Question: What is the true definition of Globalisation?

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How?

Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a
French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a
Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you
change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese
motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an Malaysian, using Bill Gates' American
technology , and you're probably reading this on your computer, that
uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi
workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Maori wharfies, and trucked to you
by Vietnamese illegals.....

That, my friends, is Globalisation!!

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would
paint the best picture of Peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at
all the
pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to
choose
between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for
peaceful
towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy
white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect
picture
of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare.
Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning
played.
Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not
look
peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny
Bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built
her
nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother
bird on her nest in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second
picture. Do you know why?

"Because," explained the king, "Peace does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in
the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is
the real
meaning of peace."
