Quoting @WARRENBUFFET on his "unqualified optimism"

Warren buffett wrote a cute little essay which you can read in its entirety here
http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/02/leadership/warren-buffett-women.pr.fortune/

I kinda liked this essay and thus as is customary to my blogs,I shall
QUOTE my favorite bits from warren buffett's essay.
here goes
QUOTE
"It has to do with America's future, about which -- here's a familiar
opinion from me -- I'm an unqualified optimist. Now entertain another
opinion of mine: Women are a major reason we will do so well"

"Despite the inspiring "all men are created equal" assertion in the
Declaration of Independence, male supremacy quickly became enshrined
in the Constitution. In Article II, dealing with the presidency, the
39 delegates who signed the document -- all men, naturally --
repeatedly used male pronouns. In poker, they call that a "tell."

"My parents would love us equally, and our teachers would give us
similar grades. But at every turn my sisters would be told -- more
through signals than words -- that success for them would be "marrying
well." I was meanwhile hearing that the world's opportunities were
there for me to seize"

"But her self-doubt remained, a testament to how deeply a message of
unworthiness can be implanted in even a brilliant mind. "

"The closer that America comes to fully employing the talents of all
its citizens, the greater its output of goods and services will be.
We've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human
capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an
unbridled optimist about America's future"

About being a BLOGOHOLIC-And registering the sad demise of google reader.Yahoo 360 and buying out tumblr,my thoughts!

Well,
Very recently I had to make my blogs private.(due to a myriad of
reason).yet,Hoping to make them "public blogs" again soon.

I write six different blogs under the name of LECINQBLOG.Each blog
deals with a particular area of
discussion.-art,food,politics,environment,psychiatry.
It started off as a set of FIVE BLOGS and thus I named my GOOGLE ID as
LECINQBLOG...as in , THE FIVE BLOGS.
Then,very recently I added a sixth one to archive my tweets .
So,now,my LECINQBLOG series has six blogs.:))

I have been blogging since 1998..and thus, I have been blogging for
MORE THAN A DECADE now..AND thorougly enjoyed every minute of it.
I HAVE DELIBERATELY kept my blogs ads free-because sometimes BLOGS
have to be JUST ABOUT THE IDEAS and not about the money.

If i try to monetize my blogs, I will soon end up writing only stuff
which the analytics tell me is bringing in the readers.THAT WOULD
totally ruin the WRITER IN ME.

So,NO MONEY,just thoughts for now.
( I am all open to book publishers offering me book deals thought,but
then,they have to agree to my side of the contract too)

So,about how i shifted from actual books to books and blogs and now
finally, ONLY BLOGS(for most part)

Even since I adopted a NOMADIC lifestyle,I SERIOUSLY understood the
concept of HOW MUCH ACTUAL PAPER BOOKS weigh and how impossible it is
for a person like me to lug around MY WHOLE BOOK collection wherever i
go.

Before the eletronic books era,I used to buy PAPER BOOKS-(I STILL BUY
THEM EVEN NOW-especially the old,out-of-print ones which will never
ever be an electronic book ever)

So,in the sole few years of my med school-I possibly bought tons of
HEAVY LARGE MEDICAL BOOKS AND in addition to study material ,I also
bought TONS OF non-study books during that same period.
I also had books from PRIOR to med school.(have been a reader since as
long as I can remember myself in childhood)

super voracious reader,Thus,ending with THOUSANDS of books-paper books.

And ALL OF THEM were very thoughtful purchases and CANNOT be disposed off.
and all of them were PHYSICALLY HEAVY,so,I couldn't carry them along
with me during my travels.
Airlines have baggage weight limitations,you see!

THAT IS WHEN I figured that I must FIND A SUBSTITUTE TO PAPER BOOKS,
to satisfy my ever growing hunger to READ AND LEARN..

I am a compulsive AND voracious reader.
I am also a naturally original,compulsive,profuse writer.

BLOGS suited my purpose .
BLOGS AND BLOG COMMUNITIES are all about information sharing.
Each blog is a book-Only,more authentic,because it doesn't go through
the gruelling cuts of the editing table at the publishers.

I LOVE BLOGS.
I LOVE WRITING THEM.
I LOVE READING THEM TOO.
So,no matter where i travel,I can land there and open up my computer
and access my favorite blogs..YAY....
And my favorite blogs range in the THOUSANDS..yes,thousands..
So,the google reader was the easiest,non-frilly way to aggregate and
read blogs without needing to physically type out urls and visiting
individual pages filled with glittery,blinking blogheads and
pictures...
To me,what matters most is the TYPED OUT WORDS..so,i could do WITHOUT
ALL THE BLING that an actual website offers..

GOOGLE READER WORKED PERFECT FOR ME
And now google reader is going to close down in july 2013..A sad day indeed

In this context,let me tell you a tiny YAHOO story to demonstrate BAD
BUSINESS DECISIONS BY internet companies-internet giants.

