Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) What I learned from my late sister's battle with cancer
QUIETLYROMANTIC.COM -- To many of us, death is an abstract thing that we believe is so far in the future that it's not even worth thinking about. Maybe it's worth thinking about it. No man is an island, and your relationships are one of those few things that truly matter in this world. Give your family and friends a call. Because you never know when it's your last chance to talk to them. We live in a world where being overworked is almost like a badge of honor. [But] people regret working so hard that they missed out on all their relationships, just like that old song "Cat's in the Cradle". ...

Dr. Karim Lakhani on Thinking Together and Open Innovation | Ignition Interview
In this exclusive Ignition Interview with Dr. Karim Lakhani (Associate Professor at Harvard and Founder and Co-Director of their Laboratory for Innovation Science), he shares his insights on Open Innovation. When discussing Open Innovation's alignment with Hazar Imam's recent guidance on "thinking together" and "community wisdom", Dr. Lakhani remarks: Hazar Imam "is actually saying what we often say: you want to actually have this iterative dialogue ... But then also, as Hazar Imam himself has mentioned, the solutions may also in fact arrive from the Jamat. It's an interesting model of -- if the Jamat has the questions and Jamat has the answers, then what is the role of the institutions?"

The way we think about charity is dead wrong | Dan Pallotta
[H/T SAHIL BADRUDDIN] -- TED.COM -- Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world. This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page. ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
