I like this

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below.

He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is,
technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or
where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact
is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

Choose wisely

I believe this world, this life is here for our own personal desires. We build this world as we want to see it through our eyes. We assume the capacity to control and manipulate events in our lives and others. We set our desires, our wishes and act accordingly. And for some reason we betray them, not willing to pay the price up front. This leads to unintended consequences that results in getting what you exactly wished for, but not in the way you had visioned, dreamed. And some times once you have what you wanted you realize it was an illusion all along; created by the mind to fulfill some desire or emotion. That desire turned into thoughts, thoughts turned to wishes, wished turned to subtle changes in behavior triggering a domino that set life in motion to deliver exactly what you wanted or so you thought. The world operates at a very subtle level, far beyond our awareness so be careful what you wish for...
