Self-Improvement-184: Negative Feedbacks
One day a new employee went to the HR and said ..
"I'm not interested in coming to the office anymore.”
The HR responded, "But why?”
Boy: There are people who do a lot of politics and talk negatives all the time. Few do gossips all the time.
The HR replied "OK, but before you go, can you do one last thing sincerely: take a full glass of water and walk three times around the office area without spilling a drop on the floor.
"Afterwards, leave the Office if you wish for.”
The boy thought: It's a matter of minutes for him. And he walked three times around the office floor.
Then he reached HR saying that he is done with it.
And the HR asked "When you were walking around the Office floor did you see any employee speaking badly about another Employee? Any Gossips? Any disturbances?
The Employee replied “No."
HR: "Did you see any Employee looking at other employees in wrong way?"
Boy said "No”
HR: "You know why?”
Boy: "No”
HR: *"You focused on the glass, water, your steps to make sure you didn't tip it and spill any water. The same goes with our life. When our focus is on our priorities, we don't have time to see the negative comments of others.”
Moral of the story.
"Concentrate on your priorities and not on other's negative feedback."

Eyecatchers-209: Government knew of Johnson & Johnson faulty hip implants, took almost two years to ban
Government knew of Johnson & Johnson faulty hip implants, took almost two years to ban
The delay in cancelling the licence assumes significance as the firm told the expert committee — appointed by the Union Health Ministry in February 2017 — that it cannot trace as many as 3,600 patients who underwent the surgeries involving the faulty implant.

GLOBALLY, Johnson & Johnson recalled its faulty hip implant on August 24, 2010 but it took Indian regulators almost two years to ban its import and cancel its licence, official records obtained by The Indian Express reveal.
This despite the fact that the regulator, Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, which comes under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, was informed of the global recall in 2010 itself.

Environment-24: Wealthy Nations outsourcing Pollution
Wealthy Nations outsourcing Pollution
Many wealthy countries have effectively “outsourced” a big chunk of their carbon pollution overseas, by importing more steel, cement and other goods from factories in China and other places, rather than producing it domestically.

DEHRADUN: A SpiceJet
A turboprop aircraft named Haldi became India’s first plane carrying passengers to operate on biofuel when it flew from Dehradun to Delhi on Monday, raising hopes for low-emission flights less dependent on increasingly expensive jet fuel.
The biofuel, derived from the jhatropa plant grown by 500 farmer families in Chhattisgarh, was first tested on a 20-minute flight on Haldi with crew only in Dehradun a day earlier.
After the green fuel performed better than expected, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation cleared the first-ever flight with passengers on Monday.
“The flight result showed biofuel had 1.8% higher energy density than regular aviation turbine fuel,” said.
