Doing nothing ...

Doing nothing is a slightly tricky thing to do ... You never know when you are finished.

Teachers .. what they make ...

A dedication to all the Teachers !!   The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education.    He argued, 'What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?'  He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers: 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.' To stress his point he said to another guest; 'You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?'

Sometimes you can go through the event without showing it on your face .. sometimes .. it is simply visible through the salty water in one's eyes ...   Life is Cruel !  

A true short story

"What if the best candidates are in there?" "You have a point," he said. "But then again, I don't need people with bad luck here."
