THE POWER OF ATTITUDE

I’ve long admired those framed motivational posters I see in many offices. Here’s the one about attitude.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens.

Our lives are determined not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results.

2-WHEELED IMPROVISATIONS
Vietnamese ingenuity

These photos were recently emailed to me. As you can see, necessity is the mother of improvisation.


























The next photo shows a water buffalo being transported. A small adult will weigh nearly 900 pounds (400 kilos).





The next photo shows several roasted dogs being brought to the market. That’s correct. These are dogs. They will be eaten.





The next photo shows two hogs being transported. They will also be eaten.

THE CASE OF THE DEFECTIVE POSTAGE STAMP
A new version of a familiar theme

The current President of the Philippines is arguably a crook. My sister sent me the following joke and I just had to share it. The joke is a version of a familiar theme.

PhilPost, the Philippine postal service, recently issued a stamp with a picture of President Arroyo. Her full name is Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The stamp was captioned “Gloria Forever.”

There was a problem however. The stamp would not stick to envelopes. This reportedly enraged the President who demanded a full investigation.

After a month of testing and spending 100 million pesos, the special Presidential commission presented their findings:

• The stamp was in perfect condition.
• There was nothing wrong with the adhesive.
• People were just spitting on the wrong side.
