Just my thoughts #0605

Some people live because of ‘doubt,’ others because of ‘confidence,’ and some because of ‘guess.’ Often, people make a living based on the positive factors we think of, but the opposite is also true. In fact, there are instances where positive factors threaten livelihood. Some people thrive on accuracy and certainty, while many live amid the unsettled and uncertain. The world is not always bright. There are many different ways to live and principles to follow. What do I do for a living? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0140

In September 1999, NASA’s unmanned Mars climate probe “MCO” exploded in Mars’ orbit. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin set up the data unit as a “yard,” but NASA mistook it as a “meter.” The MCO entered the atmosphere of Mars 100 km below the original orbit and exploded in friction. Communication error had blown away $ 125 million. With this opportunity, NASA decided that the units used in space development were “meters”. A slip of the tongue in business doesn’t end just a mistake accidentally. It must undoubtedly damage the “cash flow”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
