Menaing of Why OR Y

Look at the river and think of fly
Think of flow,when birds move through sky
Think why we are born and why we die
When we are able to differentiate between me and my
If you know whom to say Good Morning and when to say Good Bye
Think if she can do why can't I
When you have answer to above all
You can find success beside by
Because you know the meaning of WHY!!

Real Test

One day a known person approached Chankya and enthusiastically started saying, “Do you know, just a while ago, I heard few things from you friend about you?”




Chankya was famous for his wisdom, knowledge and good behavior. He said to his known person, “Before I listen to what you have to say, I would like to test it through my three step testing.”



“What is this three step test?”, the person asked.



Chankya made him understand, “ Before you tell me about what my friend has said, let us test it. I call this testing – a three step test. The first test is of truth-ness. Is it sure that whatever you are going to say is a truth?”

“No”, the person dais, “ I have heard it from somewhere.”



“Okay”, Chankaya analyzed. “If you don’t know whether this is truth or not, we will do another test. The second test is for goodness. Are you going to tell me some good thing about my friend?”



“No, it’s opposite to it…..”



“Then”, Chankya asked further. “Whatever you are going to say, is not the truth, is not positive about my friend then lets do the third test. The third test is of usefulness. Whatever you are going to tell me, is that useful to me?”



“No, it’s not like that.”



Chankya then said the last thing.



“Whatever you are suppose to tell me, it is not true, its not positive and its not useful also, then why you want to tell me?”



MORALE:



ANY INFORMATION MUST BE CHECKED ON THESE THREE PARAMETERS OF – TRUTHNESS, GOODNESS AND USEFULNESS.

Answer This

This was an important question asked during an interview session by a certain company. The management actually decided to employ the person who answered this question most appropriately. There was of course no right or wrong answer to this question but it all depends on how each individual answers it. Read the question below & think of how you would answer it before you scroll down to see the ‘best’ answer given by this particular person, who of course got employed.

On a dark & stormy night with rain pouring heavily, wind blowing wildly, lightning striking fiercely & thunder sounding loudly....... It was 2am. You were driving a 2-seater car by yourself on a very lonely stretch of the countryside in this terrible storm when you came to a sheltered bus stop. There were 3 people at the bus stop.... 1 was a doctor who saved your life previously when you had a heart attack. Another was an extremely sick old man who seemed on the verge of death while the 3rd was the dream of your life, someone whom you had wanted to get to know for a long time!

The stormy weather was getting worse & the 3 people in the sheltered bus stop were getting wet from the heavy rain. Lightning continued to strike & thunder roared....... The question is: What would you do in a situation like this? Remember..... You have only a 2-seater car & will not be able to ferry all the 3 people in your car to a more sheltered place.

So, what would you do?

Ponder this situation & think of an answer before you go down for the supposedly ‘best’ answer!

There are no right or wrong to the above answers, only how the individual perceives the situation.

Most said they’ll drive the old man then followed by the doctor. Several say since the old man’s dying & they might not be able to save him by the time he reaches the hospital, they might as well drive the dream of their life and secure their future?!! So, what was the answer that impressed the interviewer so much?

This particular person said “i’ll get out of my car, pass the car key to the doctor to drive the old man to the hospital so he might be able to save him just like he saved me. Then i’ll be able to be with the dream of my life together in the sheltered bus stop.”

With this answer, that person got the job immediately. As human beings, we are naturally selfish. From all the other answers given, none of them actually thought of giving up their car.......

It is not something wrong but at times, our thoughts are too narrow Minded & we think mainly of ourselves. Hope you all learn from this & if Your interviewers ask you similar questions, you’ll be equipped & be able to answer the questions with ease.
