CHANGE STRATEGY
One day, a blind man was sitting on the steps of a sidewalk with a hat at his feet and a piece of cardboard that read: "I am blind, please help me"

An advertiser who was passing by stopped and noticed that there were only a few cents into the hat. He leaned over and poured the money, then, without asking permission of the blind man, took the board, turned it over and wrote another sentence.

In the afternoon, the ad passed again by the blind and noticed that his hat was full of coins and banknotes.
The blind man recognized the step and asked him if it was he who had written on his piece of cardboard and above what you had written down.

The ad said: "Nothing that is not true, I just rewrote your phrase in another way." He smiled and walked away.
The blind person never knew that on his piece of cardboard was written:

"Today is Spring and I can not see it”.

MORAL:
Change your strategy when things do not go very well and you'll see that later will be better.
If one day you will be warned that your job was not done professionally, respond to Noah's Ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic by professionals ....


THE COST OF THE RIGHT FORNITURE
Often we assess the value of an asset simply by the time it takes to achieve it ... A good example 'and the case of the engineer who' was called to fix a computer very large and extremely complex ... a very expensive computer

The technician arrives to repair your computer called a fault. Sitting in front of the screen, press a few keys, says his head, mutters something to himself on and off the computer. Then check out a small screwdriver from his pocket and 'one and a half to a tiny screw. At this point, turn on your computer and verify that it works perfectly.

Company president and 'very happy and offered to pay the bill immediately.

"How much is it?" He asks.

"There are thousand euros, thanks," replied the engineer.

"A thousand euros? Thousand euros for a few minutes of work? Thousand Euros for a simple crew shake? I realize that the computer is worth 50,000 € but a thousand Euros a figure seems very exaggerated. I will pay only if you send me an itemized bill to justify that amount Counters the President.

The Engineer agrees with a nod and walks away.

The morning after the President receives the bill, the law carefully, says the head and pay immediately, without a complaint.

The bill said:

Services performed:
- Tightening of a crew: 1 EURO
- Knowing which crew: 999 EURO


 
WHY PEOPLE CRY
One day, a thinker of India made the following question to his disciples: "Why do people cry when they are angry?" "They cry because they lose the calm," said one of them. "But if the person is crying cause of his hand?" again said the thinker. "Well, we cry because we want that the other person will listen to us," said another student. And the teacher went back to ask: "So you can not talk in a low voice?" Several other answers were given but none convinced the thinker. Then he exclaimed: "You know why you cry at another person when you are angry? The fact is that when two people are angry their hearts are far away. To cover this distance you have to shout to hear yourself. The more they are angry the stronger the need to shout to hear each other. on the other hand, what happens when two people are in love? they do not shout, speak softly. And why, because their hearts are very close. the distance between them is small. sometimes they are so near their hearts that not even speak, only whisper. And when love is more intense it is not necessary even to whisper, just look. their hearts are. And 'this is what happens when two people love is near. "Finally, the thinker concluded by saying: "When you discuss do not let your hearts be turned away, do not say words that they can space out more, because there will come a day when the distance will never meet again so that the way to go."
Mahatma Gandhi
