FW: words to live by

< < < <
< < < < < < A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo,
< <and
< < < < < < when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at
<the
< < < back
< < < < < < that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the
<herd
< <as
< < < a
< < < < < < whole, because the general speed and health of the whole is
< <maintained
< < < < < < or even improved by the regular culling of the weakest members.
< < < < < < In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast
<as
< <the
< < < < < < slowest brain cells through which the electrical signals pass.
< <Recent
< < < < < < epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive intake
<of
< < < < < < alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and
<weakest
< < < < < < brain cells first. Thus, regular consumption of beer helps
< <eliminate
< < < the
< < < < < < weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more
< <efficient
< < < < < < machine. The result of this in-depth study verifies and
<validates
< <the
< < < < < < causal link between all-weekend parties and job related
< <performance.
< < < < < < It also explains why, after a few short years of leaving a
< <university
< < < < < and
< < < < < < getting married, most professionals cannot keep up with the
< < < < < < performance of the new graduates. Only those few that stick to
<the
< < < < < strict
< < < < < < regimen of voracious alcoholic consumption can maintain the
< < < intellectual
< < < < < < levels that they achieved during their college years.
< < < < < < So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its
< <technological
< < < < < < edge, we must not shudder in our homes. Get back into the bars.
< <Quaff
< < < < < < that pint. Your company and country need you to be at your peak,
< <and
< < < < < < you shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could have. Take
< <life
< < < by
< < < < < < the bottle and be all that you can be.
< < < < < < Forward this to all of your friends, acquaintances and
<co-workers
< <that
< < < < < < may be in danger of losing their edge.
