Give person gun & he robs bank. Give person a bank & he robs everyone
email from Gallege De Silva
Robbers entered a bank in a small town.
One of them shouted: "Don't move! The money belongs
to the bank.
Your lives belong to you.”
Immediately all the people in the bank laid on the floor
quietly and without panic.
(This is an example of how the correct wording of a
sentence can make everyone change their view of the world.)
One woman laid on the floor in a provocative manner.
The robber approached her saying, " Ma'am, this is a
robbery not a rape. Please behave accordingly."
(This is an example of how to behave professionally, and
focus on the goal.)
While running from the bank, the youngest robber (who had
a college degree) said to the oldest robber (who had barely finished elementary
school), "Hey, maybe we should count how much we stole."
The older man replied:
"Don’t be stupid. It's a lot of money so let's wait
for the news on TV to find out how much money was taken from the bank."
(This is an example of how life experience is more
important than a degree.)
After the robbery, the manager of the bank said to his
accountant, "Let's call the cops and tell them how much has been
stolen."
“Wait,”, said the accountant, "before we do that,
let's add the $800,000 we took for ourselves a few months ago and just say that
it was stolen as part of today’s robbery."
(This is an example of taking advantage of an
opportunity.)
The following day, it was reported in the news that the bank
was robbed of $3 million.
The robbers then counted the money, but they found only $1
million so they started to grumble.
"We risked our lives for $1 million, while the bank's
management robbed two million dollars without blinking?
Maybe its better to learn how to work the system, instead
of being a simple robber."
(This is an example of how knowledge can be more useful
than power.)
Give person
gun & he robs bank. Give
person a bank & he robs
everyone.

The new President, Sri Lanka.
email from dbdes
It looks
As if presidency has changed hands
Peacefully
And there is an opportunity
To continue the progressive work we have seen , and no
reason that Maithripala, would not or cannot continue, improve on what he was a
part of,
Correct all the errors that so many pointed out, abolish the
exec presidency
Use all intellectual, affluent and all members
To sustain our status
As the most rapidly growin in SE or maybe entire Asia
And develop trade,
Increase opportunities
Create more opportunities, and millionaire and billionaires
( why not)
Let them invest , reinvest, create jobs and opportunities
for others( increase the growth and development we can see clearly, and make it
more uniform and not wasted in political, destructive rhetoric and
wastefulness, divisive action.
We are just Ceylonese with new lankan name, need no division
or divisive identity, but remain as ceylonese or Lankans, include 2 nd 3Rd 4
generation ceylonese living abroad, unaware of
their ability to contribute, enjoy or just be a part of all of us.
We are not bad, maybe downright great people to be
associated with, if they get to understand all of us.
Let's be gracious, grateful, thankful to the old regimes,
and develop more and with unity and gratitude for all opportunities afforded to
all of us, by so many countries and our own people.
That's v easy
It's in our blood
Our culture and it's what we all are( though occasionally we
deviate , but return to baseline, very fast)
