apparently the Japanese have the same word for "problem" as they do for "opportunity"..... [img alt=]http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/wink.gif[/img]

That reminds me......................

Many years ago at work (power station) I remember being told by our managers that we no longer have problems.  The word problem was negative and a word that we would no longer be using at the station. (I’m sitting there thinking 1984 and new-speak etc).  They were serious, anybody talking about problems was to be coached and reminded that we now only had opportunities.  We were to talk about opportunities and not problems.


A few months later I was sitting in the permit office one quiet night shift just chewing the fat with another worker.  The permit office was right next to the turbine hall.  Suddenly one the operators came crashing through the door, grabbed the phone and dialled the emergency number then screamed down the phone at the control room supervisor “We’ve got one great big mother fucking almighty opportunity – bearing 3 on turbine 7 has gone up in flames!”
