The Daily Mail has a great recap of some points in a piece titled Why China is the REAL master of the universe.
Take off those pink tainted sunglasses and breathe that info in. Some excerpts:

Impressions After My ‘Elite Retreat’ Trip

Random Stuff About Me
| Blogging, General Rants, Life Happens | 4 Comments |
I didn’t have a topic staring at me today, and didn’t exactly have time to write up a reserved topic for later.

Be Your Own Judge Before You Give Up
| Business, General Rants, Life Happens | 1 Comment |
Here’s a snippet from Seth Godin’s post on “the forces of mediocrity“:

| Business, Life Happens, P2A, Web | 1 Comment |
I’ve been neglecting the blog lately, definitely not a good thing.
The last few weeks I have been consumed by planning for the near future, while trying to catch up on the bureaucracy of doing business.
I don’t have a person to help our with clerical or finances at the moment, which means maybe a third of [...]

Catching up with Childhood Memories, Classmates
| General Rants, Life Happens | 1 Comment |
This is a photo of my middle school class, 5th grade back in School 128 in Tbilisi, Georgia. If you don’t know me that well, that’s where I was born and raised until in 1991 at the age of 12 my parents emigrated to USA.
I have most of my fond childhood memories from there and [...]
