To be Social or not is now a burning question?

A college economics professor did this experiment in his class.
The aim was to test if socialism works?
He set some tests and said all grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
The second saw the students who had studied little then studied even less and the ones who had studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. So the second average was a D.
No one was happy.
The 3rd test saw, the average was F. And as the tests proceeded and the scores got worse bickering, blame and name-calling resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
It was concluded that when the system takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that?
Conversely, it is said that Capitalism is flawed and equally doomed as it relies on a system that assumes the value of something today will always be more tomorrow.

Working from home

I have discovered the ultimate job that includes travel, an open air life style where you can meet lots of people with similar vocations.

And above all that it gives me the the ability to work from home.

Economic Restructuring at Slackers Inc

In these hard economic times getting value from employees is critical.

A company needed a shakeup as the economic crisis kicked in. They had just hired a new CEO for restructuring who was determined as a first step to rid the company of all the slackers.

On a tour of the facilities, he saw a guy leaning on a wall and wanted to let the workshop full of workers know that he meant business.

'How much money do you make a week?' he said as he walked up to the. Surprised, the young you replied, 'I make $400 a week. Why?' The CEO ignoring his question, pulled $1,600 from his pocket and loudly so everyone could hear said, 'Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back!'

Feeling good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, 'Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did around here?'

A lone voice from the back of the workshop responded, 'He's the Pizza delivery boy from Domino's.'
