The Five Laws of Gold

  1. Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
  2. Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
  3. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
  4. Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
  5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.

How to Recognise Propaganda in Elections and Marketing

This educational video shows the propaganda techniques used in elections/marketing and how to evaluate them. The general techniques used are listed below:

  • Glittering Generalities
  • Transfer
  • Name Calling
  • Card Stacking
  • Testimonial
  • Plain Folks

Understanding these techniques is the first step in identifying propaganda techniques. The second step is knowing the purpose of these techniques. Most propaganda is used to persuade people into believing something, to do something or to buy something. The 3rd step is to get the facts. The 4th step is to weigh the facts against the purpose and technique. When evaluating propaganda it is good to get as many different points of view as you can.

Getting Things Done with David Allen

David Allen speaks at google explaining the concepts behind Getting Things Done(GTD).  He shows how to identify when you are off track and how to get back on.  One point that I liked was that we can only store a few reminders in our head.  We need to develop systems so we can overcome these limitation and juggle more responsibilities.  One of the most simple things we can do is to put reminders in places where  they will be noticed when required.  If you can do this properly you can let go of the task completely as you know the reminder will be in the right place when required.  This is a big stress release as we can let go thinking about the task but we can also let go thinking about the reminder.
