Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair after arriving in a hotel in Manchester went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness.

The barman said, "That will be £1 please, Mr. O’Leary."

Taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.

"We do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "We have the cheapest beer in England".

"That is remarkable value", Michael comments.

"I see you don't have a glass, you'll need one of ours. That will be £3 please."

O'Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat. 

"Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra £2. If you'd pre-booked it would have cost £1."

O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. 

"I see you've brought your laptop" added the barman. "That wasn't pre-booked either, that's another £3."

O'Leary was so incensed and his face was red with rage. 
"I've had enough! I insist on speaking to a manager!"

"Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9.00 am and 9.01am every morning, Monday to Tuesday. Calls are free, unless answered, then there is a charge of only £1 per second".

"I will never use this bar again".

"OK but do remember, we are the only hotel in England selling pints for £1."

Call Center:         Hi, this is Google Pizza, how may I help you?
Mr.Smith:            Google what? 
Call Center:         Google Pizza. What would you like to order?
Mr.Smith:            But I was calling Papa Luc Pizza...
Call Center:         That’s right, it used to be Papa. Google is the new owner, and we are now offering a full range of services!
Mr.Smith:            Great! Can you take my order?
Call Center:         Absolutely! Your usual? 
Mr.Smith:            My usual? How do you know?
Call Center:         We have your caller ID; in the last 53 calls from this number the order was for a large Hawaiian Pizza  with extra cheese and ham, and also a super cold large bottle of Coke.
Mr.Smith:            Wow, that’s something new! … Ok, all the same order!
Call Center:         Excuse me, can I make a suggestion?
Mr.Smith:            Sure!
Call Center:         Do you know our new full menu?
Mr.Smith:            No
Call Center:         We have the most comprehensive menu. I would recommend you a cottage cheese and salad pizza with a bottle of low-salt carbonated water. 
Mr.Smith:            Cottage cheese and salad? Low salt? I hate these things! Are you nuts?
Call Center:         That’s understandable, it’s for your own health. Besides, your cholesterol is very high...
Mr.Smith:            How do you know?
Call Center:         Our company maintains the largest database on Earth. With your phone number we know your name, and can access your medical test records....
Mr.Smith:            I don't give a damn about your database! I don't want your cheese-and-salad pizza! I take proper medications and therefore I can eat whatever I want, isn't that clear?
Call Center:         Sorry, but recently you weren't taking your medications.
Mr.Smith:            How the hell do you know? Are you spying on me?
Call Center:         Not at all! We happen to be managing databases for all city pharmacies, and the last time you filled your prescription was 3 months ago. And, there were only 30 pills in the bottle.
Mr.Smith:            Damn your right! But how did you know?
Call Center:         From your credit card records...
Mr.Smith:            What?
Call Center:         Well, every time you pay with your points credit card at the pharmacy, you get a discount. We maintain all the records. Over the last 3 months, you haven’t purchased anything at the pharmacy, but used your card in other places. Which means, you haven't lost or replaced it.
Mr.Smith:            Son of a gun… But what if I paid cash? Ah?
Call Center:         Impossible. You’re only paying cash $100 a week to your maid. As for the rest, you are only paying with your credit card
Mr.Smith:            You bastards! How do you know how much I'm paying to the maid?
Call Center:         Well, she is paying social insurance...
Mr.Smith:            Go to hell!
Call Center:         It's up to you. Sorry for your disappointment, but all this information is right at my screen, and I'm only trying to be helpful. You'd better visit your doctor, and fine-tune your dosage according to your last month tests...
Mr.Smith:            Listen, you… I’m fed up with you, your computers, your databases and the Internet! And Google, and Facebook, and Twitter, and no privacy in this 21st century, and the Big Brother watching …
Call Center:         Please, take it easy.. Getting frustrated doesn't do you any good...
Mr.Smith:            Shut up! I’m leaving tomorrow! I will go far, far away from all this crap. To a remote island, wherever, without the Internet, computers, phones and people spying on me...
Call Center:         I understand you...
Mr.Smith:            For the last time I'll use my credit card to buy my airline ticket to the very end of the earth!
Call Center:         Good...
Mr.Smith:            Cancel my pizza order. I no longer want it!
Call Center:         Sure, all done! But if you allow me, one last thing…
Mr.Smith:            WHAT?!
Call Center:         I would like to remind you that your passport has expired.

