Once there was love so pure and True

The words on this page
Started drinking to drown my sorrows
I gave it up when trouble learned to swim

Rat on a rusty wheel

U P W

She came to me late one night
As a damsel in distress
I'm always the type to lend a helping hand
I surely will confess
I spotted her near the bottom of my driveway
Hiding behind my crumbling stone wall
I wasn't sure if she was okay
So to her I softly called
Because of the bag she held
I noticed that her small hands trembled
Because of the confusion in her eyes
I noticed that an infant child she resembled

Stream

underemphasized, your marketing team may choose to forgo some short-term profits while building the division for future higher payoffs. (However, don't forget the simulation does have a specified period of time to run.) Teams should not manage the firm only for the short term and "end play" the simulation to maximize profits at the end of play. This would not be operating the division in the best interest of the parent firm and the stockholders. In other words, at the end of the simulation, the parent firm (represented by your instructor), will be expecting to evaluate a "healthy, going concern." Other important objectives that the instructor (or teams) may want to establish include:

1. Implementation of marketing strategies that capture a maximum (or optimum) market share.
2. Management of operations in a cost-effective manner.
3. Observation of good business ethics and standards that will increase the value of corporate goodwill.
4. Maintenance of reasonable inventories.
5. Accumulation of knowledge about certain marketing mix relationships through experimentation and good market research practices.

Transforming Your Group into a Team

There is a big difference between a group and a team. A group is a cluster of people whereas a team is a group that has been organized to get a job done. For a group to become a team, the members must have a high degree of trust, mutual respect for ideas, open communication, equal participation, and constructive confrontational skills. As you might imagine, a team does not automatically form from a group - it takes a lot of hard work on the part of the group members and they have to WANT to succeed as a team.

This process is not easy. The dynamics of a group becoming a team include four phases:
1. Forming - awareness and acceptance of others
2. Storming - conflict concerning leadership and style of decision making
3. Norming - cooperation results from involvement and support
4. Performing - achievement of the desired productivity

In order for your team to be successful in the simulation, you need to build a high degree of trust and cooperation. It will be good practice since many firms are becoming more participative in management style. Since it is unfair for any team member to not do his or her fair share, and it is unfair for any team member to monopolize the decision making, the manual has peer evaluation forms in it, and your instructor will likely ask you to evaluate each team member.

The words on this page
When you're feelin' confused and you gotta get away,
Just remember me and the words I'm gonna say.
Things'll get better but they might get worse,
Just be happy that you're not in a hurst,
You'll never know when the tides gonna change,
You'll never know when your life'll rearange
Take a cold shower when you cant stand the heat,
Play with your drums if you wanna find the beat,
When you can't find your way know it gets dark at night,
You can't win a battle if you don't put up a fight,

"I can't take it!
I'm not gonna make it!
You thought I tried but I faked it!"

When your weak I'll make you strong,
When you're sad I'll sing a [smeared/crossed out word] song,
When you cry i'll dry your tears,
When your afraid i'll quiet your fears.

I got work to do but i'll put it off again,
How can i be trapped in a room with many doors,
Maybe If i just picked myself up off the floor.
Can't open the window must be locked from outside,
In my empty room there is no place to hide.
On a shattered pane is a painted pretty scene,
Though it seems sorta dull, my deepest, darkest fears,
They finally came true, my deepest, darkest fears,
i've been locked in here for so many, many years.
I often here people laughing and people crying too,
They don't know i'm in here, haven't got a clue.
I scream out loud and bang on the door,
Tap on the window and stomp on the floor.
It'll probably go on like this till the day I die,
They never seem to here me, please tell me why.

I finally put a name to a face
And such a beautiful face it was

That not many lately have rose above
I've finally found someone worth talking to

The words on this page
You speak of eight, multiple intelligences
Where I'm from you're lucky to even find two
But this is not my system it's the way I found it
What do you expect just one man to do?
We're not taught to change the system
We're only taught to obey
Never a lesson on how to start a revolution
Only lessons on the price we'll pay
The students in class have been rearranged
But the teachers are still shackled to the same old chain
Told to teach what history has taught
Though history repeats itself and the more
things change the more they remain the same
Racism segregation
Prostitution Revolution
Old solutions revolutions

Fly high as a gull
While you swim like a fish
Now your life isn't dull
Did you get your wish
Be careful what you seek
Just might come true
Hope your luck is weak
For it could be yon
I'll fight sobriety
Crack'em in the jaw
Lose every ounce of dignity
As well as breaking the law

And this is the life I have to live
I found my guide but then I lost my way
One I held love inside my hands
But I let it slip away
The white dove has flown away

Something there was going on
But you missed it by a mile
I was there with a buddy of mine
And all we did was smile

