A friend on facebook inspired me to write this poem:
What is destiny if one cannot see,
Contemplating fate is a malady,
What lies ahead waiting for thee,
Fate, but an uncooked recipe,
It’s hard to describe what we cannot see,
All I know is, I wonder about me,
Ignoring the pains, of uncertainty,
What is the will but an etched out plate,
How we write it, I think is called fate,
Is it a journey or just another race,
With no understanding of what to embrace,
Do we tailor our fate,
Or our fate, our destiny,
Caring for what we do,
If we’re good, then our fate will be too,
Fate does not choose what it presents to you,
But it’s what we do that sees us thru,
Or fate is only kind to a chosen few,
A fate worse than death,
For being bad; that’s what we get,
I’ve been there and back,
So I know the facts,
Take my advice,
Live life right,
Just do onto others, what you want done to you,
And that my friend's how, your fate seethes thru,
And therefore becomes your destiny too..

The Facebook lawsuit thats still pending!
Before he launched Facebook at Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg worked for two brothers on a project called HarvardConnect.com that also wanted to connect students and alumni.
Zuckerberg later left that project, and showed up with Facebook. The brothers claim Zuckerberg stole their code, and sued him three years ago. The brothers later changed their company’s name to ConnectU.
They’ve been fighting ever since, and all the while Zuckerberg and Facebook have maintained the suit isn’t going anywhere.
Accusing Zuckerberg, Facebook’s 23-year-old C.E.O, of stealing the source code, design, and business plan for Facebook in 2003 when he briefly worked in the Harvard dorms as a programmer for their own fledgling social-networking site, now known as ConnectU.
The plaintiffs have demanded that Facebook be shut down and that full control of the site - and its profits - be turned over to them.
What’s surprising is that this case hasn’t gone away. The stakes have only increased, now that Facebook is widely considered worth more than $1 billion, and as much as $8 billion depending on who you listen to.
Three years later, we’re still no closer to knowing whether he stole code or not. What code did write for them, and was he paid for? How much were these agreements in writing, how much of it was simply oral agreements?
The most likely worst case for Facebook: Zuckerberg and his investors will agree to settle this for many millions of dollars.
