Subject: [LeadersWorkshop] The Salt & Sugar of Life

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..."

Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.

That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet."

Pass this to everyone because love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go but HOLD ON!! ♥♥♥

[LeadersWorkshop] The Ripples [Nice Story] [1 Attachment]

[Attachment(s) from Deepak Singh included below]

The Ripples

A man was sitting by a lake. He was throwing small pebbles into it from time to time. A young boy happened to cross by. He was intrigued to see that after every few minutes or so, the man would toss a pebble into the lake.

The boy went up to the man and said, "Good pastime, this stone throwing, he?" "Hmmm," said the man. He seemed to be deep in thought and obviously did not wish to be disturbed.

Sometime later, the man said softly, "Look at the water, it is absolutely still."

The boy said, "Yeah, it is."

The man tossed a pebble into the water and continued, "Only till I toss a pebble into it now do you see the ripples?"

"Yeah," said the boy, "they spread further and further."

"And soon, the water is still again," offered the man.

The boy said, "Sure, it becomes quiet, after a while."

The man continued, "What if we want to stop the ripples? The root cause of the ripples is the stone. Let's take the stone out. Go ahead and look for it." The boy put his hand into the water and tried to take the stone out.

But he only succeeded in making more ripples. He was able to take the stone out, but the number of ripples that were made in the process were a lot more than before.

The wise man said, "It is not possible to stop the movement of the water once a pebble has been thrown into it. But if we can stop ourselves from throwing the pebble in the first place, the ripples can be avoided altogether! So too, it is with our minds. If a thought enters into it, it creates ripples. The only way to save the mind from getting disturbed is to block and ban the entry of every superfluous thought that could be a potential cause for disturbance. If a disturbance has entered into the mind, it will take its own time to die down. Too many conflicting thoughts just cause more and more disturbances. Once the disturbance has been caused it takes time to ebb out. Even trying to forcibly remove the thought may further increase the turmoil in the mind. Time surely is a great healer, but prevention is always better than cure."

Before you allow a thought or a piece of information to enter your mind, put it through the triple filter test of authenticity, goodness and value.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH LOVE,PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS. O:-) angel

HAPPY NEW YEAR. :) happy

Regards,

Deepak Singh

[LeadersWorkshop] Fw:~~~~~~~~~~~..Nice story on Giving.. Hero of the Town

Hero of the Town

> *Two Choices**
>
> What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line,
> there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the

>
> At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning

>
> 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does,
> is done with perfection.
>
> Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot
> understand things as other children do.**
>
> Where is the natural order of things in my son?'**

> The audience was stilled by the query.

> The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was
> mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to
> realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other
> people treat that child.'
>
> Then he told the following story:

> Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing
> baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most
> of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a fatherIalso

understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a
> much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others
> in spite of his handicaps.

> I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much)
> if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're
> losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be
> on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

> Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a
> team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart.
> The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.
>
> In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was
> still behind by three.
>
> In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the
> right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic
> just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I
> waved to him from the stands.
>
> In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.
>
> Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on
> base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

> At this juncture, do the others let Shay bat and give away their chance to
> win the game?
>
> Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but

> However, as Shay stepped up to the
>
> plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning

> in softly so Shay could at least make contact.
>
> The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.
>
> The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards
> Shay.
>
> As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball
> right back to the pitcher.

> The game would now be over.
>
> The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the
> ball to the first baseman.
>
> Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

> Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head,
> out of reach of all team mates.
>
> Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to
> first!
>
> Run to first!'
>
> Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.
>
> He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

> Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'
>
> Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and
> struggling to make it to the base.
>
> By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the
> ball. The smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the
> hero for his team.
>
> He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he

>
> Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled

> All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

> Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by

[LeadersWorkshop] Old story with new moral...

There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home. After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on.

When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor. They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor

This story is reflecting on our life...many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load. Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize.

We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness. We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream ...... a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.

So what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.

Mark Cuban On

Why You Should Never Listen To Your Customers

A great quote from technology luminary Alan Kay that every entrepreneur needs to remember: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

I'm working with a company that at one point had a product that was not only best in its class, but also technically far ahead of its competition. It created a better way of offering its service, and customers loved it and paid for it.

Then it made a fatal mistake. It asked its customers what features they wanted to see in the product, and they delivered on those features. Unfortunately for this company, its competitors didn't ask customers what they wanted. Instead, they had a vision of ways that business could be done differently and, as a result, better. Customers didn't really see the value or need until they saw the new product. When they tried it, they loved it.

So what did "my" company do when it saw what its competitor had done? It repeated its mistake and once again asked its customers what they wanted in the product. Of course the customer responded with the features that they now loved from the other product.

The company didn't improve its competitive positioning.

It put itself in a revolving door of trying to respond to customer requests.

To make matters worse, resources and brainpower that could be applied

to "inventing the future" were instead being used to catch up with features

that locked the company into the past.

Entrepreneurs need to be reminded that it's not the job of their customers to know what they don't. In other words, your customers have a tough enough time doing their jobs. They don't spend time trying to reinvent their industries or how their jobs are performed. Sure, every now and then you come across an exception. But you can't bet the company on your finding that person among your customers.

Instead, part of every entrepreneur's job is to invent the future. I also call it "kicking your own ass."

Someone is out there looking to put you out of business. Someone is out there who thinks

they have a better idea than you have. A better solution than you have.

A better or more efficient product than you have.

If there is someone out there who can "kick your ass" by doing it better, it's part of your job as the owner of the company to stay ahead of them and "kick your own ass" before someone else does.

