A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
"That's nice", she thinks, "but I want more."
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that Human are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

Thoughts
If you cannot control your thoughts, your thoughts will control you. Negative thoughts are toxic to ourselves... to our achievements, our relationships, our goals, our careers. If you can take your negative thoughts and turn them into positive thoughts you can change your circumstances and help others do the same. Fuel your brain with positivity, begin to notice the beauty in life, as well as the opportunities that are presented. Meditate, workout, read a book! Don't complain, instead be grateful! Stay far away from negative people, gossip, and other trash. Mold your mind.
Before you...
Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.
By William Arthur Ward
3 greatest treasures
“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
~ Lao Tzu

Difficult People
Difficult people do exist at work.
Difficult people come in every variety and no workplace is without them.
How difficult a person is for you to deal with depends on your self-esteem, your self-confidence and your professional courage.
Dealing with difficult people is easier when the person is just generally obnoxious or when the behavior affects more than one person.
Dealing with difficult people is much tougher when they are attacking you or undermining your professional contribution.
