HAPPY BURNS NIGHT

“I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.”

If you are Scottish or have any links with Scotland you will know that tonight is Burns Night! A celebration of the life and times of Robert Burns celebrated all around the world on the anniversary of his birth.

“The best plans of men and mice often go awry”

“But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever”

“What signifies the life o' man, An' 'twere na for the lasses O”

“There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing”

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!

URBAN DICTIONARY PHRASE OF THE DAY

reality-distortion field

n. An expression used to describe the persuasive ability of managers like Steve Jobs (the term originated at Apple Computer in the 1980's to describe his peculiar charisma). Those close to these managers become passionately committed to possibly insane projects, without regard to the practicality of their implementation or competitive forces in the marketpace.

"A reality distortion field. In Steve's presence, reality is malleable. He can convince anyone of practically anything. It wears off when he's not around, but it makes it hard to have realistic schedules."
