\"question<\/p>\n

.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thoughts:
\n<\/strong>It’s not advisable to leap a twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps.<\/p>\n

Like life…. It’s something to do<\/p>\n

A meeting is often an event where the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.<\/p>\n

If aliens saw us walking our dogs and picking up their poop. Who would they think was in charge?<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Quotes:
\n<\/strong>In the beginning there was nothing. Then God said, “Let there be light”. And there was still nothing… but you could see it now – ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy’<\/p>\n

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. – ‘Bob Marley’<\/p>\n

He who opens a school door… closes a prison. – ‘Victor Hugo’<\/p>\n

The work an unknown good man has done… is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green. – ‘Thomas Carlyle’<\/p>\n

When all is said and done. A lot more is said than done – ‘Lou Holtz’<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Thoughts:
\n<\/strong>Newspaper Ad: FREE PUPPIES. Half Labrador. Half sneaky neighbour’s dog.<\/p>\n

If a cream cake falls in your mouth and no one is around to see it. Does it contain any calories?<\/p>\n

If the boss has to tell you for the fifth time that you are late…. you’ll know it’s Friday already.<\/p>\n

Never run away when you see a bear. Unless you know you can beat some of the other runners.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Quotes:
\n<\/strong>Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately, it kills all its pupils – Louis Hector Berlioz<\/p>\n

It’s not the employer that pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It’s the customer who pays the wages. – Henry Ford<\/p>\n

The first person who decided to say a word instead of throwing a rock can be considered the starter of civilization – Sigmund Freud<\/p>\n

Genius without education is like silver in the mine. – Benjamin Franklin<\/p>\n

The only English words I saw when in Japan, were Sony and Mitsubishi – Bill Gullickson<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

And Finally:
\n<\/strong>Try doing this in your head only… no calculators or pen\/paper:<\/p>\n

Do you follow this sum to add up to 5000 ?
\n<\/strong>Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10<\/p>\n

(confirmation of the correct answer is below…)<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

The actual total is 4100<\/p>\n

Try it on a calculator, if not convinced.<\/p>\n

If you got it right the first time…. you are a star.<\/p>\n
