For the early part of my technology career, keyboards were the only user interface available. Even with early machines like the  Apple   II and the first   IBM   PCs, it was keyboards-only. But in 1984, Apple's Macintosh introduced the graphical user interface and mouse to a wide audience, and a whole new way to interact with a computer was born. Us old-timers took a while to get the hang of digital desktops and mice. But eventually, using them became second nature. Today, pretty much all of our computing devices use some form of graphical user interface with either a mouse, a stylus, or a user's finger as an input device. (Voice-activated gadgets like the  Amazon Echo  aside.) But after over three decades of mouse-and-keyboard computing, we're on the precipice of the next major advancement in user interfaces: Virtual and augmented reality, or VR and AR. Taken together, VR and AR are on track to become the dominant method of computer interaction within the next 10-1

When most of us think of flow at work, we may think of charts, project plans and deadlines. But there is another kind of work flow that is incredibly important, especially for entrepreneurs. Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi popularized the concept of “flow” in the early 1990’s. According to his theory, flow manifests itself when a person’s natural skills align with the challenges they face. When people operate outside of their flow, problems arise.  For example, if an individual works in a highly challenging environment in which their natural skills are outclassed, they tend to experience terrible anxiety and stress. Conversely, if an individual’s advanced skills are wasted in an industry that is neither interesting nor challenging, boredom and apathy quickly set in. In the world of business, this situation occurs when an individual’s natural skills and proclivities are simply not a fit for the career they chose. That’s why I believe that finding the right

“Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.”   Obi-Wan Kenobi When it comes to working in Hong Kong, the employment market is our galaxy, and we, hopefully, are the stars within it.

It's evident that new launches and sales of residential projects took a hit as a result of demonetization in India. The National Capital Region (NCR) was the most affected - demand contracted 29% and supply was down 73%. Launches in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) plunged 53% and sales were down 26%, according to a report by Knight Frank. Deals have come to a standstill as both buyers and sellers wait for clarity. Source: Knight Frank Research Before demonetization, however, there had been consolidation in the real estate sector. Driven by stagnant property prices over the past two years and interest rates cuts, home sales across top eight cities in the country in September 2016 jumped 15%  year-on-year .
