THE MAN WHO SOLD HOT DOGS

Many years ago there was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold HOT DOGS.

He was hard of hearing so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes so he read no newspaper.

But he sold HOT DOGS.
He put up signs on the highway telling people how good they were. He stood on the side of the road and cried: "BUY A HOT DOG, MISTER?" And people bought, because he was soenthusiastic. Gradually he increased his meat and bun orders. He bought a bigger stove to take care of his growing trade.

He was so happy selling Hot Dogs, and people enjoyed doing business with him.

One day his son came home from university to help him out. And something happened. His son said, "Father, haven’t you been listening to the radio.? Haven’t you been reading the newspaper.? The situation in Europe is terrible.

The domestic economic situation is worse. Interest rates are up." Whereupon the father thought, "Well, my son has been to university, he reads the newspaper, he listens to the radio, and he ought to know." So the father cut down on his meat and bun orders, he took down all his advertising signs, and no longer bothered to stand on the highway to sell his hot dogs. And his HOT DOG sales fell, ALMOST OVERNIGHT.
"You’re right, son," the father said to the boy. "WE CERTAINLY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GREAT RECESSION."

Has someone taken away your dream? Have you seen the movie the Ghost Busters? Then you know that you can tell a Ghost Buster by the clothes they wear and the funny car they drive. But you can't tell a Dream Buster, because they could look like your friend, a relative or a loved one. Don't share your dreams with negative people. Go ahead and imagine yourself successful. For your dreams to come true, create a success team. (Isolation is a dream killer) You need a team to help you brain-storm and to boost you up after any set backs. Be sure the ones you share your dreams with believe in your dreams.

The Ultimate Motivation Memo?

To All Employees: Due to increased competition and a keen desire to remain in business, we find it necessary to institute a new policy. Effective immediately, we find we must ask that somewhere between starting time and quitting time, and without infringing too much on the time usually devoted to lunch period, coffee breaks, rest period, story telling, ticket selling, golfing, motor racing, sporting events, holidays, and the rehashing of yesterday’s TV programs, that each employee endeavour to find some time that can be set aside and known as a WORK BREAK.

To some this may seem a radical innovation but we honestly believe the idea has great possibilities. It can be an aid to steady employment and it might also be a means of assuring regular pay cheques. While the WORK BREAK adoption plan is optional, it is hoped that each employee will find enough time to give the plan a fair trial. It is also hoped that those employees not in favour of adopting the WORK BREAK idea will have fully completed their holiday plans. The Management

JOB APPLICATION

An applicant was filling out a job application. When he came to the question: “Have you ever been arrested?” he wrote, “No”. The next question, intended for people who had answered yes to the previous question, was: “Why?” The applicant answered it anyway as, “I never got caught”.

STICK TO YOUR SPECIALTY – IT MIGHT PAY OFF

A woman decided to go into the hot dog vending business. So, she took out a loan, bought a hot dog cart and set up business on a busy corner. The business did really well and soon her friends came by to congratulate her. One, seeing her success, asked to borrow some money. When the hot dog vendor turned the would-be borrower down she was livid. “What’s the problem?” she said, “you’re a big success and I’m not asking for much.” With that our hot dog vendor pointed to a large building and said, “I borrowed my money from that bank and we have an understanding. They have agreed not to sell hot dogs and I’ve agreed not to lend money!”
