Os Guinness

From the moment we become old enough to talk, we have a desire for more in our lives. To be filled with something we currently don’t have. Os Guinness, the author of “The Call” refers to this as a longing to find our higher purpose (Guinness). A desire to do something more for our lives, something that benefits society (Guinness). He refers to this as our call (Guinness).

In Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles, William Shakespeare’s King Lear, Book 4 of Genesis, and John Milton’s Book 9 of Paradise Lost, each of the principal characters undergo a pattern of seeking truth, entrapment, and…

This though does not mean because Apple is not using social media and they are making lots of profits, that companies like Samsung, who use social media effectively, should stop using it. They are both huge companies and by doing things their own way, they are both among the largest mobile phone companies. In my opinion, I think Apple Inc. should have at least one main account (maybe on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram) where it can communicate with its users, find out what they like best about a…
