A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Wednesday, July 19, 2006. Oh, Vanity Fair. I would recommend to my reader, the book Vanity Fair by William Thackeray. The mix of personality is wider in. The pool of opportunity smaller and the people out to take advantage of the opportunities correspondingly more dangerous. I’m sure such sharks swim in. Streams, but they do not trouble my deep resting there. Posted by Mohammed Talib. Saturday, July 15, 2006. I perceive that it is the sum of his actions, some d...

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Wednesday, April 26, 2006. It's an odd sensation that has been building up for the past 6-8 months for me, and in hindsight I can see the wide range of influences that are pushing me to consider this as a course of action. Language is just one mean of expressing yourself, and in a way I feel a bit over compartmentalised and deficient, that I don’t have the ability to employ what is perhaps the most primordial and powerful method of human expression. Turn up, bl...

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Over time this fascination lapsed. I stopped the academic study of history, got enthralled by the more sociological and meta-historical purpose that authors such as Jared Diamond or Paul Kennedy saw in the tapestry of history. The many histories of many places compiled together to reveal history’s response to. I am drawn towards the Antiquities, the history of the ancient world as we so scantily know it. The power of. And the assassi...

http://motalib.blogspot.com/2007/02/introduction-to-american-law.html
A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. An Introduction to American Law. My first real brush with American law was Lawrence v.

I’ve also started slowly investigating for myself the creation/evolution debates (deserving a post of its own later) and as part of that I read the re...

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Tuesday, January 10, 2006. The current principle is a simple one of the art of persuasion, and I would not think myself remiss to say that it is the most fundamental one. The idea is simple, and has been said in a famous quote by Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations that I have used previously in my meandering scribbles. It goes simply:. While I was previously condemning. But it subtly demands greater things of us. It requires a sacrifice of the ego, an aban...

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Monday, March 27, 2006. What power does it have over me and what are its effects? I would know before I would trust Franz Ferdinand, Mozart or anyone in between with so much influence over my life. It is not in my nature to accept things that just are, that are beyond my influence or control. I enjoy them only tangentially and then in brief bursts. Posted by Mohammed Talib.

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Saturday, June 24, 2006. The End of Electronic Ties. I find it interesting that the usage numbers are so low, because in fact I have about a hundred odd people on my contact list, the majority of whom somehow at somepoint I needed to talk to, but the reality of the situation is that while we may be on each others lists, there is very little chance that we will ever talk to each other again. What I should do with my contact list? Posted by Mohammed Talib. After ...

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Friday, December 23, 2005. The final strand, the one that inspired this piece, and is the major realisation, is that there is an intellectual component to the person-reading process of the second stage. It embodies the constant question: Why is this person giving me this information? What information are they looking to convey? What reaction from me are they trying to seek? What information or response do they really want? Posted by Mohammed Talib. Ten feet bel...

A Fire to be Kindled. Words Are All I Have. Thursday, February 16, 2006. I’m starting to adopt a no-nonsense attitude to life. Life is a rough and difficult place. Every day every thing you do will throw out a challenge at you. Even to do nothing is a challenge to yourself. I know people who are chronically unable to do nothing. And I think it’s a useful ability to have. To sit and wait, to endure. I’m also beginning to. Posted by Mohammed Talib. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). And I feel its going down,.
