Linguistic Telepathy

I lost feeling everything around me for minutes. People around me come and go with no attention paid from my side or theirs. Time stops as my electronic massager heats and gently kneads my back muscles. The last sip of my coffee is followed by some cold water. I only think about the sea. I long to stand before the waves stroking my feet. My phone suddenly rang in my earphones and devastated the whole mode after the music interrupted. 

" THINK " - This simple motto adopted by the Big Blue, known as IBM, has an uncomplicated interpretation.    Thomas Watson, who led this tech giant from 1914 to 1956, puts it in a plain cluster of words.  "And we must study through reading, listening, discussing, observing, and thinking. We must not neglect any one of those ways of studying. The trouble with most of us is we fall down on the latter, thinking because it is hard work for people to think. And as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler said recently: "All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think."

This is an exclusive piece of content. I am now writing from some conference, named a summit. Right now I am, figuratively, at the peak of this summit. Somebody is speaking high in the sky. Yes, he said that! High in the sky! I really do not know why. The man easily tackles the artificial intelligence topic while crossing his legs in front of the audience. CIOs came from all sides of this developing country. Top IT companies brought their reps to learn the latest trends of the cloud. In the bla bla bla summit, round tables gathered media persons, sponsors' reps, lost minds, collectors of giveaways, and many irrelevant attendees. At breaks, everybody is heavily eating and drinking. Is this the Cloud? Is this a place to learn and network? Back in time, a local legal IT influencer guy I closely know asked me to localise the Cloud Computing Law. I emailed Christopher Millard, the editor of the book who was a "computer lawyer" before the rise of "Cloud Computing...

As I grew older, Cadabra, Inc. became the world’s largest online retailer; namely, Amazon, Inc. Jeff Bezos is a source of inspiration as a Dot-com bubble survivor. His unorthodox business model made him the first ever centi-billionaire at the top of Forbes 2018’s list.  He uplifted  the e-commerce industry, yet left competitors behind digital uncertainties. News flash! The profit margins of big names, such as Toys R Us, were squeezed as Amazon and big-box retailers slashed prices bring customers into virtual stores. 

Amazon has always satisfied the bookworm in me. This online bookstore contributed to the avid reader in me. I enjoyed the rating, reviews, and categorization of its model for Internet sales. Goodreads, its social cataloging, is my intellectual getaway. The shelves crammed with brainy favorites influenced my book choices.  How Many Books Has Stephen King Written? Source: reference.com

Near a dancing fountain, I am sitting. I barely look at the water droplets flirting the sunbeams. Electronica music titillates my ears while I am recalling Brave New World . I read it more than a decade ago The Dystopia is here. Plastic creatures everywhere. They are socially indoctrinated! Now I decide to get away. Bill, please!

Today I've received my daily inspirational quote from " Insight of the Day" and it said " the most powerful element in advertising is the truth" by  William Bernbach – 1911-1982, Advertising Director. Bernbach's words looked similar to those of the father of advertising. “Tell the truth, but make the truth fascinating. You know you can’t bore people into buying your product, you can only interest them into buying it”  David Ogilvy  once advised.  Spit it out and be sure to spill it wonderfully.
