"MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS AND TERRORISTS ARE NOT MUSLIMS."
In
the HISTORY of the world, who has KILLED maximum INNOCENT
human beings
1) "Hitler"
Do you know who he was
He was a Christian, but media will never call Christians terrorists.
2) "Joseph Stalin called as Uncle Joe".
He has killed 20 million human beings including 14.5 million were starved to death.
Was he a Muslim
3) "Mao Tse Tsung (China)"
He has killed 14 to 20 million human beings.
Was he a Muslim
4) "Benito Mussolini (Italy)"
He has killed 400 thousand human beings.
Was he a Muslim
5) "Ashoka" In Kalinga Battle
He has killed 100 thousand human beings.
Was he a Muslim
6) Embargo put by George Bush in Iraq,
1/2 million children
has been killed in Iraq alone!!! Imagine these people are never called terrorists by the media.
Why
Today the majority of the non-muslims are afraid by hearing the words "JIHAD".
Jihad is an Arabic word which comes from root Arabic word "JAHADA" which means "TO STRIVE" or "TO STRUGGLE" against evil and for justice. It does not
mean killing innocents.
The difference is we stand against evil, not with evil".
You still think that ISLAM is the problem
1. The First World War, 17 million dead
(caused by non-Muslim).
2. The Second World War, 50-55 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).
3. Nagasaki atomic bombs 200000 dead
(caused by non-Muslim).
4. The War in Vietnam, over 5 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).
5. The War in Bosnia/Kosovo, over 5,00,000 dead (caused by non-Muslim).

(caused by non-Muslim).
7. Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Burma etc (caused by non-Muslim).
8. In Cambodia 1975-1979, almost 3 million deaths (caused by non-Muslim).
"MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS
AND

Please remove first double standards on Killings.

Why a Training Needs Assessment is Important
“When solving
problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.” Anthony J.
D’Angelo
Training is not a panacea. Yet training is frequently
treated like the kitchen drawer that accumulates all of the miscellaneous items
that no one wants to take the time to sort through and put away properly. There
seems to be the notion that, when in doubt, schedule a training session.
However, there are many things wrong with this approach to
training. It is important to take the time to investigate the reason for the
training request. If we don’t, we run the risk of training the wrong people in
the wrong content at the wrong time. This is not only a waste of time, energy
and money for us and for others, it also guarantees that training in general
and training professionals in specific will be considered irrelevant and
unimportant.
A training needs assessment is the only way to verify and
validate the need, focus, scope and target group for a training program.
Training needs assessments can be proactive or reactive. In
both cases, the goal of the training needs assessment is to identify
performance issues that can be remedied through the introduction, practice, or
reinforcement of specific and measurable knowledge and/or skill sets.
Proactive training needs assessments initiate a strategic
review of future organizational needs that will require new capabilities and
competencies. These assessments tend to be more formal and systematized in
order to determine the full spectrum of possible training needs throughout the
organization. They may involve assessment strategies that are time consuming
and require specialized expertise, such as on-line surveys, focus groups, and
knowledge tests.
Reactive training needs assessments respond to requests to
train pre-identified employees in specific content. These assessments tend to
be more informal in order to get a better idea of the reason for the training
request and what the training is intended to achieve. They typically involve
assessment strategies that are relatively quick and require basic skills to
conduct one-on-one interviews with supervisors and/or employees, or review
performance data.
Regardless of whether or not the training needs assessment
is proactive or reactive, it should determine that:
1. There is a
verified performance issue that can be remedied through training.
Does the performance issue involve skills that can be
taught? If so, then training is the answer. If the issue involves notification
of new or changed policy, then a memo or a brief meeting may be the better
recourse. If the issue is individual employee performance, then performance
management will be the best approach.
2. This issue is
important enough that it needs to be addressed.
How critical will the consequences be to the organization if
the training does not occur? The relative importance of addressing this
performance issue needs to be considered. Most organizations will have many
different training needs, so some prioritization has to occur
3. The appropriate
target audience has been identified.
What is the root cause of the performance issue and who is
ultimately responsible? If employees are not performing satisfactorily, the
typical assumption is that they lack certain knowledge or skills that can be
taught. This may not be the case. Instead, their poor performance may actually
be due to a lack of delegation, communication or planning skills of their
supervisors or managers. In this event, the appropriate target audience would
be the supervisors or managers, not the employees.
4. The appropriate
training content has been identified.
What knowledge, skills and/or behavior need to be learned?
Once the root cause of the performance issue has been located and the correct
target audience has been identified, the training content can then be
specified. The content will be based on the knowledge and skills gap between
current and desired performance.
5. The desired
training results are realistic.
Can the desired learning be accomplished within the allotted
time frame? Expectations regarding the outcome of a training program may need
to be managed. Training can only build skills incrementally. If there is a
major skills gap that needs to be addressed, then this may require more than
one training session.
6. The training
approach is cost-effective.
What is the most cost-effective way to build the necessary
skills? It is reasonable and cost effective to schedule a training program if
new skills need to be developed or existing skills need to be refreshed and
updated for a number of employees. However, scheduling an entire training
program to address isolated individual performance issues is neither
appropriate nor cost-effective. It may make more sense to send the individual
employee to a public workshop, provide on-the-job training and coaching, or use
an e-learning solution.
7. The training
schedule is compatible with work schedules.
What are the limitations imposed by the target group’s work
schedules? If the target group works different shifts, that will need to be
considered when scheduling the training program. Also, there may be times of
the week or the season when work responsibilities prohibit attendance at a
training program.
Take the time to investigate training requests. Training
needs assessments will help you avoid wasting yours and others’ time and money,
impugning training as a viable performance support, and harming your
credibility as a training professional.

