Calvin — Telephone Ettiquettes

Having just finished a long session of chat (over the dinner table) discussing how people react to strangers on phone and elsewhere, I was pleasantly surprised when I recieved a forward from a friend showcasing Calvin’s Telephone ettiquettes. Sometimes I think, is it that God knows what you have been upto and sends you something right when you think about it? Or is it the work of some supernatural powers? Or is it just ME?? Or is it a simple coincidence? Whatever, it is … you go ahead enjoy the strips !

Worth a laugh …

Books and my wait for Kawasaki to arrive !

My unrelenting wait for the Amazon mail man finally came to an end when I spotted a bulky brown package lying near the house entrance. I must have been away when the courier got delivered. But anyways, that’s not the point. The point however is, why I was waiting so desperately for the package to arrive?

Well, to make a long story short … I have grown to be huge fan of Guy Kawasaki’s in a very short period of time. Its not that I haven’t had my heroes and gurus whom I admire, but there is something about Guy and the way he communicates that has left a deep impression on me.

Stay Hungry … Stay Foolish !

While rummaging through my Harddisk on a pleasant Sunday afternoon, I happened to locate one of the most inspiring pieces of audio I had. If you can relate to the title of this post, I am sure that you know what(rather ‘whom’) I am talking about.

Following is the Audio version of Steve Job’s Commencement Speech at Stanford (Read the Speech HERE !)

Special thanks to WiredAtom for making the Audio available.

If you are more like me and would like to actually watch Steve Job’s delivering the speech, just click on the video file below !
