The story of Robby He was a young boy who lived with his elderly mother. His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because she longed to hear her son play for her. She sent her son to a piano teacher who took Robby in under her guidance. However, there was one small problem because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in learning. The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of his weakness. The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Robby to the teacher. One day Robby stopped attending the piano lessons. The teacher thought that he had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Robby. Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in town. She sent out circulars to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Robby who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told Robby that he was not good enough and t

This is a real episode which happened during the interview rounds of IIM for the class of 2004. Interviewer said, "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!" The candidate thought for a while and said, "My choice is one really difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the interviewer. Here is your question: "What comes first, Day or Night?" The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that one question. He thought for a while and said," It's DAY" sir!" "How?" the interviewer asked. "Sorry sir, you promised me that you would not ask me a SECOND difficult question!" He was selected for IIM . Moral : Technical Skill is the Mastery of Complexity, while Creativity is the Mastery of Simplicity.

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous . They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!" Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy'

This is a common question on css- ID vs Class. The key thing to know is that IDs identify a specific element and therefore must be unique on the page - you can only use a specific ID once per document. Many browsers do not enforce this rule but it is a basic rule of HTML/XHTML and should be observed. Classes mark elements as members of a group and can be used multiple times, so if you want to define a style which will be applied to multiple elements you should use a class instead. Also, an element can have multiple class values (by space-separating the various values), while an ID must be a single value. In this way, a single element can "inherit" from multiple classes.

It was a hot meeting at the office conference hall. All the people from the department had been called. The VP was looking much tensed. The mood was so bad. My friend asked me -"Hey, what is this meeting all about? I told - May be they will decide on when to have the next meeting. People around smiled at each other. Then the VP started talking. It was about the recent attrition rate that was so high. Around 10 people had put in their papers. All experienced guys. It was quarter end and so work was huge. If we do not complete the work on time, we need to be paying heavy penalty said the VP. The VP turned to the manager and told " Hey - take how much ever resources you want. Recruit or take them from other departments. But complete the work in another 25 days. Take people and complete it man . To this the sweet manager replied " Sir! Give me one wife and nine months and I shall show you results. Don't give me nine wives and one month. I cannot do anything

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese..... Thumb represents your Parents Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings Middle finger represents your-Self Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner & the Last (Little) finger represents your children Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (As shown in the figure below): Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later. Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives. Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (repres

When I am browsing over the net accidentally I found this site. The site says "The World's Largest Web Group for Content that relates to Life". It is true. I found most of the quotes mentioned in this site are inspirational and motivating . This is the one drop in that ocean. " As we sail through life, Don't avoid storms and rough waters. Just let it pass. Just sail. Always remember, calm sea never make skillful sailors. " Generally Humans tend to hide from the problems. But this attitude wont help them to learn anything out of life. One should face the problem courageously. One should make the problem to runaway from his site. For the people who are hiding from the problem, a positive thought... "Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. if we were to go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. we would not be as strong as we could have been and we could never fly. So the next time you faced with an obstacle, a c

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and..... Prof : So you believe in God? Student : Absolutely, sir. Prof : Is God good? Student : Sure. Prof : Is God all-powerful? Student : Yes. Prof : My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.) Prof : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good? Student : Yes. Prof : Is Satan good? Student : No. Prof : Where does Satan come from? Student : From...God... Prof : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student : Yes. Prof : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct? Student : Yes. Prof: So who created evil? (Student does not answer.) Prof : Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible thi

Ju dge: Why did you hit your husband with a chair?” Wife: “I couldn’t lift the table.” “What did one ghost say to another?” “Do you believe in people?” My friend has a fine watch dog. At any suspicious noise he wakes the dog and the dog begins to bark. They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak. “Room Service?

My wife had already seen Niagara Falls. But the psychiatrist really helped me a lot. I would never answer the phone, because I was afraid. Now I answer it whether it rings or not. It was love at first sight. Then I took a second look !! “Look, guide, here are some lion tracks.” “Good.

UNIX is simple. But It just needs a genius to understand its simplicity. --Dennis Ritchie Before software can be reusable, it first has to be usable. --Ralph Johnson Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.. --Fred Brooks Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why it works. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.

Physics Exam I have read an interesting joke in the following link : http://www.thehumorarchives.com/joke/Physics_Exam. I found it interesting and useful so i am sharing it with you all. The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen: "Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer." One student replied: "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building." This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed immediately. He appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did not display any noticeable knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it wa