45 Life Lessons Written by a "90-Year-Old Woman"
People often tell Regina Brett how great she
looks for her age. Turns out, she is actually 54 years old — not 90. She wrote
down these life lessons the night before her 45th birthday after being
diagnosed with breast cancer. Over that past decade, these lessons have gone
viral on the Internet amid claims that she is 90 years old. Luckily, she finds
humor in this misrepresentation, knowing how many lives she has touched.
Whatever her age might be, these universal
lessons are relatable to anyone who needs a little reminder of what's important
in life.
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else
does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to
disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than
crying alone.
8. Save for retirement, starting with your first paycheck.
9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is
futile.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up
the present.
11. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
12. Don't compare your life to others'. You have
no idea what their journey is all about.
13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you
shouldn't be in it.
14. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get
busy living, or get busy dying.
15. You can get through anything if you stay put
in today.
16. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer,
write.
17. It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
But the second one is up to you and no one else.
18. When it comes to going after what you love in
life, don't take no for an answer.
19. Burn the candles; use the nice sheets; wear
the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
20. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
21. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to
wear purple.
22. The most important sex organ is the brain.
23. No one is in charge of your happiness except
you.
24. Frame every so-called disaster with these
words: "In five years, will this matter?"
25. Forgive everyone everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your
business.
27. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
28. However good or bad a situation is, it will
change.
29. Your job won't take care of you when you are
sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
30. Believe in miracles.
31. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you
stronger.
32. Growing old beats the alternative — dying
young.
33. Your children get only one childhood. Make it
memorable.
34. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting
everywhere.
35. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw
everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
36. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of
it now.
37. Get rid of anything that isn't useful,
beautiful or joyful.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you
loved.
39. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all
you need.
40. The best is yet to come.
41. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and
show up.
42. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
43. If you don't ask, you don't get.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a
gift.

WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?
This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened?
The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!
In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years!!! Without moving a single step - since its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.
Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.
For the lizard, that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years...
Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
Think, will you do that to your partner?
Think that will you do it to your Mom, Who brought you after a big struggle of nine long months?
Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, brothers and Sisters?
Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.
As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster.
But the Distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well?
Please never abandon your loved ones.
Never Say You Are Busy When They Really Need You ...
You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet.....
But You Might Be The Only World To Them....
A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loves you thru all odds..
Before you say something just remember…It takes a moment to Break but an entire life to make....
To Live Use Heart and to Survive use Brains.
Then Life would be a paradise Unfurling only Love Joy and Happiness....
"Love is the ocean which accepts all manner of the rivers without questioning their origin."
***************************************************************************
Its better to lose your ego to the one you love
Than to loose the one you love ... Because of ego.
A relationship doesn't shine by just shaking hands in good times.
But it blossoms by holding firmly in critical situations.