Your customers can tell you the things that are broken and how they want to be made happy.

Listen to them.

Make them happy.

But don't rely on them to create the future road map for your product or service.

That's your job. (credit to Mark Cuban).

[LeadersWorkshop] Fw:~.Thought Provoking..!!!..: Treatment for(cancer doctors) diagnosed with cancer

Treatment for(cancer doctors) diagnosed with cancer

Cancer treatment is about making money...provoking thoughts

I posted this article, which may have some provoking thoughts:

The below is absolutely 100% true and as a doctor I have been telling people this for 15 years now. No one wants to listen. Folks need to wake up. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a year industry in the United States alone and estimated to be a 600 billion dollar a year industry worldwide.

A successful cancer case according to the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology means that the person survives for 5 years. Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology admit that a person is likely to surv ive cancer for 7 to 10 years even if they do absolutely NOTHING. Of course, only the doctors get those magazines - not you, the cancer patient.

Alternative medicine's track record of curing cancer is 10 times higher than that of conventional medicine. Note that I say CURE.

Remember another thing. A TUMOR is just a symptom. It is not the cause of cancer.

Science is cause and effect. Remove the cause and the effect disappears.

I am in my third battle with cancer right now. I have not done any chemotherapy or radiation or surgery for any of my bouts with cancer. I survived leukemia, I survived Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and now I have Glioblastoma which is supposedly an incurable form of b rain cancer. I was given two months to live 5 months ago.

I have been using Chinese herbs, high doses of vitamin C, acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy and nutritional changes. Yes, at first it got worse. It had metastasized to my lymph nodes, my lungs and my bones. As of this week, I am happy to say that there is no evidence now of any cancer in my lymph system or my bones. I had 6 tumors in my lungs, now there are only two. The tumors in my brain have shrunken tremendously. I never did any of their chemo, radiation or surgery.

Here is a very interesting statistic that you can only have access to by being a doctor. Every year more than 1,000 doctors oncologists (cancer doctors) are diagnosed with cancer. Less than 10% of them choose to do the treatment that they have been giving to their patients. Sort of like the fact that less than 25% of all pediatricians vaccinate their own children because of the fact that the risk of sudden death or serious side effects from the vaccination is higher than the risk of catching the disease one is being vaccinated for. This is not bullshit people - it is truth.

Medicine is about money, not about your health and the system traps people, especially the elderly, disabled and poor into a deadly treatment regime that p uts them in an early grave. Meanwhile, all the jet set billionaires are flying off to Europe and paying big bucks for alternative treatments and getting cured.

Does alternative medicine work all the time? No. Of course not. Nothing works all the time. But there is a reason for that. You don't die until it's your time to die. Nothing can make you live longer than that time.

However quality of life comes into play. Those cancer patients who use alternative therapies for their cancer, yet still die from the illness, suffer a much higher quality of life. They die able to spend time with their families and even recognize their family members. They don't become emaciated like those who do chemotherapy or radiation do and rarely is a person who goes under the treatment of chemotherapy able to recognize anyone for the last few days of their lives. Their bodies become ravaged to the point that you can't even recognize them either. They suffer at a much much higher rate and they have one let down after another as doctors tell them, ahhh - it's looking good, only to tell them on the next visit it's looking worse, you need more chemo and radiation.

What is criminal about this is that YOUR DOCTORS KNOW THIS.

I took an oath as a physician. I have always followed it. T hat has certainly not made me successful financially as a doctor because I have consistently refused to go along with conventional medicine's bullshit.

Read the below carefully. It may indeed make a difference in your life.
Rick Cantrell, PhD, MD, PsyD

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

              Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

              1. < /FONT>Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer
                   cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have
                   multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
                   that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after
                   treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the
                   cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable
                   size.

              2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a
                   person's lifetime.

              3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer                   cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and
                   forming tumors.

              4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has
                   nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
                   but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

              5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
                    diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
                    and by including supplements will strengthen the immune
                    system.

     &n bsp;        6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing
                   cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells
                   in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can
&n bsp;                 cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

              7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars
                   and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

              8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often
                 &n bsp; reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of
                   chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor
                   destruction.

              9. When the body has too much toxic burden from
                   c hemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either
                   compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb
                   to various kinds of infections and complications.

              10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to
                     mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
                     Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other
                     sites.

              11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer
                     cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

             *CANCER CELLS FEED ON:-

              a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are
                 ; made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural
                  substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses , but only in
                  very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make
                  it white in color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea
& nbsp;                 salt.

              B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
                   gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting
                   off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer
                   cells are being starved.

              c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based
                   diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other
                   meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock
                ;    antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all
                   harmful, especially to people with cancer.

            d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole
                 grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into
                 an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked
                  food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live
                 enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
                 cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance
                 growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building
                 healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most
                 vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw
                  vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at
                 temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..

            e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high
                 caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer
                 fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or
                 filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap
                 water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

            12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of
                   digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the
                   intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic
&nb sp;                 buildup.

            13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By
                        refraining from or eating less meat it frees more
                    enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and
                   allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

            14. Some supplements build up the immune system
                   (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,
                   EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy
                   cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known
                   to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's
                   normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or
                   unneeded cells.

            15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.
          ;          A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior
                  be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put
                  the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to
                  have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy
                  life.

            16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated
                   environment. Exercising daily, a nd deep breathing help  to
                   get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen
                   therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer
                   cells.

            1. No p lastic containers in micro.

            2. No water bottles in freezer.

            3. No plastic wrap in microwave..

            Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
