Management Lessons

LESSON 1:
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff, and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff, and he was also gone. Then the boss calmly said, "I want those two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm.
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "Always allow the bosses to speak first"

LESSON 2:
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, the company CEO said to a young executive "Listen, this is a very sensitive and important document, however as my secretary has left for the day can you make this thing work?""Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "Never assume that the boss knows everything"

LESSON 3:
An American and Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA, when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?" The confused Japanese replies, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean." The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese remains confused over the question, so the irritated American again yells, "What kind of -ese are you? are you a Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese ??? To which the Japanese humbly replied, "Oh, I'm Japanese?. A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked "What kind of -key are you?". To which the frustrated American replies "What do you mean what kind of -key am I?" The Japanese replies with a smile, "Are you a Yankee, Donkee, or Monkee?"
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "Never insult anyone"

Malaysian universities dropped out of sight......really sad.....can someone tell me why? Reasons given (by M'sian Uni officials) could be that "biasness" was used in tabulating such rankings or not according to certain standards. What you are is what you teach. With such low qualities of M'sian Univs, you can't expect to find a better lecturer (who hails from a M'sian Uni too) in future also.

Ethnic Relations

I wonder what pushed a local uni to rush a subject when the so-called not ready textbook which is so bias & untruthful. The main purpose of the Ethnic Relations' topic is to integrate the multi races in Malaysia but the so-called suggested textbook has topics which blamed certain parties for certain past events in Malaysia (a bit racial too). Reasons given for that were history could not changed.

What was going through their heads when this topic was to bring everyone closer? I really cannot understand. But thanks to the wisdom of our Prime Minister, he ordered the so-called textbook to be withdrawn immediately.

Urgent steps need to be taken too as certain youngsters are also influenced by external parties for various selfish reasons....... as seen in this video, which was taped at the UPM's canteen recently Incident at UPM.

Police intervened after receiving calls but swept under the carpet as they considered it's internal uni matters due to no injuries/assault.

It's really sad to see such situation knowing that in future all this undergraduates are going to be in the real working-life world.
