There was a tourist from Holland (The Netherlands) who talked to an American. He explained jokingly about the colors of the flag of Holland. The flag of Holland (The Netherlands) has three colors – red, white and blue. Alright. So he said it like this, “Our country’s flag symbolizes the tax system in Holland (The Netherlands). Whenever we talk about tax, our faces become red. And whenever we receive the tax payment notice, we turn white. And after we finish paying tax, we become blue.” So the American said, “Well, we are the same. But not only that, we even see stars.”
There was one person who had been awarded Person of the Year in a local place somewhere. So people of course came and interviewed him, and there were journalists and television and all that.

So he said, “Well, I think there are five factors, five key points, important key points that make me successful. The first: I always treat other people the way I want to be treated. The second: I always sell at a very reasonable price. The third: I am always very honest in in dealing with business, very honest. The fourth: I am always very tolerant, very loving towards my employees. And the fifth: My aunt in Cleveland has died and left me five million US dollars.”
There was a man who came home from work and then what did he see? The bed was not made. The kitchen was full of dirty dishes and all the floors were smeared with mud and colors and socks from the children and dirty clothes everywhere. And then all the toys and children’s things were all over the place. Nothing was tidy. So, the man asked the wife, “What happened? What’s the matter today? What’s going on?” So, the wife said, “Nothing’s going on. You always ask me what I have done all day and today I haven’t done anything.”
