6 Lecciones que hay que aprender (en inglès)
Lesson 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel
and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before
she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After
thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front
of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets
to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me ?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit
and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent
avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her
gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling
the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father,
remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand.
But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once
again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest apologised "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way..
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It
said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss
a great opportunity.
Lesson 3
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch
when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie co me s out. The
Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas ,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Puff! She's gone.
Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on
the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and
the love of my life." Puff! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want
those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw
the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"
The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting
very, very high up.
Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the
top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
"They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating
so much more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth
night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep
you there.
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze
and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow
came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize
how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all
warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the
sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly
dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy,
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend,
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Cuando te despiden porque ganas mucho
Eso es lo que està pasando ahora en la compañìa Circuit City, la segunda compañìa mas grande de artìculos electronicos en Estados Unidos. Ha despedido a 3.400 empleados para contratar a otros que hagan lo mismo pagandoles mucho menos. (Ver artìculo aquì)
Hace 5 años los empleados de ventas ganaban por comisiòn, pero en el 2002 decidieron dejar de pagarles comisiòn y empezar a pagarle por hora. Y ellos justificaron ese cambio diciendo que querìan ahorrarle a la compañìa unos 100 millones de dòlares. Pero tal parece que ya terminaron de gastarse o robarse esos 100 millones porque lo estàn haciendo de nuevo. Estàn despidiendo a esos buenos vendedores y buenos empleados que saben de artìculos electrònicos y que le dan buenas ventas a la compañìa y que aùn asì solo ganaban por hora, por adolescentes que no saben ni donde estàn parados. Si entras a estas tiendas y tienes alguna pregunta, los vendedores te diràn "no sè".
El salario de uno de los presidentes o jefes de alto mando de esta compañìa es de alrededor de un millòn de dolares, pero obviamente prefieren despedir buenos empleados que hacen buenas ventas en vez de ellos disminuir sus exorbitantes sueldos para que no haya necesidad de despedirlos. Ahì està pintado el lindo sistema capitalista. Ahora no solo te despiden si no vendes, sino que tambien te pueden despedir si vendes mucho porque eso implica que estàs ganando mucho.Creo que no hay necesidad de estudiar administraciòn de empresas para saber que si se paga poco, el incentivo para el empleado es poco, y por lo tanto ofrece mal servicio, por lo tanto baja satisfacciòn en el consumidor, y eso conlleva una disminuciòn en las ventas. Y si no hay ventas, la compañìa se quiebra tarde o temprano y por ende el exorbitante salario de estos paràsitos llamados "Chief Executive Officer". Por tratar de ahorrar dinero, lo que van a hacer es perderlo todo.
Y esto no es nada diferente a lo que pasa en colombia, compañìas colombianas han hecho exactamente lo mismo y peor aùn, exigiendo mucho màs para las posiciones. Porque al menos estos americanos saben que van a contratar ineptos y mediocres que no saben lo que estàn vendiendo y no saben de "customer service" pero no les importa. Pero en colombia, no solo hacen estos recortes de personal sino que exigen que los nuevos tengan los mismos o mas diplomas, la misma o màs experiencia, y fuera de eso que no pases de los 30 años y seas atractivo/a por un salario mucho menor.
De verdad que todo esto es vergonzoso y enfermo. Los ricos se convierten cada vez mas inhumanos al querer acumular mas y mas dinero a costa de los de clase media-baja.Los ricos se hacen mas ricos a costa de que los pobres se hacen mas pobres.
La clase media serà muy pronto cosa del pasado...

El meme
No creì que me pasaran el meme del libro, pero Sir Gawain me pasò el meme y aquì estoy juiciosa haciendolo:
La vaina consiste en:
1. Coger el primer libro que se tenga a la mano
2. Ir hasta la página 123.
3.Ir a la quinta oración
4. Copiar las siguientes tres oraciones en el blog
5. Decir el nombre del libro, el autor y pasarle el Meme a otros tres incautos...
El libro se llama "THE ACID-ALKALINE DIET for optimun health" de Christopher Vasey. Un libro excelente que todo el mundo deberìa de leerlo:
"The deacidification of the body, or the correction of an acidified internal environment, therefore requires the neutralization and elimination of a very large quantity of acids. "
Por ahora se lo paso a mi amigo Nitoxxx... voy a ver a quien mas se lo paso!
