Business is Business

" If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then it makes perfect sense to say that it is the journey that counts, not reaching the destination. " quoted by Milhaly Csikszentmihalyi.

First of all I wanna say that, YES! this questioning habit works. Before I make a decision, I just need to question myself. Why should I do this? or Why should I do that?, What will Happen or What will not happen?. These questions help me make better decisions throughout the day. It's not a habit yet but i'm sorta getting the hang of it! and YES! I did wake up early for the past 2 days to study! And have done so with no problems and with both eyes open. Didn't do much but study actually.

Heroes Episode 7! * warning contains spoilers!*

I know i'm abit of a psycho, I kinda waited at 5.30pm onwards to wait for the episode to be out. So I waited and waited.. 6pm . . . Yatta! it's out! hehe. And hoo-rah. It only took about 3 1/2 hours to download it. This episode is definitely moving somewhere, so much character development in just 1 episode. Things are getting more and more complicated. No sign of sylar and the two mexicans though. Main problem at the moment, is Mr.Adam Monroe. Yes who is he? find out for yourself at the end of the episode. Honestly I hope that claire's father will die because I think he's an @**hole. HOWEVER, it will NOT happen. Why? he plays too big a role to be dead in this season. Turns out that Parkman's powers ain't so sissy after all. I'd give a 9/10 for this episode. why not 10? didnt feel it was THE best to date. But it was really damn good.


Prison Break 6 & 7 * warning contains spoilers & pure criticism *

Just break out of prison already will you? how many seasons of episode do you need to break out of prison? I mean, if the "company" was THAT powerful. Why can't they just handle the situation themselves. Anyways, maybe some of you readers have not been catching up with prison break, but guess what? You betcha! he's still trying to get out of prison. Well for someone who can break out of anything, put him in a room with no doors! i'd love to see how he breaks out of that room. So story drags on again. Will let ya'll know which episode he actually breaks out, and which episode he'll be BACK into another prison. Cause honestly I don't see how this could end. Even though it's so draggy and getting so retarded, i'll still give it a 8/10 because of the actors and actresses who play they're role so very well. As michael always says, " it's all part of the plan " . duuuuuh. supertoxicgunaimsbbqpewpewwhatever. [sorry celliz,modified your bad word]

I'll close today's post with this short illustration or story, whatever you wanna call it. Enjoy.


Philosophy of the Stock Market

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared who announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers, seeing
that there were many monkeys in the forest, went out and started
catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 each. As supply started to diminishand
villagers started to stop their efforts, he announced that now he would
buy them at $20 each.

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching
monkeys again. Soon, the supply diminished even further and people
started going back to their farms.

The offer rate was increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys
became so scarce that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone
catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each. However,
since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant
would now buy on behalf of the man.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, "Look at
all the monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell
them to you at $35 each and when my boss comes back, you can sell them
to him for $50 each."

The villagers queued up with all their savings and bought all the
monkeys.

After that, neither the assistant nor the businessman could be found
anywhere but the monkeys were everywhere!

The End

I found this illustration to be very true and helps me to understand how the stock market can sometimes be so cruel.
