Weathering the Economic Crisis







Much has been written about the current global economic crisis. To write about it will not add any solace to the majority of us. Wealth is very much a psychological comfort feeling. It is all so unreal, when one hears about the trillions of dollars to "rescue" the greed of the few who created this mess; it is really a case where fact is stranger than fiction.

Like the ominous dark cloud that looks so threatening, bringing thunder and lightning; eventually the downpour and still the rain will stop. Life will go on just as surely the earth will turn on its axis. And such weather does provide wonderful photographic opportunity, as I was driving home. I took out my Fuji Finepix s100fs, upon reaching home and took some of these shots which bring out the dichotomy of nature - for where there is light; there will be darkness. For where there is crisis; there is also opportunity.

Opportunity is not without risk; just as crisis is not without solution. Each one of us will just have to weather through the crisis in our own way. It will surely pass. In the process, will we be able to "rain" in the opportunity and make a "thunderous" victory?

The article on Natural Cure, is posted directly from Google Docs (Beta) in which the original resides. This is the first time I attempted this action, and it works seamlessly. I can now easily write an article in word document, store it in Google Docs (Beta), and then publish it to my blog. If you go to the Links on the left and click on the "Pictorial Journey" you are immediately taken to Picasa, which is also part of iGoogle. In this photo storage, you are able to see what I have put in as public photos. You can also have private photos which are not shared. I have not tried video, as it takes time to edit for something that is worth sharing. Google has purchased YouTube for a few billion dollars, and this means you can integrate video as well. I am sure it can be linked to e-Bay which you buy and sell your stuffs and many more. I have to keep this experiment going to opti...

Expectation and Reality

Which parents do not wish the best for their kids? Which kids (teenagers) ever understand their parents? Hence the arrival of the generation gap. While the parents work to fill the barn with grains for a stormy future; the kids pass out the grains to demonstrate their pride in having what their contemporaries may not have. This same phenomenon is like the Chinese saying of wealth will not last three generations. The first generation painfully work hard and save to grow the wealth. The second generation appreciates this hardwork and continues to grow but use the wealth cautiously and educate the next generation. The third generation does not see the hardwork, but that they have more than sufficient to use and lose their hunger to find food. Eventually they lose it all through laziness and extravagance. The Americans spend more than they earn to sustain the growth economy of developing and emerging nations. They owe the rest of the world about thirteen trillion dollars. Here is the live ...
