Vijay For Victory

One evening a scholar was addressing the participants on the concept of work culture. One of the participants asked the following question;

“I am a senior manager of Materials Department and I joined an organization 25 years ago as an Engineer Trainee and over the last 25 years I have gone through every experience in the organization.

During the initial part of my career, the job was very challenging and interesting.

However, all those exciting days are gone since I do not find my joy any more interesting because there is nothing new in my job. I am now feeling bored because I am doing a routine job.

However, Sir, I am living in the same house for over forty years, I am the son for the same parents for over forty five years, I am the father for the same children for the past ten years and the husband for the same lady for the past twenty years !( the toughest job!)

In these personal roles I do not feel bored Please tell me why I am bored of the routine in the office and not in the house?”

The response from Scholar was very interesting and convincing. He asked the executive the question:

“Please tell me for whom does your Mother cook ?”

The executive replied that obviously the mother cooks for others.

Then the Scholar said that the mother “Serves” others and because of this service mindedness, she is not feeling tired or bored. But in an office,we “Work” and not “Serve”. Anything we consider, as service will not make us feel bored. That is difference between Serving and Working.

He asked the executive to consider his work as service and not merely a work !! This was a very interesting analysis!! Whenever you put a larger context around your work and see a broader meaning for your work, you will take interest in your work and it will make a very big difference in your internal energy.

Attitude Matters !!!

A fresher joined a big MNC as a trainee. On his first day, he dialed the pantry and shouted into the phone, “Get me a coffee, quickly!”

The voice from the other side responded, “You fool you’ve dialed the wrong extension! Do you know who you’re talking to, dumbo?”

“No,” replied the fresher.

“It’s the Managing Director of the company, you fool!”

The trainee shouted back, “And do you know who YOU are talking to, you fool?”

“No.” replied the Managing Director indignantly.

“Good!” replied the trainee and put down the phone.

Once a lady was driving her car in great speed on the motorway. All of a sudden she gets pulled over for speeding.
The lady and the cops.

Lady: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma’am, you were speeding.
Lady: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Lady: I’d give it to you but I don’t have one.
Officer: Don’t have one?
Lady: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see… Can I see your vehicle registration papers please?
Lady: I can’t do that.
Officer: Why not?
Lady: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Lady: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Lady: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see

The Officer looks at the lady and slowly backs away to his car and calls other cops for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The lady steps out of her vehicle.
Lady: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Lady: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.

The lady opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma’am?
Lady: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The lady digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Lady: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

Interviewer said “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!”

The boy thought for a while and said, “My choice is one really difficult question.”

“Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me this. What comes first, Day or Night?”

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, “It’s the DAY sir!”

“How?” the interviewer asked,

“Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!”

Do I still need to say that he was selected for IIM!

A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon in his shop.

The Dr was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come to take a look at his car.

The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hello Doctor! Please come over here for a minute.”

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, “So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind them, put in new parts and when I finish this will work as a new one. So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work? “

The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic…

“Try to do it when the engine is running”
