I have stories about politics and this is one of them.
Two men were stopped by a TV newswoman doing street interviews about the upcoming presidential primary election.
“I’m not voting for any of the candidates,” the first man said. “I don’t know any of them.”
Part of our high school educational requirement many years ago was to plant trees. Under the scorching heat of the sun, the continuous prodding of our teachers, we planted trees. Now I don’t know what happened because it is very apparent that I am not gifted with the skill to grow things. Every single flower I planted died. But I suppose some good happened out from the efforts the students did.
The following article from an unknown author is entitled “All I Need To Know About Life I Learned From Trees”. And here are the lessons: Continue reading »
Dr. Seuss came up with a poem entitled “I Love My Job” and it is so funny in its attempt to reflect reality. Now listen to this:
I love my job, I love the pay, I love it more and more each day.
Guy Kawasaki is one of the nicest guys I have ever known. Not only is he nice he is extremely bright. Watch out for his next book scheduled to come out on March entitled: Enchantment. I learn so much from Guy.

It’s a digital world.

Every time I get to speak to bankers all over the country I would chide them and poke them with this provoking thought.

A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The bus driver said, “That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen.”
In a huff, the woman grumbling, frowning and mumbling angrily took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.
“The bus driver insulted me.” She fumed.
We’re into the first week of the New Year. It’s not too late to do some new preparations for this year. After the long holiday breaks, it takes quite a while to recover. I bet you most of the ministers and preachers in church talked about New Year Stuff last Sunday. Were you really paying attention?
What about you and me?
Husband and wife were conversing a few days before the end of the year.
Husband says: “Did you make an New Year’s resolution for the year 2011, dear?”
Wife says: “Yes, I promise starting the first of January I’ll spend less money at the mall.”
I don’t know why but at the start of the year I carry what I call “The Urge.”
Maybe you have it too.
Now what is “The Urge?”
One day in America, this conversation from women passing by a storefront nativity scene was overheard. One of the ladies said: ”Now they’re even trying to bring religion into it!” (Duh?!)
How strange that people would think that Christmas is one giant party without understanding what the celebration is really all about.
