2. Thought for this week
There are many people who have succeeded in life without education, money and even without arms or legs. There are many such achievers. But no person has succeeded in his/her life without self-confidence. Believe in yourself. Just believe that you are the right person for the job assigned to you. At the end of the day you will be amazed by the results.
3. Health …Food as Medicine
HEADACHE? EAT FISH! Eat Ginger
Eat plenty of fish -- fish oil helps prevent headaches.
So does ginger, which reduces inflammation and pain.
HAY FEVER? EAT YOGURT!
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season.
Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.
TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA!
Prevent build up of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea.. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading....Green tea is great for our immune system)!
INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?) HONEY!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.
ASTHMA? EAT ONIONS!!!!
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).

4. Management quick tips..Steps for success
a. Be focused: If the sun's rays are focused on a piece of paper with a lens, the intensity of the conce! ntrated energy burns the paper. Focus on your objective will enhance the intensity of the effects of your efforts.

6. Management thoughts - The Result of Initiative
Some years ago, three brothers left the farm to work in the city. They were all hired by the same company at the same pay. Three years later, Jim was being paid $500 a month, Frank was receiving $1,000, but George was now making $1,500.
Their father decided to visit the employer. He listened to the confused father and said, "I will let the boys explain for themselves."
Jim was summoned to the supervisor's office and was told, "Jim, I understand the Far East Importers has just brought in a large transport plane loaded with Japanese import goods. Will you please go over to the airport and get a cargo inventory?"
Three minutes later, Jim returned to the office. "The cargo was one thousand bolts of Japanese silk," Jim reported. "I got the information over the telephone from a member of the crew."
When Jim left, Frank, the $1,000 a month brother, was called. "Frank," said the supervisor, "I wish you'd go out to the airport and get an inventory of the cargo plane which was just brought in by Far East Importers."
An hour later, Frank was back in the office with a list showing that the plane carried 1,000 bolts of Japanese silk, 500 transistor radios, and 1,000 hand painted bamboo trays. George, the $1,500 a month brother, was given identical instructions. Working hours were over when he finally returned.
"The transport plane carried one thousand bolts of Japanese silk," he began. "It was on sale at sixty dollars a bolt, so I took a two-day option on the whole lot.
I have wired a designer in New York offering the silk at seventy-five dollars a bolt. I expect to have the order tomorrow. I also found five hundred transistor radios, which I sold over the telephone at a profit of $2.30 each.
There were a thousand bamboo trays, but they were of poor quality, so I didn't try to do anything with them."
When George left the office, the employer smiled. "You probably noticed," he said, "that Jim doesn't do what he's told, Frank does only what he'd told, but George does without being told."
The future is full of promise for one who shows initiative.

On customer service – here is a real incident on how valued customers are treated in other countries – this was in Australia
From Senthil = I just changed my electricity provider, and after 3 months I got this letter tempting me to join them.
See attachment and also the finer details on each tablet.
(Double click to enlarge)In case it is not clear, the letter says, "It is hard to believe you that you have been gone for so long; Life is not the same without you.."
The tablets on the side include text such as "Miss You" , "Love", We're sad,"Come Back", "Say yes"...

How to set up an intruder alarm on your email account
This may or may not come as a shocker, but according to a recent FTC survey on identity theft, 16 percent of the victims said their information was stolen by people they knew, which included friends, relatives, neighbors, and coworkers. This is very important because it serves as a reminder that we need to take extra precautions whether we're at home or at work.

It's probably a good idea to disable cookies, so you don't save login and password information of your accounts, and you should never keep sensitive information where thieves can easily find it.
To find out if someone has accessed their personal email account, see this excellent post written by PCWorld's Erik Larkin on how to set a hacker alarm on your web mail box. This is a good way to find out if anyone besides you is logging into your email account.
Here's the gist:
1. Open an account with OneStatFree.com, and use a disposable e-mail address to complete the registration process.
2. You'll receive an email from OneStat with an attached file. Save the file, note the account number, and then delete the email.
3. Rename the file with a name that would catch a hacker's eye like "AccountPasswords." Save the .txt file as an .htm file so it opens up in a web browser.
4. Send an email with the .htm file to the account you want to monitor. Use a subject title that is eye catching.
5. Wait for the hacker to take the bait. If the attachment is opened by anyone else but you, the hit counter will record their IP address.

Hackers are very clever, so you want to change your password frequently to something that's a little harder to crack.
10. Valentines Day - Beyond Lovers
Valentines Day festival has grown beyond lovers in modern days to encompass just anyone and everyone we love. People can buy gifts , cards, flowers, etc. for their friends, spouse, parents, children, teachers or for anyone they find dear and express their love or affection for them.
Children can be encouraged to show their love for their siblings, parents, grandparents (Imagine what a surprise it would be!!!) and other family members. This could help to generate positive feelings for each other and create happiness in the family
YOU can choose this day to express Gratitude and affection to friends, colleagues and dear ones for their wonderful presence and support.
YOU can also perform acts of charity – Visit an orphanage, old age home or hospitals and support people who have a need for attention or affection.
YOU can also be a Organ Donor – PROVE YOUR LOVE to the World by donating your organs. Your Valentine’s Day today could mean that, five years after you are gone, several people’s lives will be saved. That’s better than any gifts, cards or chocolate. That’s proof of love.
And appropriately enough, February 14th is also National Organ Donor Day
So, On this day, I would like to Thank each of you for being my Friend and wish you all a Happy Valentines day. Go Ahead and rededicate yourself to your spouse, Children, your parents and to your friends.
