Happiness is being famous for your financial ability to indulge in every kind of excess.

Last Friday, while waiting for the room to clear so that we can have our meeting...

X: *laughs* Oh, come on. You cannot keep talking in dollars and cents.

Me: Oh please. Do you not talk about dollars and cents?

---

Today, while talking to a supplier...

Y: We hope that you can look past the dollars and cents.

Me: I agree. I would also like to look past the dollars and cents, but the fact of the matter is that it still matters.

---

If you think that dollars and cents do not matter in this world, then you are surely too naive. Yes, happiness and health is more important than wealth. But let us be realistic here: money still matters.

Our frequent complaint among ourselves in our company:

If you don't have money, then don't build.


Do you honestly believe that the cilent would disregard the project cost?

I think not.

You know I would also like to tell some people these, "If you don't have brain, then don't talk!"

Or the ever popular, "If you don't have any cow sense, then don't drive!"

Unfortunately, good manners and the fear of being beaten to a pulp prevent me from doing so.

Lol... The Green Ogre fears being beaten to a pulp. Surely you will stomp those people into a pulp first, no? :)
