    The Master Black belt was walking towards a meeting room, when he came across a BB Candidate, gazing intently at a Capability Six-Pack on his monitor
    “Candidate, what are you doing?”
    The BB Candidate responded, “I’m trying really hard to understand the very nature of the chart. -Why?”
    The Master held his notepad up like a mirror and began to polish it with his handkerchief.
    The BB Candidate asked the Master, “Why on earth are you polishing your notepad like a mirror, Don’t you know that no amount of Polishing can turn it into a….”  “Oh, I Understand now.”
    At which point, the Master closed the Minitab screen with out saving the chart and walked away…

    Heebee,
    I’d love to share this pearl with my management, but I need to know first: do you have any job openings?

    A BB asked Master BB `What is the path?’
    Master said: `Everyday life is the path.’
    The BB asked: `Can it be studied?’
    Master said: `If you try to study, you will be far away from it.’
    The BB asked: `If I do not study, how can I know it is the path?’
    Master said: `The path does not belong to the perception world, neither does it belong to the nonperception world. Cognition is a delusion and noncognition is senseless. If you want to reach the true path beyond doubt, place yourself in the same freedom as sky. You name it neither good nor not-good.’
    At these words the BB was enlightened.
    Master could have met BB’s frozen doubts at once when BB asked his questions. I doubt that if BB reached the point of that Master did. He needed thirty more years of study.

    The Master Black Belt was asked, “Do you have any openings?”
    The Master Black Belt Responded, “That’s funny, i was about to ask you the same thing!”
    Both Correspondants turned, heads bowed in saddness, walked out…

    The Master Black Belt was a fake person ,he couldn’t solve any problem,only talk and talk and pretend .Finally they discovered that and he was fired .Went to another client and start the talk ,and then he was appointed in a key position because he was very smart in “talking”,has appointed several GBs & BBs to perform the duties,then he wrote a famous book with the title:
    “How to fool companies by pretending that you are  a amart MBB”,afterward…….

    The black belt asked the master, “Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?”  The master answered, without hesitation, “I don’t know and I don’t care.”

    ZEN,
    You have discovered something more intractable than the 1.5 sigma shift.

    A Master Black Belt, Black Belt, Green Belt, and Machine operator walked into the bar in South Africa along the beach. Afer a few drinks the Machine Operator noticed a Giraff, a Lion, a Monkey, and Goat outside the window standing underneath a coconut tree. The machine operator said “Anyone want to take bets on which critter will get the banana?”
    The MBB quickly said “Giraff”
    The BB Quickly Said ” Lion”
    The GB looked at the Machine operator and Said “I’ll Take the Monkey”
    The Machine Operator just looked at the other guys and finished his drink.
