America's problems explained

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad News, the donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said You can't raffle off a dead donkey!'Chuck said, 'Sure I can Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.' Chuck now works for one of the two remaining US Investment Banks.

Now this is good

hmmm.. serious

From Sunday... What determines success? Its a good point really cause I think we (I) get sidetracked VERY easily by being successful at *whatever* when really only one thing maters.

A couple of good quotes:
"God please change me! But please not the hard way, I dont want any pain!"

"Money is like salt water, the more you drink, the more thirsty you become"

We of course tie money in with success by nature - but a really interesting point is Paul's 'riches to rags' story, which is where his success is. (Phil 3)

People that are successful focus on ONE thing (ie Hackett and Swimming). Starts with talent/gift and then requires goals, hard work and discipline. Hackett: "Its a simple sacrifice if you want to be number one"


See, its so simple! Ha!

all things paint

Painting would have to be one of the most crap things you could do for a job. I certainly tip my hat to pro painters cause they make it look so easy which it is far from!

I've almost finished another house (inside and out) with the last few 'dregs' to go... which seem to take as long to do as the majority of the rest of it!

Now that I've had a little whinge about painting, I will be totally contradictory and say... Its not actually that bad. As long as you either take your brain out before you stat (otherwise it'll dribble out through your nose cause its so boring) OR listen to music/book while you're painting - it make its bearable.

If it wasn't for painting, I would not have read (listened?) all of Dan Browns books, Men are from mars - women are from venus, Wild at heart, and a number of sermons. No how many jobs can you do WELL, while listening intently to a story/teaching etc??? Also, how many jobs combine both these things, while getting paid stupidly large amounts of money!!! (yes, thats right - if you didn't know, painters charge a fortune! A friend was quoted $6500 to paint the outside of thier house - that'd be a weeks solid work)

pity its such a crap job...
