Mark Joyner - Freedom Agent

Monday, June 4th, 2007

I attended the recent World Internet Mega Summit, and Mark Joyner’s presentation made a huge impact on me.  His concept of “Freedom Agent” crystallized for me the vision I have been looking for all this while. 

Mark Joyner observed that as technology advances, people have more and more free time.  However most of us are trapped in the slave cycle, where our main concern in life is survival.  Every man in the street has genius locked inside him.  Unfortunately because of our entrapment in the slave cycle, we cannot free ourselves and uncover our genius.   

He made a proposition that in the future, all of us will have 100% free time.   The only way we can do this is to free ourselves, the first priority being financial freedom.  This is so that we can get out of the slave cycle and be entrapped no more in time and space. 

To realise the proposition, it begins with us.  To inspire and strive to be a freedom agent, to have full control of our time, space and destiny.  After we successfully free ourselves,  we can choose to engage in unifying social dynamism projects - meaningful work to benefit the less fortunate amongest us.

Translation Tool

I find this quite a useful tool for translating text and even web page. 

But as always have a qualified human being verify the translation results.  You don’t want to trust a software completely.

Expand your mind

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

There is no way other parts of the world can be opened up for you; there is no way that you can release new things out of you, if you do not allow yourself to expand beyond where it is you are right now

Because as you continue to do the same old things over and over again, you go through the same patterns, you have the same thinking process that you come up with the same old ideas.

Photolurking, blog streaking and cheesepodding: The new Internet addictions

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

The Internet has given birth to a quirky range of modern addictions and maladies, the British weekly New Scientist says in its Christmas issue published this Saturday.They include these:

- EGO-SURFING: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the Internet.

- BLOG STREAKING: “Revealing secrets or personal information online which for everybody’s sake would be best kept private.” - CRACKBERRY: “The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother’s funeral.”

- GOOGLE-STALKING: Defined as “snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.”

- CYBERCHONDRIA: “A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer.”

- PHOTOLURKING: Flicking through a photo album of someone you’ve never met.

- WIKIPEDIHOLISM: Excess devotion to contributing to the online collaborative encyclopaedia, Wikipedia. (Wikipedia even has a page where you can test whether you’re an addict: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Are-You-a-Wikipediholic-Test)).

- CHEESEPODDING: Downloading of a song “so cheesy that you could cover it in plastic wrap and sell it at the deli counter.” Cheesepodders are especially vulnerable to soft-rock favourites from the 1970s. - AFP/sh
