New is NEW not modified OLD

  • People often find it hard to recognize something "new" happening or coming. Even when they do recognize, they do it so in terms of old things they know.  For instance , when Newton formulated  his laws of Physics, he did not use the term physics or physical he called them " Philosophy of Nature". 
  • When cars emerged in the early 20th century, they were initially called ―horseless carriages. Understandably, people were skeptical at first, and they viewed the invention through the lens of the paradigm that had been dominant for centuries: the horse and carriage. 


The first cars also looked very similar to the horse and carriage (just without the horse), as engineers initially failed to understand the new possibilities of the new paradigm, such as building for higher speeds, or greater safety. Incredibly, engineers kept designing the whip holder into the early models before realizing that it wasn't necessary anymore
  • Cloud computing seems to be also undergoing the same "transition"

What is Love?


A Parable I Liked 

A student asks a teacher, "What is love? “The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."



The student went to the field, went thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders....maybe there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... But he thinks maybe there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, "this is love... You keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already missed the person."

Emotion is "core" in personal relationships and is an "add-on" in professional life
