NVA (non-value added) reply of the day

now, i'm not a big fan of going to briefings

and a huge reason for that is the Q&A sessions,
which, quite frankly, leaves you with
far more questions than answers
because of the super vague answers you always get

for example, say your question is;

"...hello, excuse me! i am from the equipment dept.
we have a problem. what can we do to solve it?..."

then, 99% of the time, you'll get a reply like this;

"...problems are a fact of life. we need to be capable
enough to address these issues. and don't worry,
if we don't have the expertise, we can always
get the expertise from our partners and vendors

we are always open to ideas and new technology.
that's why it is so important for us to think outside the box.
see that box over there? yes, think outside of it

a problem is never a problem until we view it as one.
problems are usually a state of mind.
which is why it's important to read motivational books

i have been around for a long time,
and based on all my years of experience,
solving problems is a great challenge,
a vessel of opportunity to move forward

and that's what we'll do!
work together, synergize our capabilities,
and achieve our common goal and targets!
we can do it! yes we can!..."
