The Yes Factor
"A patient goes to a doctor with an earache. The doctor tells the patient the cause of the earache and writes a prescription. On it he writes, "place in rear."(Doctors have terrible handwriting!). it was meant to read, "R-ear".
The nurse takes the prescription, reads the label, and says to the patient, "Could you slide down your pants and lie on your stomache, please?"
The patient's ear is really bothering him, and while he's little confused about why the nurse wants him to bare his rear, he does it anyway. The nurse goes ahead and rectally administers the drops the doctor had intended for his right ear!.
(it was reported in a book on medication errors by two Temple University pharmocology professors. The nurse didnt question what she thought the doctor had instructed her to do, and neither did the patient.

Philosophy of life
Philosophy of life :::
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.
A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long." they answered in unison.
"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"
The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.
"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. We have a full life."
The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?"
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City , Los Angeles , or even New York City ! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?"
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen..
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans.
And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life.... you may already be there!!!!
Many times in life, money is not everything.
“Live your life before life becomes lifeless”

Hosting
"What is on the chair is more important than what is on the table". Picking your guests for a party is an important step to ensure fun. Filling the sames chair with the same guests party after party---is unimaginative and palling as to serve truffles----------------------

Scared Speechless
Stage fright is an issue that all novice speakers need to deal with first, before they can develop the actual speaking skill. I believe through a combination of practical experience and knowledge one can get through this . It is stated,the number one cause for public speaking anxiety is fear. And the following article address that fear and how to overcome it.
Write a short response to the article, and critically reflect on what scares you when you speak.
