Question Of The Week #48 + Announcement

Hi SCG,

Why On Earth Did We Let Money Rule Our Earth?

Hi SCG,

I have been bumping into money related books, articles, blogs and videos recently a lot ; And you might agree with me, that with approaching  spending festive season of Christmas, availability of money in our wallets is gaining on its importance.

Hiya SCG,

today’s shipment was inspired by Facebook status of my friend Prashant, which said this: The Better You Do, More They Expect”and this got me thinking. How is it with expectations? Is Prashant’s status update true or not? How should we deal with all those opportunities laying in front of us, in an interactive and connected age we live in? What shall we expect?
