The oldest profession

A physician, a civil engineer, and a consultant were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world.

The physician remarked, "Well, in the Bible, it says that God created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam. This clearly required surgery, and so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world."

The civil engineer interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong: mine is the oldest profession in the world."

The consultant leaned back in her chair, smiled, and then said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"

Stupidity

Is there any relation between IQ and stupidity?

I don't think they have any relation. I got very high IQ but I'm stupid (at least my girl friend said that).

The only fact I sure about stupidity is that humans are stupid.

Only two things are infinite—the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not so sure about the universe. — Albert Einstein

Who's the boss?

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The brain said, " I should be Boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions.”

"The feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."

The hands said, " We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."

And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up.

All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered.

Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit.

Engineer: Career or hobby?

Why I'm here? Where am I? What is my future?

I only know the first question.
I not sure about the second.
And I don't know the last.

As I always said, love your job as an engineer but don't fall in love with your company.
But what happen if you like your job but the company don't like you.

What will you do if you fall in love with a girl, but her parent don't like you?
Should you leave or should you stay?

I'm asking myself this question last year and today I ask myself again.
Should I stay or should I leave?

I wish I know the answer. Maybe only time can tell me the answer.

Engineer: Career or hobby?

I do not know how many of you are ambition to become engineer. I hope I'm not the lonely one.

When we were young, our teacher always ask us about our ambition. Doctor, nurse, teacher, lawyer, scientist, policeman, president, etc. But seldom people will say engineer. Why? Maybe because of the defination of engineer.

Oxford define engineer as

a person who maintains or controls an engine or machine or a skilful contriver

But what is contriver?

Contrive is a verb that mean manage to do something foolish, thus contriver is a person that manage to do something foolish.

O_o

Ok, engineer is either an engine or machine controller or a person that can do "foolish" tasks.

Oxford define career as

An occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life, usually with opportunities for progress.

and it define hobby as

An activity done regularly for pleasure.

Back to the title, who willing to deal with "foolish" tasks all day long as a career?

Secondly, an occupation frequently related to paid, however engineer never related to high paid as manager, lawyer, doctor, etc.

Thirdly, what can engineer progress to? Engineer manager? So it's a manager or still an engineer?

By all these evidents and facts, I think engineer is a hobby more than a career.

Anyway, as I always said, happy to become an engineer. Love you job but please don't fall in love with your company :)

Teamwork!

An engineering manager was once asked his definition of "Teamwork."

He said "Teamwork is where everyone in the department is doing what I tell them without whining."

A manager's story

The manager of a large corporation got a heart attack, and the doctor told him to go for several weeks to a farm to relax. The guy went to a farm, and after a couple of days he was very bored, so he asked the farmer to give him some job to do.

The farmer told him to clean the shit of the cows. The farmer thought that to somebody coming from the city, working the whole life sitting in an office, it will take over a week to finish the job, but for his surprise the manager finished the job in less than one day.

The next day the farmer gave to the manager a more difficult job: to cut the heads of 500 chickens. The farmer was sure that the manager will not be able to do the job, but at the end of the day the job was done.

The next morning, as most of the jobs in the farm were done, the farmer asked the manager to divide a bag of potatoes in two boxes: one box with small potatoes, and one box with big potatoes.

At the end of the day the farmer saw that the manager was sitting in front of the potatoes bag, but the two boxes were empty. The farmer asked the manager: "How is that you made such difficult jobs during the first days, and now you cannot do this simple job?"

The manager answered: "Listen, all my life I'm cutting heads and dealing with shit, but now you ask me to make decisions."

Why Blogging?

According to Wikipedia:

blog is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Modern blog are evolved from online diary and it often provides commentary or news and information on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news.

Ok, back to today topic, why blogging?

It's complicated. But I simplify it into two categories.

First category is to share the happiness, ideas, talents and secrets.
For example, you have a very nice joke, what will you do. Tell yourself? Or tell the whole world about this funny joke? Or you have a very good idea but none of your friend understand you genius idea.

Blogging is one of the best ways to share these information. The more people share with you, the happier you are.

The second group of people do blogging is to share their sadness, pressures, sorrows. Complain about the government, how stupid your boss is, or how stupid you are. Telling to friend may have some risk because they will blog it. They will get happier but not you.

Thus, the best way is to just put a nick name and express all you dissatisfactions to the world. The more people share your burden, the more lightly you are.

No matter which type of blog you are having, just blog it and you may cheer lot of people out there.

If this is your boss?

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.

He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The Chinese replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for only $15.41 and Expect it to be there when I return?

What can I say? orz boss!

Corporate Lesson

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:

1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Corrporate lesson: The crow and the rabbit

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and 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. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story is:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
