I would like to have any cleanliness related things, paintings, articles, poems , that inspires us to keep our surroundings clean, this not for school children, and i don't want quotes, as I have enough. The theme is cleanliness, but for elders, that too staff of the networking technology company. You can tell me some humourous things too. I need some stuff like any Director punished the staff for keeping things clutter, or any IT industry's CEO emphsising on the cleanliness of our surroundings , office etc.

This poem came from Roy Jacobstein, a public health physician on the faculty of the UNC School of Public Health in Chapel Hill. It first appeared in "The Gettysburg Review," and he hopes it will be included in his next book of poetry, "Fuchsia in Cambodia."

How to Thrive in the Office Cube



Make peace

with the space

you're dealt, be

a beacon of equanimity

and competence,





set out

the photographs

of Dad, the dog,





the day

you sailed

the blue bay.





With respect

to your voice, don't

lower it





more than two octaves,

though it will

behoove you





to call

your new lover

from a private phone.





And instead,

should he

call you, say

"Mon ange,

your eyes are

the glowing coals





in the blast furnace

that is my heart,"

you must respond





coolly

with "Yes,

Steve, the report





is coming along fine

and will be available

for your perusal





by COB today."

Such dispassion

has useful spill-





over: the dry cleaner

will give you the discount

even though you forgot





the coupon.

The mechanic notorious

for gouging





his customers

will fear you

know something





and not overcharge.

Your landlord will promptly

repair the heat pump.





And your lover,

who may

or may not be





Steve, will take

your demeanor for

the deep still ardor





he has been meant

to unlock all his life,

beginning with dinner





at the little

Turkish place

where he will order





meze and raku

and ask you

"Are you always

this cool?"





This poem is from Judith Durnbaugh, a retiree who lives in Holly Springs. Durnbaugh, 68, said she was inspired by a former co-worker in Florida who was always sad that he never got to do what he wanted as a career. He always ate apples and watched the clock, she says.



Study of a man working



He says hello quietly,

Takes a quick look at his watch,

Aware that time is passing him by ...

Then he shrugs his frail shoulders --

Sighing a soft sigh --

Shuffles to a far corner and

Dutifully sits down at his desk.





Beginning the day, in his perfunctory way,

Any enthusiasm quickly waning away --

He works in a mechanical dream --

As he watches his watch

After a phone call or two --

Just before noon --

And shortly afterwards too.





Tediously he works

Through the long afternoon,

Same of voice, tone, and sound --

Going around on a Sampson's treadmill,

Feeling the gap,

A hollow unfulfilled man

Lost in the trap ...





Not quite retired, too much life in him yet,

But still searching within the humdrum

For something he never did get ...





Sometimes he eats apples,

Sometimes he drinks tea,

And sometimes he takes the time

To even speak to me ...

But always he watches his watch

For it tells him what to do

Like now --

As he places his pencils neatly away ...





Rocking slowly on his heels,

He stands by the door --

A far away look in his eyes,

Anxious to leave,

And go home to rest ...

Feeling this failure,

That he's not done his best.

while interviewing clarify to them that that could be a suggestions destroying activity the place you are able to take a seat all day phoning people non end and get nowhere. that's the form of activity you relatively like or hate, there is nowhere in between. The activity is a numbers activity, the greater people you telephone the greater probability you have of having somebody to assert confident. practice them for a lot of verbal abuse, make certain they have a noisy voice and outgoing character, be friendly in any respect circumstances on an identical time as on the telephone. make certain they talk English.
