Steve Jobs - An Innovation.
Iphone.Ipad.Ipod.Pixar.NeXt.
So, who is this person? Should i say, an innovator?
He is the Father of Future. What I am referring to is Steve Jobs. Born on February 24, 1955, he is a children who lack with love where he is an illegitimate children when his mother decided to have him and then decided to give him to a couple, Paul Reinhold Jobs and Clara Jobs.
In his period of living, he started his career as an ATARI technician for barely 7 years. Then, he moves on opening his small-time company, by the name of Apple. With best friend, Steve Wozniak, they sells circuit board at first which changes slowly to computer prototypes. Apples grow bigger and bigger with the help of Intel ( funding of $500,000 in the starting of Apple).
What Steve Jobs does know is perfectionist. By an attitude of being perfectionist, he tends to stress out others such as his workers and partners. According to former employees, his tendency of workplace bullying has gotten his mind.
His rationality has been in decline mood for first few years of Apple, therefore he was dismissed in 1985, almost 9 years after co-founding it with Steve Wozniak. In Stanford, 2005, where he gives a speech, he said that being fired from Apple is the most grateful thing that he valued because the heaviness of being successful has been a burden to him and he love the feels of being a beginner again.
Then, NeXt company as well as Pixar Inc. has been a dream come true to him. He has changed. Although being said as a person who is very bad in character, mean and full of hatred, I will salute him for what he has done. His achievements was far better now than before being fired by Apple. He has created something, which is HIMSELF.

Jack The Ripper - Promotion?
Is it coincidence or just a plain organized? In 1888 , there were murder cases in White chapel, London. The cases is Jack The Ripper case which has creates a national sensational tabloid news at that time. Jack The Ripper cases is murder cases which is unsolved and remain as a mystery up until now. The list of suspect has been over 100 names but the most 'invincible' man is the authorities itself.
WHAT DO I MEAN BY AUTHORITIES?
Could you ever think that Jack the Ripper is the police itself? In this case, the police officer-in-charge is Sir Melville Machnaghten.
Who is Sir Melville Machnaghten and Why do I make him as the Jack The Ripper?
Smart man,bright idea |
Timeline of his life when in Whitechapel.
1889 : Jun - Appointed Assistant Chief Constable (CID).
1890 : Promoted to Chief Constable (CID).
1903 : Promoted to Assistant Commissioner (CID). He was to become
the first Assistant Commisioner to personally arrest a burglar.
1908 : Awarded the CBE.
1914 : Published his memoirs "Days of My Years".
1921 : Died.
He was the Son of the last Chairman of the East India
Company in 1853. Eton-educated
( means he's smart, as all of Britain's leader and successful people are from Eton).
His famous quotes are "...I have a very clear idea who he was
and how he committed suicide..." and " the Whitechapel murderer had 5 victims- & 5 victims only. "
The question is, how does he know that Jack The Ripper kills 5 people only? He is also the one who burnt down all Jack The Ripper evidence later between the period of closing of the case. Why does he need to burn down all of those evidences?
Out of all list that he concluded, he never concluded himself. Jumping out to conclusion that he is Jack the Ripper is perfectly reasonable as he is invicible from law that he emphasizes.
Let us see this mystery video to improve the understanding of this unsolved case.
#Fact : Irony, The Scotland Yard Building site is place where the killing spree started. It is irony that police sites is the site of unsolved mystery once happened.
Happy Living or Just Plain Bitterness ?
How to measure happy? Is there any way to even measure it?
According to Bertrand Russell, the feeling of being happy is based on the individual himself. By judging the state of being happy individually, people can actually know what is happy or not happy.
The 'Happy' itself is subjective. In example, a cab driver is happy when he achieved his goal of making profit where else a engineer is in a state of happy when his work in his field successes and the product or company excels. Individuality is very subjective and it shows that happy which is a feeling could be subjective as well.
Just a friendly advice, be happy for what you are or what you are doing right now. This is because, you may never feel of happy again once you stepped out of your old world of living. Perhaps being wild and free could be more happening than trapped inside the trap of mind? Think Happy. Be free. Be extraordinary.

Springtime For Hitler
Mel Brooks.
What is so special about this guy?
He is one extraordinary guy, who creates a satire or parody by using his own wit.
Let me introduce you about him briefly, he is born as Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn, New York. Born as a jew, which comes from a German descendant and Ukraine, he believes in using public humiliation than using words. By making a parody, he can humiliate people according to his own way of view and thinking. He made us think, whether to hate or love. He has created a medium where people could see his world as if his views and his own way of thinking.
Rather than being an outspoken person such as Michel Foucoult in expressing himself and a person who avoid risk, Mel Brooks believes in being outspoken in drama or a play where he can use it to the fullest on humiliating people.
One of his famous act is Springtime for Hitler.
As we all know, Hitler is a subject of hatred by Jews. Hitler being described in this movie of ' The Producer' as a sissy who is afraid of himself, full of low self-esteem and Mel Brooks uses this as his own way of describing Hitler. In making satire of Hitler, he satisfy himself in being outspoken in this act. His fake smiling is a disguise.
Mel Brooks. Top of the world with his beliefs. ' The Producer' wins Academy Award for Best Original Screenwriter.
