Recession!!..its a myth ?? Exaggeration??
This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Domino Pizza by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.
But enthusiastically and passionately, he sold lots of Pizzas. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove with good sales
As his business was growing...

As his business was growing...
the son, who had recently graduated from University, joined his father. Then something strange happened.

He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and ingredient items, took down the colourful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his Pizza corner. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit...
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
Moral of The Story:
It's all in your MIND! And we are actually adding FUEL to this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! !!

1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?
2. Choose your advisers carefully but use your own judgment
3. A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5 Cs * Character * Commitment * Conviction * Courtesy * Courage
The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures.
The More practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is -

This is the time to learn wisely and improve your career..working smart and hard..intelligently..
This is the time to motivate your team and retain people which are the biggest asset..
This is the time to show more commitments to the customers
This is the time show values of our company to the world
This is the time to stand by our Nation..
