A Bit Of Literature - The Burning City

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Last week I’ve learned a new trick in getting my soon to be three year old daughter to stop crying. Recently she started calling herself a “big girl”, so now every time she’s bursting into tears, I’m reminding her that she’s not a little baby anymore, and that only little babies cry. It works like […]

A Bit Of Literature - Never

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Have you ever wished to go away, somewhere very far, start your life anew? I’m sure most of us had dreamed of some new exciting adventures, or hoped for something not necessary thrilling, but definitely something new - new experience, new surroundings, new faces, something very different from the same old existence we call life.

A Bit Of Literature - Mr. Know-All

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

It’s been preached by many that the first impression is the most important factor that we should keep in mind when building relationships, conducting a business, going for an interview, presenting a web site or a business card.

How many of you have blogged on your birthday? Well, call it an addiction or a bad planning, but it is my birthday today and I’m blogging. In fact, I just checked to see whether I blogged on February 10th last year when Inspiration Bit was just in its infancy, and even I was surprised […]

A Bit Of Literature - Born Of Man And Woman

A Bit Of Literature - Zen Stories

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Today’s bit of literature is different from all my previous ones: first of all, it’s not really a literature in its common meaning, secondly, there are eight bits instead of just one. But each of these short Zen stories carries a wisdom that some other long stories or even novels struggle to express.
It’s Sunday, […]

A Bit Of Literature - Quality

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Last week’s post on DOs and DON’Ts of Branding has triggered a discussion about the content’s quality being more important than branding if we want people to keep coming back to our blogs. In an ideal world that would’ve been true, however unfortunately ours is far from being the quintessential one.

A Bit Of Literature - The Bet

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Since my very first bit of literature that started last year was featuring one of Anton Chekhov’s short stories, I thought that it would only be fair to start this year’s bit with another story by one of the greatest short story writers ever.
Despite being a professional physician Anton Chekhov made very little money […]
