Quote of the day

Rather than telling, "You look good in that suit," tell the person, "That suit looks good on you."
- Dale Carneigie

The voice tone and selection of words are very important in any conversation. It can convey right signals and create a positive impression. I don't believe you need to butter people or say good things about them for creating attachment or liking, what you need is genuine interest to listen and talk, give true and honest opinions, be helpful without any hopes.

Great people do it well, I'm trying to get better.

Top 3 Most Watched Sports in the World

Since the Cricket World Cup is beginning in next few days, a debate at work about the most watched Sports started my quest to find out the Top 3 Most Watched Sports in the World. Someone asked me this question and my immediate reply was:

1. Soccer
2. Cricket
3. Was not sure, Tennis or Golf

Being from the Indian sub-continent Cricket had to be in the list, I even joked that if the population of India increases further it can be the most watched Sport.

My colleague asked me a valid point, What do the Chinese and people in Far East follow? I was not sure what sports do they watch. This can change viewer-ship rankings. She told that Tennis might be No 2 and Cricket might be No 3. Seems reasonable, but does anyone have a better answer to this question.

Which are the Top 3 Most Watched Sports ?
