Management course
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

巧克力棒和青蛙
缅甸执政党30日对外国援助提出批评，对于国际社会仅承诺向缅甸提供1.5亿美元救援太少，表示他们其实需要110亿美元。并说缅甸强热带风暴受害者不需要外国提供的“巧克力棒”，吃青蛙和鱼也能活下去。
灾难来临，灾民是不会乎食物是工厂产的还是天然野生的？只要能延命就够。如果有巧克力棒灾民会很高兴，即使他们也可以抓青蛙。缅甸军政府很可耻。可耻不在于拒绝了巧克力，而在于他替老百姓选择了只能抓青蛙。
公元291年，晋武帝的儿子、又黑又胖又憨愚的晋惠帝端拱于巨大的龙椅之上，大臣们向他禀报外间天灾频频，老百姓无粮，饿死不少。惠帝翻翻大眼珠子，想了想，反问道：“百姓没有粮食吃，为什么不喝肉粥解饱呢？”

旅行
自从上一次三级短片的事件过后，我和女友一直都相安无事。今天会想起陈年往事，也是被女友的好意勾起的。
连续的三天假期，我带女友到Langkawi算是给她机会多了解我，给机会两人相处。坏念头？如果她愿意，我是不介意的。不愿意，难道还霸王硬上钩？
前面说到女友的好意：是因为那一个晚上，我带她到酒店下的沙滩坐着闲聊，女友突然很认真的问我，是不是真的很需要？当然前面发生的种种，不便一一的细诉，就我被她的这一个问题给吓住了。我还想她后面可能会娇羞的说，我愿意，或者生气的骂我，还是什么的 （心里当时有一点的窃喜，也有一点害怕）没想到从他嘴里吐出的是：那你可以去找别的女人，只是别让我知道了。当然，我后来回复她的那些违背良心甜言蜜语也无须一一道出。相信你们都知道我会说什么了。
我只是纳闷，一个女人亲口说出了这一句话，到底她是真心可以接受，还是只是因为愧疚随便说说？还是只是想要探测男人的真心？一个正常的男人，想必会有正常的需要吧！当然如果有一天，猫儿忍不住偷腥也决不会让它的主人知道。我不能说自己是100%的好男人，坏念头常常会有，但是既然选泽做个正格男朋友，那么适当的责任心我还是有的。所以，我忍了！也认了！
这一次 The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa之旅，除了第二天的scuba diving & jungle treks之外，第一，三天，我大部分的时间都花在Gym，更多的时间是在房里看电视。女友还真是背着享受使命而来，除了吃饭，就完全把我这个男友放在零地位，无视我的正常需要 - 户外活动。

回忆录
女人香，多么的令人怀念。自从交了这一个新的女友，我就很少出坡公干。想起了N年前在中国的那一段日子，快乐似神仙, 唇齿留香。相信所有的engineer都心里明白这工作的好处，90%都会乐在其中！白天工作辛苦，夜间大老爷慷慨的提供肖骨的惊魂，真是死一百次也愿意。
我的第一次，是被老爷子赶鸭子上架硬塞了一个超级美女给我。样子，我是记不太清楚了。可我可以很肯定的告诉你是上等货色，价钱不菲啊！功夫一流，三两下就能让你泄了。第一次没经验就这样的平白浪费了老爷子的一笔钱，也没能好好享受。说来惭愧！那次之后就学乖了，在快要爆发的那一刻忍住，略作休息，百战不殆。
印象最为深刻的第N次，那一次看上了一个妹妹，样子清纯说她刚来做的。不过却不是第一次。样子真的比得上电视明星，就是身材可以停好几台战斗机 - 平平无奇，瘦得可怜。那一次没能完事，我还真他x的诅咒了她家的老祖宗好几百次，途中因太过猛烈的抽拉，那话儿顶上了她里头的骨！ 那一次的痛，让我修身养性了好一阵子。
又学了一次乖；此后凡瘦如柴骨的我都不再敢要。宁愿相貌平凡一点的。后来的N次因公司尾牙，这一次妈妈桑极力推荐了一个身材略微肥胖的妹妹给我，保证她能让我满意。我半信半疑，也就要了。试过之后，才知道胖女“内有乾坤”。。 那肉肉肥嫩的x，还真是让人爽快。从此之后，我迷上了肥妞。真是不试不知啊！肥妞也有可爱的一面！
现在，别说是肥妞，就连骨头都没得吃。苦了我的右手啊！

How to beat inflation?
As inflation takes off and goes exponential worldwide, individuals and investors alike will need to develop personal strategies to cope with and to fight this insidious enemy that is inflation, which reduces the purchasing power of the money that you have every hour, every minute, and every second of every day.
It does not matter whether you are rich, middle-class, or poor, it is more of a matter of degree. The wealthy will rightly worry about the value of their assets in an inflationary environment. With a high-enough inflation rate, even the rich can get wiped out, if they do nothing to preserve their assets .
If you are not so well-to-do, it will not get much simpler than this : as inflation takes off, the fight against inflation will literally be a fight for survival. Let's take food for example. For the middle-class folks in a middle-class society such as America or Singapore, the cost of food typically takes up around 10-15% of the total monthly income. If the cost of food doubles, this ratio goes up to 20-30%. But for the poorer folks, whose food expenses take up one-third to one-half of the total income, with rental and utilities taking up the rest, and with no further room to cut back on expenses, what happens when the cost of food doubles? Life will get very hard, very quickly. You will have to make some extremely hard choices : do you want to eat, or do you want to pay the rent - and what about the utilities?
So as you can see, no matter what economic class you are in, we have the same common enemy ~inflation
Got ideas how to beat inflation?
Get the hell out of cash. Cash is certainly not a store of value,keep just enough for your daily transactios and small buffer to tide you over in case of emergency.Invest the rest of your money in stuff that will give you higher returns( at least can beat the CPI). But,do not trap by the CPI figure.This is because the CPI calculation is a complex process, and is subject to more human interpretation than you might have imagined. Besides, CPI is a political figure. What I mean by that is simply this : there is every incentive amongst the governments of the world to report a lower CPI figure, in order to try to hide the actual rate of inflation. As the real rate of inflation takes off, governments have to come clean eventually regarding their official CPI figures, or they will end up like Zimbabwe's case~ where a banana now costs more than what a house used to be
