The Principle of priority -You must focus on what is important and not urgent. This quote I randomly picked up from, where I cannot remember now. But the moment I read it I picked up the significance. Did you? If you did not read the quote again. PS: apparently origin of this traced to Stephen Covey the author of the book "The seven habits of highly effective people". In the first instance it seem there is something wrong with the quote. And it feels like rubbish advice. But

Some time ago, I wrote about leading and following. That there are two groups of people in this world. Sometimes, we behave as leaders, and sometimes as followers. I considered myself a follower than a leader. Never did I bother to ask what is best, or atleast I couldn't choose one over the other as both had positives and negatives.

Prejudiced reader At last I kept my hands on this novel by Herman Melville written about two centuries ago. The famous book about a whale by the name. There was a great resistance for me to hold the book in my hand for years. I can remember there was a copy somewhere in the shady corners of the house, but I never bothered to pick it up when my eye caught it occationally. Now I know where all the resistance came from.

Why and where do they exist? They exist in variety of forms. Sometimes, they are at the workplace like bullies. Sometimes they are commenting on your post. Sometimes they stand up when you present a scientific paper and ask dumb questions, not to enlighten themselves but to make you feel uncomfortable.

Thales of Miletus is a Pre- Socratic Greek Philosopher, who famously said the origin of all the matter is water. He was famous for many other things, and among them few fascinates me the most. Fact 1 - Earliest known polymath. He is one of the earliest known polymaths. Philosophy, mathematics, astronomy were his main subjects of interest and had made significant contributions to each. When someone is majoring not one but three developing subjects, it would have profound effec
