Make Hay While the Sun Shines: Date: 29th Jan, 2012
Time Duration: Five Minutes
(The Beginning)
Honorable personalities on the Chair, very much Respected and cherished authorities on to the dais, esteemed decision maker judges, dear intellectual thoughtful orators and my all very much awakened mighty listeners, please accept the best wishes and greetings from this Anubhav Jain standing before you all today. Dear all, before you start listening to my words today, let me guide you that they all, the words, are to be attached or annexed with the so much kindling topic MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES. And let me warn you, all, that, if any of my words makes you think of your very own life, then it is not just the sheer coincidence, but the very objective of these next a few minutes. Do feel about yourself, if you can. I will be more than honored.
(The Body)
Make hay while the Sun Shines, the line motivates us to do work while there is sunshine… The audience should not infer the much tempting meaning of the same: “Don’t work in the night, while the Sun is not shining”…
So what is hay for us? What do we want to be, a qualified professional, CA, Doctor or MBA? A rich man, family man etc. etc. Why? It gives us pleasure? We want happiness, ultimate objective & desire. So how do we get it? Make Hay While the Sun Shines – they answer us.
So what is it about? Doing hard work… Doing the best until there is time, with all dedication, sincerity… right? How many of you think hard-work always pay?
Barbara Kingsolver quotes in her book Animal Dreams– “Why does a person even get up in the morning? You have breakfast, you floss your teeth so you'll have healthy gums in your old age, and then you get in your car and drive down and die. Life is so stupid I can't stand it.”
Does hard work really pay?
NO. Then why do they say make Hay while the sun shines? Is it wrong?
No… may be, what we took from it is wrong… The deception we have made with this line. May be, the man who wrote it had something else in his mind.
It actually says get ready, be prepared for what is to come… And what it is which is going to come?
Death… People call me young man, they say you have so much time… I wonder how they know how much I am going to live… The death is so much unpredictable, so is life…
Whatever we do is for a purpose, our hay to be made to fulfill that purpose, to be happy. How will that purpose be fulfilled? Shall we not concentrate on the other possibilities too?
We have to make HAY, stay happy, enjoy every moment, until the sun is shining, that is, death is far. We cannot loose hearts to failures; we cannot shut life with all time working. We have to live life, fully in what we do. It doesn’t negate hard work, but it negates the NOT being happy in doing hard work.
Mitch Albom in his bestselling novel “Tuesdays with Morrey” says “Everyone knows they are going to die but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently. We kid ourselves about death but there is better approach. To be prepared for it anytime. That way you can actually be MORE involved in your life while you’re living.”
“The truth is: Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
(The Ending)
The life through this simple line “make Hay While the Sun shines” simply but silently warns: Hey man, wake up before you won’t be able to rise without other’s help. And do what is needed to be done, for others, for your this world, and for your upcoming, very much curious other world.
Dear all, allow me to stop here and order your own hearts to start “Self Introspecting”… let’s make life purposeful, unlike animals, dear awakened human souls… let’s make life purposeful.
Live it, love it…

Thank You All…

This morning she knew she had to do good to keep up the points and qualify for the High Point. Amy walked towards the barn and thought about how hard her and Cowboy worked everyday to get where they were. "Amy! Good Morning! Are you ready for today?" Amy's trainer Heather hollered across the isle way of the barn. "I'm very ready, its just a matter of getting Cowboy ready. He seems pretty into his morning hay" Amy smiled while she spoke about cowboy Cowboy was in his blanket munching on his hay. Amy loved him, he was her boy and the best horse she had ever owned. Cowboy was the Hunter Under Saddle horse she always wanted. Amy managed to pull cowboy away from his hay and start primping him for the morning classes.

...Fern Hill Summary "Fern Hill" is six stanzas of praising and then lamenting days the speaker spent at Fern Hill as a youth. And this speaker is stoked about running through the countryside. Throughout the poem, he talks about how happy he was as a youngster and how oblivious he was that youth was passing. But at the end of the poem, the tone shifts dramatically from joy to lamentation. It's almost like singing, "If you're happy and you know it, think again!" What was a carefree bliss for the speaker turns out to be a fleeting joy that he ever can't recapture. What a bummer. Stanza 1 Summary Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line. Lines 1-2 Now I was young and easy under the apple boughs About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green * Welcome to Fern Hill, where the speaker was once young and carefree. Plus, apple trees. Sounds like a great place to Shmoop. * He also hung out in his "lilting house." What in the world is a lilting house, you ask? Well, lilting is an old school style of Gaelic singing, but it can refer to anything with a cheerful, happy tone. * So was the house singing? Well, maybe not literally, but with this personification, the speaker is setting the mood for the rest of the poem. Things are good. * He's young, happy, and the pastoral scenery is like a mirror of the speaker's joy. Lines 3-5 The night above the dingle starry, Time let me hail and climb Golden in the heydays of his eyes...

Carmakers Target Generationy

...Case Study 3: Carmakers Target Gen Y (Case 7-2) 2 Explain the strategy behind Asian automakers targeting generation Y The strategy behind Asian automakers targeting Generation Y could be explained in a number of ways. Asian automakers customer base is aging hence the need to identify a different segment to cultivate loyalty to support present and future sales. Generation Y consists of young Americans born in the mid 1970s and mid 1990s. This segment consists of around 71 million with a purchasing power estimated to be $200 billion. With such a sizable population and impressive purchasing power, Generation Y is poised to be that fastest growing segment that could soon outgrow that of baby boomers. Generation Y is educated, diverse, and tech-proficient. This is a unique segment that has unique needs. Asian automakers understand that a company's product can only serve some but not all demographic groups. It is with this in mind that the automakers are focusing on serving generation Y as a distinct segment, with unique needs and preferences. The strategy behind targeting Generation Y (Gen Y) by the Asian automakers seems to be driven by the 80/20 rule. According to Keegan and Green (2011), “ This rule (also known as the law of disproportionality or Pareto's law) suggests that 80 percent of a company's revenues or profits are accounted for by 20 percent of a firm's products or customers” (p.213). Generation Y is a large segment that is still growing and has the potential...

...BRITISH LITERATURE (Collected by Trần Quang Nhu) 1. THE GARDEN PARTY by Katherine Mansfield 1. Plot Summary  .The cloudless summer day is perfect for the garden party at the home of the well-to-do Sheridan family. Before breakfast ends, four workmen arrive to set up the marquee (a tent or canopy to shield partygoers from the elements). Because Meg has just washed her hair and Jose is still in her petticoat, Mrs. Sheridan assigns the task of supervising the men to Laura. Taking a piece of buttered bread with her, Laura goes outside to begin her task.  .......When she suggests that the men–all smiling and quite friendly–set up the marquee on the lily lawn, a fat man considers the idea but a tall man man says it would not get enough attention there. "You want to put it somewhere where it'll give you a bang slap in the eye." Laura wonders whether it is respectful of a laborer to speak to a girl of her upbringing in the crude language (bang slap) of the common people.  .......Laura then recommends a corner of the tennis court. Although a band will be playing on the court, she says, there will still be room for the marquee. Another man suggests placing the marquee against the karaka trees. Laura dislikes the idea of hiding the broad leaves and yellow fruit of the karakas, but the workmen are already heading toward them with the staves and rolls of canvas. She is impressed that one workman stops to smell lavender. Too bad the boys who come calling...
