    And I need your help :)

    I am collecting helpful & useful & other Google+ posts and I will transform these posts to an e-book.

    So do you want to see your own Google+ post in this book?

    I am collecting data here:
    http://www.googleplussuomi.com/projectbook/
    (or you can also use Google+ comments :)

    I need:
    Poster GoogleID (the 21 digit number, you know what I mean :)
    Link to a post (public posts only)
    Suggestion for a post title (optional)

    Feel free to suggest your own posts or someone else posts.

    Sufficiency

    Once, a powerful executive went on vacation—his first in fifteen years. As he was exploring a pier in a small coastal fishing village, a tuna fisherman docked his boat. As the Fisherman lashed his boat to the pier, the Executive complimented him on the size and quality of his fish.

    “How long did it take you to catch these fish?” the Executive asked.
    “Only a little while,” the Fisherman replied.
    “Why don’t you stay out longer and catch more?” the Executive asked.
    “I have enough to support my family’s needs,” said the Fisherman.
    “But,” asked the Executive, “what do you do with the rest of your time?”

    The Fisherman replied, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, and stroll into the village each evening, where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. I have a full and busy life.”

    The Executive was flabbergasted. “I’m a Harvard MBA, and I can help you. You should spend more time fishing. With the proceeds, you could buy a bigger boat. A bigger boat would help you catch more fish, which you could sell to buy several boats. Eventually, you’d own an entire fleet.
    “Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you could sell directly to the consumers, which would improve your margins. Eventually, you could open your own factory, so you’d control the product, the processing, and the distribution. Of course, you’d have to leave this village and move to the city so you could run your expanding enterprise.”

    The Fisherman was quiet for a moment, then asked, “How long would this take?”
    “Fifteen, twenty years. Twenty-five, tops.”
    “Then what?”
    The Executive laughed. “That’s the best part. When the time is right, you’d take your company public and sell all of your stock. You’d make millions.”
    “Millions? What would I do then?”

    The Executive paused for a moment. “You could retire, sleep late, fish a little, play with your children, take a siesta with your wife, and stroll into the village each evening to sip wine and play the guitar with your friends.”
    Shaking his head, the Executive bade the Fisherman farewell. Immediately after returning from vacation, the Executive resigned from his position.

    I’m not sure where this parable originated, but the message is useful:
    business is not necessarily about maximizing Profits.

    Profits are important, but they’re a means to an end: creating value, paying expenses, compensating the people who run the business, and supporting yourself and your loved ones. Dollars aren’t an end in themselves: money is a tool, and the usefulness of that tool depends on what you intend to do with it.

    Your business does not have to bring in millions or billions of dollars to be successful. If you have enough profit to do the things you need to do to keep the business running and make it worth your time, you’re successful, no matter how much revenue your business brings in.

    Sufficiency is subjective—how much is enough to continue what you’re doing is a personal decision. If your financial needs are meager, you don’t need that much revenue to keep going. If you’re spending millions of dollars on payroll, office space, and expensive systems, you’ll need much more revenue to maintain Sufficiency.

    The more quickly you can reach the point of Sufficiency, the better the chance your business will survive and thrive. The more revenue you generate and the less money you spend, the quicker you will reach the point of Sufficiency.

    Once you reach the point of Sufficiency, you’re successful—no matter how much (or how little) money you make.

    Another Google+ user is a real person, a lot like you

    So when we yell at a website or company, using our computer or phone appliance, we forget it's not an appliance, but a person that's affected.

    It's dehumanizing to have thousands of people passing through our computer screens, so we do things we'd never do if they were sitting next to us.

    It's too overwhelming to remember that at the end of every computer is a real person, a lot like you, whose birthday was last week, who has three best friends but nobody to spoon at night, and is personally affected by what you say.

    Even if you remember it right now, will you remember it next time you're overwhelmed, or perhaps never forget it again?

    Check your Google+ "Best Friends"

    UPDATE: API CALLS ALMOST USED, WILL STOP WORKING VERY SOOON :D

    Useless & experimental but maybe a little bit fun new site for some Plussers :)

    Check who have been giving +1s / comments / shares to your last 100 public posts most actively.

    1) Load site: http://www.googleplussuomi.com/mybestfriends/?googleid=110479310742964256734 with your own GoogleID

    2) Wait , wait , wait ... first load ever is slow. Refresh the page and you should see your 100 most active Google+ friends . It is again using my super secret algorithms , meaning my codes gives little higher value for comments and shares than +1's .

    And as always, it will work as long as my daily API limit is used :)

    All plussers are valuable

    I made a funny experiment and asked people to post their favorite plussers in this post https://plus.google.com/110479310742964256734/posts/Hw8BrbzKH5N and collected all the mentions to this page: http://www.googleplussuomi.com/mvp/

    But like my Timeline tools, not everybody found my creations funny at all :) "Hate these posts" , "New-way to self promote?" and other almost personal attacks.

    I think you are all valuable, but the max limit in shared circle is 500 so here are 428 valuable users selected by other Google+ users :)

    55% of these plussers have less than 8000 followers.

    Sorry +Daniel Sandstein , could not share your post.

    Wisdom from Gandalf

    Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay… small acts of kindness and love

    Gandalf - The Hobbit .

    Saw the movie today and I enjoyed it a lot.

    #nordiclandscapes curated by +Juha Kal

    While driving to grocery store today I saw a beautiful sky so I had to stop my car and take a few photos (over 30 minutes) . And my wife was quite amazed how my quick trip to shop could take so much time :)

    Is quitting Facebook the new "I quit television"?

    According to NYU assistant professor Laura Portwood-Stacer, who recently examined why people leave Facebook, how they communicate their rejection, and how their abstention comes across, quitting Facebook has become "a new, elitist form of 'conspicuous non-consumption,' on par with refusing television." 

    "Many Facebook refusers actually revel in their difference from the mainstream, seeing it as a mark of distinction, superior taste, and identification with an elite social stratum. This is consistent with (the) finding that families who chose not to consume television share a belief that they were iconoclasts, and for the most part, they relished that role"

    What do you think?
    My reason for quitting Facebook soon is that I just like Google+ more :)

    My first year of photography

    One year ago I had no knowledge about the meaning of strange words like shutter speed , aperture , depth of field , exposure or what are the strange numbers in my lens. Learning has been fun and I have taken thousands of really bad photos.

    Here are some of my favorite landscape & nature photos from my photography adventure :)

    One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. ~Dale Carnegie

    Another shot I took today while driving back home. Since I was not in any hurry and noticed some beautiful clouds & rainbow in the sky I stopped my car and grabbed my camera and enjoyed the view. And then enjoyed driving in heavy rain :)

    That's life, that's what people say.

    Shot down in May. 
    But I know I'm gonna change their tune,
