Change In WillThe patient shook his doctor’s hand in gratitude and said, “since we are
the best of friends, i would not want to insult you by offering payment. But i would like for you to know that i had mentioned you in my will.”
“That is very kind of you,” said the doctor emotionally, and then added, “May i see that prescription i just gave you? i’d like to make a little change…”
New Bossa business owner decides to take a tour around his business and see how
things are going. he goes down to the shipping docks and sees a young man leaning against the wall doing nothing. The owner walks up to the young man and says, “son, how much do you make a day?”
The guy replies, “150 dollars.”The owner pulls out his wallet, gives him $150, and tells him to get out
and never come back.a few minutes later, the shipping clerk asks the owner, “have you seen
the ups driver?? i asked him to wait here for me!”

All that stands between the graduate and the top of the ladder is the ladder. ~ Author UnknownAt commencement you wear your square-shaped mortarboards. My hope is that from time to time you will let your minds be bold, and wear sombre-ros. ~ Paul FreundAn investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. ~ Author un-known, commonly attributed to Benjamin FranklinThe roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. ~ Aristotle
Father: “i hear you skipped school to play football.” son: “no i didn’t, and i have the fish to prove it !”
"Everything I’ve ever learned, I learned from Star Wars "• never trust men in dark helmets.• it really isn’t necessary to be fluent in over 6 million forms of communication.• When all else fails....jump! • if you are a young hero, nothing can kill you. • always check the background of people you want to get intimately
involved with, they may be your relatives. • you may have family members in surprisingly high
positions. • Before you kill someone make sure they aren’t
your father. • know the difference between power socket and a
computer terminal. • no matter how tasty that hunk of meat looks on that
pole on that forest moon, don’t grab it; it’s probably a trap. (or: when you see a piece of dead meat impaled on a stake in the woods, leave iT!!!!!!!!!)

Your True Colors
Roles And How We Play ThemWhenever i’m disappointed with my spot in my life, i stop and think
about little Jamie scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. his mother told me that he’d set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
on the day the parts were awarded, i went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. “guess what Mom,” he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me: “i’ve been chosen to clap and cheer.”
• Bob dylan’s first professional performance was as opening act for John lee hooker at gerde’s Folk City in new york, 1961.
• Before they were known as Journey, steve perry called his band golden gate Rhythm section.
• kenneth edmonds was nicknamed Babyface by funk guitarist Bootsy Collins.
• The world’s largest disco was held at the Buffalo Convention Cen-tre, new york, 1979. 13,000 danced a place into the guinness Book of World Records.
• in august 1983, peter stewart of Birmingham, uk set a world record by disco dancing for 408 hours.
very few people possess true artistic ability. it is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. if you have a burn-ing, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat some-thing sweet and the feeling will pass.
~ Fran lebowitz
Saved By The Bellengland is old and small and the local folks started running out of places
to bury people. so they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a “bone-house” and reuse the grave.
When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. so they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the “graveyard shift”) to lis-ten for the bell; thus, someone could be “saved by the bell” or was considered a “dead ringer.”

Question & Answer
A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. ~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)
The phone rings at FBi headquarters.“hello? i’m calling to report my neighbor, Clifford. he is hiding mari-
juana inside his firewood!”“Thank you very much for the call, sir.”The next day, FBi agents descend on the neighbor’s house. They search the
shed where the firewood is kept. using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swear at the neighbors and leave.
The phone rings at the neighbors house. “hey, Clifford, did the FBi come?”
“yep.”“did they chop your firewood?”“yep.”“great, now it’s your turn to call. i need my garden plowed.”

Interesting Facts
The TelemarketerWe telemarketers know we’re universally loathed. still, some people are
quite pleasant on the phone. one day i called a number and asked to speak with Mr. Morgan. The woman who answered explained that he no longer lived at that address, but she did have a number where he could be reached.
i thanked her, rang that number, and was greeted with, “good morning, highland view Cemetery.”

