But that's not helpful. There was a saying on a bench, here in vancouver to the effect, that " You can't find yourself, you need to make yourself". But I suppose making yourself on a solid foundation requires introspection. I'm not sure where you are at but, eventually you will come up with answers/non answers and then watch your life pass you by. (similar to a stream processor) here's knausgaard.
"As your perspective of the world increases not only is the pain it inflicts on you less but also its meaning. Understanding the world requires you to take a certain distance from it. Things that are too small to see with the naked eye, such as molecules and atoms, we magnify. Things that are too large, such as cloud formations, river deltas, constellations, we reduce. At length we bring it within the scope of our senses and we stabilize it with fixer. When it has been fixed we call it knowledge. Throughout our childhood and teenage years, we strive to attain the correct distance to objects and phenomena. We read, we learn, we experience, we make adjustments. Then one day we reach the point where all the necessary distances have been set, all the necessary systems have been put in place. That is when time begins to pick up speed. It no longer meets any obstacles, everything is set, time races through our lives, the days pass by in a flash and before we know what is happening were are forty, fifty, sixty . . . Meaning requires content, content requires time, time requires resistance. Knowledge is distance, knowledge is stasis and the enemy of meaning. ".
I think the answers I appreciate the most, are the ones which emphasize noticing the world and the best parts of other people.
They have a lot of cash, no debt. Qnx finally has a beautifull gui. Still have contracts with chrysler group. Bunch of buildings, patents, and huge upside. If they can license Nokia maps, now that Nokia HW is out of the picture, bb10 will have satisfied my last complaint.
No fiscal discipline, and execution. Battery life on the new 5" phone is a couple days. Maybe the tunable radio helps. App gap is closing, unity ports, android, bloomberg is now on it. Maps suck. I don't know if they'll make it, aka survive, it is going to be close.
Edit,I don't know if the app gap is closing. But probably not.
I don't think that's bad news. But the markets disagreed and the price took a hit. It's been awesome to see the new management's discipline, should have cut earlier but they got the major planks laid out, new os, android run time, backend services, browser. Just refinements left. Employee count to revenue is getting good. 6 devices a year. Simple. And the new phone has the paratek antenna, this is going to be close.
I think opposition started with Scott Sumner in July. http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=22379
Very good news.
I expect to see the markets react tomorrow, ala balmer on a much greater scale.
I'm up in mackenzie brushing minimum wage, sometimes less, it is piecework; nothing like physical labour, to motivate yourself. We've got work till Aug 12. You will be stung by hornets everyday and we work from 4am till 3 PM. There is a significant cost outlay to get a brushing saw, so I don't recommend this job. 25 bucks a day camp cost. Treeplanters and brushers pretty chill.
Just in case you don't have enough hours for ei.
Edit-- also fathers don't really matter that much, for happy lives.
