Just got this in my office mail account and believe it is worth sharing. Wasted two minutes of productivity on it but it is cool. Well, share your results but please note that this will only work in on Malaysian mobile phone numbers:

Guys,

take your handphone and try the following steps:

- key in the 1st 3 digits of your phone number (not the 01X) onto the calculator.
- multiply that by 80
- add 1
- multiply that 250
- Add the last 4 digit of your mobile phone number.
- Again, Add the last 4 digit of your mobile phone number.
- minus by 250
- divide by 2

Look at the results. It should show your phone number…interesting!!

One of the coolest thing ever but I believe it should work with any random 7 digits I guess but haven’t tried.

A good philosophy, worth trying

The Law of the Garbage Trucks

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do
you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee
ruin your day?

Unless you’re the Terminator, for an instant you’re probably set
back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how
quickly she can get back her focus on what’s important.

I learned it in the back of a Harare City taxi cab. Here’s what
happened. I hopped in a taxi and we took off for Westgate .
We were driving when all of a sudden a black car jumped out of a parking
space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks,
skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!

Here’s what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who
almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started
yelling bad words at us. How do I know? Ask any Zimbabwean, some words
in Harare come with a special face.

Now, here’s what blew me away. My taxi driver just smiled and waved
at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just
do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”

And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law
of the Garbage Truck.”

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of
garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let
them, they’ll dump it on you.
When someone
wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave,
wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did. I guarantee it.

So this was it: The “Law of the Garbage Truck.” I started thinking,
how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I
take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on
the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do it anymore.”

I began to see garbage trucks. Like in the movie “The Sixth Sense,”
the little boy said, “I see Dead People.” Well now “I see Garbage
Trucks.”
I see the load
they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi
Driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them
well, and I move on.

One of my favourite Football players of all times, Ronaldino, does
this every day on the football field. With a smile he always jumps up as
quickly as he hits the ground after being tackled. He never dwells on a
hit. Ronaldino is always ready to make the next play his best. Good
leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents
know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs
and kisses.

Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at
their best for the people they care about.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks
take over their day.

What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if
you let more garbage trucks pass you by? You’ll be happier. I guarantee
it.

Wonderful people are created by God. Wonderful moments are carefully
planned by God. And wonderful friends like you are carefully chosen by God.

A quick post here, an e-mail that I just received that is worth sharing,

Corporate Lesson 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in
front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?”
“It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Corporate Lesson 2

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologised, “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Corporate Lesson 3

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish.”
“Me first! Me first!” says the admin. clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone.
“Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone.
“OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Corporate Lesson 4

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”
The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Corporate Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.”
“Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Corporate Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there miserably in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. the dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy.
Not everyone who gets you out of crap is your friend and when you’re in deep crap, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.

A Mail I Received That Is Worth Sharing.

Subject: 11 Rules from Bill Gates

To anyone with kids of any age, here’s some advice. Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically-correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Love him or hate him, he sure hit the nail on the head with this.

Rule 1:

Life is not fair – get used to it.

Rule 2:

The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you
feel good about yourself.

Rule 3:

You will not make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4:

If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5:

Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping – they called it opportunity.

Rule 6:

If you mess up, it’s not your parent’s fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7:

Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they now are. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites your parent’s generation created, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8:

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This does not bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9:

Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10:

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11:

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

If you agree, pass it on.
If you can read this – thank a teacher.
IF you’re not in jail or on the street – thank your parents.

HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed
room with an open window.

Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze
the situation.

If they are counting the bricks.
*Put them in the accounts department.*

If they are recounting them..
*Put them in auditing.*

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks.
*Put them in engineering.*

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order.
*Put them in planning.*

If they are throwing the bricks at each other.
*Put them in operations.*

If they are sleeping.

not a brick has been moved.
*Put them in sales.*

If they have already left for the day.

I received this e-mail, tested it out and it really works. Attached is the exact e-mail..

——————————————————————

An Indian(J.R.Guhan) discovered that nobody can

create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as

“CON”.

This is something pretty cool…and unbelievable… At Microsoft the

whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!

So, inform about this to all your friends. TRY IT NOW , IT WILL NOT

CREATE ” CON ” FOLDER

Try To rename the New Folder as CON Or con It will not Accept …

——————————————————————

I won’t be surprise if Bill Gates can’t answer it as I don’t think he is that techie and is as involve in the development anymore. Looks like a flaw has been discovered.

There was once a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.

“Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today,” so she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw she had only two hairs on her head.

“Hmm,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today,” and she did and she had a grand day.

The next morning she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw she had only one hair left on her head.

“Well,” she said, “Today I’m going to wear my hair in a ponytail.” So she did and it was a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head. “YEAH!” she exclaimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”

Remember you may not be able to control what someone says or does or some of the situations that life throws you, but you can sure control the way you react.

Just received another cool e-mail that is worth sharing……

Effective From Today Onwards

Dress Code

1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.

2. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor’s certificate as proof of sickness.

If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holiday Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Compassionate Leave

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements.

In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use

1. Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.

2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.

3. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the “Chronic Offenders” category.

4. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company’s mental health policy.

Lunch Break

1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.

2. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that’s all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience.

Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Finally something worth sharing from my inbox. Read it and have a laugh or two.
