The elderly widower proposed marriage to his girlfriend but could not remember her answer the next morning. He called her embarrassed, and she said she also could not remember who she said yes to. A successful businessman offered his new son-in-law a 50% partnership in his profitable business. However, the son-in-law refused both working in the factory or the office. When asked what he would do, the son-in-law replied "Easy, buy me out." The reflections question if younger generations starting careers today are too choosy and not willing to struggle or take on challenges, wanting easy work with high pay but unwilling to work hard.

Marry Me
An elderly widow and widower were dating for about
five years. The man finally decided to ask her to
marry. She immediately said "yes".
The next morning when he awoke, he couldn't
remember what her answer was! "Was she happy? I
think so, wait, no, she looked at me funny..."
After about an hour of trying to remember to no avail,
he got on the telephone and gave her a call.
Embarrassed, he admitted that he didn't remember her
answer to the marriage proposal.
"Oh", she said, "I'm so glad you called. I remembered
saying 'yes' to someone, but I couldn't remember who
it was."
Reflections
* Dementia and forgetfulness are not only the
afflictions of old people. Younger people today also
are lacking in mindfulness.
* The mind has to be trained from young in terms
of mindfulness. We need to care for the brain and
mind functions with jealthy mental activities and
hobbies …right from a young age.

Family Business
A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new
son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you
into the family," said the man. "To show you how much
we care for you, I am making you a 50-50 partner in my
business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day
and learn the operations."
The son-in-law interrupted. "I hate factories. I can't stand
the noise." "I see," replied the father-in-law.
"Well then you'll work in the office and take charge of
some of the operations."
"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand
being stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just made you
a half-owner of a profitable corporation, but you don't
like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going
to do with you?"
"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."
Reflections
* Does the younger generation today, starting on their
career tend to be choosy and not willing to struggle and
take up challenges.
* Many today want easy work, lots of freedom and high
wages but are unwilling to ‘toil and sweat’.
