M.B.A Student (vs) B.E Student

This joke won an award for the best joke in a competition organized in Britain.

A MBA and a BE student go on a camping trip,set up their tent, and fell asleep.

Some hours later, the BE wakes his MBA friend and says:

"Look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars."

The BE asks, "What does that tell you?"

The MBA ponders for a minute..

"Astronomically speaking,it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.

Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you?"

The BE is silent for a moment, then speaks.

"Practically. ..Someone has stolen our tent".

Best lessons are learned through actions..

Recently I was attending a seminar on the occasion of 100th year of International Women’s Day, in which the guest of honors were the prominent personalities of India including Chief guests Mrs (Justice) Sujata Manohar, Former Judge Supreme court of India and Dr.(Mrs) Kiran Bedi, Magaseyay Awardees & Former DG.
The topic of the seminar was “Economic Empowerment of women”. It is understood that this talk would be interesting for every women. Each one would like to capture all the valuable ingredients of the talks and would like to improve upon her economic betterment.
And hence most were doing the same. It was also interesting to note that all the speakers who came to the dais, opened their laptops & read their lectures from it.
Now it was Dr. Kiran Bedi turn, she came with confidence as always, CLOSED the laptop and started delivering the lecture, like a very confident and courageous lady, the way she is. And to my surprise the lecture was interesting.
Finally it was the end of the seminar & all who walk out of the conference room had one topic to discuss, no.. not “Economic Empowerment of women”, but the way Dr. Kiran Bedi spoke without the laptop !!
I felt that she had conveyed her point, for all women who wish to achieve anything in this world, should first have confidence in herself.
Also to note is that lecturers delivered on personal experiences rather taken examples from books and internet our best remembered and the mind never fails to erase them.
Truly best lessons are learned through actions…….