Brain Teaser
Marveling At The Moonlaika, a stray dog trained and chosen by the Russians for the expedi-
tion, became the first living being to go into space. he also became the first death. he died from overheating a few hours after the launch.
ham the Chimp was the first living american being that traveled into space. he was also called astrochimp. on January 31, 1961, ham was se-cured in a project Mercury capsule. he had been trained to perform tasks while in the capsule, and he did everything he was asked to do. his flight lasted 16 minutes and 39 seconds. The capsule then splashed down in the atlantic ocean.
The Puzzle: in front of you are several long fuses. you know they burn for exactly one
hour after you light them at one end. The entire fuse does not necessarily burn at a constant speed. For example, it might take five minutes to burn through half the fuse and fifty-five minutes to burn the other half.
With your lighter and using these fuses, how can you measure exactly three-quarters of an hour of time? The Solution . . .
Fold one fuse and put another fuse next to it, light all three ends. When the fuse with both ends lit goes out, immediately light the other end of the lit fuse and light a new fuse. When the second fuse goes out you will have three-quarters of an hour left burning on the third fuse.
in new york, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifi-cally prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking “at a woman in that way.” a second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a “pair of horse-blinders” wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

Redefining "Victim"as a salesperson, trainer, speaker, and author since 1986, i know how easy it is to complicate a message. i've done it. i also know, as i'm sure you do, that when it comes to "free speech" and a democratic system, it can get messy. opinions, theories, ideas, and "political positions" can become confused, twisted and self-serving. We have media that will do just about anything to pull in one more viewer, set of eyeballs, or long-term subscriber. But, let's give the media the benefit of the doubt by admitting truth: it's our human nature that makes us want to turn to watch the "car crash of human life" that's within our sight. in other words, we are both fascinated by and feel compassion for ... The victim. But now it's time to unwind and uncomplicate this whole "i'm a victim!" mantra that has crept insidiously, dangerously, and destructively into our society. here we go: * if i am mugged on the street, i am a victim. if my employer reduces my benefits, i am not a victim. * if a tornado knocks my house down, i am a victim. if someone makes more money than i do, i am not a victim * if the nearby river rises and my home now sits under water, i am a victim. if my bank charges aTM fees, i am not a victim. * if a thief steals my 60" flat screen, i am a victim. if i cannot afford a 60" flat screen but my neighbor can, i am not a victim. * if "the plague" strikes my family, i am a victim. if my employer won't pay for my continuing education, i am not a victim. * if a [3]Black Mamba escapes from the zoo and enters my home, biting me on the ankle and i am sick for months—i am a victim!!! But, if i am a new college grad with large school loans—i am not a victim. To be blunt, there isn't much in life that justifies me throwing a pity party for one. What is justified is working hard to eradicate this "everybody's a victim" mentality that abounds, because when i play victim i serve no one. not even myself. The cure for victim thinking is simple: [4]personal ac-countability. Just ask QBQs such as, "What can i do to contribute?" "how can i be my best today?" and "What can i do to own my decisions?" These powerful questions will move me forward. and when i move forward, i stay out of the unproductive and wasteful trap of victim thinking. ps: after i eliminate my own victim-itis, it's time to help youth do the same. here's the tool, now ready for purchase!:

But now it's time to unwind and uncomplicate this whole "i'm a victim!" mantra that has crept insidiously, dangerously, and destructively into our society. here we go: * if i am mugged on the street, i am a victim. if my employer reduces my benefits, i am not a victim. * if a tornado knocks my house down, i am a victim. if someone makes more money than i do, i am not a victim * if the nearby river rises and my home now sits under water, i am a victim. if my bank charges aTM fees, i am not a victim. * if a thief steals my 60" flat screen, i am a victim. if i cannot afford a 60" flat screen but my neighbor can, i am not a victim. * if "the plague" strikes my family, i am a victim. if my employer won't pay for my continuing education, i am not a victim. * if a [3]Black Mamba escapes from the zoo and enters my home, biting me on the ankle and i am sick for months—i am a victim!!! But, if i am a new college grad with large school loans—i am not a victim. To be blunt, there isn't much in life that justifies me throwing a pity party for one. What is justified is working hard to eradicate this "everybody's a victim" mentality that abounds, because when i play victim i serve no one. not even myself. The cure for victim thinking is simple: [4]personal ac-countability. Just ask QBQs such as, "What can i do to contribute?" "how can i be my best today?" and "What can i do to own my decisions?" These powerful questions will move me forward. and when i move forward, i stay out of the unproductive and wasteful trap of victim thinking. ps: after i eliminate my own victim-itis, it's time to help youth do the same. here's the tool, now ready for purchase!:

