1. ULTIMATE ELEVATOR HACK

To go directly to your floor, press and hold the CLOSE >|< button before the doors close. Press and hold the button for your floor while still pressing the CLOSE >|< button. When the elevator starts to move, release the buttons. You will pass all other floors.

2. CHEW GUM TO AVOID BEING NERVOUS

If you are about to do something that makes you fearful or nervous, simply chew some gum to calm yourself down. Your brain thinks that it would not be eating if it were in danger, so you basically trick your brain into calmness. Chewing on food helps calm you down before important interviews, meetings, dates, adventure sports and the like.

3. HOW TO GET RID OF A SNEEZE

Nothing is more annoying than a sneeze that won’t come, or more embarrassing than a sneeze at the wrong moment. Simply press the area between your nose and your upper lip with your finger. This gets rids of sneezes that you feel are coming on but don’t really come. Also a handy trick if you are in a class, a quiet meeting, a memorial service, in the middle of church or something of that sort.

4. ALWAYS KNOW IF YOU’VE TAKEN YOUR DAILY MEDICATION

For medications you take twice a day, flipping the bottle upside-down after you take it in the evening and flipping it right-side up after the morning dose.

If you look at the little gas indicator on your dashboard, you should see a tiny arrow next to it. That arrow actually points to the gas tank (fuel lid) side of your car. Now you’ll never forget where it is again!

6. PULLING ALL NIGHTER

If you’re pulling an all nighter, have a 15–20 minute nap just before the sun comes up and your body will reset itself.

7. STUDYING TIPS

Study your notes within one day of taking them. Retention rates are 60% higher then. Also studying for 30–50 minutes at a time (with 10 minute breaks in between) is the most effective way to retain information.

8. CHOOSE A BEST BATHING SOAP

Here is a secrete tip to choose a best bathing soap. Find the TFM percentage on the wrapper of soap. The higher it is, the better the soap. If you see TFM 80% in your soap, it is said to be first quality soap.
If it is between 60 % to 80%, it is second quality but allowed for bathing. If there is no TFM mentioned, the soap is unfit for bathing.

9. KNOW WHICH SIDE OF THE PAPER WILL PRINTER PRINT

Some printers print on front side while some on back of the paper. So the solution is, try to find this icon near your printer paper tray. If the icon has lines on the paper, it will print on front side of the paper and if the icon doesn’t have lines on paper but on left top corner, it will print behind the paper.

10. SAVE INK WHEN PRINTING

When printing documents, simply changing the text from black to gray. This will make little difference to the quality of what you’re printing, and will not only reduce the amount of ink used, but it’ll also increase the printing speed.

How One CEO Taught His Employees A Lesson In Integrity


A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.

He said, “It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you..”

The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. “I am going to give each one of you a SEED today – one very special SEED… I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO.”

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn’t have a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by — still nothing in Jim’s pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn’t say anything to his colleagues, however.

He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil – He so wanted the seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.

Jim told his wife that he wasn’t going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful — in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. “My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown,” said the CEO. “Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!”

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, “The CEO knows I’m a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!”

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed – Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, “Behold your next Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!” Jim couldn’t believe it. Jim couldn’t even grow his seed.

“How could he be the new CEO?” the others said.

Then the CEO said, “One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead – it was not possible for them to grow.
