[HM:257946] The Old German Dog

An old German Shepherd dog starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,

"Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

"Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.

The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.

The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says,

"Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"

Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says...

"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"

Rest...you know what could have happened next.......

Moral of this story...

Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!

Insight and brilliance only come with age and experience. so be careful messing up with your seniors and try to stay in harmony with them :)

[HM:257945] Story: Correct it or Prevent it - The Choice is Yours

I work in a 35 storeys building where more than 100 other offices are operating too. The building has 3 floors of parking with 300+ parking spaces and each office has been allocated specific locations with Entry Access Cards to the parking area. In recent days a lot of people are parking at spots not issued to them (because of convenience of staying closer to exit gate) which causes problems for the people who want to park at their dedicated locations however those are occupied by the violators on daily basis.

"Why it is happening too much" I inquired the security staff.

"Saab kia karoon, daily 10 say 15 log ghalat parking ker datay hain"

(what can I do sir, daily 10 to 15 people park in unallocated places)

"How do you control these violators?"

"Saab, I place a paper notice on the violating car's front screen so that they read it and then don't violate again but people still repeat!"

"With a high frequency of violations you must be spending a lot of time listening to complaints (sometimes harsh comments) from the original owner of parking-space, moving from one floor to another floor, placing violation notice and arranging temporary locations for the right owners causing stress for you and depriving you to focus on your prime job which is to ensure the security, right?

"Resolving parking problems is also my job Sir, what can I do sir?"

And then I told him that there are two ways of handling problems in life. One is to fix them by taking the corrective actions (which he was already doing); the other is to prevent problems so that they do now occur in first place!!!

Later, I suggested the building management to send a notification to all the offices that any parking violation will be subject to fine of 300AED so their employees need to be aware of this new law enforcement in order to avoid any penalty.

The guard is a happy man now J

Flash!!!:

While you think you are fixing things in life, you may overlook the fact that fixing things is still draining your time, cost and energies. You can improve on your time, cost and efforts efficiency by ensuring that certain problems do not occur at first place. This simply requires root cause analysis using your proactive approach to avoid problems taking birth or at the time of first bad occurrence of event; and then ensuring the implementation of right policies and procedures to their prevention. Happiness will be yours then!

[HM:257991] Pasifik Mavisi Akvaryumdan Muhteşem Kareler

« İnsan ruhunun bir parçası, hayvan sevgisini tadana kadar uyanmaz. » |Anatole France|
--------------------------------------------
Hayvan sevgisi konusunda herkesin ilgisi ve sevgi anlayışı farklıdır. Benim için "balık" bu konuda her zaman en ön sırada olmuştur. Bir akvaryumda balıkların sağlıklı ve huzurlu bir şekilde yaşayabilmesi için;

*Akvaryumun balıkların rahatça hareket edebileceği kadar büyük olması,
*İçindeki aksesuar ve ekipmanların düzenli olarak temizlenmesi,
*Su değişim frekansı,
*Suyun içerisindeki klor, iyot, tuz ve O2 oranı,
*Akvaryuma giren güneş ışığının kontrolü ve aydınlatmada kullanılacak uygun ışık seçimleri,
*Su dengeleyici çözeltilerin düzenli olarak kullanılması,
*Yemlerin doğal olması ve içindeki protein/karbonhidrat oranları,
*Hastalık durumlarında yapılan ilaç seçimleri,
*Filtreleme ve havalandırma sistemlerinin yeterli kapasitede olması,
*Balıkların türleri ve birbirleriyle olan ilişkileri,
*Akvaryum içindeki döngünün ve ekosistemin uyumlu olması;

ama her şeyden önemlisi; bu kadar etkenin kontrol altında tutulabilmesi için çok sıkı bir dikkat ve gözlem gerekliliğidir.

Tabii ki bunca uğraş, sevgi ve emeğin sonunda karşımıza muhteşem bir görsel şölen ve huzur dolu bir sahne çıkar. Pasifik rengi mavinin içinde parıl parıl parlayan fosforlu mercanlar ile hava kabarcıklarının arasında bir o yana, bir bu yana süzülen rengarenk pullu balıkların seyredilmesi ile tüm günün yorgunluğunu bir anda bitiverir. Ayrıca bir yanda damla sakızlı Türk kahvesi yudumlanırken, öte yanda da Zeki Müren'in enfes taş plağından çıkan nağmelerin tadına doyum olmaz.

Aşağıda benim akvaryuma ait amatör fotoğrafları görebilirsiniz.
