ONE STEP AWAY

One Step Away
____________________________________________________________


If you were just one step away from reaching your goal, would you take that step?
How do you know, right now, that you're not?

What a shame it would be to stop making the effort,
when just a little bit more would make it all worthwhile.
What a shame it would be to have taken all those steps, only to miss the very last one.

The next step you take may very well be the one that makes all the others count.
You owe it to yourself, and the efforts you've made, to keep going.

No, the next step may not get you there.
Yet what about the one after that?
If you keep moving ahead, a little at a time, you will indeed arrive.
When you take that final, triumphant step, you'll be so very thankful you persevered.

At some point success is just one step away.
Keep going and you'll be there.

Email Fraud, supposedly from Maruti Suzuki!!

By -
My sister received a job offer from Maruti Suzuki today. All she had to do to secure the position was to pay a refundable security deposit of Rs. 16,900/-, and she would land up with a job paying anywhere between Rs. 62,000/- per annum to Rs. 20,00,000/- per annum! Seems like a bargain, does it. Thankfully, my sister smelled a rat and forwarded the JD to me for comments. I am pasting the contents of the JD below: MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LTD (MSIL) Head Office Maruti Suzuki, India Limited Nelson Mandela Road , Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070 Board no.46781000 Email:  freshjobs_msil@live.com Tel: +919873128829 (10:00 AM TO 5:30 PM) REF: "MARUTI SUZUKI" DIRECT RECRUITMENTS OFFER.

Microfinance In a Spot Of Trouble

I am keen on Microfinance and try to follow related news / articles as much as I can. Last year I had gone on a research project with some fellow students and stayed in villages for about 10 days. From the discussions we had with villagers and MFI operating in those villages, I got a feeling that though there are many MFIs now operating in India, they do not yet have a clear structure or system to operate with. Villagers further showed a tendency to recycle loans, and often waited for the government to waive off loans. Though life style of some of the villagers seemed to have improved, I did not see Microfinance making major impact on their means of income. If income was stagnant, improved lifestyle could mean only one thing - that loan was being used to meet household expenses, and not as working capital. It was thus no surprise when I came across this article: "Ketaki Gokhale in the WSJ: ' A credit crisis is brewing in Microfinance ' Here in Ramanagaram, a silk-ma

25 Things to Do with Your Family While Stuck at Home

By -
During this period of (almost) global lock down and limited movement, we are all looking for ways to kill time. What we need to keep in mind is that we can use this time productively and not waste it in sleeping or binge watching. Joshua Becker has shared an excellent list of 25 Things to do with your family at his blog Becoming Minimalist. I am sharing the article below. Original article can be found here . I do not really agree with one or two of his points and those have a strike through. My disagreement is mostly personal in nature and readers might or might not agree to it. As with most the world, we’ve been spending a lot more time at home in recent days. It’s important, in these unique times, to redeem the hours and make the most of the moments we have together. There are negative ramifications to the current state of affairs in our world—and you don’t need to see them broadcast in the media, many of you are experiencing them firsthand. But the negative effects of t
