Corporate Jokes - SICK Leave

I urgently needed a few days off work,
but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave.
I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then
he would tell me to take a few days off.
So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing?
I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb
so that the Boss would
think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office
and asked "What are you doing?"
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said "You are clearly stressed out.
Go home and recuperate for a couple of days".
I jumped down and walked out of the office.
When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me,
the Boss asked her

"...And where do you think you're going?"
..
( You're gonna love this..... )
..
She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!

Just Do It -The Right Attitude

Hey Planet,

JUST DO IT!

I love this line from Nike...Although these are just three
simple words, they are really powerful.

Many times, we get caught up in the process of analyzing
just a bit too much. We spend days, weeks and sometimes
even months before we decide whether a project is good for us
or not.

And most of the time, after spending so much time we end up
not doing anything at all! What a waste of time and energy!

Don't get into what we call "Paralysis due to Analysis!"
It will not get you anywhere.

By all means, you should do a thorough research before starting
something. But do the research fast, and get going. Do not
spend a lifetime thinking about something.

Don't try to learn everything about a project before starting.
You just cannot.

Can you learn swimming without getting in the water ? No!
Can you learn to ride a bicycle without getting on it? No!

Just start! And you will learn along the way.

Just Do It!!

Remember, success is just a decision away!

Dreams Come True - Only with Determination

Hey Planet,

This is the stuff of movies: a young man, in the face of personal and professional challenges, struggles against the odds and finally achieves his dreams.

Naozumi "Nao" Tsuchiyama, a 26-year-old Japanese language instructor whose right leg was amputated as a child and now wears a prosthetic, had always wanted to become a boxer.

To do so, he needed a boxing license but was denied this in his home country on account of his physical condition. So, he went abroad but even then it wasn't easy for him.
The first time he applied for a boxing license from the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) in the Philippines, he was rejected because his condition was deemed not fit for boxing. Medical examinations showed otherwise, but the GAB would not budge.

Last August, he took part in a trial fight in the Philippines where he impressed the GAB officials in attendance. Despite a favorable recommendation from these representatives who were impressed with his performance, the GAB still rejected his application.

Undeterred, Nao persisted and flew to South Korea to take part in the World Boxing Association's annual conference. He returned to the Philippines with the assurance that there is no international policy preventing him from fighting professionally. This time around, the GAB relented and gave him his license.
Nao will be fighting his third match in the Philippines on Aug 9. JobStreet.com is proud to support Nao's endeavor.

I hope his tale will inspire everyone to pursue their dreams. If there's a will, there's always a way.

Words by Richest Man on Earth

Here is a good one from the richest man on earth!


As hard as a lot of people might find the content below... I'm drawn to it
as a lesson I'd like my daughter, nieces and nephew to get from somewhere.

: Bill Gates

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things
they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how
feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids
with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for
failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will
expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about
yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it
opportunity.

Rule 6: I f you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine
about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they
are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your
clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you
were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of
your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but
life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and
they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.
This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off
and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF.
Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually
have to leave the coffee shop a nd go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

PS: Sounds true for some huh?, as you read through. Bill Gates is indeed a practical and market driven person. Let's learn something from him.
