Why did the chicken cross the road?

I just got this email from my cousin and thought it was pretty funny.  I don't know the original author to give them the credit.   Enjoy the chicken stories...

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

SARAH PALIN:  The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, he's a maverick!

 

BARACK OBAMA: Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs they can keep their eggs.  No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs.  Period.

 

JOHN McCain:  My friends, the chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

 

HILLARY CLINTON:  What difference at this point does it make why the chicken crossed the road.

 

GEORGE W. BUSH:  We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road.  We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not.  The chicken is either with us or against us.  There is no middle ground here.

 

DICK CHENEY:  Where's my gun?

 

COLIN POWELL:  Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing

the road.

 

BILL CLINTON:  I did not cross the road with that chicken.

 

AL GORE:  I invented the chicken.

 

JOHN KERRY:  Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!  It was the wrong road to

cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions.  I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

 

AL SHARPTON:  Why are all the chickens white?

DR. PHIL:  The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem

on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road.  What we need to do is

help him realize how stupid he is acting by not taking on his current problems before adding any new problems.

 

OPRAH:  Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross the road so

badly.  So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm

going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the

rest of the chickens.

 

ANDERSON COOPER:  We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE:  That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty!  You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

 

PAT BUCHANAN:  To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

 

MARTHA STEWART:  No one called me to warn me which way the chicken was going.  I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level.  No little bird gave me any insider information.

 

DR. SEUSS:  Did the chicken cross the road?  Did he cross it with a toad?  Yes, the chicken crossed the road,

but why it crossed I've not been told.

 

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:  To die in the rain, alone.

JERRY FALWELL:  Because the chicken was gay!  Can't you people see the plain truth?  That's why they call it

the 'other side.'  Yes, my friends, that chicken was gay.  If you eat that chicken, you will become gay too.  I

say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media whitewashes with

seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.'  That chicken should not be crossing the road.  It's as plain

and as simple as that.

 

GRANDPA:  In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.  Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

 

BARBARA WALTERS:  Isn't that interesting?  In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the

first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish

it's lifelong dream of crossing the road.

 

ARISTOTLE:  It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

 

JOHN LENNON:  Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

 

BILL GATES:  I have just released eChicken2013, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your

important documents and balance your checkbook.  Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2013.  This

new platform is much more stable and will never reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:  Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

 

COLONEL SANDERS:  Did I miss one?

Calm, Cool, Collected - 3 C's

When faced with tough business or life decisions, it can be difficult.  It's best to not react but keep your cool.  Think clearly and don't make impulsive decisions.  I like to take a deep breath and survey.  Composure under pressure will make you a better leader.  

Next time your faced with a tough situation, stay calm, cool and collected. 

T.E.A.M - what does this mean to you?

Together Everyone Achieves More

Teamwork is the way you grow, your company can grow, and achieve new heights.   

This is a short post to get you motivated to work well with others.  

I personally treat our team like a soccer team, yes I said soccer.  We need each position player then a few stars on the team.

Mark Cuban - Motivation!

I am an avid Shark Tank fanatic and I really enjoy the advise from Mark Cuban.  His drive and passion is contagious.

Here are some quotes that I read often:

"It's not about money or connections — it's the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone... And if it fails, you learn from what happened and do a better job next time."
"It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once..."

"Don't start a company unless it's an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it's not an obsession."



Special thanks to Mr. Cuban.  Next time I see you at Disneyland I will certainly say hi.

Banner Ads - Tips for Clicks

Banner Ad Design Tips for Clicks

I just posted a blog on our company site, I will be updating it more regularly as I get the time to share more information.  I've been so lucky to work with so many customers from all across the Globe and been able to help them from developing banner designs to building their entire business online.  It's a lot of work but pretty awesome.  The key is working with the right client and team combo.  We've all had disaster projects and after looking back many times it's the client, but then the client feels the same about the vendor...either way you look at it, it's the wrong match up.  Best way to deal with (both vendor and client) is like an athlete, short term memory and move on from it.  But the most important part is the learning experiences you take - that's what improves you the most.

Anyways I went way off topic there.  I was just thinking about a post I saw from Mike Monteiro.

Anyways, here's the post about Banner Ads, 2 tips for clicks:

Business Owners: Save Your Google Places Listings by February 21, 2014

According to Google, they are warning business owners that they have until February 21st, 2014 to save their Google Places listings.  They are making changes to their platform and all you have to do is log in your account and validate your information.   The 3 steps are as follows:

Hello,
Due to changes in Google Maps, we’d like to inform you that unless you review and confirm the information in your Google Places account, we will no longer be able to keep and show it to Google users after February 21, 2014.

If you wish to keep your listing active, follow these three easy steps:

1.        Log in to your Google Places account
2.        Review and update your information
3.        Click the “Submit” button

Sincerely,
The Google Places Team

By not taking these simple steps you will have to go through the entire claiming process again and probably lose and regain any reviews or updates you worked so hard to create.

The original post I read was on SEJ here: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-sending-warnings-business-owners-3-weeks-save-google-places-listing/89361/

Good luck and don't delay!
