Faith

Subject: Faith

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it." Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling. And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it. If you appreciate this message, please share. You may touch someones heart today and forever. Enjoy your week with a heart of gratitude... "Faith is not about everything turning out OK; Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Fame

but strive to be worthy of recognition.

Words

No man has a prosperity so high or firm, but that two or three words can dishearten it;

and there is no calamity which right words will not begin to redress.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)

Information overload

Human can't handle too much info.
Too much info does nothing in improving forecast; but increases confidence level.
With computers, more info does increase forecast accuracy.

Human should stick to approximation as we are good at it. Since we are estimating, just a few important inputs will do the job. And, rough data on the inputs will do.

Intelligent

If a rabbit defined intelligence the way man does, then the most intelligent animal would be a rabbit, followed by the animal most willing to obey the commands of a rabbit. 

- Robert Brault, writer (b. 1938)
