Expert








Some people wanted to make some quick money, and hit upon the idea to have a Charlie Chaplin look alike contest.

There were many entries, and on a lark, Charlie Chaplin himself entered the contest anonymously. 
Well, what do you know? The experts on the panel of judges placed Charlie Chaplin fourth.

Is marriage good for men?

Socrates the great philosopher had a difficult marriage. 

A student of Socrates, desired to get married but was not sure what to do. So he came to Socrates and asked' "Master I wish to get married, will it be good for me?"

Socrates replied, 
"If you find a good woman and she makes you happy, then I suppose that is good for you. 
However if she does not make you happy, then you will become a philosopher, and that is not a bad thing".



It is said that, 

"A man is incomplete until he is married, then he is finished".

Change


Many people talk about the need to change. 

Unfortunately those who are in charge or have the power or control resources, rarely feel the need to change. 


Few people realise that "We must change or we will be changed".

Change is enveloping us every moment and everywhere, at an increasingly  rapid pace and few amongst us are prepared for its march. 

To cope Alvin Toffler the futurist suggests that, we must, Learn, Un-learn and Re-learn continuously.




"Change is the end result of all true learning"