What a new crazy and scary world ! 

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, 
"And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer enquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
And the interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."

One day an employee sends a letter to his boss to increase his salary!!!

Un jour, un professeur entra dans sa classe et demanda à ses élèves de se préparer à une interrogation surprise.
Les élèves, étonnés, attendaient que le contrôle commence.
Le professeur distribua les feuilles d'interrogation face vers le bas, comme d'habitude.
Lorsqu'il les eut toutes distribuées, il demanda aux élèves de retourner leur feuille.
À la surprise générale, il n'y avait aucune question.
Juste un point noir au centre de la feuille.
En voyant l'expression des visages des élèves, le professeur leur di : «Je voudrais que vous écriviez ce que vous voyez ici...»
Les étudiants, un peu confus, commencèrent ce devoir inexplicable.
À la fin du temps imparti, le professeur ramassa les copies et commença à les lire à haute voix devant toute la classe.
Tous les étudiants avaient défini le point noir, en essayant d'expliquer sa position au centre de la feuille.
Après que toutes les copies eurent été lues, le professeur commença à expliquer: 

«Je ne vais pas vous noter là-dessus. Je voulais juste que vous réfléchissiez.
Personne n'a rien écrit au sujet de la partie blanche de la feuille. Tout le monde s'est focalisé sur le point noir.
Et la même chose arrive dans nos vies. On a tendance à se focaliser seulement sur le point noir. Le problème de santé qui nous embête, le manque d'argent, une relation compliquée avec un membre de la famille, une déception avec un ami...
Les points noirs sont très petits quand on les compare avec tout ce que nous avons dans nos vies, mais ce sont eux qui polluent notre vie.
Eloignez vos yeux des points noirs de votre vie et prenez conscience de tout ce que vous avez.
Profitez de chacune de vos satisfactions, de chaque moment positif que la vie vous donne.
Voyez l'abondance autour de vous et vivez heureux.»

I told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.”
He said, “NO!”
I told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”
He said, “OK”

I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.”
Bill Gates said, “NO.”
I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.”
Bill Gates said, “OK.”
I called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.
He said, “NO.”
I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
He said, “OK.”

One day, a man approached JP Morgan, held up an envelope, and said, 

“Sir, in my hand I hold a guaranteed formula for success, which I will gladly sell to you for $25,000.”  
“Sir,” JP Morgan replied, “I do not know what is in the envelope. However, if you show me and I like it, I give you my word as a gentleman that I will pay you what you ask.” 

The man agreed to the terms and handed over the envelope. JP Morgan opened it, and extracted a single sheet of paper. He gave it one look and handed the piece of paper back to the gent, pulled out his checkbook, and paid the man the agreed-upon $25,000. 

The paper read: 
1-Every morning, write a list of the things that need to be done that day. 
2-Do them

A giant ship engine failed.  The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. 
He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
“What?!” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!”

So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.”

The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer………………….. $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap…………………….. $ 9,998.00

Effort is important, 

but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference!

« Oui » répondit le chinois très calmement « quand le vôtre viendra sentir les fleurs… »

The Washington Monument was disintegrating - Why ? 

Why? Use of harsh chemicals
Why? To clean pigeon poop
Why so many pigeons? They eat spiders and there are a lot of spiders at monument
Why so many spiders? They eat gnats and lots of gnats at monument
Why so many gnats? They are attracted to the light at dusk.


Solution: Turn on the lights at a later time.