Marveling At The Moonlaika, a stray dog trained and chosen by the Russians for the expedi-
tion, became the first living being to go into space. he also became the first death. he died from overheating a few hours after the launch.
ham the Chimp was the first living american being that traveled into space. he was also called astrochimp. on January 31, 1961, ham was se-cured in a project Mercury capsule. he had been trained to perform tasks while in the capsule, and he did everything he was asked to do. his flight lasted 16 minutes and 39 seconds. The capsule then splashed down in the atlantic ocean.
The Puzzle: in front of you are several long fuses. you know they burn for exactly one
hour after you light them at one end. The entire fuse does not necessarily burn at a constant speed. For example, it might take five minutes to burn through half the fuse and fifty-five minutes to burn the other half.
With your lighter and using these fuses, how can you measure exactly three-quarters of an hour of time? The Solution . . .
Fold one fuse and put another fuse next to it, light all three ends. When the fuse with both ends lit goes out, immediately light the other end of the lit fuse and light a new fuse. When the second fuse goes out you will have three-quarters of an hour left burning on the third fuse.
in new york, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifi-cally prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking “at a woman in that way.” a second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a “pair of horse-blinders” wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

Roles And How We Play ThemWhenever i’m disappointed with my spot in my life, i stop and think
about little Jamie scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. his mother told me that he’d set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
on the day the parts were awarded, i went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. “guess what Mom,” he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me: “i’ve been chosen to clap and cheer.”
• Bob dylan’s first professional performance was as opening act for John lee hooker at gerde’s Folk City in new york, 1961.
• Before they were known as Journey, steve perry called his band golden gate Rhythm section.
• kenneth edmonds was nicknamed Babyface by funk guitarist Bootsy Collins.
• The world’s largest disco was held at the Buffalo Convention Cen-tre, new york, 1979. 13,000 danced a place into the guinness Book of World Records.
• in august 1983, peter stewart of Birmingham, uk set a world record by disco dancing for 408 hours.
very few people possess true artistic ability. it is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. if you have a burn-ing, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat some-thing sweet and the feeling will pass.
~ Fran lebowitz
Saved By The Bellengland is old and small and the local folks started running out of places
to bury people. so they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a “bone-house” and reuse the grave.
When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. so they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the “graveyard shift”) to lis-ten for the bell; thus, someone could be “saved by the bell” or was considered a “dead ringer.”

Question & Answer
A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. ~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)
The phone rings at FBi headquarters.“hello? i’m calling to report my neighbor, Clifford. he is hiding mari-
juana inside his firewood!”“Thank you very much for the call, sir.”The next day, FBi agents descend on the neighbor’s house. They search the
shed where the firewood is kept. using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swear at the neighbors and leave.
The phone rings at the neighbors house. “hey, Clifford, did the FBi come?”
“yep.”“did they chop your firewood?”“yep.”“great, now it’s your turn to call. i need my garden plowed.”

Change In WillThe patient shook his doctor’s hand in gratitude and said, “since we are
the best of friends, i would not want to insult you by offering payment. But i would like for you to know that i had mentioned you in my will.”
“That is very kind of you,” said the doctor emotionally, and then added, “May i see that prescription i just gave you? i’d like to make a little change…”

"Everything I’ve ever learned, I learned from Star Wars "• never trust men in dark helmets.• it really isn’t necessary to be fluent in over 6 million forms of communication.• When all else fails....jump! • if you are a young hero, nothing can kill you. • always check the background of people you want to get intimately
involved with, they may be your relatives. • you may have family members in surprisingly high
positions. • Before you kill someone make sure they aren’t
your father. • know the difference between power socket and a
computer terminal. • no matter how tasty that hunk of meat looks on that
pole on that forest moon, don’t grab it; it’s probably a trap. (or: when you see a piece of dead meat impaled on a stake in the woods, leave iT!!!!!!!!!)
