Fredrick the Great of Prussia, in 18th century, was very keen for the Germans to adopt potato to eat it. Because he realised if you had two source of carbohydrate, wheat and potatoes, you will get less price volatility in market. Even Germans will have two back to back crops.

The problem was very few Scottish were eating vegetables. The Prussian community said” We can’t even get the dogs to eat these damn things. They are disgusting things and absolutely good for nothing. There are even records of people executed for not growing potato.

We are seeing emergence of new branding Industry. Rahul Gandhi's image was as a Immature and irresponsible boy. He is now being branded as intelligent leader. Efforts are ON. Huge media agencies are working. He gets huge back up of script writers, event managers, and brand builders to prove that he is the future of India. It seems it is working slowly.

We are in a race, we all human. Race is to prove superiority. In such race, it is hard to keep self emotionally fit. High population means many issues, accidents, breakups, and mental meltdowns. Social dynamics have been changing with mobile connectivity. We are now connected to large audience. Our voice or talent could be heard loudly. Our strengths are being recognised. Our weakness are being exposed.

IN Europe - 1 out 15 people go in depression every year, 4 out of 16 get anxiety attack.

My mother is 73 yrs. old. We recently planned to renovate our old home. No one had lived in that home for 20 yrs. It was empty. She lived in it for 25 yrs. She had boxes .. Really old one. She resisted to discard them, distribute them or destroy them. We love to accumulate stuffs, even if we don’t use them.

Science of happiness is changing. Earlier it was like

• Work Hard >> Earn More >> Buy more Stuff>>> Enjoy

New generation is like live in present and enjoy stuff.

I came across an interesting TED video about speaking on self. Title is “Adam Galinsky: How to speak up for yourself”. It raises many interesting questions and provides tools. It gives insight on when to assert self and when to play defensive. Our power games play important role in any negotiation or discussion. Our range of acceptable behavior to speak up solely determine by a particular context.

Justice is always an illusion. There is no concept called “Equal division”. People or organizations are on roads, questioning or demanding gender equality, pay equality, religious equality, or money equality. There may be 100 odd Ted videos on equality topic.

Whole justice system is designed to get equality in system. In Nature, there is no such concept. Nature respects diversity. All products of nature are unique. Their need is different.

Is skill more important or Attitude? Both have their own significance.

There are many institutes coming up for skill development. Indian parents are spending huge money on skill development of their kids. Working corporates are working overtime to get extra MBA or black belt etc. Everyone wants to grow. It works only when you love your work. More than 80% of people hate their work. They stop growing as they stop learning.  

I read a book “who moved my cheese”. It is a tiny book which can unlock your emotional complexity. We all want cheese (fun, comfort, luxury). We want comfort zones where we can build a happy dreamy world. We are GOD there. We have created it. It will have career, love, or family of OUR choice. Cheese is piece of that dream. It is a share of heaven. If you give “Cheese” to someone, he will be very happy and proud of you.
