I’m guessing that you have experienced this at one time or another: it’s what we often call…the aha or eureka moment, the “wait a minute” moment….. Sometimes, we intentionally work towards it, at other times, it is serendipitous.
Small flashes of inspiration. Fleeting whispers of thought; the dots connect and boom….a bulb lights in your head.

You know, over a hundred billion people have ever lived and no generation has been as cluttered as ours. To say that the noise in our world from all the information overload is more than heavy metal sound will be to put it mildly. Everybody is talking and talking has never been easier and cheaper…with a […]
Today’s economy is organized around the exchange of goods and services, and that’s how value is created and communicated a lot of times.
Now, there is a reason it’s called good and service. Take it literally: Good means good and service means service (in every sense of both words). They are not pseudonyms or afterthoughts. And it’s not […]

But, you know what, aesthetic is not a key functionality for most people as much as fitness-for-purpose. That’s how we define quality these days, so, […]
Yesterday, I spoke briefly about the two kinds of tests that every mortal must face in his journey through life. The first is the test of value, and in the popular sense, it entails one’s ability to go to school, acquire a degree (another one and another one), get a job or […]
I’m guessing you have used the word provision in your communications — either written or spoken, at one point or another. There is the general sense of the word, which we all conversant with; but there is also another meaning which can give us a more insightful perspective.
The word provision can be split as: pro and vision…and pro is […]
In a physical economy, scarcity is the fundamental driver of value, such that, the rarer a commodity or service, the more valuable it is. That’s what gives gold its worth. And it is how the forces of demand and supply play a role in price determination. When the demand for a good is high and […]
