“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy.

From the very core of our being, we desire contentment.

In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.

It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter.

It is the principal source of success in life.

Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone.

The key is to develop inner peace.”

Dalai Lama

Put 100 bricks in some Particular order in a closed Room with an Open window.

Then send 2 or 3 candidates in
The room and close the door.

Leave them alone and come back
After 6 hours and then analyze The situation.

If they are counting the Bricks.
Put them in the Accounting Department.

If they are recounting them..
Put them in Auditing ..

If they have messed up the Whole place with the bricks.
Put them in Engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order.
Put them in Planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other.
Put them in Operations .

If they are sleeping.
Put them in Security.

If they have broken the bricks Into pieces.
Put them in Information Technology.

If they are sitting idle.
Put them in Human Resources.

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has Been moved. Put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day.
Put them in Marketing. 

If they are staring out of the Window.
Put them on Strategic Planning..

And then last but not least.
If they are talking to each Other and not a single brick has been  moved.

Congratulate them and put them in Top management

Girls want to control the man in their life..
Grown women know that if he’s truly hers, he doesn’t need controlling.

Girls yell at you for not calling them.
Grown women are too busy to realize you hadn’t.

Girls are afraid to be alone.
Grown women revel in it using it as a time for personal growth.

Girls ignore the good guys.
Grown women ignore the bad guys.

Girls try and make you come home.
Grown women make you want to come home.

Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and make plans.
Grown women make their own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in where he fits.

Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for their man.
Grown women know that they are pretty and/or good enough for any man.

Girls try to monopolize all their man’s time (i.e., don’t want him hanging with his friends).
Grown women realize that a lil’ bit of space makes the together time even more special and goes out with her own friends.

Girls think a guy crying is weak.
Grown women offer their shoulder and a tissue and respect they did.

Girls want to be spoiled and ‘tell’ their man so.
Grown women ’show’ him and make him comfortable enough to reciprocate without fear of losing his manhood.

Girls get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it.
Grown women know that was just one man.

Girls fall in love and chase aimlessly after the object of their affection, ignoring all signs.
Grown women know that sometimes the one’s you love, don’t always love you back-and move on, without bitterness.

Girls will read this book, and get an attitude.
Grown women will read this book, and pass it on to other Grown women and their male friends.

1. man - show manual for a command, example: man ls hit q to exit the man page.
2. cd - change directory, example: cd /etc/
3. ls - list directory, similar to dir on windows. example: ls /etc, use ls -l /etc to see more detail
4. cp - copy a file or directory, example: cp source dest if you want to copy a directory use the -R option for recursive: cp -R /source /dest
5. mv - move a file, example: mv source dest
6. rm - remove a file, example: rm somefile to remove a directory you may need the -R option, you can also use the -f option which tells it not to confirm each file: rm -Rf /dir
7. cat - concatenate, or output a file cat /var/log/messages
8. more - outputs one page of a file and pauses. example: more /var/log/messages press q to exit before getting to the bottom. You can also pipe to more | more from other commands, for example ls -l /etc | more
9. scp - secure copy, copies a file over SSH to another server. example: scp /local/file user@host.com:/path/to/save/file
10. tar - tape archiver, tar takes a bunch of files, and munges them into one .tar file, the files are often compressed with the gzip algorithm, and use the .tar.gz extension. to create a tar tar -cf archive.tar /directory, then to extract the archive to the current directory run tar -xf archive.tar to use gzip, just add a z to the options, to create a tar.gz: tar -czf archive.tar.gz /dir to extract it tar -xzf archive.tar.gz
11. grep - pattern matcher, grep takes a regular expression, or to match a simple string you can use fast grep, fgrep failure /var/log/messages, I’m usually just looking for a simple pattern so I tend to use fgrep more than regular grep.
12. find - lists files and directories recursively on a single line, I usually pipe grep into the mix when I use find, eg: find / | fgrep log
13. tail - prints the last few lines of a file, this is handy for checking log files tail /var/log/messages if you need see more lines, use the -n option, tail -n 50 /var/log/messages you can also use the -f option, which will continuously show you the end of the file as things are added to it (very handy for watching logs) tail -f /var/log/messages
14. head - same as tail, but shows the first few lines the file
15. vi - text editor, there are several text editors such as emacs, and nano, but vi is usually installed on any server so its a good one to learn. To edit a file type vi file to edit a line press Esc i then to save changes and exit use Esc wq, or to quit without saving use Esc q!. There are a million other commands, but that will enable you to edit files at a basic level.

It is your twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth hour without sleep. Only sheer force of will and caffeine drive you from page three to page 20 in your 25-page paper. In the library, you awake suddenly in a puddle of your own saliva at 4 a.m. A “few winks” became a six-hour slumber.

A retirement plan similar to a 401(k) plan, but one which is offered by non-profit organizations, such as universities and some charitable organizations, rather than corporations.

There are several advantages to 403(b) plans:

• Contributions lower taxable income
• Larger contributions can be made to the account
• Earnings can grow tax-deferred, and some plans allow loans.
• Contributions can grow tax-deferred until withdrawal at which time the money is taxed as ordinary income (which is sometimes a disadvantage).

I’m a young man, yet I’m 7000 years old.

I’m alone and lonely, yet between my ribs there is a full stadium.

I’m scared, yet the human that I fear the most, is my self.

I’m speechless, yet my heart has millions of speeches.

I wonder.

I stood by a grave, with a marble head stone; a rich man inside.

I stood by a ditch, dirt blown wind barely covering a homeless man’s dead body.

I smelled the breeze, and they stink exactly the same.

I wonder.

In my will, my son, I pass to you my responsibilities, my fortune, and my taboos.

I give you the responsibility to watch over the moon every night, so nothing bad happens to it.

I give you the wealth of the night in Cairo. That one will never run out of pleasure.

I don’t want you to ever ever ever visit my grave. That is my ultimate taboo.

I want you to wonder, then write your will to your son.

Salah Jaheen, Egyptian Poet and Movie Director/Producer. 1930-1985.

The cost associated with raising one additional dollar of capital.

The marginal cost will vary according to the type of capital used. For example, raising funds through the use of unsecured or subordinated debt, or through debt that requires higher interest rates to offset risk, will be more expensive than debt that is backed by collateral, such as a secured bond.

1. A fraudulent brokerage firm that uses aggressive telephone sales tactics to sell securities that the brokerage owns and wants to get rid of. The securities they sell are typically poor investment opportunities, and almost always penny stocks.

2. A brokerage that makes trades on a client’s behalf and promises a certain price. The brokerage, however, waits until a different price arises and then makes the trade, keeping the difference as profit. Investopedia explains Bucket Shop.

3. Bucket shops are sometimes called the boiler room. The U.S. has laws restricting bucket shop practices by limiting the ability of brokerage houses to create and trade certain types of over-the-counter securities.

4. The definition for a bucket shop comes from more than 50 years ago, when bucket shops would do trades all day long, throwing the tickets into a bucket. At the end of the day they would decide which accounts to award the winning and losing trades to.
