Advertising Ingenuity

Advertising is big-time these days as corporations spend millions trying to promote their products; actually trying to entice us to part with our money. Of course it's working and how not to when advertising has become so sophisticated. The thinking that goes into these is remarkable. I mean look at the pictures below. Who would have thought of these in the old days? They are commendable.

Man of the House

The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled "You Can Be The Man of Your House".

He stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said sternly, "From now on,you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is law!
You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. After dinner you are going to go up stairs with me,and we will have the kind of s..e..x that I want.After that, you are going to draw me my bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe. Then you will massage my feet and hands.
Then after that's done, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

His wife replied, "The damn Funeral Director would be my first guess."

Real Estate Investment

If I were looking for real estate investment in the US, I would strongly consider the new Cave Creek Resort & Casitas.

Spread over 20 acres in the heart of Arizona's Sonora Desert, with spectacular mountain views and great golf just minutes away, this new development, Cave Creek Resort & Casitas is a place where relaxation comes naturally. I believe lots of memories will be made there.

I can buy a condo and rent it out as a hotel when I am not there or I could use it as a family vacation home and live my dream. Wow!

Father Knows Best

Here's a clean joke.

A young boy had just gotten his driver's license and inquired of his father, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son. "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car."

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, "Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut."

The young man paused a moment then said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair."

To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?"

A Holiday in the U.S.

A colleague and his family are planning a a trip to the States. They do not plan on joining any tour group but prefer the flexibility and freedom of being on their own.

Stress Test

Look at these three pictures one at a time.




The patterns are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.

The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.

Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly.

However, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

None of these images are animated - they are perfectly still.

How did you do with the test??

Window Film

Window tinting is becoming more popular these days. My car windows are tinted mainly to prevent glare and keep out the sun thus reducing UV exposure.



Some car and home window tinting kits are made easy to install as they are pre-cut to the precise measurements. They can be installed in just one afternoon. SnapTint.com offers these.

At SnapTint.com, they help consumers appreciate window tint not only from the aesthetic perspective, but also practical perspective.

Window film comes in many colors and varieties. It not only enhances the look of a car or home, but also provides many practical benefits such as reducing glare, providing UV protection and heat rejection thus lowering cooling bills as well as enhancing privasy.

Unfortunately, there are cheap low-quality window films in the market, so avoid being disappointed, buy from SnapTint.

The Company You Keep

This is awesome information which a good friend forwarded. Makes a lot of sense. See if you agree.

COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE - THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

* It Is Better To Be Alone Than In The Wrong Company.

* Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.

* If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

* A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate, for the good and the bad. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.

* Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.

* An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people.

* As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl.

* Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider these ideas:

* Never receive counsel from unproductive people.

* Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how.

* Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.

* You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.

* Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.

* With some people you spend an evening; with others you invest it.

* Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.

* Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.


If you see people without a smile today, give them one of yours.

Choose to rise...Don't settle...Go for your dreams!
