Thought of the day- Pharmaceutical Conspiracy No 37

Back in the good old 60’s people took LSD to make the world crazy. Now when the world is crazy, people take Prozac to make the world normal.

A Sucker for Punishment?

The authorities in central Niger state charged Mohammed Bello with "insulting religious" creed and "unlawful marriages" after local chiefs and Muslim leaders gave him a September 7, 2008 deadline to comply with Sharia, Islamic law, which allows a man to have no more than four wives.

The 84-year-old Islamic preacher with 86 wives was jailed after he failed to comply to divorce all but four of the women.

I have one wife, whom I’m madly in love with, but she sure is a handful. Having ‘challenging’ wives seems to be a pretty common thing among men these days, so what in the name of God would persuade a man to have 86 of them?!?

In addition, he’s got 170 kids- tough break for Christmas!

Finding Motivation

In my current business (recruitment) I frequently do a lot of work for no pay at all. This can of course put a major dent in your motivation and there are days when you simply can’t get over ‘losses’ worth tens of thousands- occupational hazard they call it.

The real trick is to get the motivation back although a particular strategy or approach may not work every time. So you have to look for new things or ways to make it happen.

I had a couple of those days recently where nothing worked. My eldest daughter looked at me and asked what my problem was (cheeky little shit) to which I explained that I lost some money at work.

She immediately slapped in the face and told me to "get over it".

I think the shock of my daughter slapping me must have worked ‘cause I’m back to my normal self.

I guess sometimes you don’t need to look hard for motivation- it could be right in front of you!
