The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. – F. Scott Fitzgerald

How many taxicabs are in New York City?
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Here is the answer to a tough question I got in my Accenture interview:
| According to the comprehensive New York City Taxicab Factbook, published by the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission, as of March 2006 there were 12,779 yellow medallion cabs prowling the city.However, an additional 22,900 car-service vehicles, 10,400 “black cars,” and 4,200 limousines also race around the streets, re-enacting scenes from “Road Warrior.” So that makes more than 50,000 automobiles schlepping Big Apple residents from the Bronx to the Battery and back again. And yet, just try to find one in the rain.

Be Present. No Problems. Think. Create.
Saturday, March 4th, 2006
Be Present.
Stay connected to any moment.
No Problems.
Problems do not exist, it is how we react to situations, in which we create them.
Think.
Stop perfecting something that does not work.
Create.
Find a clearing to see the future, get out of the past.
BE. DO. HAVE.
