Current World Financial Situation

Anekdot ini dari teman...



If you have difficulty understanding the current world financial situation, the following should help...



Once upon a time in a village in India , a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.

The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: 'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50.'

The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere! Welcome to WALL STREET!

3 Solusi bagi Indonesia

Saya sudah bosan dengan tingkah pejabat negeri ini. Sebagian besar hanya memikirkan perutnya masing-2 yang sudah buncit itu untuk menambah buncit lagi.
Waktu lebaran kemarin, saya berbincang-bincang dengan keluarga, termasuk membahas tentang kondisi Indonesia.
Untuk mengatasi kebobrokan moral pejabat Indonesia dan mensejahterakan rakyat ada tiga solusi.
1. Mengganti semua pejabat dari lurah hingga presiden dengan orang baru yang fresh belum pernah terjun di politik ato pemerintahan, bisa kalangan akademisi, mahasiswa baru lulus ato freshman lainnya, istilahnya bedol desa negeri Indonesia. (susah tapi mungkin)
2. Mendatangkan malaikat pencabut nyawa untuk menjadi presiden. jika pejabat ada yang korupsi, langsung dicabut nyawanya (mungkinkah??)
3. pelan-pelan diperbaiki moral pejabat dan pembangunan Indonesia secara bertahap berkembang baik (yang sedang berjalan saat ini, status quo)

Just think...
