Some assuptions about Scorpion

Image
1. Scorpios are passionate . They are so intense in their feelings that many a times they scare people away with the power and sheer magnitude of their inner intensity. And they’re not passionate just about love, but about everything that is close to their heart. 2. Scorpios are brutally honest . You ask them what their opinion is, and they’ll give it to you. Point blank. No pretense, no flattery, no diplomacy, just the plain and naked truth. If you are not comfortable with it, don’t ask a Scorpio. Because sometimes, truth hurts.   3. Scorpios are brilliant at camouflage . The only organ that deceives them is their eyes. So if you want to know what they are really feeling inside, try to read those eyes. If they let you read them.   4. Scorpios are totally aware of what they are, and what they are not, and they really don’t have the time to analyze what others’ opinion about them is. So don’t feel bad if you compliment a Scorpio and he/she simply says, “I know. Thanks.” because they
Have you ever gotten lost on a dark night while out driving? Imagine you’re travelling down a country road. For miles you see no other vehicles, no reassuring headlights anywhere. There are no homes or businesses either, so there is no one to ask for directions - just miles and miles of hilly and chilly unending mountainous road, dimly lit by a crescent moon. The farther you go, the greater is your sense of panic. You’ve been watching the gas gauge fall, and it’s nearly on empty. Suddenly, you see the road sign you’ve been looking for, and you turn onto it. You’re on your way home.. My Year 2011 started on the very same note... :)

Beyond AYN RAND

The Bitch is Back 2009's most influential author is a mirthless Russian-American who loves money, hates God, and swings a gigantic dick. She died in 1982, but her spawn soldier on. And the Great Recession is all their fault By Andrew Corsello Illustration by John Ritter October 27, 2009   goddamn, the experience of being 19 years old and reading Ayn Rand! The crystal-shivering-at-the-breaking-pitch intensity of it! Not just for that 19-year-old, but for everybody unfortunate enough to be caught in his psychic blast radius. Is "experience" even the right word for The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged? Ayn Rand's idolization of Mickey Spillane and cigarettes and capitalism—an experience? Her tentacular contempt for Shakespeare and Beethoven and Karl Marx and facial hair and government and "subnormal" children and the poor and the Baby Jesus and the U.N. and homosexuals and "simpering" social workers and French Impressionism and a thousand other th

Is the relationship really worth it?

Read/ saw some important lessons on relationship and intimacy.. a presentation by Elizabeth Gilbert , author of Eat, Pray, Love.  Really worth a deep contemplation! The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid. Both Schopenhauer and Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state an individual will find themselves in relation to others. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and

How Will You Measure Your Life?

How Will You Measure Your Life? A wonderful work I found on HBR... and the forum that it created.. I'm still in the awe of these wonderful people around! Thank you  Clayton  for reminding us in such a brilliant and clear way that life is multidimensional; and for bringing sense to it. It is easier to hold on to your principles a 100 percent of the time; but whether or not THAT is the right/better thing to do - must be subject to the scrutiny of your very principle.  After all, its our moral frigidity that creates conflict, prevents co-existence and tolerance and brews superiority and judgement. The choice and successful pursuit of a profession is but one tool for achieving your purpose. But without a purpose, life can become hollow. Ironically, a man realizes the true meaning of his life only after the stark realization of its transcience. If more people follow the path of their heart rather than the crowd mentality of commercial success, the world would be different. Of
