Marriage IS a fairy tale

You Are Here Now

TAKE A BREATH. Take a deeper breath.

Imagine that you’re 95 years old and ready to die. Before taking your last breath, you’re given a great gift: The ability to travel back in time—the ability to talk to the person who is reading this page, the ability to help this person be a better professional and lead a better life.

The 95-year-old you understands what was really important and what wasn’t, what mattered and what didn’t. What advice would this wise “old you” have for the “you” who is reading this text?

Take your time and answer the question on two levels: personal advice and professional advice. Jot down a few words that capture what the old you would be saying to the younger you.

Once you’ve written these words down, the rest is simple: Just do whatever you wrote down. Make it your resolution for the restof the current year... more »

1.“Find what turns you on.”
2. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing.
3. Know your strengths.
4. Fewer and higher quality.
5. Know what you like and forget the rest.

Game Dev Tycoon forces those who pirate the game to unwittingly fail from piracy

What happens when pirates play a game development simulator and then go bankrupt because of piracy?

That's the question asked by Greenheart Games, the two man indie developer made up of Patrick and Daniel Klug, who included a special surprise within hacked copies of their game.

(93.6 per cent of players currently running cracked copy.)

The Five Parts of Every Business

Roughly defined, a business is a repeatable process that:

1. Creates and delivers something of value…
2. That other people want or need…
3. At a price they’re willing to pay…
4. In a way that satisfies the customer’s needs and expectations…
5. So that the business brings in enough profit to make it worthwhile for the owners to continue operation.

t doesn’t matter if you’re running a solo venture or a billion-dollar brand. Take any one of these five factors away, and you don’t have a business—you have something else. A venture that doesn’t create value for others is a hobby. A venture that doesn’t attract attention is a flop. A venture that doesn’t sell the value it creates is a nonprofit. A venture that doesn’t deliver what it promises is a scam. Aventure that doesn’t bring ... more »

You don’t need every customer

Every well-read site gets comments. (For people like me who don’t let others publish comments directly on our articles, we still get plenty of commentary — just in other places such as email, Twitter, and Hacker News.)

Every app with a nontrivial number of downloads is likely to have comments, too, in the form of App Store reviews. This goes far beyond the app market these days, with stores like Amazon allowing anyone to review products and media, and sites such as Yelp that will publish anyone’s review of any restaurant, doctor, or church.

If you put yourself out there at all by offering a product or service, you’re going to get comments, usually anonymously and outside of your control, potentially inaccurate, malicious, or not credible, yet available for all future prospective customers to read.

Now, think ofsomething... more »

A New Google Wallet Merchant Center For Developers Is Coming

Finally :)

Some of the key benefits of new earnings reports are:

More timely, reliable reporting.
No more missing data or reports and no more delays! Earnings reports will also be available before you get paid every month.
More precise foreign exchange rates.
See the foreign exchange rate used with four significant digits of precision.
Detailed tax and refund information.
Taxes and fees are broken out into separate line items so you have more insight into every balance-impacting event.

Three big reasons I pulled my apps from Google Play soon fixed.

Latests news in mobile world

In a booming global app economy, United States leads iOS App Store revenue growth, while Japan and South Korea drive Google Play revenue growth

Over the past quarter, Google Play has achieved higher growth rates than the iOS App Store for both downloads and revenues. While Google Play reached close to 90% of the iOS App Store downloads in Q1 2013, the iOS App Store maintained its strong lead in monetization, earning about 2.6x the app revenue of Google Play. In comparison, the multiple was roughly 4x for Q4 2012 overall.

Parkinson’s Law

In 1955, Cyril Northcote Parkinson wrote a humorous essay in the Economist based on his experience in the British civil service. In that essay, Parkinson proposed what became his eponymous law: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

If something must be done in a year, it’ll be done in a year.
If something must be done next week, it’ll be done next week.
If something must be done tomorrow, it’ll be done tomorrow.
We plan based on how much time we have, and when the deadline approaches, we start to make Choices and Trade-offs to do what must be done to complete the task by the deadline.

Parkinson’s Law should not be considered carte blanche to set unreasonable deadlines. All projects take time—you certainly can’t build a skyscraper in a day or a factory in a week. The more complex theproject, the more... more »

The Not Knowing Path of Being an Entrepreneur

Lots of people who start businesses try to control outcomes:

- A vision for your business’s success.
- Goals to get you to the successful vision.
- Try to get the most productive day (out of yourself, or employees).
- Try to produce certain amounts, or hit certain metrics (pageviews, followers, revenue, sales).

Unfortunately, the ability to control outcomes is an illusion. This is one of the fundamental lessons I’ve learned in my six years of being in business for myself.

You don’t really know how things will turn out.

And this is OK.

In fact, it’s pretty awesome.

Sufficiency

Once, a powerful executive went on vacation—his first in fifteen years. As he was exploring a pier in a small coastal fishing village, a tuna fisherman docked his boat. As the Fisherman lashed his boat to the pier, the Executive complimented him on the size and quality of his fish.

“How long did it take you to catch these fish?” the Executive asked.
“Only a little while,” the Fisherman replied.
“Why don’t you stay out longer and catch more?” the Executive asked.
“I have enough to support my family’s needs,” said the Fisherman.
“But,” asked the Executive, “what do you do with the rest of your time?”

The Fisherman replied, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, and stroll into the village each evening, where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. I have a fulland busy life.”

Awesome G+ Trick!
I am sure allot of people are aware of www.googleplussuomi.com from +Jari Huomo and the rather awesome ability to be able to sort a profiles by best posts. 
The way it works is you grab your 21 digit code from your website address and add that to the following link:

http://www.googleplussuomi.com/timelinetest.php?googleid=117813201840208779548&sort=best

This is great but I personally find having to copy/paste parts of two url rather annoying. So I came up with this little work around. By using something called a "Bookmarklet". To use this just make a new bookmark, name it what ever you want but for the URL just add the following code:
