Mood Upliftment

Mood Upliftment


If the mood at your office or home is depressing you don't have to spent a whole lot of money on entertainment or junk food or forcefully tell a joke everyone's heard before.

Mood improvement is actually very simple.
Just speak 1 simple sentence interspersed with 1 of these words and stop. Just observe the mood of the room after a couple of minutes.
Intensity,
Fantastic,
Cherish
Drive
Elevate
Amplify
Rave

That is the word should have lot of more positive connotations than the dictionary definition could give. They can be termed word magnets because they bring back emotions in your memory attached to a whole lot of positive/bubbly experiences where you heard the word being uttered.

Wealth ?

Guru asked Vikram's son who was with him,
Guru: Are you happy ?
Vikram's son: Pot sounds aint that funny but I liked the game.
Vikram understood.

George and the Guru

George asked the Guru, What is intelligence ?
Guru:Take this 1 Re. and buy an apple for me from the market and I will tell you. Also throw out this garbage cover on the way.
George goes to the shop.
Shopkeeper: This is a rare coin Sir, I will give 500 Rs. for it. I know a rare coin collector.
George: Rs.750 and it's a deal.
George takes the money, puts it in his pocket, takes an apple and comes back. On his way he dumps the garbage in his enemies's backyard.
George: Here is the apple, Now tell me what is intelligence. ?
Guru: Intelligence is in your back pocket. The garbage cover had Rs.5 lakh. That was Wisdom.


George went to the Guru and asked him, What is Engineering ?
Guru: I will tell you, but first pass me those groundnuts,
George: Do you want me to break them open and give it to you or I will pass it to and you will break it yourself ?
Guru: Well, that question is the essence of Engineering !!!

George went to the Guru and wanted to know the truth.
Guru: The hard way or the easy way ?
George: What is the hard way ?
Guru: This bushy jungle road is the hard path to truth.
George : I want the easy way.
Guru: Oh that, The pretty girls at the end of the jungle road can only tell you.
George went to the end of the jungle road in triple quick time.
There were no pretty girls at the end, but George realized the truth...

Connect your Dots

The windmills of the Gods,
Do not grind to connect your Dots,
But to untie all of the world's Knots,
To prevent destruction and all the unnecessary Shots,
For connecting your Dots,
All by yourself you need to market your Pots,
To the town's Lots,
Some may consider you one among the Shods,
Some may advice to sell Rods,
You will many a times want to take refuge in the warmth of your Cots,
As you wander, you suddenly see some orphaned tiny Tots,
And realize how badly they need your warmth, Uncle Gotz,
More importantly you realize, The grinding of the Windmills of the Gods,
Is for connecting the world's Dots.

If the street you are in is stinking

Run as fast as you can and reach your destination.
Be mama's boy, cover your nose, walk the full distance & cry your heart's content in the privacy of your home.
Think about our politics, surely there can no greater stench than that.
Play cricket, you will forget the environment or too tired to notice.
Get hooked onto Temple Run !!
Converse with your friend, chances are he may say, "Stench this !, come to my town - I will show you stench". Some relief that ?!.
Pretend there is no stench, recite "Supress short term gains for long term success" or any of the inspirational Band-Aids.
Write the book, "Positive effects of stench on body's immunity system" and sell it for $0.99. Believe me this is what sells.
Develop a software that captures the analog aroma into digital signals and feed it into an a weather forecasting android app.
Have a contest with your friends, "Who can collect the maximum pebbles on the street ?". The winner gets Rs.10 for 4 pebbles.
Jump over the wall to the next street, and start a Dosa shop with the money you earned in the pebble contest
(make sure others don't have the same idea)

Choose any strategy but for heavens sake, "Don't BEAT yourself up because the street is STINKING."

Hare & Tortoise - remastered

The HARE & THE TORTOISE story (modern version)

A hare and a tortoise met and decided to race for success. The hare was determined to put the millennium's worst insult to the their community inflicted with the "THE SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE" technique.

The hare rushed from the starting point and after an hour he could not even see the tortoise with a binocular. Excitedly he ran as fast as he could and after 4 hours reached the finishing spot and SHOCKERS - the tortoise was already there waiting for him. The referee declared the tortoise winner.

Hare:"But this is impossible.. !??"
Tortoise smiled, "Well in case you didn't notice this is a giant circular track !! - You are in the finishing point even if you don't move a step"

The new moral: "THE WINNERS WIN THE RIGHT RACE" - slow, steady, fast, furious comes later and varies from situation to situation.
Success means and should mean progress - don't waste time and effort if your path brings you back to the starting point.

Explanation: We frequently indulge in activities that are counter-productive and bring us down physically, mentally and morally. Any wonder that you were a better person last year than you are this year. Is what you do improving you to become a statesman of sorts or Are you in a wild goose chase that will leave you with a juvenile personality when you reach a mature age.?

Entertainment conspiracy

Background singer sings the songs.
Choreographer shows the moves.
Artist creates the sets.
Cinematographer sets the view.
Fashions artists create the clothes, makeup.
Hair stylists - the hair.
The directors create the story, screenplay, jokes.
The producers shell out the moolah.
The distributor liaison with theater owners.
The theater owners screen the movie.
The audience invest time, patience(lots of it) and money.

What about the heroes, the heroines, the comedians & the villains. ? What is that you have paid for ?

Well actually they are a figment of your imagination. You pay for what you visualize.

Because if you take away all the above, you are left with thoughts. +ve, -ve, neutral.

All entertainment is about conjuring an emotion/image in your mind.

Familiarity, Cleverness, Bizarre, Cuteness, Beauty, Mischief, Passion, Vengeance - If you knew nothing about all these feelings - Entertainment would be meaningless.

A emotive person reacts more fervently than a blunted one. That is the reason for the vast difference in receptiveness across an audience.
