BRUNEI | STREET | The Lady & The Drink ..

.... another photo for the Black & White series ....

... a thirst quencher during the hot bright day .... drink plenty of water ... at least 8 glasses of water they said .... but it also depends on your body mass ....


.. the lady and the soft drink .....

.. is the canned drink full..? .. half empty ...? .... half full...?

.. the typical question of the water in the glas .....

.....To the optimist, the glass is half full....
......To the pessimist, the glass is half empty....
.......To the engineer........ the glass is twice as big as it needs to be....



.... BTW ......There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical..... After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired.
.......Several years later....... his company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multi-million dollar machines.
........ They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine fixed, but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past..........

.....The engineer reluctantly took the challenge......... He spent a day studying the huge machine.
...... At the end of the day he marked an "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and proudly stated, "This is where your problem is." The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. ........

The company received a bill for $10,000 from the engineer for his services. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly:

One chalk mark..................$1

Knowing where to put it.........$9,999

It was paid in full and the engineer retired in peace.......

... peace u all....
