The concept of trust and belief

how do you know that your spouse or partner
loves you? This is the concept of love which
is based on trust. Trusting that the other loves me.

how do you know that your parents are your pareents?
This is the concept of belief. I virtually know
no one on this planet who has (if lived together
almost his / her entire year until adulthood)
has ever run a DNA test to scientifically prove
that his/her parents are in fact his/her parents.
This is the concept of belief.

Now those two concepts build the fundament of
deep human relationships. And - they share the
common characteristics of being invisible.

So inherently, people trust and belief.
Accepting and understanding these concepts in
life are actually the first step of accepting a
greater being - God.

God is invisible. As deep human relationships are.
Of course a human's physical appearance is not
invisible. But what is more important when it
comes to relevance and signifance?

Love, trust and belief.

So accepting God shouldn't be that hard.

problem solving according to Khosla

In a podcast Vinod Khosla said the following

"take a big problem
add the smartest people
the power of ideas
entrepreneurial energy
and a bit of capitalist greed "

i just love this. And what is really phenomenal is
the second thing he said

"Try and fail
but don't fail to try.
In fact there is almost anything
that is impossible, you just have to
try hard enough... keep banging until you
get there."

i guess thats why Silicon valley has become
stronger than any other region in the world

he also cited (i forgot his name, some former
chief computer scientist at Apple) this:
" the best way to predict the future is to invent it.
I would go even further. It is the only way"

"The world does not work from the top down.
it works from bottom up. We need innovation
that relevantly scales in a distributed fashion"

Reminds me of what Ray Kurzweil said about
breakthrough innovation that grow at a rate
where even the logarithmic curve kind of looks
really steep .
