Quotable Qoutes*^*^*^*^*
Why is an extensive vocabulary such an important
asset?
Words are the building blocks of thought. They are
the means by which we understand the ideas of others
and express our own opinions. It is only logical then
that people who know how to use words concisely and
accurately find it easier to achieve their aims.

A young executive was leaving the office late one
evening when he found the CEO standing in front of
a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and
important document here, and my secretary has gone for the
night. Can you make this thing work for me?"
"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned
the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed
the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO, as his paper
disappeared inside the machine.
"I just need one copy..."
