What is your Birth Flower?

Similar to a birthstone and an astrological sign, there are birth flowers which have a corresponding meaning and character that is being attributed to the person who was born during a certain month. Check out your birth flower and consequent personality traits:

1. January Birth Flower – Carnations : People who are born during January have carnation as their birthday flower. It is also known as gillyflower and clove pink and is widely harvested in many different colours and varieties. The name of the flower is derived from the Greek word corone (coronation) and means 'flower of the Gods'.

Flower Meaning of Carnation : Carnations symbolise deep love, fascination, a friend in adversity and eternal fidelity.

Personality traits associated with carnation : Individuals who have carnation as their birth flower are strongly motivated to succeed and gain a position of power in life. They strive for respect and accomplishment in their careers. They are emotional and sensitive and are very responsible and protective towards their families. But the biggest barrier in their success is their communication skills; they need to learn to openly communicate their deep feelings.

Chinese Way of Making Cars

Chinese are the best Xerox Machines in the World!!!

Many Chinese manufacturers are also following this easy way of producing cheap cars by imitating successful designs. The Chinese market is often called 'The Gray Market', simply because of their stunning replicas. But hey! These are very good copies of the originals!

One Chinese car company Shuanghuan was banned for selling its BMW X5 look alike called the 'CEO' in the EU and fined a hefty sum. Even cars like the Chevrolet Spark (Geely, China), the Smart fortwo, have not been spared.

1. Chevrolet Spark vs Chery QQ
The QQ became the center of an industrial copyright and intellectual rights controversy, as General Motors claimed the car was a copy to the Daewoo Matiz (which is marketed outside South Korea as the Chevrolet Spark). GM executives demonstrated the extent of the design duplication, noting for example that the doors of the QQ and those of the Spark are interchangeable without modification. This one was so extreme, some parts of one car fit into the other (e.g. door panel, bonnet etc). GM China Group indicated the two vehicles "shared remarkably identical body structure, exterior design, interior design and key components."

Story of a Bird

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shit on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!
