Google Makes Mistakes
Today, Gmail suffered a pretty big outage. People all around the world were really affected by this, especially those that use Gmail for business purposes too. I was in the middle of sending an email when this happened. The almighty Google made a mistake.
Of course, the king of outages is Twitter. But you know what? People still use Twitter. And people won't stop using Gmail just because of today's outage. Because these are tools that people value.
Think about what you are working on. Is it something people will value? Then don't be afraid to make mistakes.
I was watching Batman Begins today and the phrase that stuck with me was: "Do you know why we fall? So that we learn to pick ourselves up".
Make mistakes. Pick yourself up. Learn from it. Create something of value.

That's a really nice, inspiring, and uplifting post. I think your blog is among the 'things of value' you have created. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Deep! I really like it, God has ways of creating value out of something that has no value at all!

I think this happened the same day I wrote the post. And about Twitter, I've written about it before. Check out my Twitter page here:
