  Cherished Vs. Hated A very intrusive subject that once in a while everyone must have experienced it within their personal as well as professional circles. A lot must have been said & written on how to think and act so as to get celebrated, but in the times of universal deficit of truthfulness to self & others, it is equally important how to think & act so that one may not get hated for trying to lead a life based on values & virtues.

  GDP - Gross Domestic Product & Feasibility for Business  We keep hearing about the word more often than before, that is because even if the GDP of any Nation is calculated at a macro level, it always has & will have profound micro level impact on every individual.

Because all those business outlets were filled & stacked with goods that might be in millions of USD. What is the present day business model, that is making the said GDP keep ticking or grow?

But in reality, any action from anyone is most likely to remain circumstantial, it can be a totally different kind of situation that they must be going through & hence their actions may also remain unfamiliar to us. Yet most of the time we may end up responding to them or reacting from our past experience with them....
