The Purple Cow



If you have money you can make the ghosts and devils turn your grindstone. But since I don't have money, at least not the amount I would like to have, therefore I just apply myself to writing blogs.
Sighting of ghosts is a rare occurence these days, but I'm sure the devils are out there somewhere masquerading in many forms. All you need is a little imagination to see these sinister creatures. Maybe that was why Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge.
Speaking about imagination brings me to the subject of this first posting which is The Purple Cow. Maybe you think it is about Seth Godin's book on how to transform your business by being remarkable. But since I don't have any business of any kind, therefore whatever Godin has written in his book would be pretty useless, as far as im concerned. As such, the chances of getting the ghosts and devils to turn my grindstone is like sighting this chimerical purplish bovine for real.
So while you can never spot one, you can always read about some other purple cows. Here is one, written by Gellet Burges:

I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one

Salam Shirzad,

A purple cow eh? That would not be the same one which jump over the moon, would it? Or, the one that now has an aversion even to the spelling of C-4? lol!

Welcome aboard, bro! Can I announce you to my friends at my blog? :)
