Now Smoking is also injurious for CAREER...!!!

Now Smoking is also injurious for CAREER...!!!

Yeah, its not good news for smokers....!!! If you are looking for a bright career in MNCs or top organizations around the world, you may have forgo your smoking habit. Nowadays, giant recruiters including WHO and UNO have accepted this policy under which they are not recruiting the people who are smokers. Recent recruitment advertisement of WHO also includes this type of sentence 'WE DOES NOT RECRUIT SMOKERS' so it clearly shows their strict policy towards the smokers. The possible reason is that the companies want the healthy employees, and as per the research reports, the employees who are smokers, having more absenteeism due to health reason with compare to those who were not. So if you are looking for a good job, stop smoking and live healthy...!!!

Aung San Suu Kyi @ Harvard

Aung San Suu Kyi @ Harvard

Cambridge, Massachusetts: Myanmar pro-democracy leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi got celebrity treatment from students at Harvard University on Thursday, but insisted she was not an “icon.”

“I don’t like to be referred to as an icon, because from my point of view, icons just sit there,” Suu Kyi said during a lecture before an enthusiastic, overflow crowd at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“I would like you to think of me as a worker. I put a lot of faith in hard work. Even under house arrest, I had to work very hard to live a disciplined life. It was hard work. … Please look upon me as a hard worker.”

Suu Kyi is on a 17-day tour of the United States that included a meeting with President Barack Obama, the receipt of a US Congressional Gold Medal to recognise her efforts to promote freedom and democracy, and visits with Myanmar expatriates.

She has spoken on several college campuses, where her celebrity, forged by years as one of the world’s most prominent political prisoners, has attracted excited crowds.

Suu Kyi’s Nobel Peace Prize came in 1991, while she was under house arrest in Myanmar, enforced by a military dictatorship. The country is also known as Burma.

Elected in April 2012 to the lower house of the Myanmar parliament, Suu Kyi said she was surprised at suggestions she only now had to learn the art of politics.

“I have always seen myself as a politician. What do they think I have been doing for the past 24 years?” she said.

In her lecture, the leader of Myanmar’s National League for Democracy Party said the Southeast Asian nation had a long way to go to become a free society.

“The best way to be a truly responsible citizen in a free society is to act as though you were already a free citizen in a free society,” Suu Kyi said.

India is the only living example of several religion

India is the only living example of several religion

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama today said India is the only example where more than 100 crore people of various religions are living in harmony.

“I am the active messenger of India and keep on promoting Indian treasure of compassion, truth and honesty throughout the world. India is the generator of non-violence and peace,” he said.

The Nobel Peace laureate said, “Every where I have said that India is the only living example of several religion, where more than 100 crore people live in harmony.”


He also termed Dharamsala as his “mother land”.

While welcoming spiritual guru Morari Bapu he said, ”As I spent a major portion of my life in
Dharamsala, I consider it as my ‘Matri Bhumi’ (mother land).”

The Lama was speaking on the opening day of the 9-day Ram Katha at Police Ground here today.

Lama said to Morari Bapu, “I am happy that you didn’t confine yourself to the temples and came out to teach people the lesson of truth and honesty.”

It is now the time that the religious leaders of India should guide the countrymen to keep them away from corruption and injustice.

Dalai Lama said that though the money is important for life, but without peace it too can’t help.
