Quote of the Day

Meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words!!!

Story: The Officer's inspection :)

A municipality officer stopped at corps fields in Texas , and talked
with an old farmer. He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your ranch
for illegally grown drugs." The farmer said, "Okay , but don't go in
that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location.

The municipality officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have
the authority of the Federal Government with me !" Reaching into his
rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to
the farmer. "See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go
wherever I wish. on any land !! No questions asked or answers given!!
Have I made myself clear......do you understand ?!!"

The farmer nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old farmer heard loud screams, looked up, and
saw the municipality officer running for his life, being chased by the
farmer's BIG BULL. With every step the bull was gaining ground on the
officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before
he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The farmer threw
down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his
lungs.....
"Your badge, show him your BADGE !!! J J J


Moral:

1- Dont show arrogance while using your authority. Use it with logic
and common sense.

2- Let the other person speak if he wants to say something. It
clarifies doubts & confusions.

How to think, not what to think!!!

Moishe the Carpenter, returning home with his week’s wages, was accosted by an armed robber on a deserted street.

“Take my money,” said Moishe, “but do me a favour: “Shoot a bullet through my hat otherwise my wife won’t believe I was robbed.”

The robber obliged.
 
He threw Moishe’s hat into the air and put a bullet through it.

“Let’s make it look as if I ran into a gang of robbers,” said Moishe, “otherwise my wife will call me a coward! Please shoot a number of holes through my coat.”

So the robber shot a number of holes through the carpenter’s coat. “And now…” continued Moishe.

“Sorry,” interrupted the robber.
 
“No more holes. I’m out of bullets.”

“That’s all I wanted to know!” said Moishe.

“Now hand me back my money and some more for the hat and coat that you’ve ruined or I’ll beat you black and blue!”

The robber threw down the money and ran.

It's never too late to use our brains to get out of a difficult situation!!
