When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own–not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me.

by Marcus Aurelius (26 April AD121 – 17 March AD180)

So how will you deal with people today?

All the best.

Two thoughts came immediately to mind about the possible meaning of Bing:

1) Is this a clever psychological ploy to try and make us ‘Bin Google’

or

2) Will it eventually mean ‘Bin Gates’

I think I will leave everyone else to work this one out!
