Benefits Of A Power Outage

The following is an email I recieved from my friend and team member in Egypt. During our work back in forth between two countries and across an ocean. We must wait out the power outage before we can communicate again.

Jana,
I read what you have said about the power outage in Egypt... you know what ? there are a lot of benefits from this outage :

- Gathering the family around the battery lamp enforce the family links 
- Enforcing the cardiac and the pulmonary system as you must use the stairs instead of using the lift ( my apartment is in the 17thfloor ) ,
and losing some weights too.
- Increasing other senses than sight , as touching and smelling and from what I see ,  we will evolve soon to Bats . 
- Increasing the faith part in our lives , when the power cuts off , we all say "Oh my God" ( I add "#$%@!" but not in front of my daughter of course ) , and when it returns back , we all say "Thank you God."


I can fill a glass of water in a complete darkness without falling a drop out of the glass , can you do that ?!
I can do it :D

I felt jealous when you said that only your lawyer and your colleague at work understand what is Passdown , I understand the idea, but I want you to explain it to me as you explain it to a 5 years old boy .

I consider myself as a part of your team and I don't want to feel that I am missing something.:)

Have a brilliant day and I will be looking forward to your reply.

Best regards.

*It's not that I do not think Sultan knows what Passdown is. I know he knows. I really have not told many people about it. I will be launching it in September then the world can judge the idea. It was more that when I had told my lawyer and this colleague at work, it was their reaction to it, that had surprised me. I spent two years telling people what DigiThin was and not one person had the reaction of more than " Oh that sounds nice" No one got excited about DigiThin. To see this reaction to Passdown, well, it took me back. It shocked me, it made me see that Passdown has the potential to be a real company that helps people. And with Sultan on the team how could it not be a great company? Someone who turns the power outage struggle into an opportunity for other advancements in life. I am moving to Egypt, I need to lose some weight!
