A male brain is about 10% larger than the female brain and has 5% more brain cells. That sounds like good news for men but the female brain more than makes up for its disparity in size in other ways. Out of all other comparisons that are being made between the sexes; we will focus on whether women make better marketers than men! Seems like a difficult judgement to make, your opinions are most welcome, make your case in the comment section. Men are stronger, does that count? Men are stronger than women, generally, strength-wise that is. And therefore men were supposed to earn the bread for the family; while women being soft, kind and empathetic were good with things that requires something other than strength. While men, assuming inheritance of

While I spent quite some time thinking & reasoning out why Derek Redmond did what he did in 1992 Summer Olympics, it also occurred to me that this is what winners do to win and so he did too. Days over days, its happening to me that I wake up with this event in mind when he chose to finish the run even with a hamstring snapped. Who is Derek Redmond? Derek (wikipedia page) broke the British record for the 400 meters with a run of 44.82 seconds in 1985. Won many Gold and Silver medals in his career; though he is great and known for something more than athletics. See this short video Doesn’t this shake you? Who won that 400m race? Here are the results for Men’s 400

Before we make or assume anything out of Coca-Cola’s Anti-Obesity ad campaign, lets watch this 2 min video aired in America. Why are they doing this? The commercial, which is four times as long as a standard 30-second TV spot, Coke advertises low-calorie versions of its drinks and stresses that people are getting fat from their sodas. The World’s biggest brand Coca-Cola is acknowledging the country has an obesity problem, but these commercials gloss over the fact that calories from soda are worse than other calories. Even when they’re apologizing for that, as they appear to be doing here — they’re still selling them. I am sure Coca-Cola spends huge in these campaigns because it gets them sales. And this time if the sales shoot up

There are hundreds of social media tools out there vying for your attention, but few do a great job of defining what they actually do. Some are similar to one another and compete with each other, while others have zero overlap and can supplement each other. Of course determining which tools are right for you requires a clear definition of your objectives, but without knowing which tools do what it is impossible to know which tools will meet those objectives. This post shall not remain valid forever, as tools evolve
