Q4 What is the single greatest piece of career advice, and why? KR Yes, it's a good point. But updations, Loyalty etc are mere variables, wrt the factors good will going around. Just when finished it was software welcoming him, might have the other way too as something else, upcoming, and his line of approach down-trodding. Similarly, Loyalty depends on the right spirit of the boss. If Karma is good all will place itself at that right moment. I had seen an accountant cum PA of a leading FD of a big group, when I was young. Sincere to his boss, 3 daughters. I used to wonder then, why he is wasting his time, with such fastidious loyalty. He became my home visitor also as he was close to my colony. We were going around. After 2 decades, again we met accidentally. He was courteous to me as he used to be. He said he had married 2 of his daughters in a high place; and when I asked him what he is now, I was stunned; he is director of 5 companies, all subsidiaries of the boss group. He was elevated by the boss to take charge of one company as director executive which expanded now to 5 companies. With car quarters were big one, so sambandis were also high. And the top knotch is, that boss said, as he has another level, cannot continue as his P A SO TOOK ONE AS HIS P.A AS RECOMMENDED; AND CONTINUED TO CONSULT HIM IN MATTRESS OF EXIGENCIES. AND HE IS STILL LOYAL TO HIM. Later I lost touch. I dont know much about him.

A1 Audrey Lewis, Food Lover, Jan 4 Ah, the term "high tea" often causes a bit of confusion, especially across different cultures. A colleague of mine from the UK once explained this to me. The term "high tea" doesn't actually refer to dinner in the traditional sense that most of us think of. It's a bit more specific than that. "High tea" in Britain traditionally referred to a meal that combined elements of a late afternoon tea with a hearty meal. It wasn't the formal, dainty affair that many associate with "afternoon tea," where you might have small sandwiches, scones, and pastries. Instead, "high tea" would include more substantial dishes like meat, fish, baked goods, and other more filling items, along with tea, of course. The term "high" in "high tea" isn't about the meal being fancy or upscale. It actually refers to the height of the tables where people ate this meal. While afternoon tea was traditionally served on low, comfortable parlor chairs or sofas, high tea was served at the dinner table, which is higher. This meal was more common among the working class, who would have their tea after coming home from work. It served as an early evening meal and was more practical and filling to suit the needs of laborers. So, when Brits say "high tea," they're usually referring to a substantial early evening meal that's a bit of a blend between a late afternoon tea and a hearty dinner, traditionally served at a high dining table. The mix-up often happens because the term has been somewhat romanticized and altered in other cultures, leading to the common misconception that it's a fancier or more elegant affair.

Chetan Shetty,Automation Developer (2011–present)Updated 9y Seen this man??He is Shri Shri Shivakumar Swamiji. And this is the place where he has made his abode for the past 75 years serving humanity. He has built an institution that provides free education, clothing and shelter to over 11000 kids from various parts of India. This place is located in Tumkur district of Karnataka State, India. There are no security hurdles, if you want to take his blessings. The above pic is the evening prayer the students who live here do with Swamiji, every single day. The pic below is taken from his residence. This peacock was standing directly above Swamiji's roof, and we were allowed to enter so close! He has been doing this charity work and running this trust for close to 80 years now , starting from his early 20s. Now as I write this, he is a 107 year old man who still follows the exact same routine. There are various NGOs and charitable institutions around the world, but very few that have never attempted brand merchandising or using celebrities to collect funds. But this institution has thrived over the past 8 decades purely on the basis of goodwill and the drive to serve the challenged. Visiting this place was one of the most memorable experience in spirituality, if there was any. Q4 What is the single greatest piece of career advice, and why? A4 Srinath Nalluri,M.Sc, B. Eng in Mechanical Engineering & Minor (Technopreneurship), National University of Singapore (Graduated 2020)Jul 9 During my trip to Germany in 2022, I met a friend at a hostel, who is in his late 40s.Later that evening, when we went for city sightseeing, he told me one snippet from his life. Once, I was earning 2000 rupees per month. When I wanted to ask for a raise, I realized one thing—I had been doing the same work for the past three years. Why would my boss increase my salary when he could hire someone new for a cheaper price? Anybody could learn to do this job; it isn’t that difficult. Today, everything is good, so I am still with this company. But what if the company incurs some losses in the future? I would easily be one of those people to be replaced as part of a cost-cutting exercise. That’s when I started upgrading my skills by attending computer classes in the evenings. Computers and software were very new things then. Due to the classes I had attended, when the IT postings came later that year, I was one of the few qualified candidates. Opportunity is like a pendulum; it comes as fast as it goes. So, you need to prepare yourself with the right skills before the moment it strikes you. So What do mediocre employees do that best employees don’t? They just don’t see their end coming. They live in an illusion that loyalty would always do wonders and they would never be removed from that position. However, things are different in the corporate arena. One would be thrown out mercilessly if there is no equivalent value brought in for the price he is paid. So always invest in yourself consistently to stay in the game. Q5 What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still think about to this day? A5 Derek Powell,1y A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a case of beer, any kind except Schlitz. The bartender says, "What's wrong with Schlitz, don't you like it? The man says, "I hate that shit". Last night I drank a whole case of Schlitz and blew chunks. The bartender says, "You drink a case of any beer you're going to blow chunks". You don't understand said the man, Chunks is my dog. -- To go to your groups page on the web, login to your gmail account and then click on https://groups.google.com/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
