Contrary Proverbs

  Every Action has an equal and an opposite reaction. Similarly, every proverb has an equal and an opposite proverb!  There always exist two sides of the same coin!      Contrary Proverbs All good things come to those who wait. BUT Time and tide wait for no man.   The pen is mightier than the sword. BUT Actions speak louder than words.   Wise men think alike. BUT Fools seldom differ.   The best things in life are free  . BUT There's no such thing as a free lunch  .   Slow and steady wins the race  . BUT Time waits for no man .   Look before you leap . BUT Strike while the iron is hot

THE POWER OF CONFIDENCE......

A business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you." He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world! "I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. Nonetheless, the executive decided to put the check in his safe first. Just knowing it was the

Use the Spoon..

Last week, we took some friends to a new chain restaurant, name to remain anonymous, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?' .   'Well, 'he explained, 'the restaurant's owner hired  Z nder r en Consulting to revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.' As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare.. 'I'

The Talking Clock

After closing time at the bar, a drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends.  He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.     "What's up with the big brass gong?" one of his guests asked.   "It's not a gong.  It's a talking clock," the drunk replied.   "A talking clock?  Seriously?" asked his astonished friend.   "Yup," replied the drunk.    "How's it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it.   "Watch," the drunk replied.  He picked up the mallet, gave the gong an ear-shattering pound and stepped back.   The three stood looking at one another for a moment.   Suddenly a voice on the other side of the wall screamed ...   "You asshole!  It's three-fifteen in the morning!"
