Joke
during the Persian gulf War, i was assigned to go to Saudi arabia. as i was saying good-bye to my family, my three-year-old son, Christopher, was holding on to my leg and pleading with me not to leave. “no, daddy, please don’t go!” he kept repeating.
We were beginning to make a scene when my wife, desperate to calm him, said, “let daddy go and i’ll take you to get a pizza.”
immediately, Christopher loosened his death grip, stepped back and in a calm voice said, “Bye, daddy.”

Einstein And His Chauffeur

Getting Old
Celebrity Quotes
Old BaSketBall PlayerS ... ... never die, they just go on dribbling.
i believe that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
When albert einstein was making the rounds of the speaker’s circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speech making.
“i have an idea, boss,” his chauffeur said. “i’ve heard you give this speech so many times. i’ll bet i could give it for you.”
einstein laughed loudly and said, “Why not? let’s do it!”When they arrived at the dinner, einstein donned the chauffeur’s cap and
jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendi-tion of einstein’s speech and even answered a few questions expertly.
Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody’s fool.
Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, “Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that i will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me.”

Marketing Gone Awrya nice cross cultural example of the fact that all pictures or symbols are
not interpreted the same across the world: staff at the african port of Steva-dores saw the “internationally recognized” symbol for “fragile” (i.e. broken wine glass) and presumed it was a box of broken glass. rather than waste space they threw all the boxes into the sea!

Traffic Laws
driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is never a good thing, some jurisdictions have laws that go a little too far.
in virginia Beach, va., and in texas, if you and the person who is driving the car is drunk, both will be charged.
if you have been convicted of driving while in-toxicated in new Jersey, you’ll no longer be eligible to apply for personalized license plates.

John G. Miller author of ... ‘QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®’, ‘Flipping the Switch ... Unleash the Power of Personal Accountability’, ‘Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional’,
http://www.qbq.com/ denver, Colorado, uSa 303-286-9900 [email protected]
A Fresh Perspective Joanne, who subscribed to our QBQ! Quicknote list last year, recently sent me
a nice email saying she was unsubscribing because i was "preaching to the choir."yet, she loves our stuff. i know that because in her note she told me she buys our
books and gives them away to people! But the QBQ! Quicknotes she's been receiving are, what? ... redundant to
what she believes? Color me confused.let me tell you something:i am the guy who wrote the QBQ! and Flipping the Switch books and i still
need to hear their messages every single day. Otherwise, i fall into the human traps of victim thinking, complaining, procrastination, and blame.
But, since she's a consumer of our product and i'm all salesperson, i wrote her back saying politely, "Thanks for your belief, Joanne. Sorry to see you go. take care." i chose to not try to change her mind as i've learned one can rarely win an email debate. Maybe you've found that to be true, too.
But i thought to myself: Well, i still need to hear this stuff, because i am so SO human!
and that humaness comes out mostly in wanting to change other people. how about you? anyone you wish would change?
i tend to want to change these people: * Politicians who spin, lie, deceive, and pander to win an election * People who say one thing and do another (see above) * executives who choose to not hire QBQ, inc. but pass the decision to us
through an assistant * People who put "policies before people" * Those who aren't an "eStJ" like me (Myers Briggs' language). See me here * People who don't do things the way i would do them (see directly above) * The dad who verbally tore his 11-year-old son apart in the grocery store last
week, shaming him to his core, because the boy couldn't find an item. We prefer this approach: Parenting the QBQ Way
* drivers who risk my family's life running a red light when the cops aren't around
* People who think other people should pay higher taxes, the Federal gov't ex-ists to take care of us, and "Occupiers" who stand for little more than envy
* Those who ask for advice but then don't take it * anyone who misunderstands mei probably sound pretty uptight to you. actually, not so much.i turn 54 this month and—being almost grown up, i'm getting much better on
this whole wanting and needing to change others thing. ask my wise wife, karen (an "eSFP"—meet her [7]here), who i first asked on a date almost 36 years ago. She'll tell i'm growing up slowly.
Part of this personal growth has come from the natural mellowing and winnow-ing process called "life." But like all of you believers in the Quicknote messages you receive, i also have access to this tool called [8]QBQ! The Question Behind the Question that helps me stay focused on the only person i can change:
Me.Powerful and accountable questions (QBQs) like, "how can i change myself ?""What can i do to let go?" and "how can i be my best today?" aren't new to you
fans of all things QBQ! But if you've been using our stuff as long as you've been getting it from us, you know it works. you also know that we all need to keep hear-ing it if we're to ever "flip the switch."
in the end, the critical thing is for me to keep preaching personal accountabil-ity to this Choir of One. The truth is nobody ever arrives.
not even the choir. John g. Miller

