Synergy is The Seed For Success !!!!
GOOD ONE
One of the real secrets of success is the power of partnerships. When you surround yourself with good people who share your common goal – the synergy created makes each person stronger. This funny little story that is a good reminder of that. Enjoy!
An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area.
Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse, named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, “Pull, Nellie, pull!” Buddy didn’t move.
Then the farmer hollered, “Pull, Buster, pull!” Buddy didn’t respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, “Pull, Coco, pull!” Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, “Pull, Buddy, pull!”
And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious.
He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.
The farmer said, “Oh, Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try.”

See Who Is Having the Last Laugh !!!!
A rich man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet beagle along for company. One day, the beagle starts chasing butterflies and before long discovers that he is lost.
So, wandering around, he notices a tiger heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having him for lunch. The beagle thinks, “I’m in trouble!” Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the tiger is about to leap, the beagle exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious tiger. I wonder if there are any more around here!”
Hearing this, the tiger halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. “Whew,” grunts the tiger. “That was close. That weird creature nearly had me.” Meanwhile, a monkey, 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 tiger. So, off he goes.
But the beagle saw him heading after the tiger with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the tiger, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the tiger. The tiger, furious at being made a fool of, says, “Here monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving little thing.”
Now the beagle sees the tiger coming with the monkey 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 beagle says: “Where’s that darn monkey? I sent him off over an hour ago to bring me another tiger!”
When he turned around… he was alone.

Message For The Day..Do.Service with application of Mind and Cheerfully….
Many social workers visit hospitals to do service. Most of the work done, like fanning patients, writing letters for them and singing bhajans, appears mechanical. It is done as that is what is defined as service and done without paying heed to what the patient really needs! That is incorrect. Service must be done with the full cooperation of the mind, gladly, intelligently, and reverentially. The patient should not feel disgusted at the fussiness of the social worker, but indeed look forward to their arrival, as that of someone near and dear! If you do not like one type of service, do not engage in it. Do not burden your mind by the unpleasantness of a task. Work done mechanically is like the flame of an oil-less wick. Your mental enthusiasm is the oil, pour it and the lamp will burn clear and long.
Age No Bar !!!!….Watch This 86 year old “s Acrobatics !!!!
Still Got it At 86!
Age isn’t the boundary, its your mind. Where there is a will, there is a way. Even at the age of 86!

Breathtaking Images Captured By Canadian Astronaut From ISS !!!
Morning has broken: Breathtaking image of the first light of dawn creeping over the horizon is captured by astronaut
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has wowed Twitter with his pictures taken from the International Space Station
His latest image is of dawn breaking over the south west of the United States last week.
A breathtaking image of the moon rising above the United states as dawn breaks have been posted on Twitter by an astronaut on the International Space Station.
The stunning shot, which bears striking resemblance to the beginning of the opening credits of a Universal film, was posted by Canadian Chris Hadfield who has gained a cult following on Twitter for his images of the Earth from space.
The image was shot over southwestern America and will be one of Hadfield’s last tweets from space after he announced that his return to earth will commence later this month.
One of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s latest pictures from the International Space Station shows a darkened south-eastern United States just before dawn, with the moon rising above
Some of the snapshots of Astronaut Chris Hadfield…..
Unmistakable: The Thames can be clearly seen snaking its way through the giant urban sprawl of London in this picture
Commander of the International Space Station, Chris has gained an army of followers on Facebook and Twitter with his daily updates from space which feature beautiful pictures and news on the progress of the various missions he and his colleagues carry out.
Hadfield has been taking the Twitterverse by storm from aboard the ISS, which orbits the Earth at 8km a second, since he arrived back on December 21.
The astronaut, who has also posted a variety of amusing videos showing what it is like to shave, vomit and brush your teeth in space, uses a long lens camera to capture the stunning detail of the Earth.
Among his favourite places to photograph is the Sahara in Africa and he explains that he waits until the sun is directly over the desert to get the best shot.
He says: ‘The beauty of space station, though, is if it’s not here this time, tomorrow it might be, or maybe a month from now.
‘There’s not a race to get a picture. You can be patient, like a hunter.’
He says that it’s not Instagram, it’s ‘Space-a-gram’ and that the key steps are: ‘Focus, frame, and fire’.
He added: ‘We orbit 400km above the earth, so if you want to get a good detailed picture of something you need a long lens. I have one velcroed to the wall.’
Chris uses a special setting on his camera to deal with the bright glare of light from the Earth against the pitch black backdrop of space.
He takes pictures in as high a resolution as possible, so his camera’s memory card gets full very quickly.
The first Canadian to walk in space, Commander Hadfield, 53, a former air force fighter pilot, has previously flown two Space Shuttle missions in 1995 and 2001.
Hadfield has amassed 226,000 fans on Facebook and 740,000 followers on Twitter.
He announced that his ‘fiery fall’ to earth will commence on May 13 after the arrival of a new Russian commander.

