Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
US diplomat & reformer (1884 – 1962)

I picked up this famous quote from a Facebook posting (or twitter) a month back. This reminds me of :

1.the success factor of entertainment/gossip magazines/websites/blogs and tabloid newspaper. Newsweek 21 Dec 09 highlighted a definition of celebrity by Daniel Boorstin “The Celebrity is a person who is well-known for his well-knownness”. Profiting on people’s well-knownnses is a kind of K-Economy right? So you go figure our readers are categorized by which kind of mind ; the great? the average? or the small?

2. the common avoidable pity petty party always taking place at the office

3. why Islam prohibits ‘mengumpat’

4. the importance of composing yourself in a bloody debate in meetings and to only air wise remarks, not character assassination words

All 4 of the above also reflects to me. Time for Muhasabah. Tahun baru Hijrah 1431 baru kelmarin berlalu.

if ever somebody spit on you (or me), and you feel that you are loosing, just remember this:

I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year…. It’s very character-building.

Steve Jobs (1955 – ), Apple Confidential 2.0