http://www.qbq.com/ denver, Colorado, uSa 303-286-9900 [email protected]
A Fresh Perspective Joanne, who subscribed to our QBQ! Quicknote list last year, recently sent me
a nice email saying she was unsubscribing because i was "preaching to the choir."yet, she loves our stuff. i know that because in her note she told me she buys our
books and gives them away to people! But the QBQ! Quicknotes she's been receiving are, what? ... redundant to
what she believes? Color me confused.let me tell you something:i am the guy who wrote the QBQ! and Flipping the Switch books and i still
need to hear their messages every single day. Otherwise, i fall into the human traps of victim thinking, complaining, procrastination, and blame.
But, since she's a consumer of our product and i'm all salesperson, i wrote her back saying politely, "Thanks for your belief, Joanne. Sorry to see you go. take care." i chose to not try to change her mind as i've learned one can rarely win an email debate. Maybe you've found that to be true, too.
But i thought to myself: Well, i still need to hear this stuff, because i am so SO human!
and that humaness comes out mostly in wanting to change other people. how about you? anyone you wish would change?
i tend to want to change these people: * Politicians who spin, lie, deceive, and pander to win an election * People who say one thing and do another (see above) * executives who choose to not hire QBQ, inc. but pass the decision to us
through an assistant * People who put "policies before people" * Those who aren't an "eStJ" like me (Myers Briggs' language). See me here * People who don't do things the way i would do them (see directly above) * The dad who verbally tore his 11-year-old son apart in the grocery store last
week, shaming him to his core, because the boy couldn't find an item. We prefer this approach: Parenting the QBQ Way
* drivers who risk my family's life running a red light when the cops aren't around
* People who think other people should pay higher taxes, the Federal gov't ex-ists to take care of us, and "Occupiers" who stand for little more than envy
* Those who ask for advice but then don't take it * anyone who misunderstands mei probably sound pretty uptight to you. actually, not so much.i turn 54 this month and—being almost grown up, i'm getting much better on
this whole wanting and needing to change others thing. ask my wise wife, karen (an "eSFP"—meet her [7]here), who i first asked on a date almost 36 years ago. She'll tell i'm growing up slowly.
Part of this personal growth has come from the natural mellowing and winnow-ing process called "life." But like all of you believers in the Quicknote messages you receive, i also have access to this tool called [8]QBQ! The Question Behind the Question that helps me stay focused on the only person i can change:
Me.Powerful and accountable questions (QBQs) like, "how can i change myself ?""What can i do to let go?" and "how can i be my best today?" aren't new to you
fans of all things QBQ! But if you've been using our stuff as long as you've been getting it from us, you know it works. you also know that we all need to keep hear-ing it if we're to ever "flip the switch."
in the end, the critical thing is for me to keep preaching personal accountabil-ity to this Choir of One. The truth is nobody ever arrives.
not even the choir. John g. Miller

Einstein And His Chauffeur

Celebrity Quotes
Old BaSketBall PlayerS ... ... never die, they just go on dribbling.
i believe that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
When albert einstein was making the rounds of the speaker’s circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speech making.
“i have an idea, boss,” his chauffeur said. “i’ve heard you give this speech so many times. i’ll bet i could give it for you.”
einstein laughed loudly and said, “Why not? let’s do it!”When they arrived at the dinner, einstein donned the chauffeur’s cap and
jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendi-tion of einstein’s speech and even answered a few questions expertly.
Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody’s fool.
Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, “Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that i will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me.”

not interpreted the same across the world: staff at the african port of Steva-dores saw the “internationally recognized” symbol for “fragile” (i.e. broken wine glass) and presumed it was a box of broken glass. rather than waste space they threw all the boxes into the sea!

Traffic Laws
driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is never a good thing, some jurisdictions have laws that go a little too far.
in virginia Beach, va., and in texas, if you and the person who is driving the car is drunk, both will be charged.
if you have been convicted of driving while in-toxicated in new Jersey, you’ll no longer be eligible to apply for personalized license plates.

The Art Collectora famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a
mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store. he does a double take.
he knows that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The store-owner replies, “i’m sorry, but the cat isn’t for sale.”The collector says, “Please, i need a hungry cat around the house to catch
mice. i’ll pay you 20 dollars for that cat.”and the owner says “Sold,” and hands over the cat.The collector continues, “hey, for the twenty bucks i wonder if you could
throw in that old saucer. The cat’s used to it and it’ll save me from having to get a dish.”
The owner says, “Sorry buddy, but that’s my lucky saucer. So far this week i’ve sold sixty-eight cats.”
The ZooOne day Joe’s mother turned to Joe’s father and said,” it’s such a

Joke
during the Persian gulf War, i was assigned to go to Saudi arabia. as i was saying good-bye to my family, my three-year-old son, Christopher, was holding on to my leg and pleading with me not to leave. “no, daddy, please don’t go!” he kept repeating.
We were beginning to make a scene when my wife, desperate to calm him, said, “let daddy go and i’ll take you to get a pizza.”
immediately, Christopher loosened his death grip, stepped back and in a calm voice said, “Bye, daddy.”
