Decorate your Yahoo mail

August 17th, 2008 No comments

Its always looks nice when we send some decorated mails to friends and relatives; especially on happy occastions, b’day wishes etc.

Recently I noticed that Yahoo Mail provides stationery for all yahoo users. (How did not I notice this feature?)

How to get this?

When you compose mail, you will find a button under the Subject field called “Stationery”.

Just click Stationery to get your mail stationeries. This is one of the featuer I always look for, from Yahoo Mail.

The below images will guide you to get this feature.

Enable Rich Text in Yahoo
Enable Yahoo Stationery

There are 46 stationeries available under six different categories. In addition to that, there is a huge list of Solid Colors you can use in your mail.

Are you still using the classic Yahoo interface? Now it is the time to switch to the rich Yahoo Mail interface.

A Friendship story

August 16th, 2008 2 comments

FriendsA story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?” The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Do not value the THINGS you have in your life; but value WHO you have in your life.

Happy Independence Day
