What I Learned Today
I was listening to a morning talk show and it was there that they asked the question - "What did you learn today?" that made me think - I should start a blog with such a question. The basic idea is to dot down what I learn each day, preferably everyday. But as usual, I am already 3 days behind :(
Before I go any further, here's what I thought I had learned when I heard the question:

Oscar '05
No, Sideways didn't win the Best Picture award :o( I didn't really believe it had a real shot, even a long shot, at winning. But the fact that it WAS nominated had sparked the tiniest of hope in me that maybe, just maybe, an Indy Film would win the coveted Academy Award.
But instead, Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby won it..

Facebook Acquires instagram for a Billion Dollar
First off, congrats to the "instagram" team. I have been using the app on my iPhone since October '11. As a matter of fact, instagram was one of the reasons I have been wanting to update / upgrade to the new iPhone 4S.
But I have to admit that this is causing me to pause and think. They have developed this app, this most awesome app with about a dozen employees in about a year and a half and has $0 in revenue - all of a sudden they are valued at $1B.

A careless word may kindle strife,
A cruel word may wreck a life,
A bitter word may hate instill;
A brutal word may smite and kill,
A gracious word may smooth the way,
A joyous word may light the day,
A timely word may lessen stress;
A loving word may make it best.

Just like you cannot be any less of those above. You are who & what you are. Actually, you are the sum of "who" and "what" you are. "You" are not any one "thing". There isn't any one adjective that does or could possibly define "you". So don't try to be anything but who you are.
But when you do see yourself trying to be something you are not already - ask yourself why you are doing it? Is it because you actually

On my morning drive I happened to catch just a few minutes of the Dudley and Bob Morning Show. They were talking about individuals needing "psychiatric help". The issues the were talking about (at least the ones that caught my attention) were:
- Dealing with the possibility of needing such help
- The taboo against
It was really interesting to hear such a topic even though listening to them felt a little distracting. Not to mention the fact that I had to quit (since I was already running a little late for a meeting).