Triage

Do you know that the term triage may have originated during the Napoleonic Wars from the work of Dominique Jean Larrey.  Those responsible for the removal of the wounded from a battlefield or their care afterwards would divide the victims into three categories:

• Those who are likely to live, regardless of what care they receive;
• Those who are likely to die, regardless of what care they receive;
• Those for whom immediate care might make a positive difference in outcome

At Waterloo in 1815 the courage of Dominique Jean Larrey under fire was noticed by the Duke of Wellington who ordered his soldiers not to fire in his direction so as to “give the brave man time to gather up the wounded” and saluted “the courage and devotion of an age that is no longer ours”. Larrey was taken prisoner by the Prussians and condemned to death. However, he was recognized by one of the German surgeons, who pleaded for his life. Perhaps partly because he had saved the life of Blücher's son when he was wounded and taken prisoner by the French, he was pardoned, invited to Blücher's dinner table as a guest and taken back to France under escort. He devoted the remainder of his life to writing and a civilian medical career.

(CodeGen) Learning of the week - Do You Have a Mindset of Growth?

Many years ago two salesmen were sent to a remote island by a shoe manufacturer. The goal of their trip was to investigate this new market, and to report their findings back to headquarters on the potential of the market.

The first salesman came back with a rather dismal report, “There’s no potential at all here, because nobody wears shoes.” While the second salesman came back with a rather different reply, “There’s massive potential in this island, because nobody wears shoes."

Learning:

If you don’t feel that you can change a situation, you act one way. But if you see the world as a series of opportunities, you act differently.

Surely it’s no surprise to any of you that two people could have completely different responses to the same situation. But what’s interesting here is how they are different.

Shoe Salesmen #1, who only saw a hopeless situation, was “sorting for limitation”, while Shoe Salesmen #2, who saw a glorious opportunity, was “sorting for possibility.”

A person who is sorting for limitation is noticing for all the things that are/ or could go wrong, all the ways in which they will not be able to fulfill whatever it is they want. But on the other hand a person sorting for possibility, is noticing for all the ways in which they can get what they want.

(CodeGen) - Learning of the Week - The potatoes, eggs, and coffee.

Once a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” 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. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity – THE BOILING WATER.

However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity or change knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “

Learning:

In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Learning of the week - Nails on the fence

The next time you are tempted to say something hurtful to someone just because you’re angry, you might want to stop and remember this story: it’s a keeper. Read it here.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there."

The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said "I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you."

"Of course I can my son," said the father.

Learning
Be mindful and take care of what you say when you are angry.
Remember forgiveness is a gift you give yourself

(CodeGen) - Learning of the Week - 

As Narrated by the Late Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam

Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.

By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal. It was a big failure.
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that “the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support”. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.

The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite – and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today."

I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

Learning

Leaders should have the emotional intelligence, courage and qualities to know how to manage failure.

Learning of the week - Gift of the heart!

A young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher.

After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water.

Later, the student tasted the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container.

The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?"

The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter."!!!

We may understand this lesson best when we receive innocent gifts of love from little children. Whether it's a crushed paper painting or a clay figure, the natural and proper response is appreciation and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.
Learning:
Gratitude doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, many value only the thing given rather than the feeling embodied in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart!!

Also, when we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest of appreciation is not to utter mere words, but to live by them.

(CodeGen) Learning of the week - Paradigm Shift

I experienced one Sunday morning on a subway in New York;

People were sitting quietly -- some reading newspapers, some lost in thought, some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm, peaceful scene.

Then suddenly, a man and his children entered the subway. The children were so loud and rambunctious that instantly the whole climate changed. The man sat down next to me and closed his eyes, apparently oblivious to the situation.

The children were yelling back and forth, throwing things, even grabbing people's papers. And yet, the man sitting next to me did nothing. It was difficult not to feel irritated. I could not believe that he could be so insensitive to let his children run wild like that and do nothing about it, taking no responsibility at all. It was easy to see that everyone else on the subway felt irritated, too.