Best Friends Forever!!!!..A Chimp and a Bear Cub !!!!!
- Five-month-old grizzly bear cub and 16-month-old chimp are firm friends
- But Bam Bam the bear will soon grow to nine times the size of chimp pal
Like most youngsters, their play can get a little wild. But five-month-old grizzly bear Bam Bam and 16-month-old chimpanzee Vali are the most unlikely friends.
For while together they resemble a pair of cuddly toys, they would normally live on different continents.
And when they grow up, Bam Bam is likely to be about nine times the size of his chimp pal. But the young males have been inseparable since being introduced at the Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina, where they were born.
Visitors delight in watching them wrestling and playing tag. In the wild, Bam Bam would live in the wilds of North America, while Vali’s natural home is the jungle of central Africa.
Park owner Bhagavan Antle said staff decided to see whether the pair would hit it off when Bam Bam reached the same size as Vali – even though bears grow much faster than chimps.
‘We got them out there playing on a sunny day and they went on and on for hours,’ he said. ‘Neither of them wanted to quit. They would lie down and fall asleep at our feet, wake back up and start wrestling again.’

Giant Rubber Duck In Hong Kong !!!!
Ahem, excuse me Captain, but I think we’re being followed. This is the world’s largest rubber ducky, seen here floating around Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. Designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, its aim is to “spread joy around the world.” The duck has also been caught ducking off in Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and Osaka, Japan. Where it’ll be next is anyone’s guess, but Hofman says he just wants to make people smile. “The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation,” he wrote on his website. “The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!” [Daily Mail]
Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman says “Rubber Duck” reminds grownups of their childhood.!!!!!
A visit from a giant, inflated “Rubber Duck” turned Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour into a bathtub on Thursday.
Thousands of Hong Kong citizens looked on as the 54-foot inflatable structure made its long-awaited entrance into the city’s harbor, CNN reports. The highly anticipated arrival came after two weeks of intense hype from local media outlets.
For Florentijn Hofman, the Dutch artist behind the beloved Rubber Duck, Hong Kong’s response to the floating art display was nothing short of overwhelming. The 36-year-old told CNN he was happy to be visiting Hong Kong, though his inflatable friend got there first.
“I’ve wanted to come for years — and my duck made it here before me!” Hofman said.
The yellow duck came to rest beside the harbor’s Ocean Terminal, with a brass band and thousands of camera shutters providing the soundtrack.
“Hong Kong has been changed forever,” Hofman said, as Rubber Duck became a temporary part of the city’s skyline.
The giant bath toy is quite the world traveler. Since beginning its international journey, Rubber Duck has made appearances in Osaka, Sydney, San Paolo and Amsterdam, CNN reports. It will remain in Hong Kong’s harbor until June 9, and then it heads to the United States.
Despite the duck’s youthful evocations, Hofman insists that his art project is for grownups, too.
“I see it as an adult thing. It makes you feel young again. It refers to your childhood when there was no stress or economic pressure, no worry about having to pay the rent,” Hofman told CNN.
While the duck has elicited laughs and delighted responses from onlookers, Hofman acknowledges that his project isn’t for everyone.
“If it makes you smile, then that’s OK, but maybe it makes you cry because of the urban environment. I make work not to give answers but to question things.”
The father of three initially conceived the art display in 2001, but he’s not done thinking about it just yet.
“It’s getting complex because I have so many thoughts about it and so many minutes of talking and thinking about it,” he told CNN.
Hofman urged everyone to formulate their own opinion on the free art display.
“Be amazed, be creative. Look at it with your eyes and absorb the energy of the work in this location,” he said.
When it finishes its stay in Hong Kong, Rubber Duck will be headed to the United States, but Hofman isn’t giving away the exact location.
“In the States, it will stay a secret until the last week.”
