My daughter knows something

Yesterday afternoon, my wife brough her back home early as she was not working.

When she is back home, the daughter just pull out all the toys and lay it on the floor to play with it. One of her favourite toy was the mini "fish" that will "swim around this fully automated machine, and it will sound out pretty loud music, and she will be enjoy looking at it.

However, she would normally have problem switching on the toy as her finger can't really reach that small on/off switch at the back, so when my mother in-law wanted to help her switch it on, my daughter actually put her little finger on her lips (meaning to keep quiet) and then, she place both palm together and put it beside her ear and tilted her head on the both palm (meaning sleeping).

Then my mother in-law realise that the grandfather is sleeping in the room, thus my daughter ask her don't switch it on.

She don't talk much though, but she knows something!!

The Law of Garbage Truck

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can re-focus on what's important.


Sixteen years ago, in the back seat of a cab, I learned the strategy of re-focussing and the inner peace it brings. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a red car backed out of a parking space right in front of us.


My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the red car's back end by inches! The driver of the other car, whipped his head around and savagely abused us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.


I said, "Why did you just do that, he almost ruined your cab and sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck." "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage. As their garbage piles up, they become full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment and they need a place to dump it. If you let them, they'll dump it on you.


When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally; instead just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did." I started thinking, how often do I act like a garbage truck?


And how often do I take other people's garbage and spread it; at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do it anymore." Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.


Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Never let that garbage truck run over you or pick you up along its route._________________

Uncle on scooter

This morning, i was travelling to work. I met this uncle on his scooter, infront of me.

Upon seeing me in his rear mirror, he speed up. I had no intention to speed with him, just that I'm maintaining my usual speed, and i'm slowly ovetaking him.

He was travelling somewhere behind 2 vehicles, which i'm now infront of him on his right hand side, but i do not wish to just cut infront of him as he is in my left back corner, as i afraid may cause him to jam brake, so i waited, hoping he slow down abit, so i can do it safely.

When the car on his left front clear up, he speed up and and overtake me, while i'm stuck behind this car.

He was speeding all the way toward this traffic light (with right turn arrow on), so i speed up too, hoping to pass that traffic light. (both of us are turning right)

ok, now, i saw he brake very early and slow down alot, before taking the right bend, i was just taking my own pace, brake, drop a couples of gears, and take it with normal speed and angle. After this traffic light, there is another traffic junction which we are turning left, and this uncle really slow down so much that, only when i came up straight after the left turn junction, i only manage to see him completing the bend.

After that, i just maintain my own pace, which he is "suppose" to be faster than me on the straight? I wonder, what he is trying to proof???

He is just slowly disppearing from my side mirror...

EQ level of this boss

Just found out a inside news of this Chinese business boss EQ level…

One of the staff have resign and left the coy last Friday, and when she is serving her notice period, which is 2 weeks. The boss actually ask her into his office.

The conversation between them, B = boss , S = staff

B: “when is your last day?”

S: “2 weeks later”

B: “I have a suggestion, you do not need to serve the notice period, you can don’t come in from tomorrow onward” (so that the boss can save some $$"salary" from this notice period)

S: “boss, but the other staff may misunderstood that I was being fired, if I just leave so sudden”

B: “hmm, since you need the salary (money) so badly, you can stay till your notice period is over”

S: “boss, I think is ok, my last day will be on this Friday then”


From start till end of conversation, the boss didn’t even mentioned any thing like if she would want to consider staying back with the coy. No wonder, the staff turn over rate in this coy is very high.

Good boss story

I’ve been working for this guy for ten year’s now And we’ve been thru allot as far as his business goesThere was allot of fighting, yelling, mutual almost heart attacks giving and allot of good times as wellWe accomplish allot together; me thru hard work, he thru hard work and using his big noggin I would like to think I was instrumental in his success and I know he was absolutely vital in fixing my financial situation and digging me out of a financial hole


His a really cool dude and my only regret is that as the business gets bigger I get less time of acutely working with the guy, he’s just a funny guy and a hard worker two thing I don’t witness allot with my fellow employeesSo yesterday mike, my boss calls me and say; hey muddy, I’ve got some sod that I’m gonna need some help getting off the truck in my house, do you mind coming here on Sunday to help me?


It’s only gonna take half an hour, an hour at the most, would you mind?Well I didn’t mind even thou we had my wife’s college friend came to visit us (the fact that the guy, knowing that I’ve been bike less for thirteen years now, still didn’t bring his SV650 [that I’ve recommended to him…] helped a little) it was no skin of my back plus I told him; hey I want some of that sod too and he was like; sure, I’ll split it with you


So cool, I take the wife’s CRV, put some plastic on the back so to not dirty her car and I take offI go to his house and him, his future wife and the office manger (hoes living next to the sod company and been known to get sod for a case of beer) are all sitting on his deck and small talkingI sit down and converse for few minutes and then he asks the office mngr. if she called the sod company, she says yes; they’ll be here in five to ten minutes


So he says hey muddy; help me move this statue that my soon to be future have bought, I look off the deck and In the middle of his yard there’s a big thing cover in tarp So as we go down to the yard I think to my self; good lord this looks big and heavy, what did I get my self into? But that’s ok, I really don’t mind helping my boss, he’s been generous to me thru the years so what ever needs to be done will be done


On the grass mike kinda veer to the right (away from the statue) and tells me; take the tarp off so we can grab this thing and move itSo I did…First thing I’ve notice as I pull off the tarp is the letter “H” on what seemed to be engine casing and I think to my self; what the hell?


His statue is a Honda lawnmower???As the tarp goes up and more gets revealed my mind goes blank and I get tunnel vision…


It was definitely not a Honda…...The “lawnmower” part was close, but no cigar


It was what I’ve been dreaming off now for a long time right down to the color that I wanted It’s a 08 supermotard motorcycle!And it’s my BONUS for the year!!!!!!!!!!!!


Needless to say it got very emotional thereI still get chocked up just thinking about itAnyway, I just needed to share and let every body know that MIKE is the BEST BOSS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!I’m going down to the garage now to kiss and caress herIt’s on guys,… …

IT”S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!Oh yeah, there’s a moral to this story here somewere…...But I’m just way too excited to think about what it is right now


well, You know the old story, "take good care of your employees and they'll take care of the business"

Another joke

A 17 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she
has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit.

The test result shows that the girl is pregnant
Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "who was
the pig that did this to you? I want to know!"

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.
Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of
their house.
A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and
impeccably dressed in an
Armani suit steps out of the of the Ferrari and
enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, mother,
and the girl and tells them:

"Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life.
“Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a
Ferrari, a beach house, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beachfront villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account.”

“If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of
factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.”
“However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"

At this point, the father, who had remained silent,places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuck her
again."
