How to Take a Compliment

Compliments are a part of life, and although you might not always feel you deserve them learning to accept a compliment graciously is a life skill you'll never regret.

Be grateful The best thing you can do when someone compliments you is to simply say 'thank you.' And smile, because smiles work wonders.

Reciprocate if and when appropriate. If you've just won an amazing award you can say "thank you" and leave it that, but if it's something simpler like a friend complimenting your new haircut say thank you and then return the favor by complimenting her scarf or new shade of lipstick.

Don't argue or try to invalidate the compliment. For example if someone says "Good job!" don't counter with "I could have done better." Accept the compliment for what it is and don't make people work to get their point across.

Be sincere Be genuine in your response, not absent-minded or mechanical. Really mean it when you say thank you, and if/when you compliment them in return.

People sometimes feel that when they accept a compliment it makes them seem self-centered or arrogant, but really when people argue or negate positive acknowledgments they just come off as insecure, uninterested, or rude even. It's much better to be a well-rounded, balanced individual that can appreciate when someone is making a kind gesture.

What will you do with money?

In older times there was a story about a king who wish to have a power, as whatever he would touch it will turn to gold. Then he got the power and started touching the objects, as soon as he touched any object it will turn into gold.
Then he felt hungry and thought of having a apple, but as soon as he touched the apple it also became of gold. So he couldn't eat that apple.... then he felt sorry for his wish and blah... blah... blah...

Now story is changed a bit.
You have money so you can eat gold...




The Deli Garage in Germany is offering a unique way to dress up your food: edible gold and silver food spray paint. Called Esslack, it makes anything from fresh fruit and vegetables to baked goods like pretzels suddenly look like solid chunks of precious metal.

ha ha ha... have money? Dare to eat gold?...

IIS installation on Windows XP without CD.

I was searching for some option as how can i install IIS on windows XP without CD. There was a hell lot of links saying to download SP2 / SP3 (win xp service pack)... unrar the package.... start IIS installation... show SP path to installer.
But this didn't worked at all, as a number of files were missing. Infact no IIS installation file was available in any SP.
So after a lot of searching on net I found following link. This link is really a life saver link. Someone have uploaded a zip file, which includes all files required for IIS installation.
http://geekswithblogs.net/royhwa/archive/2006/01/22/66655.aspx

From here just download the zip file. Then unzip the file and start IIS installer. When IIS installer will ask you to show path of Windows XP CD-ROM then show path of unzipped folder.
Then whenever during installation it requires path of missing installer file, show it the path of uzipped folder.
IIS will be installed.

For your help, if you ever find this link un-available then mail me to get the file or leave a comment on this post with your mail address.

All the best...
