Some work and financial issues

Did someone told you straight that "You are now not needed in this company because of recession. localization, bankruptcy, etc. etc.?" I did, several times now in one year that is 2011.

It was a shock to me at first. really, there were even those sleepless nights. All the work that I did just nosedived and went to nothing.

I understand it is the time of recession. There are no problems for me. heck, I have lots of money more than the company I have been working on. I just don't brag around like some dumb schmuck. But I feel pity for those who really need a job, one that has a family to feed, children to educate, and all of that.

Times are hard. It is a sign of capitalistic failure. We have to overhaul our financial system.

Debates are pouring in from all over the world, from thesis, dissertations, chatrooms, forums, but the single question still remains: "How do you minimize the gap between thr rich and poor?"

Communism is not the answer. Look at what happened to North Korea. They almost did it, but, making weapons instead of food is the same as capitalism in its sick level.

In any case, let's go back to where I am. Since my boss told me to leave my job, I have only one thing to say:

"Thank you sir for letting me work. And hope to serve you in the future."

It is much better accepting the fact that they are removing you from the job as soon as possible than letting you stay and be unproductive. 

'Think Differently' My letter to Steve Jobs

First of all, when you say 'Apple', the name Steve Jobs comes in second.

I do not know him in any way, but whenever I see Apple products on the store, I really do think Steve Jobs invented and reinvented these wonderful gadgets. 

Frankly speaking I cannot afford one. Seeing my friends and strangers have one, or any Apple related gadget/device seems like I was left behind in this fast paced world. I know there is something special behind it, aside from being regarded as an 'elite', you are also hip, cool, and more importantly, Apple owners know more about computers than anyone else.

The beautiful operating system has enchanted me a lot. Steve has put his heart in his creations. He thought differently, it shows in the products.

To the bereaved family, my deep condolences. I may not be an Apple fan, but somehow, somewhere, Steve's vision and leadership has inspired me, and countless others. 

Thank you for letting us 'think differently.'