Way back in 2007,Yahoo did the BIGGEST MISTAKE of closing down their
beautiful blogger community called YAHOO 360...
Way back in 2005,YAHOO was who pioneered the idea of BLOGGING and
blogging communities...in the form of 360...It integrated their old
YAHOO geocities idea with the community social media factor and
PRODUCED A PREMIUM PRODUCT called YAHOO 360...
IT WAS FANTASTIC
and then some idiot at yahoo MADE SOME WRONG ANALYSIS and decided that
such a blogging community is not feasible or viable.(money wise?)
BIG MISTAKE...
They closed it down around july of 2007 and all the
smart,thinking,writing,reading bloggers scattered around...SPILLED
OVER to other sites which then offered them an alternative to YAHOO
360...GOOGLE BLOGGER was one of those alternatives
At this given point of time,I don't even have a WORKING YAHOO EMAIL...
The 360 experience was SO SOUR for me that I KINDA BACKED OUT OF
EVERYTHING YAHOO.

now, six years down the line..YAHOO IS BACK to being interested in the
BLOGGING MARKET...and now bought out TUMBLR-for a little over a
billion..
That my dear friends is CALLED EATING YOUR OWN SHOE..
seriously

YAHOO was the pioneer in blogging and had a premium well oiled
machinery working for them AND THEN ,they did the stupid thing of
doing away with it..
Then six years down the line,they realize what stupids they are.
STUPIDS
Now,shell out a billion for buying your own idea..SURE..how smart and
business savvy.

Why am i telling you this story?
well,FOR ONE,yahoo lost its place of INTERNET LEADER to
google,BECAUSE OF SUCH,stupid decisions.

It is around this same time of yahoo 360 closing down,that WE ALL SAW
google ascend RAPIDLY in popularity ...
WE HAD BLOGGER..We all had to go somewhere,,some of us came to
blogger.including me.

HONESTLY? blogger was no comparison to YAHOO 360
And yeah,TUMBLR sucks ass, IN TERMS, of this concept called
RE-BLOGGING,which essentially faciliatates EASY partial plagiarism..
things get so easily re-blogged that finally,PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
REMEMBER WHO WROTE IT ORIGINALLY..and
i hate NOT GETTING CREDIT....AND i would hate it ,if something i wrote
got reblogged so much that finally,someone sends it over to me to take
a look,coz amidst all that reblogging no one is even paying attention
to who originally wrote it!!!
gosh

So,yeah..Why did I tell the yahoo story?
coz,google now,,is doing a similar mistake...
it is closing down GOOGLE READER IN JULY 2013..
Biggest mistake ever..MOST STUPID MISTAKE..
seriously, stupid mistake..
I WILL BET MY MONEY that years down the line..GOOGLE WILL BE BUYING
OUT ANOTHER reader application ...and paying billions for it!
fucking idiots..

ALL THESE INTERNET COMPANIES NEED TO REALIZE
that
blogging and blog reading is where ALL THE BRAIN POWER LIES...
THE THINKERS,
THE WRITERS,
THE READERS,
THE CONSUMERS,
THE THINKING COMMUNITIES

The GOOGLE READER consumers were google's best bet at accumulating
THINKING CONSUMERS.

SERIOUSLY,big mistake.
Dear google,
if your business team thinks that google reader is NOT FINANCIALLY a
sound idea..WELL,they are wrong and YOU OUGHT TO FIRE THEM NOW..
because
if you don't,
six years down the line,
you will be buying out another reader application shelling out billions..
there ya go,i said it..
(BOWS TO CROWD)
SO,
SO.SO,

SO,This tiny blog entry,which i type out in an effort to empty my thoughts is
AN ODE MY BLOGOHOLIC NATURE...:)))
(none of my blogs are pre-edited..I think, then quickly type out and
QUICKLY, just post-AU NATURALE,SUPER FRESH,straight from my mind to
the blog)

MY PRINCIPLES IN LIFE

This is june 2013.
and I just wanted to make a quick record of my LIFE'S PRINCIPLES..
so that years later,I can look back and check on it to see if i Made
ANY PROGRESS in upkeeping these life-principles.

THESE ARE MY LIFE'S PRINCIPLES

a/Science-
Having a scientific temper,approaching everything in life with a
scientific approach is of prime importance to me..

b/Education-
Education is the only way to enlightenment and intellectual
enlightenment is the only way to true happiness(A true daughter of the
LEONARDO DA VINCI school of life?)

c/kindness-
unconditional kindness is the only way to move forward as a
society.Helping someone without an expectation of some kind of RETURN
FAVOR is the only way to let go of petty calculative self-absorbedness
and only then will TRUE bliss arrive in our hearts

d/love-
Experiencing and giving out true love is one of life's important
TRUTHS..An undeniable truth..We all need to be able to LET GO of our
flaws to be able to TRULY LOVE ...and with true love comes true
happiness

e/EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS
All of us are BORN EQUAL and it is only with EQUAL RIGHTS will all of
us become EQUAL ADULTS
schematic cunning social practices which STEAL away OUR EQUAL RIGHTS
only makes up for a flawed society and a flawed society is
non-PRODUCTIVE.

f/Self-regulation
With self regulation comes responsibility and justice and EQUITY in society.

That is it..
short,sweet and all ENCOMPASSING PRINCIPLES OF LIFE.
