A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She 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 man 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 an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am", replied the man. "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 even more."
The man below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "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."

About Me
- Chase your passion not your pension
- I feel very strongly against terrorism and violation of human rights, acts of violence/exploitation against women and children should have the capital punishment,in my view, anywhere in the world. My approach is probably too direct, and mostly i am brutally straightforward and bluntly to the point in matters of expressing my feelings, people who can handle that find an invaluable friend in me. So what! im still a diehard hopeless romantic with faith & patience LOL My next 5year plan is to go backpacking around the world staring with europe, collecting friends and spreading smiles as i go.
