Management Lessons

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting.

On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp.They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"

So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff, and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff, and he was also gone. The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm."

Lesson I *Moral of the story is: "Always allow the bosses to speak first"


Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the Shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

Lesson II * Moral of the story: "Never, never assume that your BOSS knows everything. *

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean. The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over he question. The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you ... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......???" The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese." A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked What kind of key' was he. The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee' am I ?!" The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"


Lesson III *Moral of the story is: "Never insult anyone." *

There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true." The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted "WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool. Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so> contented with his beer pool. The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted,Lwess "SHIT!!!!!!!........."

Lesson IV - *Moral of the story is: "Think twice before you say something, because sometimes accidents do happen." *

後台的朋友

莎士比亞說：“人生如舞台”據此，人有前台，也有後台。

前台，是粉墨登場的場所，費盡心思，化好了妝，穿好了衣服，準備好了台詞，端好了架式，調勻了呼吸，一步步踱出去，使出渾身解數。該唱的，唱得五音不亂；該說的，說得字正腔圓；該演的，演得淋漓盡致。於是博得滿堂彩，名利雙收，躊躇滿志而回。

然而，當他回到後台，脫下戲服，卸下妝彩，露出疲累而飢黃的臉部表情時，後台裡沒有一個朋友在等他，和他說一句真心話，道一聲辛苦，或默默交換一個眼色，這些都對他很重要。這個眼色，比前台的滿堂彩要受用、必要！

人有沒有這樣的朋友，是很重要的。後台的朋友，是心靈的休息地。在他面前，不必化妝，不必穿戲服，不必做表情，不必端架子，可以說真心話，可以說洩氣話，可以說沒出息的話，可以讓他知道你很脆弱、很懦弱、很害怕，每次要走出前台時都很緊張、很厭惡。

因為你確知後台的朋友只會安慰你，不會恥笑你，不會奚落你。況且，在他面前早己沒甚麼形象可言了，也樂得繼續沒形象下去。

人生有一個地方，有一個人，在這人面前，可以不必有出息，可以不必有形象，可以暴露弱點，可以全身都是弱點，這是很大的解放。有此解放，人乃可以在解放一陣子之後，重拾勇氣，重披戲服，再施化妝，端起架子，走到前台去扮演該演的角色，做一個人模人樣的人物，奉獻自己，幫助別人。（星洲日報/柬埔寨．2007.06.08）

Children Who Would Drive You Mad!!

Glass of Milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his
nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me anything," she replied... "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said ... "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and
quit.

Many year's later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called
in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.

Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ..

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?!

Whose daughter is standing in front of the house?
They looks very brave and wearing a simple clothing in the winter.
Beware of the sharks above!!
What are you building?