So finally, with what I felt was unusual patience and restraint, I turned to him and said, "Sir, your children are really disturbing a lot of people. I wonder if you couldn't control them a little more"

The man lifted his gaze as if to come to a consciousness of the situation for the first time and said softly,

"Oh, you're right. I guess I should do something about it.

We just came from the hospital where their mother died about an hour ago. I don't know what to think, and I guess they don't know how to handle it either."

Can you imagine what I felt at that moment? My paradigm shifted. Suddenly I saw things differently, I felt differently, I behaved differently. My irritation vanished. I didn't have to worry about controlling my attitude or my behavior; my heart was filled with the man's pain. Feelings of sympathy and compassion flowed freely. 'Your wife just died? Oh, I'm so sorry. Can you tell me about it? What can I do to help?" Everything changed in an instant.

(Stephen Covey)

Learning:

We never know the stories of others, why they act the way they do but we could try assuming people have a reason which, if we knew it, would change our reactions to them from negative to positive.

(CodeGen) Learning of the week - The 99 Club

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked.

This fascinated the King; the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The King thought to himself, “Why is he so happy?”

Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King’s woes and the servant’s story, the advisor said, “Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of the 99 Club.”

“The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?” the King inquired.

The advisor replied, “Your Majesty, you shall see if you place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant’s doorstep.”

The curious king had it done. When the servant saw the bag lying at the door, he took it into his house. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy… So many gold coins!

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, “What could’ve happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!”

He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant’s life changed. He became overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King became more curious. He summoned his advisor who explained: “Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.”

Learning:

“We have so much to be thankful for and we can live with very little in our lives, but the minute we are given something bigger and better, we want even more! We are not the same happy contented person we used to be, we want more and more and by wanting more and more we don't realize the price we pay for it. We lose our sleep, our happiness; we hurt the people around us just as a price to pay for our growing needs and desires.

There are those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they’re always yearning and striving for that extra coin. They keep telling themselves: “Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life. And this goes on and on.. That is what joining The 99 Club is all about.

Happiness is not feeling, it is a choice!

(CodeGen) Learning of the week - Climb the ladder

A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the other monkeys beat him up. Eventually, no monkey dared to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation.

Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The first thing the new monkey did was go up the ladder. Immediately the other monkeys beat him up. After several beatings, the new monkey learned not to climb the ladder even though he was unaware of the reason behind this. A second monkey was substituted and the same result occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was substituted and the same was repeated. The fourth was the same and finally the fifth monkey was replaced.

What was left was a group of five monkeys that continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder even though they had never received a cold shower.

If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder, their answer would probably be "I don't know. That's just how things are done around here."

Learning:

People sometimes continue doing the same old actions in their life, workplace etc… How many times have we heard "It has always been done this way. Don't mess with what works."

Instead of challenging these assumptions, many of us, like the monkeys, simply keep doing what has been done before without even knowing the reason behind it! It's the easiest thing to do.

Our assumptions are our windows to the world. Let's scrub them off every once in a while, or light won't come in.

So let's break free and climb 'the ladder'.

(CodeGen) Learning of the week - The 7 wonders!

A class of junior school students had a study of the Seven Wonders of the World. As an activity the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following were listed as the most voted by the students according to their knowledge and beliefs;
1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a shy quiet girl, hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So the teacher asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.”
The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help you out.”
The girl hesitated, and then read, “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are”;
1. to Touch…
2. to Taste…
3. to See…
4. to Hear…
5. to Feel…
6. to Laugh…
7. And to Remember and also to Love.
The room was so quiet; you could have heard a pin drop.
Learning:
This is a gentle reminder to all of us who tend to overlook simple and ordinary things in life which are often the most wonderful wonders we would possess. The beauty is we don’t have to travel anywhere special to experience them if only we just took time to value them. There is no consciousness without senses and memories, Enjoy the gifts gifted by Mother Nature!
