Jack Ma on ambition

People will always have their opinions on what is right and what is wrong. But this one coming from the major headliner of the day will carry some weight. Jack Ma is all about the news given the IPO of his firm Ali Baba that seems to set to break the record books.

The insanity that fuels our news

Once in a way there comes a article that should go viral. This is one such article that opens your eyes to social psychology and how we need to question what is being tossed at us in the name of news.

A must read and thank God that the freedom of the press allows it to hold a mirror to itself

Also. I haven't been too active on blogger since there seem to be visits but no comments. Do drop a comment to say hi, if you liked any post.
