Takeaways from "50 companies that changed the world"

Hello, how are you doing...?

Recently came across a book called "50 companies that changed the world", which described the 50 America-based companies that created a huge impact during the 19th and 20th centuries...

It has companies you know such as IBM, Microsoft, Sony, Ford, etc... but it also had a list of companies that many Non-American people may not know...

But yeah, the book is about learning the nature of businesses and the issues that can occur when you want to give an impact at the International level

The common things that can be observed across some/all companies, in general, can be summarised as follows:

The basic trait: Common for all companies is that none of them kept on a continuous upward streak. Every company had its tough times which they had to face and overcome.

Value the employees: Some companies treated the employees to the highest level, with insurance, staff quarters, etc. and some even supported the education of children of the employees.

Discover your partner: Not all companies are a dream of a single person. Many formed as a group of partners, and there will be of course people who will have the same idea as you... You need to make sure that you find them.

Adapting to change: In the period of 19th and 20th centuries the Internet and computers are revolutions, and the companies that calculated the advantage earlier got the upper hand; the companies which didn't adapt quickly had to suffer losses and of course, when they realized it they adopted it very widely...

So that's it my friend, the potential observations from the book, and yeah, you can prefer reading the hard copy for the full feel...

Thank you for reading, and yeah, if you find it interesting, make sure you share your people..

Last but not least, if you also came across a book that you want to share us about, feel free to mention in comments, and help us reach the 'Eternal Thing'...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded... Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on... Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task - We may develop a bad feeling, - This can lead to frustration, anger, regret, grief... uff... Enough d

How can we become narrow-minded people without realising it?

In science, whenever we observe a novel event, we start sharpening our brains to decode it. We make a couple more observations related to that event, and try to get a reason for it. It was also the same with the previous generation of scientists. They observed various new phenomena and they gathered as much information as possible to get the accurate reason behind them. But there was a problem with the human mind. In the past days, when there was limited information at hand and more time was required for getting new information, scientists had to make the best possible theories (i.e., explanations) with whatever data was available. It was like a competition, where the scientist with the best theory would win. This "winner" scientist, should be able to explain the data from future experiments with the theory. Consider that, a new experiment happened later, but the results were not explained by the theory of our scientist, then the theory was to be changed, and again the compet
