590 Bookstore

Arguably I enjoy SNS like everyone else in this time. And recently I've got to find SNS as a bookstore only dealing with latest books for only a moment. It goes like this; if you enter the bookstore and find some interesting, intriguing covers of books saying something you would be attracted to, you can open the book and read the contents. And it doesn't take much time. You can open several different books and read the words for, say, 30 minutes or 1 hour. It doesn't take much of your time and energy. But if you are interested in a title of a book, but you don't feel like reading it right away, you will leave the bookstore, thinking you can come back later. Later, you come back and search for the certain book, only to find it has disappeared or has been lying under new, and numerous similar books that might also attract your attention. Then you have to struggle to find the book and then you feel like you should keep your eyes on the other latest books in front of you. The bookstore always has a lot of very interesting and necessary books which induce you to open the some of the books and spend some time. But soon after the bookshelf is totally changed and replaced, with the a-little-bit-old books being stored in the warehouse. The warehouse can keep all the books with unlimited capacity but at the same time more and more new books are issued and displayed in the bookstore. 

I use and enjoy and feel thankful to SNS of course, but sometimes I wonder how important for us to keep up with the speed and volume of information. One of the very successful, respected and marvelous investors of our time said there are two types of risks in investment; a risk to lose money and a risk to lose an opportunity. I feel SNS world is asking us similar question. Do you find it a risk to be drown in the sea of information, or to fail to have an important information that might change your life?
