- According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

I am not really sure if this story holds the truth or not, somehow its very special…. So here it is,
According to the story, two "country hicks" came to Harvard and wanted to talk with the president. A haughty secretary resisted the couple and made them wait for hours. In exasperation, she finally asked the president to see the visitors, which he did if for no other reason to get rid of them. The couple told him their son had attended Harvard for a year and he had loved it, but had been killed in an accident and they wanted to build a memorial to him. The president discouraged them, saying they couldn't erect a memorial to every student who had died. The couple said they were thinking of donating for an entire building in their son's honor. The president discouraged them and mentioned how much all of the buildings at Harvard were worth. The lady commented to her husband that if that was all it took to build a university, they ought to construct their own. So...Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford went to Palo Alto, California and built a school in honor of their son...a memorial to a student that Harvard no longer cared about.
That's how Stanford university was built!
this story is true..... i even read it a teenage magazine long time bak........
ReplyDeleteOnce a man walked up to a bank in New York and asked for a loan of $5,000. The bank teller attending to him said,"And what would your collateral be?". The man said that he could put the Ferrari he had driven in as the collateral. The teller thought the man in front of him eccentric but agreed to lend him the money. A week later the man came up to the bank and told the teller that he had come to clear the debt. The interest rate was calculated and came to $20. The man paid $5020 and asked to be shown to his Ferrari. The teller was intrigued by the man who had put a million dollar car on stake for a mere $5,000 and then paid it back within a week. He asked the man what he had needed the money for. The man turned around and said,"Where else in New York would you find parking for $20 a week." The man in the above described incident was Vijay Mallya. :)
