It finally came to this! Here I am standing in front of Cheung Kong Center holding a placard saying “I want to have lunch with Li Ka Shing”. Actually, inspired by the guy next to me (Brian Chau) who wants Mr. Li to invest in his company!! I told him that if he’s successful in securing funding, Mr. Li can expect me to be standing there next!

“This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history!”

A Law teacher once came across a student who was willing to learn but was unable to pay the fee. The student struck a deal saying, “I would pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court”. Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was
finished and the teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, the student reminded the deal and pushed forward the days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying: “If I win this case, as per the court of law, the student has to pay me. And if I lose the case, the student will still have to pay me because he would have won his first case. So either way I will have to get the money.” Equally brilliant, the student argued back saying: “If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don’t have to pay anything to the teacher. And if I lose the case, I don’t have to pay him because I haven’t won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything.”

So guys,….. wat do u think? Who is correct? the teacher or the student?

A question was asked in examination of physics paper of senior secondary:

“SHOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF A TALL BUILDING WITH
THE AID OF A BAROMETER.”

The student had answered, “Take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then
bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope
is the height of the building.”

The teacher was about to give a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student
claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter. Read the full story…………….
The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really
answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if
full credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in
his physics course and to certify competence in physics, but the answer
did not confirm this.

A woman in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun
threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly,
without an appointment, into the Harvard University President’s outer
office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country
hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn’t even deserve to be in
Cambridge.
“We want to see The President,” the man said softly.
“He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary snapped.
“We’ll wait,” the woman replied.

For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally
become discouraged and go away. They didn’t and the secretary grew
frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was
a chore she always regretted. “Maybe if you see them for a few minutes,
they’ll leave,” she said to him.
He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously
didn’t have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and
homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern faced
and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
