Tipping Point to Six Degrees of Separation

 

I got fascinated by the word tipping point which I had used in my previous post. So I have started reading the book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference  by Malcolm Gladwell .

I have finished reading the second chapter (which talks about connector,mavens and salesman ) and it seems a good read till now .

I used the tipping point word sometime back in the post and then I researched the word as I liked the word and I found the book. My curiosity went up for the book and I decided I am going to read the book. Incidentally my friend had this book but it took me a few weeks to get hold of it . In the book they mention six degrees of separation which I think most of us might have heard states that everyone is connected to everyone else within six links.After reading about six degrees of separation , I got interested about it and I found another book Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age. In effort to get more about this I searched it and I found the movie Six Degrees of Separation which I plan to watch now.

Tipping Point -> The Tipping Point ->Six Degrees of Separation->Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age ->Six Degrees of Separation (Movie)

This too got covered within six links !

The note

A dream untold resting in sleep
a bright picture lying in dark to weep
Warm blood splattered on cold wall
a big room filled with people looks small

so much noise in silent residence
natural expressions replaced by pretense
providing with answers abound
but right question yet to be found

what forces one to end something so dear
something hard to understand ,never clear
it has got to be love , they say
work they say is the reason in play

so many reasons to die they will give
but only reason to live is to live
says simply the note
that the dead had wrote
