Fwd: Clever Advertisment

Some Clever Advertising ...


Life-size stickers of people were stuck on automatic

sliding doors at a mall in Mumbai , India .
When someone approaches, the doors move apart

'People move away when you have body odour'.




Cool advertisement found in Malaysia .
A sticker was placed on the high voltage box depicting

that powerful Duracell batteries were used.





An ambient exercise to promote Eatalica burgers.

A 'Caution - Wet Floor' board was placed near an Eatalica burger signboard.
The copy on the board reads, 'Oogling at the burger

may involuntarily cause drooling, which may in turn lead to a wet floor.

age that these headlights are 300%

Fwd: JOKE

Good story with Hilarious Ending .......... Cheers


A woman is having an affair during the day while her husband is at work
.

Her nine-year-old son comes home unexpectedly,
sees the illegal lovers and hides in the bedroom cupboard to watch. Then the woman's husband unexpectedly comes home.

She hides her lover in the cupboard, not realizing that her little boy is in there already. The little Boy says:
'Dark in here.'
The Man says:
'Yes, it is.'
Boy: 'I have a soccer ball, do you want to buy it?'
Man:
'No, thanks.'
Boy: 'My dad's outside, I'll call him if you don't buy it!'
Man:
'OK, how much?'
Boy:
'$1,000.'

A few weeks later it happened again , and the boy and the lover were in the cupboard together again.
Boy:
'Dark in here.'
Man:
'Yes, it is.'
Boy: 'I have soccer boots.'
The Man, remembering the last time, asks the boy: 'How much?'
The Boy says
:'$5,000.'
The Man says:
'Fine, I will buy them.'

A few days later, the Father says to the boy:

'Grab your ball and boots,
let's go outside and have a game.'
The Boy says:
'I can't, I sold them for $ 6,000.'
The Father says: 'That's terrible to overcharge your friends like
that...
$ 6,000 is way more than those two things cost.

I'm going to take you to church and make you confess your 'SINS.'
They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the
confession booth and he closes the door.

The Boy says:
'Dark in here.'
The Priest says: 'Don't start that again!'

THIS IS MY CHURCH, NOT YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE !

Fwd: Local Gal of the Day 1708

Fwd: All the employee are very important, once re-sign doesn't


在職時都很重要,離職後都不重要

「所有員工在職時都很重要,離職後都不重要 ]

All the employee are very important, once re-sign doesn't

在職場不做徒勞無功的事
記得以前有位同事離職前多拉了幾個人走,以為會對公司的業務造成影響,經我觀察的結果做了結論:完全沒有影響,缺人找人,頂多資深員工辛苦點,對公司來說,「所有員工在職時都很重要,離職後都不重要」,沒有一個員工是非留不可的,這似乎就是職場常態近20年以來,我長時間在美台兩地以理財專家的立埸談理財,幫助客戶及社會大眾做好理財。

我常強調做好理財的目的是錢盡其用,讓錢發揮最大的效用,一個相關的重要原則就是凡事講究划算。

我覺得以這樣的現實觀點來看工作,和我倡議的『回到蠻荒』觀點倒是有相通的地方,那就是不做徒勞無功的事,或沒有成果的事。

蠻荒的動物都能秉持這樣的原則工作。所以依現實的原則看工作,現代人工作的目的應該只是為了能賺錢,除此以外無他。

以下是探討這類觀點的專家所提供的一些工作原則,不妨做為參考:

原則 1:工作真的只是一份工作 [A job is just a job]
不要期待工作與生活能兼顧,事實上也沒幾個人能將工作與生活成功的整合起來,工作並不是生活,我們工作是為了要過生活,或保有自己所喜歡的生活。

想想看,你一天或一個禮拜能有多少時間和家人相處,或和親朋好友去做一些你喜歡做的事,就可以知道要兼顧工作與生活是不可能的。工作只是工作,目的是為了賺錢。

原則 2 :不要害怕換工作 [don't afraid to change]
工作既是為了賺錢,只要可能賺更多錢,或做起來更愉快、更有滿足慼,何妨就換工作?
而且,以這樣的原則換工作,收入當然會越換越多,跳槽可能也會變得稀鬆平常。
只要每次工作時都全力以赴,有稱職的表現,對雇主和業界都能交代,應該隨時可以找到下一個工作的機會。

原則 3:一鳥在手勝過十鳥在林 ["a bird in hand is better than ten birds in woods"]
很多公司都聲稱他們有優渥的福利制度,包括退休金計劃。可是不斷有事實告訴我們,越來越多的人在屆滿退休之前就失去工作了。所以爭取眼前的福利可能更實際,比較值得期待,例如包括健康醫療保障在內的團體保險、托嬰照顧、親職休假、績效獎金的分發,增加加班費或年終獎金等等。

原則 4:謀生本事不厭其多 [Be skillfull]
新世紀的工作與收入可能會變得不穩定,產業的興衰或輪替也會變得快速無比,在同一家企業內辛苦一輩子可能會以失業收場。

所以橫向拓展各方面的技能,會比縱向的在企業的組織內向上攀爬追求位高權重還要實際。其實現在已有不少企業也『學會』了一些聰明的技巧,對授予好聽的高階職位並不吝惜,可以讓你擁有耀眼的頭銜,但對薪資增加並沒有多大幫助。

與其追求這種虛名,不如讓自己能具備十八般武藝可以多方面賺錢,隨時跳槽。

原則 5 :做好份內工作就回家去 [Done your job n go home]
再提醒你,工作只是工作,公司少了你一個人的工作,照樣可以運轉下去。

踏實的學習你的工作所該具備的技能,努力做好你的工作,但不要奢望你可以憑一己之力多為公司創造多少業績或產能。

不要因此耗掉你大量的私人時 間,讓自己從生活 中抽離出來。記住,做好自己份內的工作,然後回家去。

原則 6:遠離辦公室政治 [Away from Office politic]
你工作的目的是為賺取合理的收入,而不是追求虛名與權位,所以不用在心思在辦公室政治上。
當紅炸子雞可能因改朝換代而去職走路,被冰凍的失志衰老也可能鹹魚翻身。
與其耗費時間介入這些無實際意義的辦公室鬥爭,不如多花時間在自己的家庭。
