3. Tomato Soup for the Soul

A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.

In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket."

The man leans out and with a glint in his eye said "I've got a better idea ... let's pretend we're married."

"Why not," giggles the woman.

"Good," he replies. "Get your own blanket."

7. Credo - sent by Priyanka Gupta

Hi

I am Priyanka Gupta, working at Birlasoft. I am a member of HR Era also. To Repeat My personal Details : I have taken admission in SCMHRD, Pune for MBA in HR, and will be leaving for the same soon. Here are the quotes That I want to contribute:

* There is no such thing as a self-made man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the makeup of our character and our thoughts, as well as our success. -- Adams, George Matthew

* I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind. -- Shaw, George Bernard

* Many people have the ambition to succeed in their work; they may even have special aptitude for their job. And yet they do not move ahead. Why? Perhaps they think that since they can master the job, there is no need to master themselves. -- Stevenson, John

* What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little. -- Leszczynski Stanislaus

* Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. -- Vaclav Havel

* The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor; he took my measurement anew every time he saw me, while all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me. -- George Bernard Shaw

thanks and regards

Priyanka
