KONG - iNote

KONY 2012 (by invisiblechildreninc)

The first film of this type make me wanna to cry (kind of a documentary film)

The first time I heart someone said that It rather die than stay in the earth.

The film shows me, how we can spend our life to do something meaningful.

Still, Life in Africa is so cheap.

A good cause, I gonna join them. But wait, I’m not a trendy guy. How do I know these things real?

The Guardian, the second popular online news in British, are investigating the real story, check this post: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/reality-check-with-polly-curtis/2012/mar/08/kony-2012-what-s-the-story

It seems that some people criticize this campaign because of it Hollywood style viral movie and how donated money is used.

The effect of this campaign is so large, so much money is spent only for campaign’s activities. Some does not like that.

To me, if this campaign makes the youth become a better person, the campaign has positive effect.

And for Kony2012, don’t make people lose faith.

Anyway, the film is worth to watch.

True artist and her fans:

If you cry when you sing, or make others cried, you are singing from your soul.

Dan Ariely asks, Are we in control of our decisions? (by TEDtalksDirector)

Great ideas for making decisions:

- In a so complex, so ambiguous situation, we really don’t know what to do, we just pick whatever is already chosen for us. Example: check if you don’t want to donate, raise your hand if you disagree… 

In life major decisions, do we follow the mass? University: hate school but have to get  a degree, what if not? Job: hate your bore job, but have to stay in office 9am-5pm for salary, what if not? ….

- when we don’t know what we need, what we prefer, we are influenced by external forces. Example: subscription of Economist, having a dumb choice (print subscribe for 125$) beside (print + internet subscribe for same price) makes the later become fantastic. Fantastic is intentionally designed force. Another example: (check video) a normal guy looks much more attractive when go with a ugly friend, than go alone.

- When we design our world, we forget that human have limitation in mentality.

The opposite:

When you want to say “yes” say NO, when you want to say “no”, say YES

Let’s consider the opposite.

Be brave, whatever scares you, go for it…

(via Derek Sivers & George Costanza - The Opposite)

Hồ Chí Minh - Ẩn số Việt Nam (by royalhau)

Đói nghèo, bị áp bức là vấn đề hệ trọng nhất của đất nước. Cả cuộc đời HCM chỉ dành để tìm ra cách giải quyết vấn đề đó. Một sứ mệnh - một đời người - một huyền thoại.

Óc tổ chức vĩ đại khi từ 1 thân 1 mình, ông có thể xây dựng được một quân đội vĩ đại. Cách đi vào quần chúng, làm thế nào để những người dân đen, cùng khổ, ko biết chữ, lại đứng lên dưới một lý tưởng chung.

Các viết tuyên ngôn độc lập: Chúng tôi chỉ cố gắng làm như các ông (Hoa Kỳ) đã làm. Các ông thấy có vấn đề gì ko?

Hãy đi thật nhiều và trải nghiệm.
