Can you afford to remain not working? ♥



We may/may not fall ill.
We may/may not live long;
But one thing is for sure:
EVERYONE will retire one day.

Income stops when we no longer work.
Can you afford to remain not working?
Can you afford to do what you want & when you want it?
Can you afford to relax with no more stress?
Can you afford to pursue activities which you have not had enough time for?

Therefore, START saving now.

"Little imperfections that make them perfect for you"... Isn't this so true?

Life is so short to dwell with & complain about the imperfections. Embrace them; for you will miss the very imperfections one day & it would then be forever!

The Story : SELLING COMB TO THE MONKS

There was one company " manufacturing combs "which intends to expand its business and so the management wanted to employ a new Sales Manager .

The company ADVERTISED the vacancy in the newspaper . They are so many peoples turned up for the interview everyday ....accumulated to almost a hundred peoples in just few days .

The Company now having the problem to choose the right candidate for this position . So , The Company interviewer had set A Difficult Task to whom who want to come for final interview .

The Task Is To : Selling Comb To Monks In Temples

Only 3 Applicants willing to stay on for this Final Interview challenge . ( Mr A , Mr B , Mr C ) .

The Chief Interviwer instructed : " Now I want three of you here to sell thses wooden combs to the monks in the temples . You only have 10 days to do it and report to me after that . "

After 10 days , they reported .

The Chief Interviewer asked Mr A : How many have you sold ?
Mr A Answered : Only One .
The Chief Interviewer Asked : How did you manage to sell ?
Mr A Answered : The monks in the temples scolded me when I show them the comb . But on my way back to downhill I met a young monk who bought it to scratch his head due to dandruff . "


The Chief Interviewrer then asked Mr B : How many did you sell ?
Mr B replied : 10 pieces .
I went to a shrine and noticed many devotees's hair was in bad shape due to strong wind outside the shrine . The monk in there listened to my advice and bought 10 combs for their devotees in showing respect to the Buddha statue .

He was very delighted and straight away ordered 1,000 pieces .

MORAL OF THE STORY

HARVARD UNIVERSITY had done a research that says :-

1) 85% of success is due to attitude and 15% is capability .
2) Attitude is more important than intelligence , specials skills and luck .

In another word , professional knowledge only constitutes for 15% of success of a person and 85% is due to self-cultivation , public relation and adaptability ability .

Still remember the story of Selling Shoes to African ? When 2 Salesmen were sent to that continent , One of them reported : Can not do it . No one wears shoes there? The second saleman said : It is good to market . A lot of opportunity .

Success and Failure is dependant on how we face problems .

My dear friends , Do you know eagle lives up to about 70 of age ? But when it reach about 40 yrs old , it claws start to age and can not grab the preys . It also can not fly as well . so , it is time for the eagle to make a choice ; wait for the death or goes through a renewal process . If it choose to live , it must try its best flying to the top of the hill . On the hill top / summit , it will stay for 150 days . Over the top , it will hits it features to the stone so that they will drop and wait for the new ones to grow . after the features have grown enough which is about 150 days , it will continue its balance 30 years life.


Dalai Lama used to say : If you only have smooth sail in life , you will be weak . The teething environment helps to shape you up so that you have the gut to resolve problems .

Though , all of us are undergoing turmoil , we still must greet the new year will optimism .

My dear friends , make your vow again and build a better tomorrow .

Remember , When the economic is good , they are peoples going bankrupt .
When business is bad , they are many new millionaires produced as well .
So, apply now the 85% right working attitude fully. All the best!

IT'S HELL TO GET OLD! (18sx! =p)

IT'S HELL TO GET OLD!
OLD people have problems that you haven't even considered yet!

An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.' The next day the 85-year-old man re-appeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this--first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. 'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.

We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.'

The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbor?' The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get the jar open.'.


HAHAHAHAHA

Happy Good Friday!
