On a hot sunny day, it rains, and you let it soak you. It becomes the high point of an otherwise planned out day. It’s the unplanned.

Your best buddy shows up at a planned movie-going plan, and you later go out for a fun bowling match. It’s the unplanned.

You plan a dense evening, but the show turns out a flop, so you leave and have a blast with your friends instead. It’s the unplanned.

The restaurant you spent hours deciding, has bad service. So you walk out and try a random restaurant which you end up loving. It’s the unplanned.

The world is full of serendipity. Don’t fight them with your planning.

Embrace.

It was perfectly possible to have found time to meet friends, but you didn’t. It’s the undone.

It was a beautiful shirt, you could have bought it. It’s the undone.

It was a good side-project, you could have taken it up. It’s the undone.

It was a superb rainy day, you could have taken a splash. It’s the undone.

It was a good pasta, you could have let the chef know. It’s the undone.

Everyday there are things that could have been done, but became the undone.

Do.

What all did you see today?

You helped a person pick their dropped book, but you didn’t see them smile back. It’s the unseen.

You tipped the waiter, but you didn’t see him bow and thank you. It’s the unseen.

You hurried past a person carrying his food, but you didn’t see that you almost made him drop it. It’s the unseen.

Your supposedly funny joke hurt someone, but you didn’t see the faintest of the expression he let leak on his face. It’s the unseen.

Everyday, there are things that you miss.

See.

You have 2 minutes to make an impression. Capture the moment. Be the person.

Once it has passed, the window has closed.

No one gives a damn. It’s the unsaid.

Nobody is going to tell you something, because you didn’t say anything. What is the response to not saying anything? It’s the unsaid.

Express when the ears are listening, the eyes are open and the sun is shining. What is the opposite of not expressing? It’s the unsaid.

There are a ton of things that nobody is going to sit you down, and teach you. It’s the unsaid.

Respect the unsaid. Say.

So smart. So handsome. So on-top-of-things.
So social. So helpful. So lets-do-this-today.

I want to be that person.

Because I am dull.
I am lazy.
I am slow.
I am not-so-doing-this-today.

Problem is,
I am me.

So-not-good.

But flip it over.
You be him.
He becomes you.
And the story is the same.

Everyone likes everyone else.

The power of You. Which is the Me.

You gotta express yourself to the world. Talk about things you want to talk about, do what you feel like doing and like people you like. The world is too busy, and if you don’t give out the right signals, you will never find the right people. Stop thinking what is right and just do. Soon what you do will become the right thing to do. Change the world!

Email. The killer app no one saw coming. (And still doesn’t.)

1. Your unique identity across the web.
2. The first notification system.
3. The first to-do manager.
4. The first note-taker.
5. The first social-network.
6. The first project management app.
7. The first read later app.
8. The first file transfer app.
9. The first backup system.
10. The first photo sharing app.

All that and more. With Email.

So Google buys Android in 2006 to clone the then popular Blackberry. Reason being they wanted control on mobile platforms, so that their services were not side tracked.

They quickly re-align strategy to copy iPhone instead by 2008. By 2012, they have spent more than 10 billion buying Motorola to have a patent portfolio and develop Android, still giving it away for free in *hope* of future profits.

Today, Android is great. But the two companies with a majority of the smartphone market are Apple and Samsung.

Samsung day-by-day threatens a move to another platform, or fork Android (like Kindle) with it’s own default apps, and a store for media and apps.

Apple on the other hand is still the platform where Google makes most of its money with advertising from the default search, in-game advertising, and dedicated native apps for most of its services.

So how did Android help Google?

Hell with you Google, you have no focus. What do you even intend to do.
