Let The Life Of Steve Jobs Be Inspiration For Solving Mystery Of Cancer

A global gadget's tax

Steve Jobs could be having his last days with us mortals on Earth. His last battle...

Such an extraordinary man, such visionary, problem-solver, industry leader...

I wish there's somewhere in the World, visionary in the life science industry , working on fighting cancer disease and succeding. A man with pure passion and determanation to find a medicine for cancer.

The cure for cancer is more important then all gadgets and technologies of the World.
Life is every man's right. Health is every man's right.

All of us knew somebody who's having this uncurable disease. Healthy man and then suddenly he disapears...I've seen a lot of people around me who dissapeared just like that. It's astonishing.

Reminding all of us about cancer:

Cancer /ˈkænsər/ ( listen) (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth, invasion that intrudes upon and destroys adjacent tissues, and sometimes metastasis, or spreading to other locations in the body via lymph or blood. These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which do not invade or metastasize.

I have a proposal for the mobile and tech industry.
Let us Steve Jobs all remind about the strong determination, passion for technology and his personal battle for health, his personal battle for life.

Let every mobile phone sold in the World brings $ 1 - 3 of the selling price for the benefit of the account specially dedicated to cancer foundation for funding life science projects that are trying to find the cure for cancer.

Once and for all.

You can be billionaire or poor but what gives if your body and mind is attacked by such disease...

Steve Jobs ( R.I.P. ) once said:

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Old-Fashioned Gilts & Treasury Bonds

The U.S. dollar depends on this market

I am talking here about the collapse of the largest bond market in the world – the market for U.S. Treasurys.
The chart compares the value of long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds (TLT) to the price of gold (GLD).

None of the government's bailout plans will solve any of the problems. Instead of bondholders and shareholders being wiped out, taxpayers are put on the hook.

Satisfied Employee

It's not only about paycheck.

There is more to employee productivity, efficency and satisfaction than good money alone. Good bosses know this very well, and behave accordingly.
It's employee's right to be assertive on this counts:

- Work / life balance
- Time for family / friends
- Training & specialisation
- Fairness, cooperation and communication among colleagues
- Flexible hours
- Challenging tasks
- Job autonomy ( Power & influence )
- Highly professionalism ( quality performance )
- Days-off
- Feeling of control
- Changing things & making difference
- Seminars & workshops ( job related )
- Coolness ( product & services )
- Recognition & acknowledgement
- Room for creativity
- milestones for promotion
- Non - bureaucracy
- Well defined organisation's structure and worker's roles
- Random Perks ( free coffee, dougnats, fruits, snacks )
- Security ( retirment & health coverage, life insurance )
- Fair compensation - Money & equity & bonuses
- Manager's support
