Steve Jobs Last Words



You May Know Me, But You Don't.

Facebook. By simply clicking subscribe or add as a friend, one should simply befriend another person. An article from Jenna Wortham, reporter at New York Times by the the subject of All The Cool Kids are Quitting Facebook proves that Facebook popularity has decreased over just 1 year. Why this happened?

Facebook? Nada!


Nowadays, people tends to misuse the the Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. It creates an imaginative barrier full of clutter. Should people know, committing to the social networking may bring a disastrous result in future. So, peeps, why don't you reevaluate the values of these little things in your life?

 All the Cool Kids are Quitting Facebook?! They shouldn't have one. Lets take a look on video above which are the times before Facebook and other internet things,

Steve Jobs - An Innovation.

So, who is this person? Should i say, an innovator?

Steve Jobs

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.

What did you feel about his expression?Happy? Judge it. 
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.

 
Watch to believe. 

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.

Irony
  • is a consistency between what might be expected to happen and what actually happens especially when this differences seems absurd or laughable.
  • In example, I have to submit assignments tomorrow, though i still went out partying.

Paradox

Differences between irony and paradox

Paradox: In paradox the truth is stated directly. in both contradicting situations one is true while the other one is false.

Irony: In irony the truth about both contradicting situations are debatable. We could never be sure which one is true and which one is wrong.

Better Living through Better Perspective

Basically, humans rely on their brain function to tell them what should be done and what not. Brain is an organ which is unique and very precious to one in thinking about life. In human lives, people tends to think on how to impress others who is in their circle of interaction. Why don't these people question about this function of their own brain? Do you ever think of that? Why do we need to impress people? We won't get anything by impress others. Have you ever wondered why geniuses succeed on experimenting things that others believe they can't ever make it and these non-believers think it won't be real?


           

         BECAUSE GENIUSES DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHERS
                 


This non-believers has create their own standard of life. Whoever does not agree with them will surely be punished, tortured, or 'banished' . Why? They create a rule, a series of conduct should be followed, a norms which I believe has a room for improvement. Though, people who has develop their 'comfort zone' within those rules, norms will isolate people who have new ideas, perspective, or charisma to change those orders which I believe can change the world, religion,race, or even a community.

Better Perspective, Better Earth?




If ever people can change their perspective on things, if ever they could maximize their thoughts to the deepest, Earth would be a better place for living. 



Change your way of thinking. From being in such hatred of others, why don't we twist our mind and to realize that people do need other people to interact, lives and love. Understand them, try to be in their shoes, realize how you treat them. In that way, people will act in better way to the others.


revise this. :
           
            Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

Jews. Controversial Truth.

Talking on Jews. Jews are the most controversial people on earth. Why?
Back in Muhammad S.A.W era, they are the people who is thrown away from their own land because they hesitate to embrace Islam. Before that, they are the races that Allah S.W.T really love most. Even, most Muslims prophet came from their tribe which is Jews. Though, they still won't believe in existence of Allah S.W.T.  Therefore, Allah had made them homeless as a result of their ignorance. Living abroad means they started to adapt lives in Europe countries. They have adapted so well abroad, and they have controls certain economy in certain Europe country. Among them are Germany. Germany led by Adolf Hitler and his party, Nazi Party during The Third Reich has discovered  Jewish deceits in his own country. Radically, he takes action by making a massacre killing of Jews around Europe countries that Germany captured in World War II. This massacre killing is called   'The Holocaust'.

Holocaust in Concentration Camp






In Mein Kampf or My Struggle  written By Adolf Hitler himself, he stated that Jews are always hungry of power and shameless as well as they take all the credit by others work. He also mentions that they are also very deceptive, and do not trust them.

Though, does that means Jews should be treated badly and massive killing of their breed? Think again. Jews are deceptive, but that does not mean that people need to kill them in order to avoid the xenophobia of Jewish religions. Killing would be sin. Does Holocaust considered as a sin? Yes. Killing people is always a sin, and should be prosecuted. Banishing a race? Killing a race is considered as sin as well.Religion prohibit killing,either in Islam or any other religion. Taking one's life should be Gods job, not in another man's hand. Not trusting a people is ones problem. Hating a religion, hating a race does not mean that one should kill all of its follower.
 Re question your mind. Jews are deceitful, though Hitler should not react by killing all of them. Hitler is charismatic leader, with fruitful ideas for his country. Though, living in world that we shared, it is impossible that clash among culture and society will never occur. Integration is the answer.
Overhaul your brain to the deepest way of thinking that it should be. World can be better.




