A small #Story which is a fine example of presence of mind. 🧠
A Professor👨🏫 started his class on a very serious Topic. The moment he turned towards the blackboard, one of the students🧑🎓whistled. He turned, looked at the class & asked the Whistler's name. No one answered. 1/8
The Professor kept the Pen in his pocket saying: "Lecture ends here. I'll tell u a story to utilise the remaining time". 2/8 (story source-FB)
"Yday night I tried hard to sleep💤, but it was miles away from my eyes, so I thought I'd better get petrol in my car, which will save time nxt morning & might induce sleep. After having my tank full, I started roaming in that area, enjoying the peace of a traffic free ride. 3/8
Suddenly, on the corner I saw a girl🏃♀️ who was as young & beautiful as the clothes she was wearing. Must have been returning from a party. Out of courtesy, I turned my car🚘 towards her & asked if I may be of any help. 4/8
She asked me if I could drop her to her home, she'll be very obliged, to which I agreed.
She sat in the front seat w/me. We started talking, & to my amazement she was v intelligent, had control on many topics which many youngsters don't. 5/8
When we reached her address🏡, she admitted my courteous nature & behavior and accepted that she had fallen in love 💘with me.
I also admitted her intelligence & beauty and that I've also started liking her💓. I told her about my job as a professor👨🏫 in the university🏫. 6/8
The girl💃 asked my 📱number, which I gave her willingly. Then she asked me a favor, to which I couldn't have denied naturally.
She said that her brother is a student🧑🎓 in the same university, and asked me to take care of him, since we'll be in a long relationship now.7/8
I asked the name of the student. She said that I'll recognise him with one of his very prominent quality, He whistles a lot!
All eyes in the classroom turned towards the boy who had whistled.
The professor said: "I didn't buy my Ph.D in Psychology.. I earned it”. 😎 8/8 - End

One stormy night many yrs ago, an elderly man & his wife entered the lobby of a small hotel in Philadelphia, USA. Trying to get out of the rain, the couple approached the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night. 1/11 Story #Thread
“Could you possibly give us a room here?” – the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple & explained that there were three conventions in town. “All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said. 2/11
“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.” 3/11
Not sure how many of you remember there was a Detergent bar called #501 from the house of #TATAS.
It had a bright yellow packaging. #Thread#Investing#Finance (1/4)
It was A Tomco (Tata Oil Mills) brand those days. It was named 501 because Tomco chief Jal Naoroji, a nationalist, felt it could do one better than a soap called ‘500’ which existed abroad. The soap was also priced right for the masses at Rs.10/100cakes. 2/4
Later the levers brand wanted to kill the Indian brand & priced their brand below cost which was Rs.6/100 cakes. Jal naoroji didnt bother & waited but in just 3months, the lever company raised their price as they could no longer continue selling below cost. 3/4
Why I bought this Stock which was making so much negative news w/its vaccine ? #StockMarket#Investing
#AstraZeneca is ranked 12th in the world & has a market cap of 100.57B. They have a huge portfolio of drugs to treat diabetes, cancer & respiratory problems. 1/5 #ASTRAZEN
So I had the belief that few issues with covid vaccine might not work negatively for a company which had such high profile drugs in its kitty.
On 4th jan 2021, #ASTRAZEN made a high of 4910 & it slowly started retracing. 2/5
This was when #Covid vaccine was out after all trials & approvals. But in Europe & other places there were cases of unusual blood clots w/the vaccine & naturally the stock started falling. On 9th feb, stock was trading at 3745 & it caught my attention. Support identified 👇3/5
She managed to amass a $9.2m fortune whilst spending her entire 67 year-long career as a legal secretary. @dmuthuk#Investing#Thread 1/8
Even her closest friends and relatives had no idea she had amassed such a sum, until, upon her death in 2016, her will provided for $8.2m in donations to various charities for needy children. 2/8
But how did she accumulate such a massive pot for someone who never earned more than a secretary’s salary? By all accounts, she was a frugal person, living in a rent-controlled apartment in New York and avoiding all trappings that come with wealth. 3/8
