  1. Anyone seen this before...? "This has to be the best illusion ever created. If you look at the above images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr. Angry is on the left, and Ms.Calm is on the right. Get up from your seat, and move back 12 feet, and PRESTO!! they switch places!! It is said this illusion was created by Phillippe G.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow .... Does this prove that we sometimes may not be seeing what's actually there?
  2. Mind-blowing car commercials that employ optical illusions and jaw-clenching stunts instead of computer animation are becoming the norm these days, and Honda joins the crowd in its latest European commercial for the CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC Diesel. http://dai.ly/x164f5t In the advertisment, the Japanese carmaker uses well-placed props and well-drawn imagery to trick viewers into seeing the 'impossible'. Cool. http://dai.ly/x16ia8m Now watch how they make it happen in an exclusive Behind-the-scenes video.
  3. Any bros know where is this place?
  4. Had to say this after reading a thread about the rich and poor in our nation and how education affects your chances of ending up in either state. My controversial but honest take... Education is just safety chute. If your main parachute doesn't open, at least you have a safety chute to depend on. But whether or not your safety chute works the way you want it to is another thing. One thing MUST be said. Working for others is one of the worst ways to try to become rich. It is statistically proven - throughout the developed world - that being your own boss increases your chances of making big bucks. Of course being your own boss carries greater risks than having a "stable" job. I say stable with quotation marks because I believe that that stability is only an illusion for employees cause I believe you can't really be safe when your financial well-being depends on someone else other than you. Right now I'm at it on my own. I'm at the beginning throes of my start-up and I know i'm burdened with a high level of risk as compared to my peers who graduated with jobs. I've had friends and family tell me things like: - "You've got good overseas qualifications, studied more than most people sure can get high starting pay one. Why go risk it?" (My housewife auntie actually told me this). - "Just get a stable job first. Think about business ideas later. Don't rush into things when you're young." (Friend) - "Most businesses fail one leh. So many friends I know failed already. It's very hard to make these days esp in Singapore (Friend #2) I never took their advice. Why? They're all employees. Why would I take business advice from people who never tried to start something on their own? Some successful relatives and friends who own business say very different things when they hear about me starting out on my own: - "Starting business? Mmm. Good. Must work hard." (Uncle to owns a few market stalls with pri sch education, but now owns landed property with 3 cars). - "It's going to be hard. Most important thing is you must have focus." (Another uncle who's doing quite well.) You can tell the difference in attitude. One play safe, okay can oredi. The other side's realistic about how hard it is but never say "don't try". My philosophy is: I'm young now. Got significant savings and money from good decisions when I was a teenager. So I must give it a shot. If I fail, i've got my education and youth. May not do as well as peers but I won't starve. Sad thing is, in the past people had less education and hence less to fall back on. But they were so much more gutsy. Today? So many of my peers are graduates but they've lost that go-for-it attitude (i partly blame our country's lack of safety nets for this). And my opinion to others who snigger at me when I don't do well (IF things don't turn out the way I hope)? I dare to try. I'll never have to say "if only..." when I'm older. If I fail, i'll try again. And again, and again, until I know time's running out and money's all gone. Money isn't everything to me. It's whether I dare to try to be as happy as I can be. If I end up as an employee ten years down the road after failing, I'll still be happier than if I never tried at all and end up working in an office anyway even with higher pay. So if you wanna make it rich, start out on your own. If you're working for someone else, chances of you being rich is very remote. And your job is not truly stable because you being employed depends on another person. If you throw a stone into a crowd of wealthy folk, chances are the person you hit owns his/her own business.
