WHY ME?

Arthur Ashe,

the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got
due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of whichconveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
The world over --
50M children start playingtennis,
5M learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000come to the circuit,
5,000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to semi final,
2 to the finals,
When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD"Why me?".
And today in pain I! should not be asking GOD "Why me?"
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure Keeps you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing,
But only God Keeps you Going.....
Keep Going.....

AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 ....If you haven't, add 1755.6.

Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

DO YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTING?

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my friends, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me... Look around", He said.
"Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
He said. "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit."
He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."
"Don"t compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful." "Your time will come",
God said to me. "You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

Never, Never, Never Give up.

PLAB NOT NEEDED FOR INDIAN DOCS!

Hi Friends,

Drs from India would be able to work in UK without going through IELTS and PLAB
This would be case to case basis only reputed institutes would be enrolled
British doctors may similarly work in India -Mr Smith may eventually be found in Rampur Dist Hospital doing a locum !!!
This will have immense impact and will facilitate massive exchange of knowledge and expertise between the two countries and doctors from both the nations will benefit. I am sure significant changes in visa regulations will also follow.Considering the immense market that medical tourism offers it will facilitate the exchange of patients and many procedures would probably be officially out-sourced by NHS.
I think its a good move to regulate it officially and systematically than in a haphazard way as it normally happens.

DNA report on this

NEW DELHI: Indian doctors may soon be able to practice in Britain without having to go through a series of qualifying exams, with a consensus on the issue reached at a meeting of the Health Care Working Group of the UK-India Joint Economic Trade Committee (JETCO) on June 6.

The working group had proposed that medical degrees from reputed institutions be recognised by both the countries on a case by case basis as it would cut out years of qualifying examinations, besides ease rules governing issue of visa to the recognised degree-holders.
report continued below

Once accepted by the both governments, even qualified doctors from UK would be able to practise in India.

The proposal would now be put before JETCO in the first week of July prior to its presentation to the two governments.

JETCO is co-chaired by India's Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath and British Trade Minister Alistair Darling.

Significantly, Health Care Working Group is co-chaired by UK government official David Hawkins and Fortis Managing Director Shivinder Mohan Singh, who also heads FICCI's health care committee. JETCO's Health Care Working Group is being co-ordinated from India by FICCI.

"JETCO's own working group has reached a consensus and the ball has started rolling," said FICCI Secretary General Amit Mitra.

At present, immigrant doctors are required to take professional and linguistic assessment board test and nurses are required to clear qualifying exams to register with the Nurses and Midwife Council in the UK.

Both Medical Council of India (MCI) and The British General Medical Council (GMC) stopped recognising each other's medical degrees over 3O years back.

Mitra said if the governments agree on the proposal, both the nations would benefit. India in the coming 2-3 years would need more experts and medical specialists since the demand in corporate hospitals is going up.

It will also help Britain to address the problem of human resource crunch in this area.

"India will gain from knowledge-sharing and medical tourism will also get a boost from this initiative," he added.

DARE TO BE

When a new day begins,dare to smile gratefully
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some
When you're feeling tired, dare to keep going
When times are tough, dare to be tougher
When love hurts you, dare to love again
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal
When another is lost, dare to help them find their way
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you've done your best
dare to be the best you can- all time!

NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY

Most of you have received many unsolicited telemarketing calls/SMS on your mobile phones related to ICICI Bank products, Other company products and services.
Most of the time, these are a nuisance as they are during business hours, work engagements and meetings.
Such calls intrude our privacy and also are a waste of valuable time.
There is some encouraging news as the Government of India has taken a laudable initiative (National Do Not Call Registry) to prevent such unsolicited calls.
TRAI has developed a website where subscribers may register their phone numbers "under do-not-call registry" after the recent Supreme Court judgment.
At Infosys, the company has already registered all the official mobile lines under the above scheme.
In case you want to get rid of all the problems mentioned above, please access this site & register your number.
Requests will become effective in 45 days from the date of request. Subscriber may confirm whether their number is included in the NDNC registry home page.
