Selected quora answers generally interesting are included .Still they need not be 100% correct answers. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 19-02-2024. Q1 What has life taught you recently? A1 Rohit Kashyap, Founder and CEO at Maytree School (2019–present) Updated 4y It was raining outside and one teacher was teaching students in the classroom. The teacher asked students, what will you do if I give you all 100 rupees. One student replied I will buy a toy car. One student replied I will buy a cricket bat. One student, I will eat samosa (snacks) with all friends. Finally, one student replied I will buy a spectacles for my mother. The teacher asked son, your father can also buy spectacles for your mother. What do you want to buy? My Father is no more and my mother stitch clothes to take care of us. My mother eyes are damaged and not working properly. Due to money shortage, she doesn’t buy a spectacles. That's why sir, I want to buy spectacle for her. Teacher with tears in his eyes gave the boy 100 rupees and said I need this money back when you will become an officer. Son, you will be very successful in life. After almost 15 Years, It was raining outside. Collector car stopped outside school and collector come and touched the feet of the old teacher and said sir, here is your 100 rupees. Yes, the boy becomes a collector. What has life taught you recently? What choices you make in childhood will lead you towards your destiny. So make good choices. Note:- Many of you asked if this story is fake, fictional or anything. Well, I heard this story from someone and I liked it and that's why I write it. Even there is no proof of God but we still believe in it because it gives power to us and peace to move forward. A positive story keep us move forward. Q2 Can you tell some interesting information about complimentary breakfast relating to our world. A2 Chauhan Babu Nath,3h I stayed in the hotel with my wife at night. At ten in the morning I went to have breakfast. Since the time for breakfast is only till 10.30,, the hotel staff told that whoever wants to have whatever, should have it till 10.30. After this the buffet will be closed. What and how much can any person eat for breakfast? But because the order to ban breakfast had come, I saw that people quickly got up from their chairs and someone was bringing a full plate of fruits, someone was ordering four omelettes. Someone brought idli and dosa, while another man brought two-three glasses of juice. Someone brought a plate full of toast along with honey, butter and mustard sauce. I sat quietly at my place and kept watching all this. One or two mothers were stuffing food into the mouths of their children. She was saying eat immediately, now this restaurant will be closed. Breakfast is usually free for those who stay at hotels. Meaning, morning breakfast is included in the hotel fare. I have seen many people many times that they try to reach breakfast late in the morning and eat a little more so that they can handle the work of lunch. Many people also eat more because they think that it is free, so there is no harm in taking more. Many people know that they cannot eat that much, but they stock up just so that they do not fall short. Actually every person knows his own dosage. He knows he can only eat so much. But he gets trapped in greed and collects more than required. I kept watching everything silently from my chair. It was half past ten. The restaurant was closed. People were sitting. He had collected a lot of things on the table. But now they were not able to eat. How can anyone drink two-three glasses of juice? Top with four omelettes. Lots of toast. Many children were fighting with their mother that they should not eat anymore. Mothers were also tired of eating and feeding. And finally, one by one everyone left the breakfast on the table and slowly went out. Meaning, all that juice, fruits, eggs, bread all went waste. 🌟 *This is life.* 🌟 We are all busy gathering more than our appetite. We all know that we will not be able to use it. We know that even our children will not be able to enjoy this. But we gather more than enough on our respective tables. When we gather, we are not so ignorant that we do not know that we will not be able to eat them all. We know that we will leave these and walk out of the restaurant shyly, leaving everything on the table. Save only as much as you really need. *This world is a restaurant.**No one can sit in this restaurant forever.**No one can eat in this restaurant continuously.* *There is a limit for everyone's food.* *The duration of everyone's stay in the restaurant is also fixed.* Take only that much which you enjoy. Collect only as much as can meet your needs. ,*Everything else is left here. Be it breakfast or anything else*... Many of us see many people leaving the restaurants of the world, leaving a lot of things on the table. But still we don't understand how much we need. *We know that we will also leave everything, but in the pursuit of accumulating, we also stop tasting what is there*. My note- I have included the QA for the comparison. Q3 Do you know a joke about the pope? A3 Charles Fletcher,14h The Pope and a lawyer die at about the same time and approach the Pearly Gates together. Saint Peter welcomes them both and tells them that he’ll show them to their quarters in Heaven. St. Peter shows the Lawyer to his quarters first and it is absolutely fabulous. Large, comfortable, with every amenity that anyone could possibly want for all eternity. St. Peter then takes the Pope to his quarters. The Pope thinks to himself, “I shouldn’t be thinking like this but he couldn’t help but get excited about what his place in Heaven would be like after seeing what Heaven provided for the lawyer. When they reach the Pope’s place, the Pope feels let down. It is of course beautiful, comfortable, anything he could possibly ask for or expect and the Pope would have been thrilled if he had not seen the lawyer’s quarters first. The Pope turns to St. Peter and says “This is beautiful and I know that I’ll be very happy here, however, I cannot help myself from wondering why the lawyer’s place in heaven is so much nicer than mine.” St. Peter responds “Remember, this is heaven. We have lots of Popes here, but, only one lawyer Q4 What is the joke about “The boy in the bank”? A4 Meen KS,Sun A young boy, puts $100 in the bank every single day. One day the boss at the bank noticed and asked, hey buddy, why do you keep dropping $100 in here every day? The kid says, Can we talk in your office? The boss says, yes, and they go to his office. Then the kids spills the beans. Well, I make a bet everyday with someone new that I can kiss my right eye. The boss laughs and says, no way you can do that. The kid smirks. Wanna bet? The manager agrees, and quick as a wink, the kid takes out his fake eye and kisses it. The boss feels kind of silly and gives him $100. But he wants it back. So The kid says, okay, but with a twist. I'm pretty sure that you are wearing red girly panties. If I'm wrong, I'll give you back your $100 plus another 100. Thinking he's too smart, the boss agrees. The kid adds, but before you drop your pants, we need 10 witnesses to make it official. The boss gathers his team and after taking his pants off, he feels very proud to have won $100. Then he notices the kid is all smiles about losing money. Confused, he asks, why are you happy about losing your cash? The kid grins. Well, I had a bet with your team about how fast I could get you to drop your pants.” Q5 What's the difference between a smart person and a wise person? A5 Kandarp Joshi,Simple & Powerful 9mo Someone was stealing sandwiches from the office refrigerator. A smart man suggested, “why don't you make the sandwiches very salty and teach that guy a lesson.” She said … hmm…let me think about it. >From next day she started bringing two sandwiches and kept it in the refrigerator with a note, “please leave one for me”. The next day she found a note saying, “I am sorry for stealing your sandwiches”. Wise person knows how to solve problems without creating enemies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
