Do not Take it Serious

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains, scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so, too, do humans take longer to access information when their brains are full.

Researchers say this slowing down process is not the same as cognitive decline. The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more.

Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature’s way of making older people do more exercise.

SO THERE.
Now when I reach for a word or a name, I won’t excuse myself by saying “I’m having a senior moment”.
Now, I will say, “My disk is full!”
Set goals conscientiously for your future
Then never settle for anything less.
Realize that there are others in the world with much bigger problems than you.

Conference

Conference is the confusion of one person multiplied by the number persons present.
Conference Room is a room where executives get together to talk for hours, take a cup of tea and disperse without a decision.

I was in Dusseldorf (Germany) during 1966-1967 working with a large size Industrial Organization.
There, on the outside of door of Conference Hall, I saw pasted a paper on which was written “This is the place where big people get together, gossip, take a cup of tea and disperse without a decision.

What is Audit?

Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road.
Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the shepherd,
“If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?”
The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the large flock of grazing sheep and replies, “Okay.”
The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax, enters a NASA Website, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot tables.
He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer, turns to the shepherd and says,
“You have exactly 1,586 sheep.”
The shepherd cheers,
“That’s correct, you can have your choicest sheep from the herd”.
The young man takes one of the animals which he likes most and cute from the flock and puts it in the back of his Porsche. The shepherd looks at him and asks, “If I guess your profession, will you return my animal to me?”
The young man laughed and answers, “Yes, why not?”
The shepherd says, “You are an auditor.”
“How did you know?” asks the young man.
“Very simple,” answers the shepherd.
“First, you came here without being wanted.
Secondly, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew.
Thirdly, you don’t understand anything about my business…..
Now can I have my DOG back?”

An Engineer’s Revenge

An engineer was removing the engine parts from a car when he saw a famous heart surgeon in his shop.
Engineer went to the heart surgeon and said, “Look at this engine, I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired and put them back”.
So why do I get such a small salary and you get huge sums ?”
The doctor smiled at the engineer and came close to engineer’s ear and said, “Try the same when the engine is running.”

The engineer smiled back, came close to doctors ear and said, “I can pick any dead engine and make it alive, can you ??? And Doctor do not forget that all your instruments and machines have been designed and got manufactured by enginers.”
