Classic Dilbertisms
- Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
- I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
- Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
- Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.
- Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.
- I DON'T HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM, YOU HAVE A PERCEPTION PROBLEM.
- My reality cheque bounced.
- On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
- Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.
- A pat on the back is only a few inches from a kick in the butt.
- After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
- The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
- If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
- When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
- Following the rules will not get the job done.
- Only the mediocre are at their best all the time.
- There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
- If at first you don't succeed......skydiving isn't for you.
- Life is a waste of time; time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life.
- When everything is coming your way......you're in the wrong lane.

Skopun: Power Blog
I believe our existence has a higher purpose-- The idea behind this weBlog is to discuss LIFE & POWER PRINCIPLES, share stories that coach and inspire. This blog will also spur the leader's instincts that are genetically encoded in us. As King Solomon said " Iron makes iron sharp, so a man makes sharp his friend" (Prov. 27:17 BBE)

A Defect-Tolerant Computer Architecture: Opportunities for Nanotechnology
James R. Heath, Philip J. Kuekes, Gregory S. Snider, R. Stanley Williams
Teramac is a massively parallel experimental computer built at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories to investigate a wide range of different computational architectures. This machine contains about 220,000 hardware defects, any one of which could prove fatal to a conventional computer, and yet it operated 100 times faster than a high-end single-processor workstation for some of its configurations.

Thought for the day
Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice: "Nothing works and they don't know why"

Can You Beat This Logic ?
A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court. But the custody of their children posed a problem. The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.
The man also wanted custody of his children. The judge asked for his side of the story too. After a long moment of silence, the man rose chair and replied: "Judge, when I put a dollar into a vending machine, and a Pepsi comes out, does the Pepsi belong to me or to the machine?"
The man won !!!

Unconditional Love
Guys...this article is close to something I've always beleived in & I thought it's worth a read...

Unconditional Love Brings Joy to All
SWAMI CHAITANYA KEERTI
All of us need to believe that we are loved and are lovable. We begin life secure in our mothers love, swaddled in our innocence. Love was never in question, but over time, we become increasingly unsure...
In The Path to Love , Deepak Chopra says that by bringing spirituality back into our relationships, we can discover a world of depth and meaning. He says: You were created to be completely loved and to be completely lovable for your whole life.
The problems begin when we start taking love for granted and get possessive about life. We deny freedom and space to the people we love our children, spouse, friend. Unknowingly, we start killing our love. And we create bondage for ourselves, too, when we curb the freedom of the person we love.
Osho says: Freedom is a higher value than love. Love stifles and gets stifled when it encroaches upon the space of another. Love blossoms in the space of freedom, in breeziness. Once we realise the nature of true love, we no longer fall in love we actually rise in love.
At this point love becomes unconditional. We give our love and feel grateful to all those who receive it, because this way we unburden ourselves.
Osho says when the clouds are full of rain water, they have to shower. It is their need. Similarly, when we become full of love it is our need to give our love to one and all. Then we are not concerned whether or not we receive love in return. We simply enjoy giving.
Conditional love is attachment; it is bondage, so it is also an illusion. We say we want to be free but are we brave enough to be alone? We fear loneliness. We fear being unoccupied. We started out looking for love, but maybe we were really looking for attachment. Our need may have been attachment all along. Love was the way to attain it, the bait.
Unconditional love will not become attachment. But the moment you say to your partner, Love only me, you begin to possess her. And in possessing, youre making your lover into an object to be used.
Immanuel Kant said that to treat another person as a means is an immoral act. In other words, if you see your lover as being there for your gratification, or to fulfil your sexual desires, or to provide something else for you... youre reducing your partner to an object.
You are in bondage so inevitably, youll eventually desire freedom. You will be bored by what you have and yearn for what you dont have. Or you could try to be free even while possessing your partner, causing a struggle.
Osho says, I want to be a free person, and yet I want you to be possessed by me; you want to retain your freedom and still possess me this is the struggle... We must remain individuals and we must move as independent, free consciousness. We can come together, we can merge into each other, but no one possesses. Then there is no bondage and then there is no attachment.
Love becomes a blessing, a real celebration when love breathes fresh air free from possessiveness and jealousy. There should be no judgment, no blame, no expectations and no attempts to control.
The soul can grow only in freedom and unconditional love provides freedom. Osho says: My message is beyond biology and theology... Love is nothing but sharing of your consciousness with as many people as possible; not only with people, but with animals, trees, birds, clouds, stars.
