Goal in Life
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American. The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs .... I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard, and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat." "And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise." "How long would that take?" asked the Mexican. "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American. "And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!" "Millions? Really? And after that?" said the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings doing what you like and
enjoying your friends."
Know where you're going in life ... you may already be there…..

妳看要不要報警 Mat Rempit 搞笑篇
話說同學的姐姐和姐夫開車到鄉下去玩,車子開到一條四處毫無人煙的鄉間小路上,眼下沒有任何人家、商家……
姐姐突然覺得胃腸絞痛,想要拉肚子,不知如何是好……一路上又沒有人家可以借廁所用……
『啊!!不然妳就拉在路邊的田裡,我幫妳把風,反正……天色有點暗,應該不會有人看到的啦 !!』姐夫很聰明的說。
姐姐一想也對,要不然拉在車上更麻煩。『那……好吧 !!!』
待姐夫在路邊把車子停妥後,眼看四下無人,姐姐帶著兩張報紙下了車,趁著天色昏黑,躲在車後面,人就蹲在報紙上,痛快的方便起來 !!!
其實把便便留在人家的田裡當肥料,也不算過份,只要刨些土蓋一蓋就行。
怎奈,姐姐為了確實做到『不隨處大小便』的好國民,排解完畢,細心的硬是 要把便便包起來,還套上一個塑膠袋,想帶回家再處理。
手上提著剛出爐的便便,興高采烈的正準備開車門要上車離開……
不知道從那兒冒出了一位頭帶安全帽的機車騎士,冷不妨飛快的奪走姐姐手上的那個塑膠袋,然後揚長而去………
夫妻倆愣在原地很久……
說不出話。 過了好一會兒,姐夫終於開口『妳看要不要報
妳看要不要報警?............................』

Office printers 'are health risk'
http://www.lime.com/blog/savasthi/14845/are_laser_printers_risky_
By Nick Bryant BBC News, Sydney
The humble office laser printer can damage lungs in much the same way as smoke particles from cigarettes, a team of Australian scientists has found.
An investigation of a range of printer models showed that almost a third emit potentially dangerous levels of toner into the air.
The Queensland University of Technology scientists have called on ministers to regulate these kinds of emissions.
They say some printers should come with a health warning. The researchers carried out tests on more than 60 machines.
Almost one-third were found to emit ultra-tiny particles of toner-like material, so small that they can infiltrate the lungs and cause a range of health problems from respiratory irritation to more chronic illnesses.
Conducted in an open-plan office, the test revealed that particle levels increased five-fold during working hours, a rise blamed on printer use. The problem was worse when new cartridges were used and when graphics and images required higher quantities of toner.
The researchers have called on governments to regulate air quality in offices. They also want companies to ensure that printers are based in well-ventilated areas so that particles disperse.
