A contented person with a whole heart, who has never doubted for a moment that she is loved by God and the universe, should not bother trying to succeed as a creative entrepreneur. She should get a job working for someone else, turn it off at 6:00 PM, and come home to the people who love her.

Only a restless, broken heart can drive you to do what is necessary.

And that’s how to succeed in business without really crying.

Aber auch im Vergleich zu den amerikanischen Anbietern müssen sich die europäischen Keimlinge nicht mehr verstecken. Die Qualität der Ergebnisse wird zusehends auch in den USA angenommen wie eine Umfrage des Webportals Lifehacker zeigte. Dort erkundigte man sich nach den besten Personensuchmöglichkeiten weltweit. Das Ergebnis aus Usersicht kurz gefasst: Spock, Google, Facebook, Pipl und 123people.

Es sollte sich wohl jeder selbst ein Bild der verschiedenen Anbieter machen, ob eher Such oder Communityansatz, ob übersichtlich oder unstrukuriert.

That’s probably one of the reasons why I really think that GE’s announcement today that they invest 6 billion dollars into it’s healthcare branch over the next years is superb. Meaning that they’ll try to force preventive medicine with more affordable CT scans, ultra portable Ultrasound Gears or by implementing some nifty Health/IT gadgets. I am not really sure of how one can call that – is it a marketing initiative, a branding thing, an actual strategic investment?

I am a littel bit affraid that this is only a Marketing Thing, but after watching the press speach of GE’s CEO Jeff Immelt I now think those guys really have some bold and great plans. Following up the Ecomagination campaign several years ago, GE sees it’s main competences and future revenue streams in Green Tech and Healthcare. Other than that almost the entire (Wannabe) think tank on the planet thinks pretty much the same, they are actually doing something and get their hands on.

Let’s see what this announcement acutally brings to a specific patient’s life in the next years. I’ll try to pursue this and hope it’s not only words, but a real deal.

P.s: The twittersphere like it as well. And kudos to the state-of-the-art GE online Marketing Dept, which actually put a real life person in charge of managing it’s twitter account – that’s what it should be.
