Service and Graciousness
If Customers treat you like dirt, you are not going to serve with pride. And customers have to know, that the person is serving you doesn’t mean he or she is a slave or a servant

Why r we working so hard?
Why r we working so hard?
Want to know why u r working so hard?
On the very first day of the world, God created the cow.
He said to the cow:
'Ah Gu (cow), today I have created you!
Your job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long.
You will provide the energy to pull things!
You will also provide milk for people to drink!
You are to work all day under the sun! In return, you will only eat grass.
For that, you will have a life span of 50 years.'
Ah Gu objected.
'What.. I work all day in the sun and I get only to eat grass!
On top of that, I have to give my milk away!
This is tough and you want me to live 50 years!
I'll take 20 and you can have the remaining 30 years back!'
God agreed.
On the next day, God created the dog.
He said to the dog.
'Ah Kow (dog), I have created you for a purpose.
You are to sit all day by the door of your master's house!
Should anyone come in, you are to bark at them!
In return, you will eat your master's leftovers.
I'll give you a life span of 20 years.'
Ah Kow objected. ' What!
I have to sit by the door all day and will need to bark at people, and
what do I get...LEFTOVERS...
This isn't right, I'll take 10 and you can have the remaining 10 years
back!'
God agreed again.
On the third day, God created the monkey.
He said to the monkey.
'Lao Kao (monkey), your job is to entertain people.
You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces!
You will also do somersaults and swing on trees to amaze them.
In return, you will get to eat bananas and peanuts.
For that, I'll give you 20 years to live.'
Naturally the monkey objected. 'This is ridiculous, I gotta make faces and
make people laugh let not even come to the part
about the trees and somersaults. Tell you what, I'll give 10 years of my
life to thank you for my existence and I'll take 10.
What do you think?'God agreed again.
On the forth day, God created humans.
God said to the man.
'You are my best piece of work, for that, you will only need to sleep,
eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep again and do nothing else.You will get to eat
all the best things and play with the best toys.
All you need to do is enjoy all your life. For this kinda of life, I'll
give you 20 years.'
Just like the rest, the man objected.
'What, all I need to do is relax and enjoy myself and I have only 20 years
to live? Tell you what, you've 30 years back from Ah Gu, 10 years from Ah
Kow and another 10 from Lao Kao and you probably don't know what to do
with all
those lifes. Why not I take them all and I'll have 70 years to live?'
God being such good natured, agreed with a smile.....
AND THAT IS WHY.....
We eat, sleep, play and enjoy for the first 20 years of our lives when we
are growing up.
Work like a cow for the next 30 to raise our family.
Sit outside the door and bark at people for the next 10 when we are
retired.
And finally, we make faces and perform monkey tricks to entertain our
grandchildren for the final 10 years.
Computer Problem
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Richard, the 11 year
Old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to
Come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?
He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'
I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An,ID
Ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
Richard grinned. 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error
Before?'
'No,' I replied.
'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T
I used to like the little shit.
Have A Great Day and
An Even Greater Week!
Friends.....
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
