About "500 Miles"

Last day I was searching for something else and this song came across. Its charm really attracted me. This is being categorized in country song or folk song which was so popular in the United States and Europe during 1960s. The song is all about a lonely traveller who is far from home, out of money and too ashamed to return. The song offers the lament by that traveller. The song is popularly known as “500 miles away from home” or “Railroaders’ Lament. The song is considered to be written by Hedy West as he is said to have learnt a version of the song as a child from her paternal grandmother. The first recording of the song that gained attention - meaning that virtually every other version below was derived from it - was by the fabulous Journeymen - Dick Weissman, Scott MacKenzie (of "San Francisco" fame) and soon-to-be Papa John Phillips.
The song hit the floor by American country music singer Bobby Bare in 1963.Country legend Bobby Bare had the charting single version of the song with a lyric that he completely re-wrote and copyrighted. It has also been recorded by Peter, Paul&Mary, The Hooters and many others. “500 miles” which you are hearing is being sung by “The Hooters”. Follow the lyrics.....it’s really nice......

"500 miles away from home"

500 Miles

If you missed the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles,

A hundred miles, a hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name

And the land that I once loved is not my own

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,

Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

A hundred tanks along the square

One man stands and stops them there

Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free

I'll be free, I'll be free I'll come home to my country

Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free

If you missed the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone

You can hear the whistle blow a handred miles

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,

Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home...

I'll be free, I'll be free

I'll come home to my country

Load I'm five hundred miles away from home

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

500 miles

CONFESSION

It was not my mistake, it rained...

I never hurt the sky to cry

It was not my mistake,sun hid...

I never cursed him for burning me

It was not my mistake, moon stared...

I never teased him with jasmine

It was not my mistake, stars laughed at...

I never told them my dreams

It was my mistake,I pride aloud...

"Sunny days are ever for me,

To make me laugh, love and learn

Moon and stars are ever for me

To show me the way in darkness"

Was it my mistake, that I mistook..

They never mistake on my takes,

Business Sustainability - Ticks and Tricks

Business Sustainability:

Business Sustainability is a broad term which can be defined in dimensions of Time and Growth. It is a pursuit of nonstop life time growth, keeping up with the changing time and market trends. Growth can be either vertical or horizontal but it should help the organization to survive in this hyper competitive world of opportunities. To sustain in this world each business or profit centre should do the cost - value and risk – return analysis of its products and services as people prefer high quality at a lowest cost.

The business sustainability can be achieved only through the proper relationship management of internal and external customers which ultimately leads to increased shareholder value. Proper management of external customers (end user of product or service) can be attained through continued innovation, excellence in service delivery, at low cost. Equipping the internal customer (Product or service provider) to satisfy the need of end user by providing proper training, excellent infrastructure which is supported by proper branding leads to a better relationship between these different entities. This will increase the share holders’ value and helps in maintaining the business sustainability.

It’s therefore essential for today’s business planners to start focusing on the rest of the planet. Fortunately a strategy centred on emerging markets can be both financially profitable and socially responsible” Barbara Kux of the Dutch multinational Royal Philips Electronics.

Gifts and appraisal can make a great influence in employee motivational level and which leads to grab the buy in of employees in the process of upturn the downturn.
