Each time we are online, we are subject to whatever communication arrives from whoever in the world has access to our email, IM, or TM address. “When you're online, you're always distracted,” observes Dr. John Medina, an affiliate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. Although initially we might want to refute the meaning of his observation, I conclude that it's entirely correct.

A story narrated by Robin Sharma in one of his books (Who Will Cry When You Die) reads like this. “Thousands of years ago, it was believed that everyone who walked the earth was a God. But humankind abused its limitless powers, so the supreme God decided to hide the godhead, the source of all of this potential, so that no one could find it.

One said, it could be placed deep in the ground, the second advisor suggested the bottom of the deepest ocean and the third one's suggestion was to put it on top of the highest mountain. But for God, none of these were acceptable, since God feared that it was within man's capability to dig the earth deep enough, to dive deep into the ocean or even attempt climbing the highest peak and finding it. After reflecting for some time, the supreme God found the solution. "I will put this source of all human power, potential and purpose inside the hearts of every man, woman and child on the planet, for they will never think about looking there."
