Tale of why Japanese are always on the find of the best....


The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.

The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive.

Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.
So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

.....As soon as you reach your goals, such as finding a wonderful mate, starting a successful company, paying off your debts or whatever, you might lose your passion. You don't need to work so hard so you relax. You experience the same problem as lottery winners who waste their money, wealthy heirs who never grow up and bored homemakers who get addicted to prescription drugs. Like the Japanese fish problem, the best solution is simple. In the Early 50's, L Ron Hubbard, the Founder of Scientology, observed: "Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment".

The Benefits of a Challenge: The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a good problem. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are happy. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh: To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Recommendations:
Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help. If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind.

Don't create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference." So, put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

LIFE is beautiful

Life is beautiful.. Isn't it??.
It took long time for me to understand the truth.Leave me...
This blog is to praise the Movie Life is Beautiful and to request everyone who ever reads this blog to watch that movie.
This is the nicest movie .. i have ever seen.
Its about a life of a Jew Man and his family. He is a jolly man lives with his friend and old uncle. He falls in love with a beautiful school teacher and gets married to her. he runs a small Book shop and lives happily and gets a nice kid.
When they are living happily,suddenly they will be taken to a camp controlled by German Army and both of them will be doing factory work. This Guy will hide his son somehow in the camp and tried to save his Son's Life. He will be telling his son as this camp life is a Game.. once they score 1000 points ..he will get TANK as first prize. His Son will listen to what ever this says. He will hide under the Beds ..where they sleep in the night....Before his marriage he used to work in a hotel as waiter. where He met a Doctor..who will become his friend. In the Camp. the same doctor will come to check the Jews. The Doctor will help this Guy.. and makes this to work as a waiter in the camp. He will hide his Son there too. He will be continuing this for some months. Every time his Son asks a Question.. he will tell him that so far we have scored 600 points.. if you hide from the Cops u will get 40 Additional paoints..some things like this ..he will be keep on telling to his son. One day the war is over. That night he wants to find out his wife and along with her he wants to escape.That time he asks his son to hide in a small wodden box and tells him that we have 940 points..if you hide here safely till tomorrow morning we will get 60 points and we will win and " you should come out only when there is calm outside". He will try to find out his wife and caught by the German Army. He will be shot dead. The next day morning..he will come out when there is no sound and standing infront of the building.
now a American Tank Comes and this ltttle boy is just standing there withour fear. the small boy shouts that We WON..We WON..
he will be taken by the soldier and on the way he finds out his Mother.
There too he happily sayd that We Won.. We Won with out knowing that its a lie his father told him and with out knowing that his father is killed..

That is the sacrfice a father did to his Son..

Tears were coming out of my eyes when the movie ended.
What a touching story????.The man takes his life very humorously what ever the problem he faces...he brings up his son so well with diginity and honestly.



This is the time to remember my father for all the things he did to me.
For the boy... His father saved him from life tragedy and for 5 to 6 years. but my father did till i was 20. He had dedicated his entire life for me and my sisters.
Do we remember him?. Are we repaying him??.
Are we really making the difference in our lives he wanted???
I dont know the answer. I don't think Except money I got nothing I wanted to get...

How do I ??

Hi Readers,
I do read many blogs, in which they share their ideas or provide Info about something new or they write valuable comments about something.
But I feel that Iam the only Guy who writes something waste.
Ok .. let me come back to the waste stuff I wanted to write......

Some time back I wrote about good habits. Forget about it. I got a much bigger problem in the life.
I don't know how to control anger???. That is my Biggest Enemy in what ever things I do . I wasted many years in anger and frustration.
Need to find some solid way to control all these. We will see how it goes...

one more thing... I have decided to learn Guitar from this Saturday and would like to see how good Iam in learning something new.

Habits

Habits...
I don't really know how to develop Good habits..
Even though I used shout at my Sister Nathiya about the importance of some Good habits .. I am never committed about it.

First I wanted to study something technical everyday at home and at office. But I never followed even for a week continuously.
See.. even Iam writing this blog at office time.
and I wanted to go for jogging. That continued for a week or two. after wards ????????/

and build a good reading habit...which would enhance my knowledge in diversified fields.
This also needs to be taken.

I am trying to rebuild my faith in me.

only GOD can help me.. I believe..

