Welcome

I have decided to start a blog to share my thoughts and ideas. I tend to have a lot of ideas and questions, and would like to share my perceptions about issues I read, think about, and/or see.
Anyone born into an English speaking language, or has been involved in an English society, may have heard that philosophical question:
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Well, I don't want to be that tree in the forest that may or many not make a sound- I want to express my ideas and thoughts with whomever want to read and think about them. I may not know or see you; but I know that someone out there, has heard my view.

Brands that Replace Common Words

Some brands build such a brand leverage, that they become synonyms for what they are. Some times you hear people call for a brand rather than what the item actually is. This is very hard to achieve, but if achieved, your brand is positioned in a unique way- it becomes a generic term used in everyday conversation, it basically becomes its function.  In all, the product name is adopted into the language, especially in English. Once this happens, it is very hard to compete against a product like this. They will most likely have a significant amount of the market share.    Successful Brands that Become Synonyms for Generic Terms Kleenex : Have you ever heard someone say "pass me a Kleenex" rather than using the word 'tissue'?
