Once upon a time the government with Ruling Party XYZ.. had a vast
scrap yard in the middle of a desert.

Ruling Party XYZ Said.. - “Someone may steal from it at night.”

So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the
job. Then Ruling Party XYZ

Said..

- “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?”

So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person
to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then
Ruling Party XYZ Said..,

- “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?”

So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One
to do the studies and one to write the reports. Then Ruling Party XYZ
Said.. ,

- “How are these people going to get paid?”

So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll
officer, then hired two people. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,

- “Who will be accountable for all of these people?”

So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an
Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal
Secretary. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,

- “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are
$18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost.”

So they lay off the night watchman.

Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever- present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, What’s your name?”
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
JESUS has a heart full of love.
JESUS offers health, help and hope..
Santa says “You better not cry”
JESUS says “Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa’s little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree,
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It’s obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you

and your loved ones this Christmas 2008

And may He prosper

and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.

Please apply this logic, whenever you are stuck with finance ! 

A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast.  When he goes to the
Kirana store he pays Rs. 12 a dozen.  Since a dozen eggs won’t last a
week he normally buys two dozens at a time. One day while buying eggs he
notices that the price has risen to Rs. 16. The next time he buys
groceries, eggs are Rs. 22 a dozen.

When asked to explain the price of eggs the store owner says, “The price
has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly”. This store buys
100 dozen eggs a day.  He checked around for a better price and all the
distributors have raised their prices. The distributors have begun to
buy from the huge egg farms.  The small egg farms have been driven out
of business.  The huge egg farms sell 100,000 dozen eggs a day to
distributors.  With no competition, they can set the price as they see
fit. The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery
stores. And on and on and on.

As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big egg
trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there.
He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000
dozen eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the price
of eggs.

Then week before Diwali the price of eggs shot up to Rs. 40 a dozen.
Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, “Cakes and baking for
the holiday”.  The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking
going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up.
Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when family cooking,
baking, etc. happen.

This pattern continues until the price of eggs is Rs. 60 a dozen. The
man says, “There must be something we can do about the price of
eggs”.

He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to stop
buying eggs. This didn’t work because everyone needed eggs.

Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need.  He ate 2 eggs a
day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy two
eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day.

The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in
his cooler.  He told the distributor that he didn’t need any eggs.
Maybe wouldn’t need any all week.

The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse.  He told the huge
egg farms that he didn’t have any room for eggs would not need any for
at least two weeks.

At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs.   To relieve
the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could buy
the eggs at a lower price.

The distributor said, ” I don’t have the room for  the %$&^*&%
eggs
even if they were free”.   The distributor told the grocery store
owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would start
buying again.

The grocery store owner said, “I don’t have room for more eggs. The
customers  are only buying 2 or 3 eggs at a time.  Now if you were to
drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers
would start buying by the dozen again”.

The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers but the egg
farmers liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, those
chickens just kept on laying.  Finally, the egg farmers lowered the
price of their eggs.  But only a few paisa.

The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said, “when the
price of  eggs gets down to where it was before, we will start buying by
the dozen.”

Slowly the price of eggs started dropping.  The distributors had to
slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg
farmers.

The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn’t buy
at a higher price than they were selling eggs for. Anyway, they had full
warehouses and wouldn’t need eggs for quite a while.

And those chickens kept on laying.

Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing
away eggs they couldn’t sell.

The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to
where the  stores could afford to sell them at the lower price.

And the customers starting buying by the dozen again.

Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry.

What if everyone only bought Rs 200.00 worth of Petrol each time they
pulled to the pump?  The dealer’s tanks would stay semi full all the
time.  The dealers wouldn’t have room for the gas coming from the huge
tanks.  The tank farms wouldn’t  have room for the petrol coming from
the refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn’t have room for the
oil being off loaded from the huge tankers  coming from the oil fiends.

Just Rs. 200.00 each time you buy gas. Don’t fill up the tank of your
car. You may have to stop for gas twice a week, but the price should
come down.
Think about it.
Also, don’t buy anything else at the fuel station; don’t give them any
more of your hard earned money than what you spend on gas, until the
prices come down…”

..just think of this concept for a while.

Thanks for the friend, who forward me this one.
