When 0 (Zero) is Considered Inauspicious…

Kaushal Kishore

Zero is a unique number that makes zero, if it’s multiplied with any number. Zero by itself has no value, but it’s a very selfless digit. If kept along side another digit, it increases its value. As the money increases, the number of zeroes also increases-
10
100
1000
10000 and so on…

But in India, that invented zero, it’s preferable to add 1 instead of 0 at the end, when it comes to give or receive money, e.g.
11
51
101
1001
5001
10001 and so on…

Happiness (and laughter) at work

Raffaello Palandri's Blog

I’m a sustainer and a promoter of the idea of Happiness at Work (I am the proud coordinator of the Happiness Fest Events in Nuremberg every year), and happiness requires a bit of humor.

Humor is also a clear sign of intelligence, which is never a bad thing in a business environment.

Workplaces that are too serious and that are against a healthy dose of laughter, happiness, and humor, have a severe negative impact on their employees and managers.

Emotional intelligence is also involved here: laughing is an extremely effective system to create social bonds, decrease interpersonal and hierarchical distance, and promote communication and teamwork.

Maybe–Talvez

Coisas da SIL

Guarde pra você
Aquilo que saiu sem querer

Talvez você não quiz nem dizer.
Talvez nem entender.

A roda gigante
Vira
Roda
E sempre sai contente.

O percurso parece curto
Mas não não é
Apenas sai confuso
Meio obscuro
Meio escuro talvez.

Maybe

keep it to you
That which came out unintentionally

Maybe you didn’t even want to say.
Maybe not even understand.

the ferris wheel
Will come
Wheel
And always leaves happy.

The route seems short
but no it’s not
just get confused
half obscure
A little dark maybe.
