Positive Thinking
- Thank God for what you have, Trust God for what you need.
- God always gives his best to those who leave the choices with Him.
- Man looks at outward appearances but the Lord looks within.
- Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.
- You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.
- If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.
- Love and you shall be loved.
- All people smile in the same language.
- The hug is a great gift…one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it is easy to exchange.
- Everyone needs to be loved, especially when they do not deserve it.
- Laughter is God's sunshine. Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.
- Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.
- The real measure of man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.
- The choices you make today will usually affect your tomorrow.
- Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
- Love is strengthened, by working through conflicts together.
- Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.
- The best thing the parents can do for their children is to love each other.
- To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.

- Do what you can, for whom you can, with what you have, and where you are.
Online CAT may not happen in 2009
The IIMs now say the probability of CAT going online this year is low, given the logistics involved. "We don't know yet if CAT would go online. We are in the process of finalising the vendors. In the next few weeks, we will take a call if we will go online this year or not," Pankaj Chandra, director, IIM Bangalore, told Business Standard.
"To go online or not would be decided in April. We still would have eight months, which hopefully will be enough for us. If not, we will go for the usual paper-pencil test, where we are familiar with the entire logistics of printing, advertising and hiring of rental places for writing the test," he added.
CAT online would mean taking the test on a computer which will serve questions from a local server. The IIMs have said they will need a good number of computer terminals for students to take the examination. "A whole lot of other details need to be put in place which needs time," said a senior faculty member from one of the IIMs, who did not wish to be identified.
An executive from a prominent MBA preparatory institute concurred: "We are talking about around 300,000 students taking the exam in one day. Taking an examination like CAT online would require good work from IIMs in terms of infrastructure and facilities which will not happen in a few months' time." Read complete news on Business Standard

Useful Blog Add-Ons & Tools That Improve Visitor Experience
All these 15 add-ons are free and you don't have to be a geek to use them on your site.
2. Web2PDF Online - Love this. People can download your articles as PDF files with a click. The PDFs are free of any advertising and you also get full access to stats so you know what articles downloaded most, etc. (example)
3. Zoho Creator - If you ever need to create web forms for your blog, use Zoho Creator. It lets you customize the form layouts, there are no data limits and best of all, readers can upload file attachments while submitting the form.
4. HP Blog Printing - This makes your blog printer friendly. Visitors can pick blog posts that they want to print and only the text + images get printed. Everything else including banners, sidebars, etc. are cut off from the printed version.
5. Outbrain Ratings - The is the best way to add ratings to your blog posts. Outbrain offers two extra advantages as well - your readers can find more stories related to the one they are currently reading and two, they can rate stories even from feed readers.
6. ShareThis or AddThis - They help reduce clutter on your blog by neatly arranging icons in a CSS drop-down that appears only on mouse hover. Both are similar though I prefer AddThis as it is loads faster and allows branding.
7. Google Feed Wizard - This is useful if you have to embed RSS feeds in your blog - you can create blocks in either horizontal or vertical format. If your need options other than AJAX, try these RSS widgets or the static Google Gadgets.
8. Skribit - This is again a great tool to get feedback and opinions from your site visitors.
For instance, you can put up a question like "What should I write about" or "How Can I improve" in the sidebar and readers can add opinions anonymously. They can even vote on suggestions left by other visitors. See example.
You simply copy-and-paste a small block of code into your webpage, and QuickSwitch converts all the documents in your blog into Flash Paper format hosted on Scribd. If you only link to PDF files, try PDFMeNote script.
Alternatively, you can create your own translation box with language flags or through a different translation service.
Unlike the regular "Digg This" buttons, this widget creates a list of posts from your own blog that are currently getting votes on Digg. Put it in your sidebar to highlight "recently popular" content.
FAMILY
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flow ers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
