How to buy Sunglasses.

Proper sunglasses are most important during summer because it protects your eye from the harmful UV-rays that are the cause of blindness, cataracts etc.

Choosing the Right Sunglasses


# Always look for sunglasses that block 99 or 100 percent of UV radiation thereby protecting your eyes.


# Also see to it that the lenses are dark enough to filter out 75 to 90 percent of the powerful sunrays that makes you squint.


# The lenses should not cause eyestrain, headache, and, give ugly wrinkles.


# One way to ensure that the sunglasses will protect your eyes from harmful rays is to always put on your sunglasses and take a look in the mirror; if you can see your eyes, the lenses aren`t dark enough to screen out visible light.


# Use colours of your lenses that will help you see the world`s true colour, like grey, brown, or green. Avoid yellow or amber lenses they make it hard to distinguish the traffic signal.


# If you are buying plastic lenses then pick one that has a scratch-resistant coating.


# Try to go for wraparound frames since they offer the most protection by blocking light from the sides, top, and bottom.


# Go for frames that are strong, sturdy as well as light. Nylon or composite frames are light and strong; metal frames tend to be fashionable but are often heavy.


Types of Sunglasses

# Single-gradient lenses: these are permanently shaded from top to bottom, cut glare from above but allow you to see clearly below.


# Double-gradient lenses are those, which are dark on the top and bottom and lighter in the middle.


# Polarized lenses are also great for all these activities, since they block light reflected off smooth surfaces like water and pavement.


# Photo chromic lenses, since they darken in bright light in about 30 seconds but take about five minutes to lighten up again in dimmer conditions.

Don't Change the World

Don't Change the World

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country..

One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony.

He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.

There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

How to Complete Your Work?

Complete work means that whatever task you're doing is being done so perfectly and thoroughly that nothing about it is unclear, confusing or not fully thought out by you or when communicating with another.
1. If experiencing a problem:
What system needs to be installed to prevent this problem, its brother, sister and cousin, from ever coming your way again?
2. If sending an email:
Assume this person is extremely overwhelmed and barely remembers his name, much less what I emailed him about earlier, what can I include in my email to him so that he clearly understands what I am saying, what I am asking for and what's really important that he get -- whether he asked for it or not.
3. If asking for something;
a. Tell the person exactly what you need (Size, shape, name, format, version). b. Why you need it (the context, background, problem). c. How you want it (fedex, email, immediately, later, by when).
4. If instructing someone:
Assume the person is an idiot and will misunderstand what you're writing unless you spell out each step distinctly.
5. If closing the sale: Double close and triple close by:
a. Asking what concerns they have. b. Sensing and responding to what they aren't saying, questions they have. c. Being in touch with what YOU'RE feeling.
6. If asking for a change:
a. Condition the change. b. Tell the person why you're making a change. c. Tell the person what you want them to do and by when. d. Offer support/access/Q&A time.
7. If surprised by something:
a. Ask yourself why you were surprised; why didn't you know beforehand? b. Ask yourself what it means; is it good or bad; serious or not. c. What is the risk that has been added or that is potential?
8. When presented with an opportunity:
a. Ask yourself how this might bring down your business. b. Notice how you are responding -- adrenaline, greed? c. Ask yourself how this opportunity might cost you in other areas. d. Ask yourself if it's really worth it.
9. If informing someone of something:
a. Give the who, why, where, how, when, and what of it in the first paragraph. b. Ask yourself how what you are saying might be misheard and cause fear. c. Ask yourself the questions that any reasonable person would ask themselves when reading what you just wrote and then weave in these answers to your communication.
10. If reacting emotionally to a situation:
a. Ask yourself why you're reacting; what does this bring up for you? b. Ask yourself: Is the other person a jerk? And if, so, why are they in my life? c. Respond with a request that the other person act differently. d. Take responsibility for your PART in the matter. Emotional reactions don't just happen on their own. It may be a dynamic/racket that you created, even without meaning to. e. AND FINALLY, notice where you didn't do complete work somewhere along the process, that got you to this upsetting place right now. Fix that and you'll fix the upset.

HR exceutive wirtes a love letter

Dearest Ms Juliet,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the 14th of October (Sunday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 27th of July. at 1500 hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover.

Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.

The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,

Romeo (HR Executive)
