Job Hunting and Re-invention by New Perception

To reinvent yourself for new jobs and opportunities, you need to see things anew. If not by your own eyes, by some borrowed eyes.  I learn a lot from this fantastic book.






















Job Hunting and Re-invention

If you feel your options are limited, try the fiction-writer's lens. This fantastic book says it all.










































Young Steve Jobs's Business Acumen

Wozniak (Apple co-founder) wanted to give his design away so that other people could build their own personal computer.

Jobs knew people were either too busy or not smart enough to do so. He knew they would pay for convenience.










And Paul Terrell, the owner of a computer store, also knew that. That's Steve Jobs's genius and savvy.

Over-Automation and Over-AI

A few months back, Elon Musk admitted that production delays at Tesla factories were down to their attempt to automate too much too soon.

Here in this story, the pilots had to fight their own in-flight software. The software read wrongly that the plane was rising too steeply and corrected the "error" by diving the plane too steeply too. The pilots tried to over-ride the software with lots of difficulty.























Here I see no point to plug into my web app. ( candopi.com ). 

Haa Haaa Haa ...



Entrepreneurs to Be Impulsive and to Think Black and White


I admit that there is a great method to Steve Jobs's apparent madness.

Serious Dangers of Zooming Out Too Far : President Obama


When we look for jobs, we need to look a bit more closely. Or else, we may feel despair as all the roads may seem blocked some times. This can happen to genius like President Obama.

Excellent Sheep? Excellent Students?

However if he is right, we need to something for our kids and our schools

How to be LUCKY


In Australia, people are mostly employed, but in debt and practising frugality out of necessity.





















In India, youth are "atrociously educated" but under-employed.













In Israel, researchers noted that very efficient and capable brains can be more error-prone.





















In England (this one is not recent), coaches find that the more familiar you are with success,  the calmer you will be.










No connection among these pieces. Except I happened to read them in a row ;-)
