Is this an irony or what! Well such is life.
It is either the pain or the dream
In “The fallacy of financial literacy,” Jill Schlesinger, CFP and editor-at-large for CBS MoneyWatch, argues that pain is a more effective motivator than any financial literacy program.

Yes, it is either the pain or the dreams that motivate people to work towards financial literary and ultimately financial freedom.
A VC: Online Learning and Higher Ed
There is no question that putting all of these lectures and knowledge online is going to change things. But I am also a big fan of what happens when a teacher and a small group of students get together in a classroom and real personal interaction happens.

A challenge to solve would be to increase collaboration and connectivity between participants taking a course and make it as frictionless as possible. The mature age learners could learn more from the smart interactions and collaborations which crosses cultural and physical barriers.
“Power of One Unique Visitor”
(104) The Power Of One Unique Visitor – @semil’s blog – Quora.
I love this story. The story is about a couple having difficulties conceiving a child and the help they received along the way. God has mysterious ways in helping us. Read it, share your perspective and share it with your friends who may benefit from this.

The problem with the delays is the more delayed they are, the more irrelevant they will become. Google Drive has come a long way and it may be a matter of time before we see them supporting the Microsoft formats.
Future of Food
A must see slide deck for all vegetarians and non-vegeterians by Bill Gates. Read, observe and digest. It is a topic worth your time and thought.
Facebook Home and Privacy
Om Malik is concerned about user privacy when people start using Facebook Home.
But there is a bigger worry. The phone’s GPS can send constant information back to the Facebook servers, telling it your whereabouts at any time.
One simple answer – don’t use the app, end of the story.
But isn’t services like Facebook, Twitter gathering a lot of information on us using other means as well such as phone apps, their web services etc.? These services would have enough information on where I go, the most places from where I update my status, take photos, tag people etc.
We may be giving away our privacy (oh how the meaning of privacy has changed over the decades) but we are gaining benefits from that as well. The information that I get from web services such as Google, Facebook, Twitter is more contextual and more relevant.

Yes, validations are necessary and important but more so when one is producing, creating, innovating stuff. Don’t spend all the time just getting validations (and likes) on the things that don’t matter.
