96-year-old master's student 'pulled all-nighters'"A 96-year-old Taiwanese man who will receive his master's degree in philosophy this weekend said he was able to compete with younger students by pulling all-nighters before exams." (Source) PERSONAL COMMENT: He was told he was too old to continue volunteering at a local hospital. He got bored and he did not have any hobbies so he decided to continue his learning. I admire this Grandpa Chao for his desire to make as much of his life and through his actions say to people who limit themselves only to a few possibilities because of their age. I am finally in Facebook!After so many people telling me to be in Facebook, I finally jumped on the bandwagon this weekend. So if you

Future of newspapers is digital: MurdochIt is clear that revenue from print news is declining. You have probably heard by now that Rupert Murdoch is looking to charge for news content. Think about the following trends: Open Source Software - people gather together to build software by collaborating with each other, and in return, every one gets to use this software free. Wikipedia - people contribute their knowledge to one encyclopedia and in return every one gets to use this collective knowledge free. Creative Summons - people contribute their creative properties for others to use in their own works and in return, they also get to use other people's works for free. There is a trend of collaboration. And so there should be. I believe that such organisations are more efficient with regards to the use of humanity's intellectual property. My guess, therefore, is that, traditional business models like the one Murdoch has in mind, those that 'toll' people to use the only 'highway' available to get from point A to point B, will find that it is hard to apply this in the Internet. In the Internet, it is easy for people to collaborate with each other and make many other 'highways'. Not only that, they are able to build much better 'highways'. People will always find news that is free. If none is being made available from them, they will find a way to make it so. There will always be journalists, or people who can perform the role, to provide news for free in return for some perceived benefit. |

"Wealth is not measured by how much money we earn, or how much assets we have. It is measured by how much freedom we have to make the choices that are important to us: the freedom to choose where, how and why we live our lives."
-- Marquez Comelab
We go to work everyday. It is something we need to do, so we might as well do it with happy spirits. But in our spare time, nothing stops us from exploring the possibilities of all that we can achieve and all that we can give to ourselves, to the people we love and to the world around us.
You may already be trading the financial markets or you may have never heard of currency trading before, but if you want to take ownership and responsibility for your own economic future, then this book is for you.
In his simple, easy-to-understand language, the author takes you through a thorough study of all the crucial aspects of trading that can help novice and intermediate traders. Reading through it is much like having a friend next to you, patiently explaining everything you need to know to prepare for your journey, avoid the pitfalls of trading, accelerate your education and develop your own trading methodology.
REVIEW
"Your book is extremely well written. I have now read many and it shows all others to be amateur in comparison. It is the inspiration for me entering the profession with confidence after previously coming to the conclusion that Forex is nothing but a gamble."

The Tyranny Of God
E-Book Edition
$15 USDs
Is there a God? Where do the animals, plants and human beings come from? Are scriptures the words of gods? Does religion teach us to live moral lives? Why do so many people kill and are killed over it? How should we live our lives if God exists? How should we live it if God does NOT exist?
This book explores the truth behind our beliefs in God and the propensity of human beings to be religious. In an honest attempt to seek the answers to life's deepest questions, I probe into how life began. I then progress to investigate the true nature of religions and their impact on our lives and the rest of humanity.
The main purpose of this book is not to argue against religion. Rather, it tells our story and how we have come to oppress ourselves with the tyranny of our own beliefs. I wrote this book to include everything I discovered to be relevant in my search for the truth, not just the truth behind God and morality, but also behind us and our existence. Instead of reading this book with the expectation that it is trying to prove the tyranny of God, I would like to recommend you read it as a story book: as a book that tells the story of humanity from the Big Bang.
REVIEW
"While Comelab's writing is always moderate in tone, its message clearly undermines current distractions with accommodationist arguments towards presumed religious "moderates". It is written with the fresh confidence of a young man who has had early success in his adopted country and only recently come to realise the truth of atheism. For those like me whose only worry about Atheism has long been its faultering progress, Comelab reminds us that much of the energy must continue to come from those who have more recently learned the truth. He seems more than bright enough to soon progress to seeing atheism not as an end but as a starting point to the kind of understanding that should enable us to work towards a future incomparably better than any heaven the faithful can imagine."