Didn't need to worry
About impressing any fools
Didn't go looking for nothing
So we didn't have to keep our cool

My buddy got shut off by the owner
And he only had two beers
I even argued that he was Twenty nine
And that he was wise beyond his years

I danced with a thirty five year old
Who french kissed me on the floor
I ended up slipping her my number
But only god knows what's in store

Someone said Wasabi
And everybody bowed
We went to a bar
Where almost anything's allowed

Corona's at the beach with no women
at my side
Must be that time again to take
a deep look inside
A slice of lime to kill my time
A station flip as I take a sip
Problems must be uncovered
Before yourself is discovered
Time to sweep in the corners of
your mind
You can never be sure of what
you'll find
Maybe long lost dreams not as distant

THE END OF TIME
Your eyes are so beautiful
that I can't begin to say
your eyes are so beautiful
that they take me away

To somewhere I can only be when I'm
seeing your face
And as I look around I think what a
wonderful place
When away from you I am only a
part of a whole
Yet when we're together I feel
both my heart and soul

If eyes are really windows
To the inside of someone's mind
Then what I see I believe tells me
I won't leave until the end of time

I must be strong, I'll see her next week,
I'll get along, but my interest will peak.
I felt a new feeling as she spoke
If I could buy her with money I know I'd be broke.
There's something about her, I can't really tell,
She must be a witch 'cause I'm caught in her spell.
my love is long lost but I may have just fell,
If she is the dark side Then burn me in hell.
I know the Devil could never have Angels in her eyes,
But life can be funny and full of suprise.
What can be inside this magical girl?
The sun or the stars or even the world.
Captivation is my motivation

Painters in red

You only see darkness
When they leave you half-dead

With a pot of gold

Well I just turned another corner

Everyone's got something they want to sell me
I only want what's mine
Something with a cost
That few would ever pay
They just keep on searching
Hoping they'll find it someday
No, No I never get no rest
No, No I never settle for second best
It is all or nothing
And so far zero
One for the villain
None for the hero

Even Superman gets tired
Now he rides his horse
I'm setting out for my journey
Right now I'm just plotting my course
Not moving from East to west
Ain't no cheating on this here test
I've given up goin' from town to town
Doing my best not to go from up to down

The invisible gap between our fathers
After seems like Grand Canyon long
But what is the real reason that
It is Because of these men we are born
Why do they seem so far away?
For as long as we live
Divided like Night and day
No one's ever crossed the bridge
What the eye sees will change
Perspectives never meet
One sees long range One measures in miles long
one sees while the other only by feet
Is the way too narrow
Or the distance too high
That so few have ever tried
to get across while so much is lost
Not Knowing of the other side

She falls in and out of love
About every other day
It's good and then it's bad
But what you've never had
Can never fade away

On the very tip of your toes
Starting to lose all feeling
Ever wonder where it goes?
Figured it wasn't even worth stealing
But you find your guess incorrect
Looking around and everyone you suspect
Just who would have the will to maim?
To take something lost with out even a gain
A desperate act with no motivation
Like taking food from a sufferer of starvation

Even a birthday hat
Yet I have yet to make a wish

And upon it my favorite team
As well as a straw hat
Reminding me of a pretty nature scene

A stocking hat upon my ears
Though Strange not upon my feet
Of course I own a narrow blue visor
Which exposes my scalp to warm summer's heat

But since meeting you I have traded all my coverings
Varying in all shapes and sizes
I now wear Always an invitable crown of happiness
And each coming day its height rises

Open your heart again let me back inside,
Told my self I was better off without you, now
I know I lied,
When you left my better half died.
Even though I'm a man I'll swallow my pride,
When you lay down the law I'll promise to abide.

I'll admit I wasn't right, & had my priorities
confused,
You're not the only one who hurts, we've both been
abused.

I threw a pie at bill gates during the convention,
whip cream on the face, cherry off the head was my intention
But I missed and hit the Queen
Then she started getting mean
I, the joker, remained unseen
Therefore my hands were clean
I felt a hand grasping upon my shoulder
My brow began to sweat, temperature getting colder
Either an officer or a gentleman

Surely someone, sometwo is out there somewhere
Take time for one of us if you truly care
But please never, never expect the best
For deep down inside our nature we're just
like the rest

Because each day we're learning
That waiting never pays
It's so hard to get a sun tan
Without any of the sun's rays

Just Two of a kind
Waiting for two pair
We've never won at poker
But we know you're there somewhere

Biding time by praying for the day
When you'll reveal your selves
Hoping the sea's never so rough
That we have to swim it
ourselves

The summer's here that means blue skies
and sunshine
Happy children less work and more playtime
The summer's here warmer weather and more vacations
Back yard barbey Ques three day weekend celebrations
The summer's here
