3. TOMATO SOUP FOR THE SOUL How to Die
Bhola
and Herolal were discussing how they would like
to die. Bhola said, "When I die, I want to
go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his
sleep. I don't want to die screaming like some of
his friends, who also died at the same
time."
Herolal asked, "How did his friends die
screaming while your grandfather died sleeping
peacefully?" Bhola replied, "His
friends were the passengers in the car he was
driving."
Life After Death
"Do
you believe in life after death?" the boss
asked one of his employees.
"Yes, sir," the clerk replied.
"That's good," the boss said.
"After you left early yesterday to go to
your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see
you."
Bholaji &
Psychiatrist
Bholaji
is speaking to his psychiatrist.
Bholaji, "I'm on the road a lot, and my
clients are complaining that they can never reach
me."
Psychiatrist, "Don't you have a phone in
your car?"
Bholaji, "That was a little too expensive,
so I did the next best thing. I put a mailbox in
my car."
Psychiatrist, "Uh ... How's that
working?"
Bholaji, "Actually, I haven't gotten any
letters yet."
Psychiatrist, "And why do you think that
is?"
Bholaji, "I figure its because when I'm
driving around, my zip code keeps changing."

4. READERS' FORUM Please email your
replies to the person asking, with a copy to us
at HREra@rediffmail.com
for publication. Email new questions to us.
How to make line
managers realise HR's importance?
In Organizations, few
line managers (even some occupying key positions)
consider HR department as unnecessary overhead.
Some also feel that HR Dept can be looked after
by anybody as an additional responsibility. Of
course as an HR personnel, we know its importance
but how do we make others realize this? Is it not
our responsibility to sell the importance of HRD
in an Organization (not only to the Top
Management but also line managers too). This will
help better implementation of HRD
initiatives.
Thanking you in advance
for your views.
S. Krishnan, krishnans@lntecc.com
Why is
"exeprience" given undue importance in
HR?
My first question in why
do we need a lot of experience in HR ? Secondly,
why its very difficult for a fresher to get a
good break in HR?

5. QUOTABLE QUOTESHuman
mind is like a parachute,
Works when it is open.

we dont try in trying times.

6. INSPIRATIONAL STORIES (Farmer's Donkey)One day a farmer's donkey fell
down into a well. The animal cried piteously for
hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to
do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the
well needed to be covered up anyway, it just
wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He
invited all his neighbors to come over and help
him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to
shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey
realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A
few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked
down the well and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of
dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
something amazing. He would shake it off and take
a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to
shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake
it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone
was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge
of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel
dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of the well is to shake it off and
take a step up. Each of our troubles is a
stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest
wells just by not stopping, And by never giving
up! Shake it off and take a step up!
