Lesson 10. One And Only You

Every single blade of grass,
And every flake of snow—
Is just a wee bit different ...
There’s no two alike, you know.
From something small, like grains of sand,
To each gigantic star
All were made with THIS in mind:


To be just what they are!
How foolish then, to imitate—
How useless to pretend!
Since each of us comes from a MIND
Whose ideas never end.
There’ll only be just ONE of ME
To show what I can do—
And you should likewise feel very proud,
There’s only ONE of YOU.
That is where it all starts
With you, a wonderful
unlimited human being

James T. Moore

Lesson 4. The Desiderata

Well today I want to share one of my favorite poems that  I came across while in High school but today I also stumbled upon it and it is a very inspiring poem that shows yo how to deal with life. I have made it one of my life principles to read it always and practice what it says. I do wish that we would practice what it says and things will change for the better. The poem is called Desiderata and it was written by an American author    Max Ehrmann  in 1927 . The poem has deeply shaped some of the great people we know, Morgan Freeman the popular American actor once said that the poem has remarkable shaped his life,   US Democratic presidential hopeful  Adlai Stevenson  died in 1965 having the poem by his bedside, and finally me too this poem has a great influence in the way I carry myself everyday. May it bring you hope and inspiration as it has brought to me. Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there...

Lesson 44. Alibaba

I have just finished reading Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built by Duncan Clark. This is a brilliant book in the way the author presents the journey of Alibaba from Jack's small apartment to a billion dollar company, many of us have heard of Alibaba recently during the IPO but this book reminds us that success is as a result of hard work, perseverance, sacrifices and most of all loving what you are doing or  learning to do.  We see the influence that Jack Ma has established to move the company forward with the Jack Magic effect, something similar to Steve Jobs reality distortion field effect. One thing that I really loved was the clear outline of the growth of internet companies in mainland China, and a key lesson can be learned on how big tech companies in China have been able to replicate similar services and technology offerings of major players in the industry  by tailoring this to Chinese market, eg Google- Baidu eBay- Eachnet Amazon-JD.com/Alibaba ...
