Orkut birthdays, Sreenath, Drucker, books and wonderful life

Ø I had previously thought that there is no point in sending the wishes through orkut as everybody else is knowing the birthday of that friend by the orkut reminder. Therefore all friends send the wishes to him and there is no value to your wish. But then today morning I suddenly realized that we wish on happy birthday not for our recognition but for actually wishing the one who’s birthday is it. So although 100 people may wish by orkut scrap, you should be one of them if your wish is by heart and not for getting you importance. I need to pure mind on this thing.
Ø Today my friend Sreenath ran 15 rounds on ground. It is high example of mental determination one should have. Without previous practice today he started running with the target of 15 rounds. After 3 round he was tired. Then with few breaks he completed 8. Then he had tea break then going back he completed remaining rounds. It is not good from medical point of view. But it is best achievement motivation I have seen in near past. He loves giving pain to his body. Hats off to my friend.
Ø Today I went to the library and read 4 books simultaneously. One was on “How to read a book” ?
I got nice stuff to think.
Books are of three type :
§ General (information based)
§ Useful for reading, but after reading you feels that you know more than what the book say.
You will feel that I have completed this one. And I will really never read it again.
§ Books which each new reading give new thinking to you. You think that book is growing with your mental growth. E.g. Geeta
Say, you have to go one island where there are no facilities, no human beings. Which 10 book you will take with yourself. ?
Ø I saw the movie “It is a wonderful life”. Nice movie which says there are no failures for one who has lot of friends. (No extra comments)
Ø Nonprofit organization although having more financial restrictions, have their functioning align to their mission statement. Vice versa for the business organization. Secondly the volunteers are getting replaced by the unpaid professionals these days. This is future trends for this sector.(Peter Drucker)
