Reciprocity

Great words, especially in these times of needs when news on TV is full of stories of charity organizations working overtime to assist the needy.

“Whenever you feel ‘short’ or in ‘need’ of something, give what you want first and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love and friendship. I know it is often the last thing a person may want to do, but it has always worked for me. I just trust that the principle of reciprocity is true, and I give what I want.”

Robert T. Kiyosaki
American Author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad

“What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny.”

Maxwell Maltz, 1899-1975
American Surgeon and Author

Happy 2009!

A feel-good story to start off the new year. Have to admit, as one of the commenters said, at first I was a bit worried for the two guys when the lion came charging down the hill…

Here is the original source, with full commentary (a documentary).

Lessons from Monopoly

The game Monopoly is probably well known to most of the people who is reading this?

My memory of Monopoly was one of a number of board games I played in my childhood, where you bought and sold things. Recently, I suddenly got bitten by the “board game bug” and ended up buying “Monopoly – World Edition”. Although I have not played it very often, I was sufficiently interested that I decided to also buy a version for my iPhone.

After playing the game on the iPhone against the AI engine for the last couple of days, I have come to realise a few things. While chance/luck is an undeniable factor in the game, there are some strategies that can maximise one’s chances in winning, despite having rotten luck some of the time.
