While skimming through my RSS feeds, I always grab bits and pieces that illustrates ideas that I don’t know how to express it and write it. Just like this one about creating a better experience and how to be innovative in any aspect of the world:

In 2007, a company named Pure Digital released the Flip Video camera. It has quickly become the best selling video camera on Amazon.com. It has captured 13% of the video camera market in just a few months.

How does a product from an unheard-of company come to challenge an industry dominated by established big players, such as Sony, Panasonic, and Canon? It’s simple. Create a better experience.

3. You’ve had a client that insisted on using the font “Papyrus,” and you had to hold in your barf as you prepped it [the design] for printing. Continue Reading

Someone asked Confucius, ‘what surprises you most about mankind?’
Conficius answered, ‘they lose their health to make money and then lose money to restore their health. By thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present,such that they live neither for the present nor the future and they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived…’

This was written by a guy … it’s pretty damn smart.

Girls — Please have a sense of humor!

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, ‘I don’t feel like it, I just want you to hold me.’

I’m not really sure who wrote this since I received it from a friend via email. I must say that it did make me stop and reflect on how we approach our own work with goals of trying to earn money online quickly.
Stop, read, pause and reflect – I hope you enjoy this:

It’s been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working

Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle http://www.blackle.com, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption. It was in response to the following:

“…If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views,
according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.”
