Luck in Gambling

“If there was no luck involved then it wouldn’t be called gambling, It would be called “Lose all your money.”” – HDTRAN

Makes sense, Doesn’t it?

Social destinations will definitely be passe

Come to think of it..

Ari Balogh, speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, elaborated a bit on the idea. “We don’t think of social as a destination,” Mr. Balogh said. “We think of social as a dimension.”

I am not so sure if the current casual net usage habits will remain in the present form or format for very long, considering the certain paradigm shift and impact from rapid mobile device adoption, and the oncoming dominance Vs. Desktops and Laptops. Just the way in which people chucked land lines for wireless, the day when mobile devices completely replace the desktops may not be that far off .This will also undoubtedly change the way we consume and use the net in fundamental ways. This will resultantly lead to the emergence of a lot of new companies that will eventually challenge the current online biggies, globally, through innovation in core products and services we already use.

Why Remember?

“It’s probably one of the most frightening aspects of the changes we undergo as we age,” said Nancy Ceridwyn, director of educational initiatives at the American Society on Aging. “Our memories are who we are. And if we lose our memories we lose that groundedness of who we are.” <via>NY Times</via>

I think keeping a thorough journal log goes a long way in dealing with anxiety related to memory. If you don’t care who reads it, make it open and public – like in a blog.

Large, Yet Nimble?

We must avoid problems which befall large corporations, while we create and introduce technologies which large corporations cannot match.

This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.

Change…

Change involves carrying out an activity against the habit of life.

Meeting People is Easy:

If you have been rejected many times in your life, then one more
rejection isn’t going to make much difference. If you’re rejected,
don’t automatically assume it’s your fault. The other person may
have several reasons for not doing what you are asking her to do:
none of it may have anything to do with you. Perhaps the person
is busy or not feeling well or genuinely not interested in spending
time with you. Rejections are part of everyday life. Don’t let them
bother you. Keep reaching out to others. When you begin to
receive positive responses then you are on the right track. It’s all a
matter of numbers. Count the positive responses and forget about
the rejections.
