Quotes

In your day-to-day life, you come across various quotes / statements / phrases etc. that you want to remember / save somewhere. Previously, I used to save those in a text file on my computer, and when there were sufficient of them, I would post them on this blog. Sometimes, if by coincidence, I am writing a post on some topic, and am able to fit in the quote in the post, I would do that. Sometimes, I used to write entire posts around few phrases.

But now, with twitter, all it requires is one tweet. No more accumulating statements for future and no more pains of halfheartedly threading a story around phrases. (My tweets can be seen in the left sidebar of this page as well)

There is this interesting link about the statements that have been most highlighted by Kindle users. One of them is from The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. It goes like this

"When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you"

I have been one person, who keeps telling friends (just the close ones), what they should / shouldn't do. So, this resonated very well with me. And hence the post. Well, another one of those posts around one statement. May be the last one (?).

PS: Though I am still following the 3G auctions (though not as closely), I am very surprised at the kind of valuations the spectrum is seeking for itself. It has also led me, being somewhat less sure about my circle-wise analysis, and so have kept that on the back burner.
