"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

Nasty Joke


Welcome back for myself to Berlin! I've got me two days off. Yippee!

And I would like to share one nasty joke with you guys.....



Overheard at the grocery store:
Young woman (to her mobile, suddenly, loudly, laughing): Girl, we fucked allllll night! I had to shit and he wouldn't stop!

Mother (with 13-year-old amused son): Young lady, there are children present!

Young woman (angrily): Fuck your child!

Happy medium or happy median


the pic has no relation to what i want to write today...hehehe

A fellow asked if the usual and correct phrase is happy medium or happy median.

Happily enough, that's an easy question to answer. One early (and very old) sense of the word medium (which comes from the Latin medius meaning "middle") is "the middle way"; "compromise." A happy medium is a compromise that satisfies.

Median, meanwhile, which also counts that Latin medius as an ancestor, indicates a midpoint in position. When median isn't being used as shorthand for "median strip," it is used chiefly to indicate the point below which there are as many instances as there are above. For example, if the costs of five different lunches are $2, $2, $4, $20 and $25, the median meal costs $4.

Got that? Now let's look at a term whose meanings run the gamut: compromise. When compromise first appeared back in the 15th century, that term named "an agreement to refer matters in dispute to arbitrators." Compromise has an ancestor in a Middle English term meaning "mutual promise (from Latin com plus promittere) to abide by an arbiter's decision."

While a compromise can sometimes name a "happy medium"—the settlement of differences by consent reached by mutual concessionsit can also mean "a concession to something derogatory or prejudicial," such as a compromise of principles.

Will YOU Look as Good as...

You might have seen these before and after celebrity comparisons around the internet. I thought it was an interesting testimony as to what happens if you don't take care of yourself, even if you are incredibly fit and good looking.

What the original story failed to mention is that it is possible to preserve most of your looks if you follow Jack LaLanne's approach to fitness, which you can see below.

Truth is! don't get from this:

Man Skills

Via The Republic of T, here's the list of 25 skills every man should know. Ones Steve & I cover together are in bold.

1. Patch a radiator hose
2. Protect your computer
3. Rescue a boater who has capsized
4. Frame a wall
5. Retouch digital photos
6. Back up a trailer
7. Build a campfire
8. Fix a dead outlet
9. Navigate with a map and compass
10. Use a torque wrench
11. Sharpen a knife
12. Perform CPR
13. Fillet a fish
14. Maneuver a car out of a skid
15. Get a car unstuck
16. Back up data
17. Paint a room
18. Mix concrete
19. Clean a bolt-action rifle
20. Change oil and filter
21. Hook up an HDTV
22. Bleed brakes
23. Paddle a canoe
24. Fix a bike flat
25. Extend your wireless network

I find these completely ridiculous. How will these make me a better man? Are they practical skills I'll need throughout life? CPR, I can see. Rescuing a capsized boat? No. Are these skills that women are somehow incapable of, & therefore the men of the world must know them?

Here are 20 things that I'd call "25 practical skills every self-sufficient adult should have."

1. Know basic nutritional needs & how to plan balanced meals
2. Hone your sense of direction & navigation so you don't need step-by-step turns to find a location
3. Understand types of health insurance & terminology such as OOP max & co-insurance percentage
4. Maintenance of a personal computer
5. In-depth knowledge of your employment benefits
6. Change a flat tire
7. Wash & iron clothes
8. Balance a checkbook & manage your finances
9. Patch holes in walls
10. Fix a clogged toilet
11. Jump start a car
12. Use public transportation to get around
13. Write an effective resume cover letter
14. Professional oral & written communication
15. Basic math
16. Stay calm in emergencies
17. Know when to ask for help
18. Personal hygiene
19. Do your own taxes
20. Use internet search engines strategically (if you know how to do good searches, you can find any information you need on the web)

A day at a conference

The other day, after Steve's birthday (we had party with a few friends) i went to BABSON College , Massachusetts for Annual Executive MBA Economic Conference. During the conference, i was invited to be one of the speaker to represent Asian Pacific Economic Blocks, and i am suppose to give a talks on key economic development , except that i was distracted with another issues and going on talking some other things (typical lecturer!). This is one part of my nonsense.

Consider this!

" national average annual percentage yield for savings accounts in June 2009 was a mere 0.72 percent. With inflation at about 3.5 percent and savings at 0.5 percent, savers were losing roughly 3 percent each year.

So i asked the audiences ! "why save?" then continue

This is exceptionally depressing.

You have to have a savings and a long term plan to live in poverty.

So, What's Banks never tell you?

Banks never told you that they makes tones of money out from your money!

" then why save?" i ask again!, everybody seems uncomfortable, they grumbles. Specially those MBA grads who is working with the Banks.

Then i quoted a statement from WashingtonPost

" You have to be rich to be poor. That's what some people who have never lived below the poverty line don't understand. The poorer you are, the more things cost. More in money, time, hassle, exhaustion, menace. This is a fact of life that reality television and magazines don't often explain" continue..


Even if the poor or working-class family was able to save money in order to invest in these higher-rate savings plans, one has to consider what happens to the money in the meantime. Consider: You're poor, but you're putting away $20 a week. It's a real hardship, but you do it. You put the money in a savings account. By year's end, you've got $1,200 to put into a Certificates of Deposit (CDs).

But wait: In the meantime, you've lost 3 percent of the value of the money you just saved! You're already in the hole! Oh well. Put the money in a CD anyway...



But then you have another problem. CDs require that your money to be tied up for certain amount of time. One, three, five, seven, 10 years -- it varies. The longer the tie-up, the higher the yield. The current yield on a one-year CD is a mere 3.48 percent. On a five-year CD it is 3.93 percent.


So is our fictional consumer better off saving using CDs? Not really. A one-year CD doesn't increase your savings at all! It merely keeps you even with inflation. A five-year CD does slightly better, but only just. And if inflation rises even a half-percentage point, the consumer is in big trouble again.



So, Moral of the story is! Never call a Professor to give an impromptu talks or speeches. We will generally end up with different facts, figures and ideas which may not be suitable to public.

I rest assured that the Executive Committee of the Conference will never ever call me on stage for few decades! hehehe.

In the good hands, i was offered for the post of Associate Dean for Graduate School of Business in Babson. I will think about it!. (Ada aku kesah)
