nice quote..
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely. --Leo Buscaglia
4 Must DO Tips For Success
1. Prepare Your Mind.
Your environment, or perhaps the place where you live and work, has much more of an effect on you than you realize. Two cases to illustrate this. When people live in an atmosphere of cleaning fluids and polish, it’s been shown to make them considerably more tidy and clean. This is reliable research.
Another thing that researchers have shown us is that if you have pictures of modern art on your walls, it forces people’s creative juices to flow more freely. Now personally, I can’t stand modern art, but the researchers have found that the subliminal effect of it does make people more creative.
Just as a quick aside, a friend of mine many years ago in England, an accomplished artist, was giving a showing of his work. He really was superb, but there was one picture there entitled; ‘Figures In The Fog.’ It consisted of a grey wash, with three darker grey stripes in the middle, representing a husband, wife and child.
I said; “John. How do you have the cheek to put that old rubbish up?”
“Shut up, Mike,” he hissed. “Two people want it and the bidding’s up to seventy pounds!” Now that’s creative — in its own way!
2. Watch Stereotypes.
Research has also shown us that people exposed to words and pictures can be influenced by them. A group of young people were shown pictures of elderly people, together with words like ‘frailty,’ ‘old age,’ ‘illness,’ etc. It was found afterwards that they walked considerably more slowly.
Another test was for a group to imagine people who looked intelligent; professors, academics, etc. Another group was told to imagine soccer thugs. The ones who imagined the soccer thugs scored much lower on the I.Q. test.
3. Go Green!
It’s been an established fact for years that people heal more quickly in hospital if they have a view of nature outside their window.
In another study carried out over eight months, it was found that if potted plants and flowers were introduced to an office environment, the creative levels of both male and female employees rose by 15%.
4. Make The Connection!
When we see an example in life or nature and apply it to something completely different, so arriving at a clever solution, that’s creativity at work at its best. Examples would include, Velcro, cats’ eyes on the road and the sewing machine.

Rishi Chandra of Google was nominated because he represents the next major step in Android’s evolution: HD lifestyle. Google TV launched with a whimper but could be a big bang by next year.
Peter Chou of HTC was nominated because he leads the company that continues to release industry-leading devices. HTC started the superphone era early this year, and continues to push the boundaries.
Cyanogen of Team Douche was nominated because his team’s ROM’s and innovations made rooting hard to pass up. Whether you have a Nexus One or G1, there’s a good chance you’re running CyanogenMod.
Ralph de la Vega of AT&T was nominated because his decisions affect how Android performs on nation’s second biggest carrier. Friend or foe? Who knows, but the decision affects Android in a big way.
Mikael Hed of Rovio was nominated because his company produced Angry Birds, the year’s biggest game. The Finnish business exec. is directly involved in something that crosses millions of screens each day.
Sanjay Jha of Motorola was nominated because he led one of Android’s most prolific and controversial phone makers. Motorola has big sales and makes moves that affect a large group of people.
Omar Khan of Samsung was nominated because he helped the company bounce back and deliver its best year in Android yet. Samsung became the top Android seller in the U.S., thanks in part to Khan.

Andy Rubin was nominated because he runs the show at Google HQ as it pertains to Android. He started the whole thing and continues to steer the ship on a daily basis.
Rohan Shravan of Notion Ink was nominated because he showed how Android can make a small player get into the big game. But is the little start-up that could good enough to be called APOTY?
