The Tipping Point

I ordered this book called "the Tipping Point" and started reading it today. Although I'm only through a few chapters I'm really enjoying it. The backbone of the book so far is looking beyond your sphere of influence. When we interact with other people we aren't just touching the surface, we are creating a ripple effect in society. You can do this in many ways, from physically talking to people. To yawning. Chances are that you yawned after reading that. I didn't have to be physically present nor even know you are reading my blog (thanks by the way). Now if you are reading this in public and yawned, another person could have seen you yawned, thus creating a small yawning epidemic. Even blind people can be affected by the minute sound of a yawn! When you present your influence on a person, you are not just affecting the individual. You are affecting society.

Wow that was deep!

I'm going to finish a few more chapters then blog again!

Thanks, Ciao

584 Days

So I'm obviously no longer in Vienna, as a matter of fact it's been 584 days since I last blogged on June 19th 2008. I am going to start blogging again soon. about what you say? no clue, maybe the weather, philosophy, perhaps what i had for lunch (it was perini's). Anyways, I am off to the Iron and Wine Concert at the Paramount. Update coming soon.


As always, Ciao
