My World View Today

We all live in the world where things are moving at the speed never seen before in human history.  Once I thought about how we come to this world.  By all means, we are creatures by chance or by choice.  Whether we are created or we come about on our own.  Theories about god creating earth and human are not going anywhere.  We all know that somewhere a million years ago.  There came human.  Well, they are not human like we are today but they are our ancestors.  About half a million years ago, there were a few human species.  Where did the rest go?  Why our specie survives?  These are the questions that would never be answered.  Not unless we invent time travel.  Even though some scientists believe that time travel is possible.  However, it might not be invented before the end of human race.

Enough said, we don't know how we come to this world.  How will we know what or when or where we will end up?  So there are things that human create to satisfy our anxiety.  Things such as horoscope, astronomy, and so on.  How these things happen to influence our lives remain unproven.  But people who believe fortune tellers will, however, do exactly what fortune tellers say.  That makes it easier to believe that paying fortune tellers would help.

I actually do believe that we human are capable of handling our own destiny.  I never listen to a fortune teller.  I never believe what they say.  Since they have absolutely  no idea what I do, what capability I have, and what environment I am in.  Unsolicited advice is another thing that I do not entertain.  So call me ignorant, or call me whatever you see fit.

At this moment, we all see world problems much faster than before with the Internet.  But we need to realize that those macro problems do not effect our micro environment.  We just need to worry what's ahead of us.  Not what's ahead of a nation or let alone what's ahead of a continent or the world.  So just leave International news alone and get on with your life.

European problem is set to happen years ago due to high tax, high income, high cost of living that could not sustain businesses.  Only country that is doing well is Germany.  The reason behind is that they try much harder to move up the food chain.  They create products that is desired for.  In fact, nowadays, Japanese could match most of their capabilities but still Germans are doing well.  I would not say that the rest of Europe should copy what the Germans do.  I think they should not bunch up together and tie all their destinies together.  They should just keep their currencies and create a bloc of trade.  But we all know what happened trying to merge a single big currency.  That single-currency prosperity would only benefit the strongest not the weakest.  What Greece should have done in my view is leave the Euro to reduce its prices/costs to make them competitive.  Once Greece is cheaper to do business, they could then again compete.  Otherwise, if Greece continues to be the way they are, they will continue to ask for help.

So what do we do with European problem?  I personally don't have any business to do with Europeans.  So I am fine.  My market outlook is for newer economies which are still strong and able to compete.  So we will do fine in most part.
