Speaking about perfection..... Japanese attitude!!!!

Apparently an American computer giant decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project.

In the specifications, they set out that they will accept only three defective parts per 10,000.

When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter.
'We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices.
But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment in a separate packaging clearly mentioned ' defective pieces as required, not for use'.

Hope this pleases you.'

Most important part of the body? A beautiful message

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct Answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon." Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child." Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. E...

I'm broke!!!

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner . "Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple minutes of your time , I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners..." "Go away!" said the old lady. "I'm broke and haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open... "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration." And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet. "Now if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder." The old lady stepped back and said, "Well, let me get you a fork, 'cause they cut off my electricity this morning....

4 great tips to start your working day

Every morning can be a challenge – whether you’re sitting in the rush-hour traffic or running to catch the train – in a torrential downpour. With all the problems and hassles we have to face before it’s even time for a coffee break, mornings can be the hardest part of our entire day. What’s more, the first few hours after you wake up really do set the tone for the rest of the day. So it’s important to begin with a calming ritual (or two, or three!) to help you better manage stress and give you that zen-like poise you’ll need to make it through the next eight to ten hours. Here are a few suggestions you may want to consider incorporating into your morning routine. Start with a soothing serenade As you’re making coffee and ironing your shirt, switch on the stereo or power up the computer speakers. But unless you find traffic reports, weather forecasts and shouting disc jockeys relaxing, avoid the morning radio shows. Instead, opt for calming classical music – it’s be...
