Management Course

Saleh — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 13:26:52 +0000

Lesson One:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing A small rabbit
saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit on my ass like you and do
nothing?”

The eagle answered, “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground
below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson:=To be sitting on your ass and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Lesson Two:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to
the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.”

“Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my manure droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of manure and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Lesson Three:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a
cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it 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.

Management Lessons:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) When you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut

The man who can but sketch his purpose beforehand in words is regarded as a wonder, and every artist and writer possesses that faculty. But gestation, fruition, the laborious rearing of the offspring, putting it to bed every night full fed with milk, embracing it anew every morning with the inexhaustible affection of a mother’s heart, licking it clean, dressing it a hundred times in the richest garb only to be instantly destroyed; then never to be cast down at the convulsions of this headlong life till the living masterpiece is perfected which in sculpture speaks to every eye, in literature to every intellect, in painting to every memory, in music to every heart! –this is the task of execution. The hand must be ready at every moment to work in obedience to the mind

Coke or water

Saleh — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 23:58:20 +0000

This is really an eye opener…Water or Coke

We all know that water is important but, I’ve never seen it written down like this before

WATER

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated

In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%

One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a Universityof Washington study

Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and
joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the
risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer

And now for the properties of COKE

In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one

hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion

To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of cokeinto a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains

It will also clean road haze from your windshield

For Your Info

The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis

To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) thecommercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials

The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years

Now the question is, would you like a coke or a glass of water

Do you still want a coke

S’up cowboy?

part of my Mexican friend’s eMail after the Iran Mexico match

In the first 45 minutes I thought that Iran would score us another goal, I was a kind of scared, you were playing very good, what hapenned in the second time??? Anyway, I think that Iran is a hard team to beat, you still have a chance to get in the second round, play hard and you will make it

I wish you luck! I want to see Iran playing with Portugal, it’s going to be very interestant

Adios

Why I love mom

Saleh — Sun, 14 May 2006 01:29:34 +0000

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, “I’m tired, and it’s getting late. I think I’ll go to bed”

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day’s lunches.

Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.

She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button

She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.

She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.

She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.

She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.

Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.

Dad called out, “I thought you were going to bed.”

“I’m on my way,” she said.

She put some water into the dog’s dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.

She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV’s, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.

In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. “I’m going to bed.”

And he did…without another thought.

Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer…?

CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL….. (and we can’t die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
