Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with Rs. 86,400 . It carries over no balance from day to day. Every “ evening” deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every paise, of course!!!!
Each of us has such a “bank” It’s name is TIME
Every morning , it credits you with 86,400 seconds
Every night it writes off , as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose
It carries over no balance
It allows no overdraft
Each day it opens a new account for you
Each night it burns the remains of the day
If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “ tomorrow. ”
You must live in the present on today ’s deposits
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called …. the Present !!

Dhirubhai Ambani's words of wisdom
Dhirubhai Ambani. India's most enterprising entrepreneur.
He passed away on July 6, 2002, in Mumbai
'Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men'
1.True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.
2.Pursue your goal, even in the face of difficulties. Convert difficulties into opportunities. Keep your morale high, in spite of setbacks. At the end you are bound to succeed.
3.My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds. Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.
4.Dhirubhai will go one day. But Reliance's employees and shareholders will keep it afloat.
5.I have trusted people and they have put their trust in me. I have encouraged youth, and they have never let me down. I have asked my people to take initiative and to take risks. It has paid me rich dividends. I insist on excellence. This helps us to be leaders. Reliance is built on some of these principles.
6.The secret of Reliance's success was to have ambition and to know the minds of men.
7.Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep revising my vision. Only when you dream it you can do it.
We have lost the habit of thinking big
8.I dream India of becoming a great economic superpower.
9.We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best -- not only the best in India, but globally.
10.If India wants to be a great nation, we must have courage to trust. This is my sincere belief.
11.I can never fully repay the debt I owe to Mumbai. To all of you. My past was shaped in Mumbai.
12.For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win!
13.I am deaf to the word 'no.'
Ideas are no one's monopoly
14.Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no one's monopoly.
15.I consider myself a pathfinder. I have been excavating the jungle and making the road for others to walk. I like to be the first in everything I do.
16.I, as school kid, was a member of the Civil Guard, something like today's NCC. We had to salute our officers who went round in jeeps. So I thought one day I will also ride in a jeep and somebody else will salute me.
You do not require an invitation to make profits
17.Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation
18.We cannot change our rulers, but we can change the way they rule us.
19.Between my past, the present and the future, there is one common factor: Relationship and Trust. This is the foundation of our growth.
20.Give the youth a proper environment. Motivate them. Extend them the support they need. Each one of them has infinite source of energy. They will deliver.
As A G Krishnamurthy, founder of Mudra Communications, writes in his book, Dhirubhaism, about some of the Reliance founder's doctrines:
Roll up your sleeves and help. You and your team share the same DNA.
Be a safety net for your team.
Always be the silent benefactor. Don't tom-tom about how you helped someone.
Dream big, but dream with your eyes open.
Leave the professional alone!
Change your orbit, constantly!
Money is not a product by itself, it is a by-product, so don't chase it.

Below are the Interview Questions, which were asked in HR Round....No one will GET second chance to impress.... Very very Impressive Questions and Answers..... ...
Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilem ma that was once ac tually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to! pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer? He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams." Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
Question 2:What will you do if I run away with your sister?"
The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir"
Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.
Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband. Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked
Question 4:Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?
Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea" He got selected. You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before. (Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet) Reply was "TEA" ( T - alphabet) Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"
Question 5: Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"? People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc... But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing N arakasura. In Dusavata ar, Krishnavatha ar comes after Raa mavatha ar. So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!
Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files.
"Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that "sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask....." And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. ....... This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ...
