sonofjanohon Malcolm Gladwell: Is free the future?

If the publisher gets the $26.99 that makes the book free from the author's point of view although I really doubt that Chris Anderson is not getting his share.

sonofjanohon The Way I Work: Matt Mullenweg

One should sleep whenever he/she's tired.

Anyone who has the luxury to choose what to do with his/her time is extremely successful or at least happy.

And also the quality of sleeping is more important than the quantity. No point sleeping 2 more hours if you feel rested and rejuvenated after only 4-5 hours. And again, lucky is the one who can get to the "office" at 4 AM or 1PM whenever he/she is awake and feel like working...

sonofjanohon Why it's expensive to be poor

I always say: to make a man out of your child spend half the money you're spending on him and spend twice the time with him. (not my line but liked it)

I also think that money for eradicating poverty would be better spent on scouts who can spot people or groups or communities worth being helped instead of helping them all.
