THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS DESTINY

A woman went to a fortune teller to consult the future of her wealthy husband.  With a great degree of concern the psychic announced “Your husband will be found dead before the end of this week!”

Apparently unperturbed by the shocking news the wife then blurted out “Do you think I will get away with it?”

Now I will try to be a little controversial for writing this but I have always been uncomfortable at the thought that I completely have no control over my life; emphasis on the word completely.  The line that says all the world’s a stage and that we are merely actors makes me believe that I at least have time to rehearse right?

Draft Pick: BUYOLOGY By Martin Lindstrom

Do the warning signs of gangrened body parts and possible infertility really stop smokers from buying a cig?

That makes me think, does "Walang tawiran nakamamatay" really work?

Why do we really buy?

Martin Lindstrom introduces a new field called neuromarketing in determining what are the stimuli that makes us whip out that wallet.  What triggers those guilty pleasures?  Does the Coca Cola glass on stage with the American Idol judges really work?

For anyone in Marketing or Sales, this is a great read for you.

DRAFT PICK: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Was Bill Gates really a genius or was he born lucky?

What was the Beatles' biggest break as a band?

Why are Asian children better at math than the Western?

Are rich kids relatively smarter than poorer ones?

If you're recipe for success is purely determination and hardwork, think again. 

In this page turner by Malcolm Gladwell, he gathers documentary evidence that points out why the most successful people, from Bill Gates to the Beatles came to be.  He also creates a strong argument that success is heavily dependent not just on who you are, but t a certain extent where you're from.

Outliers is amazingly inexpensive at P285 but highly addictive.  It might change the way you think about success.

ARE YOU STUCK?

Do you feel that you are not getting anywhere near your dreams?  Do you feel things have been the same, the same tasks, same cubicle and coworkers for the longest time that you’re actually getting sick of it?
