What Steve Jobs taught us about failure College dropout. Fired tech executive. Unsuccessful businessman. Steve Jobs will always be best known for his incredible success in guiding Apple Inc. and transforming the entire consumer computer and phone industry. But he’ll also be remembered fondly as the poster child for how making mistakes — and even failing — can sometimes end up being the best thing that ever happens to you. Jobs passed away Wednesday after suffering for years from health problems, likely stemming from a battle with cancer. His death came after he was forced to step down from his position as chief executive of Apple because of the ongoing health problems. By the time he turned the reins of the company over to his second in command, Tim Cook, Jobs had become one of the business world’s greatest comeback kids. The company he founded, was fired from, and then returned to has gone from also-ran to technology industry leader. Apple also is now one of the most valuable companies in America by market capitalization.
Ashram Etymology[edit] The word ashram also spelled ashrama comes from the Sanskrit root srama which means giving the meaning of making an effort, towards liberation (moksha), which is the central aim of life in Hinduism. [4] Overview[edit] An ashram would traditionally, but not necessarily in contemporary times, be located far from human habitation, in forests or mountainous regions, amidst refreshing natural surroundings conducive to spiritual instruction and meditation. The residents of an ashram regularly performed spiritual and physical exercises, such as the various forms of Yoga. Other sacrifices and penances, such as Yajnas were also performed. Ashrams have been a powerful symbol throughout Hindu history and theology. History[edit] In recent history, one of earliest extant ashram, Kailash Ashram was established by Dhanraj Giri in 1880 at Rishikesh, this was followed by Sivananda Ashram of Swami Sivananda established in 1936.

Mark Twain Gives Nine Tips for Living an Extraordinary Life by Henrik Edberg Is truth stranger than fiction? Perhaps. In this great article written by Henrik Edberg, we find that Mark Twain had expressed in his writings over the years an entire philosophy for living. “Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” “When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.” You may know Mark Twain for some of his very popular books like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Twain is known for his many – and often funny – quotes. 1. “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” If you don’t approve of yourself, of your behaviour and actions then you’ll probably walk around most of the day with a sort of uncomfortable feeling.

Or if you make some headway in the direction you want to go you may start to sabotage for yourself.

Welcome to the 419 Eater TITLE: Busted! SCAMMER NAME: Ony Obo SCAMMER LOCATION: Lagos, Nigeria SCAMBAITER: Shiver Metimbers For a slight change, we have a scammer trying to ply his trade via a different routine. This time it's a repentant dying man, wanting to distribute his millions to charity. We've had carvings and artwork from scammers on quite a few occasions now, and I think it's time to move on to other ways to cause misery for these thieves, so for my final attempt at getting artwork out of a scammer I'll try for something a little different. It all starts way back near the end of July 2006... From: Ony Obo To: Brian Anthony Date: July 23rd 2006 Subject: HELP ME TO SPREAD GOODNESS Hello my friend, Hope this day finds you well?

5 Reasons StumbleUpon is by Far the Coolest Social Site This is a bit off topic for this blog so I’ll keep it short and sweet.

ENFP Profile Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving by Marina Margaret Heiss Profile: ENFP Revision: 4.0 Date of Revision: 28 Feb 2011 [The following comes partially from the archetype, but mostly from my own dealings with ENFPs.] ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of a cosmic whole. They want to both help and to be liked and admired by other people, on both an individual and a humanitarian level. This is rarely a problem for the ENFP, as they are outgoing and warm, and genuinely like people. ENFPs often have strong, if sometimes surprising, values and viewpoints. ENFPs can be the warmest, kindest, and most sympathetic of mates; affectionate, demonstrative, and spontaneous. For some ENFPs, relationships can be seriously tested by their short attention spans and emotional needs. In the workplace, ENFPs are pleasant and friendly, and interact in a positive and creative manner with both their co-workers and the public. by Joe Butt Famous ENFPs: Dr.
8 Ways to be UBER Charismatic What did JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Hitler all have in common? They were all renowned charismatics that lit up every room they entered. You’ve most likely met one of these kinds before. Robert Greene studied these people and detailed the methods one can use to become a charismatic in his book “The Art of Seduction.” Purpose Pick a cause, a goal, a vision and live it. Mystery Become mysterious (like Bruce Wayne) by being unpredictable. Saintliness Think Gandhi. Eloquence Speak slowly and hypnotically, with random pauses if needed. Theatricality Be larger than life. Danger/Spontaneity Radiate dangerous, rebellious sexuality. Vulnerability Have a soft side and love your followers. Magnetism Develop a piercing gaze. DO NOT COMMENT.
Steve Jobs: His Legacy of Deals Bloomberg News Apple said Wednesday that Steve Jobs, the technology pioneer who revived the company’s fortunes, died at the age of 56. Be sure to read The Wall Street Journal obituary for Jobs. Jobs famously transformed Apple through the creation of new technologies and gadgets that people embraced, and that altered the worlds of computing hardware, software, music, movies and marketing. Here at Deal Journal, we also are celebrating Jobs’s legacy of building Apple and other companies through corporate deal making. Deal Journal has chosen to mark the moment with a look back at Jobs’s five most important deals.
