Life is meaningful, only when one wishes to make it. We are creatures of time and we’ll wither away in it. The little moments of joy we find and create are all that will live with us.
I have come up with a simplified 2 step, way to minimize the damage caused by polythene bags.
After use…
Step 1.
Streamline the bag with its own creases.
Like so…
Step 2.
Knot it in two or more places (depending on its length) to disable it.
This simple act before throwing the bag away will disable it from causing a number of damages, such as:
It will not fly – It will not open and capture other garbage – It will not get tangled in drainage lines – It will become heavier and easily pick-able for sorting and so on.
Simplicity and a bit of sense can help manage major issues with a collective approach.
I hope you all spread this simple technique and act it out – as often as possible. Thanks.
Johathan Ive is really the true marvel and the ‘secret’ weapon Steven had and has with Apple.
His eyes see as his mind sees and his thought delivers the same – composed composed communication and production.
I marvel at this gifted man’s team work and unison.
The best statement that captures my mind in this presentation is …
“The very best ideas can very often come, from the quietest voice”.
I think that encapsulates a very big wisdom – which we all now can visibly see in the products – how this wisdom plays into the science and rationality of commerce and innovation.
The beauty of knowing and understanding – how form and function are not separate, but – ONE!
The largest downside to the high pace of development in the world is a simple but enormous problem of trash.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Trash is not the story of developing nations and yet it is trash that can take a nation’s prestige down big time.
I reside in Karachi, Pakistan at the moment and here neither the government nor the private enterprise has come up with any plan of action on trash.
For the largest part I would think that the issue is unique to developing nations, till I saw a video on Japan.
The Japanese came out with ingenious ways to put trash to use.
At the same I saw a humble trash collector too, who showed me that he cared more about trash than the citizens themselves.
Observe the humble and nimble trash collection device + recycling system.
His young son collects the trash and gives it to the father, the father then distributes the trash in two – solids that can be recycled/ used and organic waste.
Yet he says there is no government landfill he can use to dump it in; further some areas are under influence from some political parties too.
I mean WOW – sensibility in such an overlooked aspect of life, despite odds.
We all want to consume the best yet we all put out the worst too and it’s up to us to be manageable about both.
That is the sign of a sensible people and a responsible nation, first.
What kind of a human, even a martial thinker – would take pleasure in killing…
Unless they have lost their mind in a genuine way!
Any person who develops a taste for blood, has in-fact chosen a certain path – The path of evil.
Like a drug they become more and more dependent on blood to quench their thirst and that is where I feel the likes of ISIL and other behind the scenes terrorist fall along with their overlords that hide in shadows, aiming to shroud this earth in darkness.
Evil is pursuing to drown this world out in its darkness, it seems – It aims to remove all kindness and love from the hearts of man and replace it with doubts and fears.
Man needs to see each other as man in a spiritual sense – if we are to survive as mankind.
Prayers for the people all over France, and every nook and crany of this world were innocent souls are facing evil designs.
White House yesterday puts out a statement acknowledging Edhi’s accomplishments.
”
Abdul Sattar Edhi was one of the world’s great humanitarians. From the medical clinic he established in Karachi, Pakistan almost 60 years ago, he and his wife Bilquis created a vast network of social services for Pakistan’s most vulnerable, encompassing nursing homes, orphanages, soup kitchens, maternity wards, women’s shelters, rehabilitation centers, and the largest voluntary ambulance fleet in the world. Even as his foundation’s operations expanded beyond Pakistan’s borders, Edhi still often drove his own ambulance, personally caring for the injured.
Edhi led a life dedicated to serving others, and his determination to provide equal treatment for all–regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, or class–stands as a sharp rebuke to those who would use fear and violence to create divisions. We offer our condolences to Bilquis and their four children, the millions of people around the world whose lives he touched, and to the people of Pakistan, who have lost a heroic servant of humanity.
