Finer Analysis- Most unused of human faculties

Many of my friends who used to dislike my abstract writtings, started getting thru it , once it started getting more responses. It happens, when somebody is planning for life or years art of focusing on moments is more demanding. The fun is that you may deal with one single moment for hours together; but the process then goes on becoming sharper and sharper and one just goes on dealing with the 'real time' discipline. The skill lies in expanding your mindfulness and expanding the horizons. Nothing is simple, but to be able to discect and reconstruct is not out of this world. The concept of "nano' just revolves around this approach and its a matter of time that persons like me will not be treated 'out of place' or 'unduely ahead of time'

When Human assets are able to offer these faculties, it will be unwise to use them. Moreover, such discipline can be applied to host of matters in our life. My case study has created further reponse, I know people need to relate these abstract thoughts to their lives to make such discipline as part of their lives.

Connecting the Dots


I was just about to think for a suitbale picture for this blog, somehow, as if by a great coincidence I cam across the the following words, by no other than Steve Jobs- when he spoke to Stanford students in a commencement address on 12th June 2005.Steve says..
" I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."


I strongly wish that you should go through his address

I think the picture can wait a little bit. I got the picture also. Look for such stories for yourself if you feel that you need to be convinced by others.
