A thought for Today

No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined.

No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.

No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Our heads are round so that

thoughts can change direction.

-Francis Picabia, painter and poet (1879-1953)

Thought for the Day

"I am not judged by the number of times I fail,

but by the number of times I succeed; and

the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion

to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying."

~ Tom Hopkins

Never bear more than one trouble at a time.

Some people bear three kinds -
all they have had,

all they have now, and

all they expect to have.

Just praise is only a debt,

I died as a mineral and became a plant,

ONE

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.

I asked for a half dozen nuggets.

"We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied.

"We only have six, nine, or twelve," was

the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?"

"That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets

 

TWO

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.

 THREE

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."

 FOUR

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?"

"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

 FIVE

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

 SIX

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

SEVEN

My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

 EIGHT

Police in Radnor , Pa , interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

 NINE

A mother calls 911 very worried, asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and it should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....

Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency room!

 

Without Outsourcing, they will have real tuff time ahead. Then they'll hire back people at higher cost!

A Thought for Today

I believe I have no prejudices whatsoever.

All I need to know is that a man is a member of the human race.

That's bad enough for me.

 -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)

 

Warren Buffet - SIMPLE AND TRUE

Warren Buffet's advice for 2009

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm

and dented optimism. Our happiness is diluted and

our peace is threatened by the financial illness that

has infected our families, organizations and nations.

Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure

their financial illness and help them recover their health.

They expect the financial experts to provide them

with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these

experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my

beacons to guide my future. This self-prescribed therapy

has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and

not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the financial

wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially

wiser.

Hard work:

All hard work bring a profit,

but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Laziness:

A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.

Earnings:

Never depend on a single source of income.

[At least make your Investments get you second earning]

Spending:

If you buy things you don't need,

you'll soon sell things you need.

Savings:

Don't save what is left after spending;

Spend what is left after saving.

Borrowings:

The borrower becomes the lender's slave.

Accounting:

It's no use carrying an umbrella,

if your shoes are leaking.

Auditing:

Beware of little expenses;

A small leak can sink a large ship.

Risk-taking:

Never test the depth of the river with both feet.

[ Have an alternate plan ready ]

Investment:

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I'm certain that those who have already been

practicing these principles remain financially healthy.

I'm equally confident that those who resolve to start

practicing these principles will quickly regain their

financial health.

Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy,

prosperous and peaceful life.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

 

Each morning puts a man on trial and

each evening passes judgment.

-Roy L. Smith

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

 

As the pain that can be told is but half a pain,

so the pity that questions has little healing in its touch.

-Edith Wharton, novelist (1862-1937)

Thoughts for the Day

"People never improve unless

they look to some standard or

example higher or better than themselves."

 

"Life... It tends to respond to our outlook,

to shape itself to meet our expectations."

 

"I know I can; I know I can."

When you say, "I know I can,"

you're giving yourself permission to succeed.

 

 

Nothing succeeds like success! So schedule it!

 

 

Select one activity that looks

as difficult as your first two-wheeler,

and schedule a time this week to get on it.

 

 

Just 4 words separate the most successful people

in the world from those who struggle to just get by:

Expect More ~ Execute Better.

A Thought for the Day

Love is an act of endless forgiveness,

a tender look which becomes a habit.

-Peter Ustinov

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

 

Laughter and tears are meant to

turn the wheels of

the same machinery of sensibility;

one is wind-power, and the other water-power.

-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., poet, novelist, essayist, and physician (1809-1894)
