Rumour has it that top companies allow it's employees to choose the layout, contents and accessories of their own cubicles. So the cubicles in these offices will have mini basketball courts, hammocks, beach chairs and what have you depending on the individual quirks of their employees. All free as paid by the company.
The idea is to motivate the employees (or slaves?) to work more. In fact, morale is reputedly high in these places. But do these little things really matter?
In other words, the material surroundings are important in giving the proper motivation. To put it simply, it's in the carpeting. But it's not the carpeting or the cubicle layout that really matters but maybe the idea of giving employees the freedom to choose how their work area will look.
It's really the reflection of the company's soul and not the carpeting. Sounds like a good idea, no?

Eto, maganda tong topic na to... macha-challenge tayo, these are arguments that strongly opposes the existence of an absolute power, like an all-powerful, omniscience, omnipotent god. We're not referring to God ha, (take note of the small "g" in god). Just for the record, I believe in God... Just for the sake of discussion and critical thinking... =P
Let's just discuss how we can defend our beliefs from "filosopo tasyo".

from Abby
At about one month, the tiny embryonic kangaroo emerges from its mother's body and slowly climbs up her abdomen and into her pouch. Once inside the pouch, the newborn latches onto a teat(nipple) which swells inside its mouth. Newborn marsupials do not have the ability to suck. Muscular action from the teat squirts milk into the baby's mouth. Newborns are about the size of a Lima bean. A baby kangaroo spends 7-8 months living and growing inside its mother's pouch. The baby then becomes active outside the pouch, returning only to feed.
