How Will You Measure Your Life?
Here's an interesting article from hbr.org. But what I found more interesting was one of the comments which quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition of a life well spent:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded."

Pinoys rank high in social media usage - survey (From Philstar.com)
MANILA, Philippines - The largest ever international research into people’s online activities and behavior showed Filipinos as one of the frontrunners in social media despite lower online usage and engagement compared to global levels.
Covering 46 countries and 90 percent of the world’s online population, the Digital Life 2011 survey was conducted by TNS, the world’s biggest custom research company.
Meanwhile, in a parallel study called Mobile Life 2011, it was shown that the Philippine mobile phonemarket differs from its global counterparts. Approximately 30 percent of Metro Manila respondents consider content and applications (11 percent) as an important motivator for future mobile phone purchase. This ranks fourth after network provider (15 percent), handset brand (14 percent) and handset model (13 percent), with the top three considerations deemed most important by more than half of those interviewed.
Leading mobile application activities in the country include music (79 percent), games (55 percent), videos and pictures (54 percent), and social networking (53 percent).
The Digital Life study showed that globally, people who have online access have digital sources as their number one media channel. Around 61 percent of online users use the Internet daily against 54 percent for television, 36 percent for radio, and 32 percent for newspapers.

Cool Wedding Proposal
Here's some of the comments:
Dear future husband of mine,
It's okay if you can't top this, but I'd like you to try ;)
Sincerely, Me
Nice proposal, but I'll be honest, if I was part of the audience I'd be pissed. I just wanted to see a movie.

The Ten Nations Where Facebook Rules The Internet
Based on this article the Philippines is now the "Social Networking Capital in World". Facebook has about 93% penetration of the 29% of the Filipinos who are online. We used to be the text capital of the world, not sure but I think we were overtook by Indonesia. I think it's due to the sheer number of their population though.
Here's the stats based on the article from 247WallStreet.com:

Our Deepest Fear (from Coach Carter)
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
