aisha2: His daughter won't stay on pause, she will grow up and he will grow old probably retired then, longing for attention then but there will be none because the bonding stage has passed. If fathers from that age will teach their daughter through acts of love like this that money is not everything and money can't buy her love. He could have bought her an expensive toy instead but he gave something more valuable his heart and time, this made me cry

#WORD !

A top international financier quit his job running a$2 trillion investment fund after his daughter wrote him a note complaining he had missed her first day of school, her Halloween parade and her first game of soccer.

Mohamed El-Erian's daughter wrote him a note complaining that he had missed out on 22 landmarks in her life because he was too busy at work.The California based investment guru resigned from Pimco, who have more than $2 trillion invested, after his daughter sent him a note outlining 22 milestones he had missed from her life.

After receiving the letter from the 10-year-old, El-Erian handed in his notice which was a shock to the investment world.In an interview with Worth, El-Erian explained his decision.He said,
'About a year ago, I asked my daughter several times to do something—brush her teeth, I think it was—with no success. I reminded her that it was not so long ago that she would have immediately responded, and I wouldn’t have had to ask her multiple times; she would have known from my tone of voice that I was serious.'She asked me to wait a minute, went to her room and came back with a piece of paper. It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments.

Talk about a wake-up call. 'The list contained 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade. And the school year wasn’t yet over.I felt awful and got defensive: I had a good excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, an urgent phone call, sudden to-do.'But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point. As much as I could rationalize it—as I had rationalized it—my work-life balance had gotten way out of whack, and the imbalance was hurting my very special relationship with my daughter. I was not making nearly enough time for her.

'El-Erian said he was spending far too much time away from his home while working for PIMCO.Since resigning, he said he and his wife take turns in waking up their daughter, preparing her breakfast and bringing her to school.He said he is also planning a holiday just for the pair of them.
El-Erian said instead of one, full-time position, he has taken a 'portfolio' of part-time roles which require far less travelling and allow him greater flexibility.He said that he even now had time to pick up his daughter from school.

Speaking to Bloomberg after his resignation, El-Erian said, ' I've gone through a transition after 14 great years with Pimco and I've put together a portfolio of part-time activities that I'm really excited about. I'm also really excited to spend more time with my family and my daughter.
'He later told Reuters, 'If I had known that there would be this media circus, I would've done a lot of things differently.'Was there a way of not going 100 miles an hour and maybe going 50 miles an hour? To be perfectly honest, I didn't explore that option. I never explored.' El-Erian said wanting to spend more time with his family is a cliche but he decided that his need to be a good father was greater than his desire to be a good investor.'He decided that he had to readjust his work-life balance in May 2013 after receiving the note from his daughter.

In an interview with Reuters, El-Erian refused to comment on his former boss Bill Gross, only describing the 70-year-old as brilliant.Since leaving Pimco, El-Erian has become the chief economic adviser at Allianz where he spends 50 per cent of his time.

Just Excellent i must say !

There's been news about Facebook as regards their plan to charge people for visiting/using the site monthly.
Well,its been identified as false with facebook having no plan whatsoever to charge its users.

An article on the satirical website National Report, which stated that the social networking site is going to charge its users $2.99 per month starting Nov 1 is fictional, media reports said.

"At a press conference, Facebook rolled out their new monthly service plan which begins November 1st of this year. The social media giant says they will start charging members$2.99/mo to use the services that the site hasto offer," the article read.

The article also used "made up" quotes from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Epoch Times reported. "After thinking long and hard about this decision, at the end of the day we were forcedto add this monthly fee. If we don't do something about our rising costs now, Facebook could cease to exist in the near future," the website quoted Zuckerberg as saying.

Later, the fake piece of information led people throng social media platforms expressing outrage over the article.Recently, the social networking website announced that they would add a 'satire' tag with their news feed for articles from parody news outlets like The Onion.
"This is because we received feedback that people wanted a clearer way to distinguish satirical articles from others," a Facebook spokesperson told Ars Technica website.

Well,a stressful and extremely tiring day would surely guarantee sleep no matter how bad the road is...

Good Development...Hope the Rest of the girls are released

FG should enable the girls visit the hospital - as a precautionary measure ( checking for diseases,signs of psychological trauma e.t.c)

Serie A doesn't pay as much as it used to...(The Salary Scale is at its lowest since 2009) The Good Old Days

Ashley Cole just moved to As Roma where he earns £35,000 a week compared to £150,000 he was receiving at Chelsea...
Plus thE Juventus team that pays Paul Pogba £23,000 has the best salary structure in The SeriE A

(The wages paid by QPR in the 12/13 season is only marginally less than that of Lazio & Fiorentina combined)

So,thats a fair pay for him i must say...

I think the Falcons would do well to add this to their trophy cabinet...

Same thing baffles me...especially mistaking 'Michael' for 'Micheal' which i see often

Greatihex: cnt you c wat she posted. E b lyk say na bk of tv she dy watch.

Greatihex: you shld go to d romance section wia u may hv sumtin 2 say. Leave dis discussion 2 real men.

Lol bro
Though i have seen ladies argue & discuss soccer better and more sanely than some men would...

safarigirl: Toure is an AM not a DM, just like Mikel is a DM not an AM. So, what's the problem?

I think Yaya Toure is a central box-to-box midfielder with majorly defensive responsibilities( So he's mostly a DM) ; You might think he's an AM because of the urge to score goals ( Alex Song was also a bit like that at Arsenal)

Emeka where art thou?

Simran94: pleas I just downloaded Gta Vice city and fifa 14 from 9games store but fifa 14 is saying I might not have purchased the game and Gta is just blank. what do I do?

I don't really know much about using ps3 pad for fifa but i know it might/should require root access
In any case,try searching 'Play fifa14 on Android using Sixasis Ps3 Controller'

The low memory issh ; are your apps installed on the phone memory or SD Card? Try selecting SD Card as default storage for apps....( using Link2SD might have some -ve effects on ur sd card in the long run so)

The Freedom am talking about is an app for bypassing app license verification ; Check HERE for the app

One thing to note though,using Freedom might cause some problems for your Playstore ; The solution to that is on this Thread

Search & Download LuckyPatcher(No Root) since ur not rooted instead of the conventional one...