3 MISTAKES OF MY LIFE

This is not about the mistakes I committed in my life . If I have to count them.. they are countless.. Infinite.
Its about the Book by Chetan Bhagat I read. I love his books .
They are wonderful.
It makes me addictive. I get deep in to the book and starts thinking about the characters.. when I am not reading it.
Probably this is one of the book I completed so soon.
I have hell lot of technical books which I haven't even read 10 pages for years.

Its a wonderful fiction book talks about 3 friends.
one wants to become a businessman.another one is a cricket lover. Another one is helping them to set up a Sports shop in a temple complex where his father is a priest and his uncle is a trustee.
Then Businessman falls in love with Cricket Lover's Sister and have affair too. Temple trustee wants all these 3 to part of his Hinduthuva activities. Cricket Lover coaches to a Muslim Boy who has in born talent in hitting the ball to boundaries.. In the mean time earth quake comes and shakes their proposed new shop.
At last Godhra train accident in which Hindus are killed.( trustee's son is killed There).He want to take revenge and wants to kill the Muslim boy. All the 3 Heroes of us saved him. but the Temple Guy is killed in the fight.
As the Cricket lover comes to know about his Sister's love .. he gets separated from his Friend.
They separates their shop and runs their business separately. After a year or two... this Business man Friend tries to commit suicide, but will be saved.
and the friends meet at last and lovers join hands...

Happy Ending....

A wonderful book to read.

I wish If Chetan bhagt can write a book with out the FOUR LETTER bad word???. even some of my Colleagues pointed out. Because a good book should not be stamped as a Adult book.
We should not compare out culture with Western as there alll the books will have those bad word.

Any way I enjoyed the book?? What about you??

one more funny thing is ..
As soon as My Colleagues saw this book in my office cubic...they changed the title to " 3 Mistakes of Gurusamy's life" and pointed out 3 mistakes.
Recruiting me in to my company ( SYMBOL - MOTOROLA)
working under my Manager
Working in my Present Team ( MCD).

It was fun for 2 to 3 days.

Guys.. After R.K Narayan.. Chetan Bhagat is the author I admire for his writing skills ( Simple English and easy to understand the meaning)

Happy Reading !!!!

KURUVI

One of the worst movies of Vijay..

Guys..
Last Sunday I watched Vijay's latest Movie KURUVI which means bird in genral in Tamil.
My Friend SUMU's father had come to Bangalore ti visit him. We had been to TOTAL Madiwala then we decided to visit BALAJI Vivek Nagar for KURUVI movie. We thought Director Dharani will not make us to regret our decision. Even while traveling SUMU's fahter was very much reluctant and wanted to come back to our house and take rest. But I told him that dad.. come and see how Bangalore's theater is and the response for a Tamil Movie.
In Theater there was another HIGH drama happened. BALAJI is the only theater in Bangalore I see..where theater owners themselves selling Block tickets. We paid Rs 100 for a BALCONY ( original Prices Rs 60). Another Guy was asking RS 100 for ordinary seats...
I tried to use my Intelligence ( ????.. I don't know whether its there or not), but I failed to impress the GUY and paid Rs 600 for 6 tickets.

Thent he Movie started.
Usually I was never a FAN of any Actor in Tamil. I didn't even Watched SIVAJI in Theater.
I like Rajini and Ajith, Surya and vikram.But I started supporting Ajith now a days.
After 5 minutes of watching the movie,I thought If the movie movie moves like this till the end I would become VIJAY's Fan. Becaue The first 5 min was full of fun and I really enjoyed it.
Eventhough I generally don't like VIJAY.. I can not keep on neglecting him.. A GUY who is next to RAJINI in Box Office Collection.

But I felt I was wrong in my decision and decided to be with Ajith ( THALA ) here after.
Till he becomes KURUVI in the film it was good. then everything has gone bad.
I thought at least after Interval movie will be good.
But it was full of Thrisha worst dances and a Typicl Telugu Movie. Iam not cursing Telugu movies here. i do like some of the good movies there too.
When the movie is moving very seriously at Chennai or at a village. I dont like hero and heroine dancing at Africa or Malaysia or wearing skimy clothes.

That is too some scenes are exact copy of a Telugu movie. Good Villians are also given worst roles to play.

Its not at all a movie to watch for.
Even the songs fail to impress the viewers. normally in Vijay's movies will have Good Songs and great dance performances.That is also missing here.

KURUVI is SICK.

Please avoid KURUVI...
I hope only god should take another form and save us from making mistakes like this.
We will eagerly wait for DASAVATHARAM to impress..

With Love,
Guru
