Art of visualizing!

      Imagine you are the Steve Jobs in your company. What would your next innovative idea be? How would you implement it? Write to me on this.        Let me imagine myself the same too and below snippet comes with that preset mind. Relax your body and mind with deep breaths for atleast 5 mins. Close your eyes and imagine a large TV Screen. Put these steps on the TV screen with you as the main actor. Try to put in as much details as possible.

Stage set for next war!

       "War is coming", no, am not referring to the Game of Thrones ad here. But the real war is going to come. Lest we should be prepared. This one is for sure not between countries nor between regions but it will come. I suspect this war would be to show how unbalanced our the economic situation is. I Hope it ends and will not lead to our extinct.        The world today as we see is growing to become more in-equal w.r.t income we earn. As of today, the richest 3 Americans are equivalent to 50% of the bottom in terms of money. Is it fair? The richest 1% of the global population received 82% of  wealth  created in 2017, while nothing went to the  poorest half  (3.7 billion) of humanity, according to a  new study  by the global charity Oxfam.          Don't you see the stage being set for the hunger vs wealthy? The pace at which the rich are accumulating the wealth is the real worry. Not ...

     Adam Smith was a  popular economist whom most of you would have heard of. His famous book 'The wealth of nations' (1776) is a renowned on how nations can build wealth (mercantilism), what government can help nations build wealth thru free market economy. I believe his ideas are even today implemented by corporate to create wealth and by Governments to implement policies to make a economy free-market based. But little did all of us knew that this method of creating wealth only had an adverse impact on our natural resources. Photo courtesy - Internet      Few of us knew his book 'Theory of Moral Sentiments' (1759) was more apt to sustain the natural resources...in short doing business morally rather than keeping wealth as the primary motive. If only this theory had popularized over the principles dictated in Wealth of nations. I personally believe in the next decade, we will see this change happening across the organisations, Governments and S...
