Happiness has a formula?

Tag: Discoveries @ 10:03 pm

Was reading through my RSS feeds this morning when this gem from the Dilbert blog came to my attention.

To be happy, truly skipping-along-all-day happy, you need to be successful in the following 3 areas (and I quote):

  1. Relationships
  2. Health
  3. Income

Realistically, you will only have time to accomplish any two of
those goals while bitching about the third. The day isn’t long enough
to do them all.”

I think happiness is a matter of balance. A person who can skillfully balance all 3 areas of happiness successfully is probably going to find himself/herself deliriously happy most the time. Such persons would definitely be violating some natural law and are only waiting for “the universe to smite them”, of course. :)

No cellphone. No email even.

Tag: Video, Weird Stuff @ 9:03 am

Could you do without?

That’s the question that NBC’s Today show special posed to Dennis Kneale from Forbes. He let them take away his cellphone, blackberry and email for a whole week. He lasted 3 days before giving up, teary-eyed. Watch the video to see Dennis’ plight.

In these days of cellphone network congestion, I meet and know a lot of people who depend on not one but two cellphones. Not having both cellphones with them for a whole work week would be quite close to their worst nightmare, I think.

A new beginning to editioning of Software releases?
I don’t know.
I don’t think every customer is gonna require a geek to tell them which Vista to choose.
Good for the geeks, either way.
