3 Things to remember about human nature

1. People are not malicious by default
2. People are self-centered, whether they behave as such or not
3. People are retaliatory

Items 2 and 3 can reinforce each other a vicious circle that would appear to contradict item 1. But this wouldn’t happen if everyone always remembered the 3 things. Then they could make a conscious effort to break the cycle.

I think this applies at the personal level and group level, regardless of culture, location, age, religion, etc.

No one is out to get you(#1), and if they are it’s probably because they think you did them wrong in some way (#2-3).

Please interpret this advise beyond face value.

Get Google Chrome

Do it now.


My Favorite Features:
1. The COMPLETELY integrated download manager.
2. Fast rendering from Webkit and V8.
3. Tabs run in separate processes (for graceful crashes & security)
4. Application Windows & Shortcuts.
5. The "New Tab" Window
6. The omni address bar
7. Task manager (especially the extra info for "nerds")
8. Search site-specific engines from the omni bar
9. Drag tabs out of and in to the main window.

*UPDATE
My Annoyances:
1. I miss my google toolbar with all my bookmarks (ironic, huh?)
2. Hulu audio doesn't work
