Joke - The Big Business Way...

The Big Business Way

The American businessman was at the pier of a small, coastal Mexican

village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the

small boat were several, large yellowfin tuna.

The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and

asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican told him it only took

a little while.

The American then asked why he didn't stay out longer and catch more

fish. The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate

needs. The American then asked him what he did with the rest of his

time.

The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my

children, take siesta with my wife Maria, stroll into the village each

evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full

and busy life, senor."

The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and can help you. You

should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat.

With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats.

Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats! Instead of selling

your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processor,

eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product,

processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal

fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA, and eventually NYC,

where you will run your expanding enterprise."

The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"

The American replied, "15-20 years."

"But what then, senor?" asked the Mexican.

"The American laughed and continued, "That's the best part. When the

time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to

the public and become very rich. You would make millions!"

"Millions, senor? Then what?" asked the Mexican.

The American said, "Then you would retire and move to a small coastal

fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids,

take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you

could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos... "

"I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really

excited. I don't know why. That's what they're supposed to do.

but they let it go. They don't want to eat the fish, but they do

want to make it late for something."

"I'm not good at golf, I never got good. I never got a hole in one,

Mother Teresa Quotes...

Mother Teresa Quotes

Mother Teresa (born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu), was born in

1910 in what is now Skopje, Macedonia. She came into the

world on August 26, 1910, although she always wrote that

her birthday was August 27, because that was the day of

her baptism, which she considered more important than her

birth. Some of her more famous quotes are below.

"Let us always meet each other with a smile,

for the smile is the beginning of love."

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love,

a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

"I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor.

Do you know your next door neighbor?"

"Joy is very infectious; therefore, be always full of joy."

"Violence of the tongue is very real - sharper than any knife."

"Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person."

"It is a kingly act to assist the fallen."

"Good works are links that form a chain of love."

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and

restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -

trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the

moon and the sun, how they move in silence...

We need silence to be able to touch souls."

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.

I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."

The Miracle Toddler Diet

People are always on the lookout for a new diet. The trouble

with most diets is that you don't get enough to eat (the

starvation diet), you don't get enough variation (the liquid

people tend to cheat of their diets, or quit after three days.

Well, now there's the new Toddler Miracle Diet.
