Innovation = iPod$?… @#$% NO!

Innovation is all about improvement. That is what real innovation is. A newer, better, improved way to do something, whether it’s for everybody, or just you. You can innovate something but it will almost always be an improvement of something else.

That is the perspective I believe in, when it come to something like innovation. But I’m not just saying that you can’t come up with completely something new which has never been done before, which adds something for yourself or humanity in our everyday lives. Any one personal is capable of that.

But, what is important is the process of how to get there. How to start thinking about it. Don’t just look around and eliminate what is out there already and cross it out on your list, that’s the first and biggest mistake. You need to take what’s out there, fuse them, cut and paste ideas back and forth, narrow it down and make it your own. Then if that works for you first, then there is a much greater chance of the idea, product or method, etc. becoming widely accepted and used. Rather than if you think it will work for someone else first.

If you need an opinion, don’t as a stranger nor should you look at it in that perspective. Ask your family, and or friends. That is the true better way to get an answer, which will really work to perhaps help improve and or finish what you are doing.

That to me is innovation, that is what creates the drive.

These plants according to unlike some media analysts, are not on the level of what the Chernobyl was. Chernobyl had completely different type of system failures and operators.

Japan is reacting properly to the media by not allowing the noses in this situation whom don't belong there; I really think that the people at the TV news studios just are starting to learn about this stuff while also sharing it with the public. For that reason alone really they should have no say in this the way they do; and to just leave it to the professionals. It's just a joke what and how the media reaction is to this. Even tho they bring in some professors, people from the field and etc. These people are not there right now, and are just helping the media speculate the situation beyond control by drawing conclusions when they should not.

I believe in the freedom of press, but with responsibility. Which the media does not use!

Next. Japan is already working with U.S. officials on this situation. U.S. have already bought in nuclear and situation specialists from the military, government and private/public sectors to aid Japan with this situation; including General Electric.

It is not right for the media to demand information which they and the people cannot understand with the procedure at hand. Most of the media analysts and professionals they bring on live are already calling it the end-game where they are telling them selves in a fantasy situation, that this is now the time to pour concrete and sand bag the whole situation. That is speculating beyond worst case scenario right there.

Thanks to the incredible people in Japan, they are behaving incredibly diligent, wise and swift. They are not throwing senseless questions to waste time, energy and lives. They are trying to control the situation with cooperation to the officials/professionals and the government. Making it easy to move in the right direction

To add, reason why the Russians poured concrete on the site was because the fail safe systems did not work at any level, nor was their nuke plant build in any safe way. It's not the case here, where reactors can drop into their own dug out pods as the last real resort and etc. In Ukraine it did not drop; plus that plant was built nowhere near the standard plants is in Japan. So the Japanese are not on the final solution. The media makes things look way beyond what things are as usual and that's a problem with this, because they just do it to feed the viewers imagination and speculation which people love; and not the reality.

I'm not playing down this whole situation there, in-fact I have loved one there in Tokyo right now! And I really don't appreciate how the media is drawing out this situation and behaving very unprofessionally in general. I hope to see the safe end to this as soon as possible. I also understand the risks and dangers that have come about with the situation of the released radiation levels, and etc. After all I do have a loved one there, whom I'm worried sick about! So I would ask the media, and the people to not speculate which just makes things worse, but rather ask ourselves as to how we can assist to help this situation improve.

Too much of Yang is no good, it causes unrealistic behavior, bad direction in markets and fools people to become reckless in times when they should be weary and steady focused. Yin is always there and must be, to remind us of what the reality is; but in this case it's not as exaggerated as what people are feeling and worrying, but again there is nothing wrong with that.

Market sentiment from what I can gather is still overall positive and confident in the stability of the system. I also strongly believe that the government has taken precautionary steps currently in place, and relief efforts taken following the market crash almost two years ago, are running effectively and they are still.

While the fundamentals are improving and not without hiccups. I believe that the economy is headed the right direction.

Many analysts put in place a big question everyone is now asking, as to what may be the real reason that we could crash again. And that is if markets just gained back too fast too much? My answer to that is, absolutely not. I would argue that with anyone.

First of the very people who are putting forth and pressuring these types of questions and doubts are the very people who cheered driving the markets up. But cheering is not driving, and these people knew what was to become of the markets when they were cheering from the bottom and banked on it really well. And now they want to use the same lottery ticket to win twice; well guess what! That crashed ship has sailed and it isn't coming back!

But the most important thing to know and understand, is to accept why the markets came back so fast and hard; It's because world does not move at the same pace as it used to a decade ago. Technology is incrementally advancing, making it possible for incredible financial innovations, capabilities and logistics. Everything around the world is tied up to each other and we depend on each other more than ever to make things right and forward. We can't lets a few media analysts destroy the sentiment and allow the people following them to talk it down.

Markets are stabilizing. What happened to our and world economy was like the earthquake in Japan, recently. You will still feel tremors after the quake; and yes there is possibility of it happening again; and that future is certain. But don't steal a bomb and blow it up in the water calling it a tsunami! And, that's what the media analysts and some of the market followers are trying to do, just to bank in on the whole thing again.

This is not going to happen anytime soon, it will take years before the markets top out. But we cannot let the people drive our momentum, use your own sense, trust you. Why bears do what they do? because they can't make money going up, they can only start from a certain bottom and follow, never lead. At the end, I look at all what's happening because I see this just as a rough way of market stabilization.

Warren Buffet also always says it best...

"I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years."

"Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it."

"The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves-and the better the teacher, the better the student body."

"Today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn't. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value."

From what I can gather on what she is telling me, the city is mainly operational economically, however many businesses are closed, or have limited services. Public transportation’s has been halted for extra security and precautionary measures for extended secure time. Areas which have been hit directly have suffered from complete destruction, to major damages in infrastructure. Many areas from the earthquake and floods from rural to metro areas are impacted severely, but they will be rebuild. Most important thing is that many people have been saved, but never the less tragic of one too many losses of any human lives.

Japan over the decades has set forth strict rules for building codes, logistics and operating standards for many of the things in their infrastructure. This has been well paid off with the unfortunate recent events, as many of the hard forced rules have proven responsible for saving so many lives. Again, our condolences go out to those people and families that have lost one too many family members and people they knew.

Economic strength of Japan is going to stay intact, due to its immensely strong integrity; of both fundamental and integral established standards. I believe that Japan is going to get through this emergency with great efficiency and speed; with several things attributing.

First Japan has the largest naval force in the far east, capable of great mobilizations on sea. Giving the ability for incredible emergency logistical control of the waters. Next, Japanese population has one of the largest financial savings rate in the world, as well as the government [even though their massive government debt exists it's not something I would worry about in the long run, because running on debt is the oldest economic trick in the book to save more money on the side]. So they can and will afford all the necessary and extra help they need for the recovery and rebuilding.

Several serious emergency situations have also raised as a damaging result of the earthquake and tsunami. Most important is the damages sustained by their nuclear power generators. So far up to 5 damage effected plants have been reported. Once or more of them having major malfunctions issues with cooling systems failures and radiation leaks. I believe that the necessary precautions are being taken to the full extent, and all proper diversified resources are being attributed to this major emergency.

Japan has proven the shape and form, a country of its size and power has to be in to be able to react to something like this, in this fashion. People of Japan most of all deserve incredible credit because of their immediate vigilance, integrity and support of each other. The government has overall done an incredible job of sustaining all of the situation and have relatively kept the people calm and responsive. Although some have doubts of their under reporting reporting of the nuclear power plants situations, I believe that they are doing everything according to proper systematic procedures.

With all hope and prayers on their side, everything will resolve well and soon.
