my wife and i have a large department, so large that we only use a small part of it, and we lease the rest of it to a company.

the company sells facilities to restaurants in shanghai, as you can guess, their business is good, and their good business depends largely on sales reps, and sales reps need to be motivated everyday, so the boss got a great idea : to give a speech to motivate his sales reps every morning.

the speech starts from 8:00 in the morning. the first part is just fine with me, but the following part is somehow unbearable, it's a "slogan shouting", the boss shouts to his sales reps and his sales reps shout back. it's like this:

the boss asks:"are you an honest man?"    the sales reps reply: "yes sir, i am an honest man!"

the boss asks: "are you a fearless man?"    the sales reps reply: "yes sir, i am a fearless man!"

the boss asks: "are you a man with focus?"    the sales reps reply: "yes sir, i am a man with focus!"

the boss asks: "are you a man with energy?"    the sales reps reply: "yes sir, i am a man with energy!"

this part goes on and on and on ... for about 10 minutes, then ... i wake up.

what do you think i can do with this? the only thing i can do is - 

W-A-K-E  U-P!!!

if you want to buy a new laptop, i suggest you buy a heavy one. why? here is the story:

a friend of mine went to spain and brought his laptop with him. every morning he took his laptop to the school and, one day he was robbed by a spanish man. the robber ran and my friend also ran, chasing after the robber.

luckily the robber is fat, but unfortunately my friend is also fat, but luckily again the thief took the laptop, and the laptop is heavy. after about 10 minuts chasing, the thief gave up and throw the laptop.

see, better to have a heavy laptop :))

ps: the laptop works as good as it did before
