The Apple Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, and took a nap under it. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me”, the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore," the boy replied. "I want toys. I need money to buy them.”

“Sorry, but I do not have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited. “Come and play with me” the tree said. “I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”

“Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” The tree said.

“I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” Said the man.

“Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the man returned after many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you”, the tree said. “No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite” the man replied.

“No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now” the man said.

“I really cannot give you anything, the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

“I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years,” the man replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest, come sit down with me and rest.” The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with our Mom and Dad. When we grow up, we leave them; only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could just to make you happy.

A Tribute To Mother

He was a young boy who lived with his elderly mother. His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because she longed to hear her son play for her.

She sent her son to a piano teacher who took Robby in under her guidance.  However, there was one small problem because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in learning.

The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of his weakness. However, The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Robby to the teacher.

One day Robby stopped attending the piano lessons. The teacher thought that he had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Robby.

Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in town. She sent out circulars to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Robby who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told Robby that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had stopped coming for lessons.

Robby begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down. Finally, she gave in but scheduled him to play last, hoping that he will change his mind at the last minute.

When the big day came, the hall was packed and the children gave their best performance. Finally, it was Robby's turn to play and as his name was announced, he walked in. He was not in proper attire and his hair was not properly groomed. The teacher was really nervous since Robby's performance could spoil the whole evening's brilliant performance.

As Robby started playing the crowd became silent and was amazed at the skill of this little boy. In fact, he gave the best performance of the evening. At the end of his presentation the crowd and the piano teacher gave him a standing ovation.

The crowd asked Robby how he managed to play so brilliantly. With a microphone in front of him, he said, "I was not able to attend the weekly piano lessons as there was no one to send me because my mother was sick with cancer. She just passed away and I wanted her to hear me play. You see, this is the first time she is able to hear me play because when she was alive she was deaf and now I know she is listening to me. I have to play my best for her!"

When you have a passion and a reason to do something, you will surely excel. You may not be talented or gifted but if you have a strong enough reason to do something, you will be able to tap into your inner given potential. "When there is a will, there is a way".

Handle a Business successfully, handle a business, is the key to the establishment and expansion of the business. The key to
successful management is to inspect the marketplace environment and create employment and profit opportunities that provide the
possible growth and fiscal viability of the business.

Regardless of the Significance of management, this region is often misunderstood and poorly executed, chiefly because people
concentrate on the output in place of the process of direction.

Toward the end Of the 1980s, company managers became absorbed in enhancing product quality, occasionally ignoring their role
vis-a-vis personnel. The focus was on reducing costs and raising output, while dismissing the long-term benefits of motivating
personnel. This shortsighted view tended to raise profits in the short term, but created a dysfunctional long-term small business
atmosphere.

Simultaneously With the growth in concern about quality, entrepreneurship brought the interest of company. A sudden wave of
successful entrepreneurs appeared to leave earlier direction theories obsolete. The popular press focused on the brand new cult
heroes Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniack (founders and developers of the Apple Computer) while disregarding the marketing and
organizing talents of Mike Markula, the executive responsible for Apple's business program. The story of 2 men selling their
Volkswagen bus to construct the first Apple computer was more amorous than that of their organizational genius that enabled Apple
to develop, market and send its products while rapidly becoming a major corporation.

In large Companies, effective handle business abilities necessitates preparation. Planning is essential for developing a firm's
potential. However, many small businesses do not recognize the demand for long-range plans, since the few of individuals involved
with operating the company suggests equivalent responsibility in the planning and decision-making procedures. Nonetheless, the
need for planning is as important in a small business as it's in a large one.

This manual Focuses on the importance of good management practices. Specifically, it addresses the responsibilities of managing
the internal and external environments.

Managing A Business Effectively: The External Environment. Five years ago, Alvin Toffler suggested the eyesight of the taxpayer at
the tight grip of an omnipotent waiver could be replaced by an organizational structure of ad-hocracy. The traditional business
organization implied a social contract between employees and employers. By adhering to a fixed set of obligations and sharply
defined functions and responsibilities, workers received a predefined set of rewards.The Organizational structure which Toffler
called in 1970 became the norm 20 decades later, and with it came altered concepts of authority. As organizations became
transitory, the authority of their company and firm was replaced with the jurisdiction of the individual supervisor. This
entrepreneurial management model is currently being replicated throughout society. As a result, the individual business operator
must internalize ever increasing organizational purposes.

Another Shift In the present business environment is dealing with government agencies. Their effect on the behavior of company
most recently seems to have increased. As industries don't attain high levels of ethical behavior or individual companies exhibit
specific lapses, the government rushes in to fill the breach with its regulations.

Effective Communications play an integral part in managing and operating any successful small business. With open communications
changes and their effects on the business are quickly shared. Your company then has the time and skills needed to respond to
changes and take advantage of evolving opportunities.

The next Checklist addressing how you would respond to a worker's proposal offers an evaluation of the communication process in
your business. Place a check beside the statements that are generally heard in your company.

Balancing Schedules Stress and Personnel. With no organization and decent management the compressed time programs related to
contemporary business can lead to stress and make extraordinary demands on individuals. An effective management structure can
lessen stress and channel the productive capacity of workers into company growth and profits.

Setting Duties Tasks and Responsibilities. An organization is distinguished by the nature and determination of employees'
responsibilities tasks and responsibilities. While many organizations use various methods for determining these it's vital that
they be clearly defined.

The center of any Organization is its people and their own functions. Duties tasks and responsibilities frequently evolve in an ad
hoc manner. A normal company starts with a couple of people frequently one doing all duties. As the company grows others have been
hired to fill certain functions often on a functional basis. Roles which were managed by consultants and specialists outside the
firm are now handled internally. As new demands emerge new roles are developed.

Another key to Successful direction lies in controlling battle. Conflict cannot be eliminated from the company or the
interpersonal activities of this enterprise. A measure of this organization's success is that the degree to which conflict can be
subjected and the energies associated with it channeled to build up the company. Although establishing policies and processes
represents the tangible component of management and organization the mechanisms to tolerate and embody challenges to the
established operation serve as the actual gist of a firm which will survive and thrive.

Even though you May find that certain events are affecting your company be careful to not alter the organizational structure of
your company without discussing it with your management staff. Employees normally can accomplish goals despite organizational
arrangements imposed by management. Since restructuring involves spending a lot of time learning new guidelines implementing a new
organizational structure is costly.

The essence of A prosperous organization can be simply outlined than employed. The Following checklist can help you determine
steps to make sure your management Structure is adequate. Verify the entries that apply to your firm and also find Out what steps
your business should take to improve its management Structure.
