Communications

I was thinking amount the massive change taking place in the US of A with Obama taking over as the president come Jan 2009. I also had a chance to ruminate on the role of communications in terms of making or breaking personalities ... obama won most people over with his strong communication skills while George Bush lost a lot of his support with his policies but also his communication skills (or lack of it ) .. I am listing a top list of all of George Bush's statements (or misstatements ;=) ) .... hope you have a laugh ... have a good rest of the week and focus on what you mean to say rather than what you end up saying .....

AH... THOSE HISTORIC STATEMENTS

 

a. "The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country."

b. "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

c. "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'."

d. "I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."

e. "The future will be better tomorrow."

f. "We're going to have the best educated American people in the world."

g. "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

h. "We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."

i. "Public speaking is very easy."

j. "A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

k. "We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur."

l. "For NASA, space is still a high priority."

m. "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."

n.  "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

o. "It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."

COVID & The Making Of A Vaccine (460 BC till 1823 ; A journey through Greece, China and England)

There are around 70+ companies working on a vaccine for COVID-19 (Corona Virus) right now. It’s quite interesting to note that we have only ~22 vaccines available around the world .. for example we don’t have vaccines for malaria, Nipa virus etc but do have treatments for them. I was quite curious on the concept of vaccination and decided to research and see what’s up with this. Aided by wikipedia and research on the internet, I think it’s a very interesting history to the evolution of the vaccine.   THE GREEK CONNECTION   In fact the seeds for a vaccine probably started from 460 BC when a noted historian and writer (Thucydides) saw that some people became ill from the plague which was prevalent then and recovered and could tend to other sick without falling sick again.   THE CHINA CONNECTION   Fast forward to the middle ages and Plague, Smallpox were the major diseases which ravaged the world and at one point 1 out of every 3 were d...
# value # inspiration # newyear Just a bit of trivia, December got its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC which began in March and we have entered a month named after the Roman god Janus, an appropriate personification of the start of the new year.  This particular Roman god Janus had two faces so that he could look ahead toward the future and back at the past at the same time. As we get rid of an old year and look forward to a new one, I hope we can all try to be a little like Janus. We know through experience what we did wrong and what we did right, and hope to do better this year.  Many of us make ambitious new year resolutions while people like me just take a deep breath and hope for the best.…Here's wishing you and your family a happy new year 2020
