky you keep, often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye, till the sun is in the sky.
1-1-5-5-6-6-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1
C-C-G-G-A-A-G-F-F-E-E-D-D-C
5-5-4-4-3-3-2-5-5-4-4-3-3-2
G-G-F-F-E-E-D-G-G-F-F-E-E-D

When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light, twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
1-1-5-5-6-6-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1
C-C-G-G-A-A-G-F-F-E-E-D-D-C
5-5-4-4-3-3-2-5-5-4-4-3-3-2
G-G-F-F-E-E-D-G-G-F-F-E-E-D

Then the traveller in the dark, thanks you for your tiny spark,
How could he see where to go, if you did not twinkle so."
