Easy solutions for complicated problems

Some years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco. 

Mensa, is an international organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.

Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local cafe. When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt.

How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly -- this was a job for Mensa minds.

The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally, came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.

They then called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution.

"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker"

But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted & said.

"Oh -- sorry about that."  

She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. 

There was dead silence at the Mensa table.

For most of the problems there are simple solutions but it is our “Brilliant” minds that complicate every simple solution. Take a relook at life, you will find non issues mostly! And wherever there are issues there will be easy solutions.

Two minute management course.

Two minute management course.

Lesson One

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit, and ate it.

Management Lesson - To be sitting doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson Two

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson - Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Three

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realise how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lessons - 

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. 

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends the two-minute management course.

Lesson - forgive and move on

Beautiful...👌 Must read:

 Once, a Junior School teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each tomato will be given a name of the person whom that child hates. Like this, the number of tomatoes will be equal to the number of persons they hate. 

 On a decided day, the children brought their tomatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had three and some had even five tomatoes . 

 Teacher said they have to carry tomatoes with them everywhere they go for a week. 

 As the days passed the children started to complain about the spoiled smell of tomatoes . Students who had many tomatoes complained it was very heavy to carry.

 Teacher asked, "How did you feel this one week?" 

 Children complained of smell & heavy weight of the tomatoes .

 Teacher said, "This is very similar to what you carry in heart when you don't like some people. 

Hatred makes heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred everywhere. 

If you can't bear the smell of spoiled tomatoes for a week, imagine the impact on your heart that you carry throughout  life." 

 Heart is a beautiful garden that needs regular cleaning of unwanted weeds. 

Forgive those who have angered you. 

This makes room for storing good things..

Have a blessed life... 😊
