How do we make decisions?

My kid used to play golf in grade school. And he was good.

Lately he has taken into soccer and basketball both of which he may never excel. But all his friends are into it and he enjoys being with his friends.

The fortunate person is one who enjoys in what he excels.

But when we are not so fortunate how do we make decisions? Do we go things that we have a chance to excel or simply indulge in what we like ?

We can guess but never know for sure what skills or jobs will be needed or available in 10 years

Determining which industries aren’t long for this world may seem easy enough. But some types of businesses, such as telemarketing, are surprisingly hard to kill. And then again, other industries, probably the ones you’re sad to see go, can’t find a way to survive.

The debate over whether the copy is there purely to fill the space between the ads has been raging in print publishing for years. Internet publishing has taken this to a new level.

I have always noted that one of the best exercises was supposedly brisk walking. Walk faster to encourage your heart beat to exercise your coronary muscles.

Apparently studies shows that we are leading frenzied lives. A study of 32 countries show that people in general are walking at least 10 percent faster compared to 15 years ago and most countries whose population walked faster also have higher rates of coronary disease.

However, I do believe that there is a difference.  Walk faster to get a better heart workout.  But if you are walking faster, and you are stressed and because you are in a rush, yes, that is not healthy at all!  

I discovered that other than letting you read my thinking, I decided to share with you tech/biz updates that I read and tag.  The other way to increase the value of the blog is to enable Guest Posting.

This is consistent with the realization that other people may have even better ideas to share.

If you have like minded interests, and have something to share with readers that are consistent with the themes we set here, pls. do write me here!

Another good share from my mailbox today.

Beauty of Math!  Got this in my inbox, and thought it would be amusing to share.

Brilliant, isn’t it?

I have had recent friends who took up photography, and one of them was my brother in law who is a doctor.  He travels to various countries regularly, and he has a good eye for details, as well as the talent for great prose.  In three months, 12 of his pictures received special feature citations. 

It is seldom that you see picture slides that not only pleases the senses, but also challenges the mind.  Check out Gerry Tan’s picture collection.

I recently started to probe around Facebook, and for so many days, I did not quite know what to do …. and made only a handful of friends.

Then my brother taught me how I could , in one stroke, upload the email addresses in my contact list, and it would automatically send invitations to those that are also registered in Facebook.

In a few hours, I have dozen of friends.

It occured to me that I was using an obscure email address ( I was afraid I would be spammed) to register.  That being said, I would probably not be visible to my friends.

If you want your friends to see you ( they probably use Facebook to automatically look at their contact list), then use your official email!