" Integration is a man's ability to want to move in there by himself. If someone wants to live in a white neighborhood and he is black, that is his choice. It should be his rights. It is not because white people will not allow him."
                                Stokely Carmichael, Trinidadian-American black activist
 











Power Overhaul Humans Ego.

Power. What can we tell about power? Basically, peoples with power can do whatever they wanted to. Power changes human characteristics. For example, in the case of George W. Bush, he wins the United States of America election in 2001. He leads America for almost 8 years until his purposed resignation on 20 January 2009. From being a kind and respected President in his early years of being in The White House, he ends his political career in disgrace. He conduct a war against Afghanistan and Iraq. He loses both. His reputation has been tarnished by his ongoing ego, never end drama of his life. Recently, he and his compatriot, Tony Blair, former Great Britain President being rumored to be executed in World Court in Den Hague, Netherlands for their war crimes towards Afghanistan and Iraq. That's an example on how power changes human behaviour.

Criminals ?

Though, is it fair for us to set a label on them ? By labeling them as criminals, we are now denying the good changes they have revolutionized  from previous leaders of both countries. By setting those label, we expecting a leader with a greater credibility, brighter ideas or perhaps different belief? Sometimes, we wanted changes so much until we forget what is true and what is right. A revolution does not mean it guarantees a changes. It may end well or it may end in a disaster compared previously. To dig inside their brain, we have to think like them. To think like them, we have to act like one. In similar to them is, Adolf Hitler. He has their passion, efforts, and way of thinking, only to change on his beliefs. His beliefs is radical which he adopted from the great thinker, Karl Marx. Marxism has changed many people way of thinking. Basically, a good thinker is he who think the most out of himself. In this case, Hitler or more known as Fuhrer in Germans Nazi era is very respected, an idol for each of the Germans who is thirsty of success.

 
Hitler, Idol of the Germans.





A radical man with wide ideas and perspective of the world. Befriending Muslims and Christians, he develops hatred in himself for Jews. Jews is a sinner in both of these religion. Muslim in their holy Quran, have said that Jews is a race that have sinned towards God by avoiding truth and they have shrug off Islamic teachings that have been passed down through Isa A.S, Musa A.S and most influential man on the earth, Muhammad S.A.W. Compare to Christians, Jews has killed their God, which is Jesus. Jews has crucify Jesus and they hated Jews for that reason. Fuhrer, then by his radical way of thinking has planned Holocaust, a massacre killing of Jews. This has resulted in 2/3 Jews all over Europe dead .


Hitler and Bosnian Mufti, Haj Amin Al- Husseini
 
Hitler and Pope, Pius XII

Should Hitler be considered as criminals, like Bush and Blair? Should not they be one? It relies on one to analyze and conclude by self.


 " To be like them, think like them. To think like them, act like them.                                                                                                               Anonymous

Traditional Thoughts? Think again.

Assalamualaikum. Sometimes being a great leader, does not mean that leader make a wise and the best decision for his subjects. Though, at certain level of time, people of his kingdom may think he has made a great contribution by making those decision. Wise or not, it depends on people's  choice to believe what they want. Traditional thoughts? You may consider to rethink it again. Why? People have their own judgements whether to stay on the traditional way of thinking or using the alternative thinking. Hi, I am Muhammad Yusuf Bin Muhammad Ali. As a student for Kolej Profesional Mara Indera Mahkota, Pahang, I have been assigned to make a blog for the subject of Critical Literacy ( COM 2553). This is the place where we can make our own thoughts, our own points of view, our perception on things, as well as the way we expressed ourselves. Traditional thoughts is when people use their own logic as the answer for everything. Rethink. By using only logic, people tends to set a standard. Any other radical or alternative answer is considered wrong or not suitable. Left brain is used for logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Why people set a standard of thinking by using left-brain? The answer is because our schooling years favours more to left-brain thinking and overshadows right brain method of thinking. Right brain, used for feeling, and creativity as well as arts. Sometimes people are afraid of others creativity, because it might overshadow their way of thinking or ideas. Though, ideas should lives on and never dies, because if idea dies, a breed dies.

Rethink.
