*There is a quote attributed to Albert Einstein which is commonly given as : " Everything should be made as simple as possible , but not one bit simpler " , that is , " make things as simple as possible but not simpler " . That concept , often tied to " OCCAM ' S RAZOR " is very powerful when looking at new theories and models . The process when applied to social business is very useful in understanding social in the enterprise .*
* + +* *OCCAM ' S RAZOR .* * What is Occam ' s Razor ? It is the law of parsimony , economy , and succinctness . It is a principle urging one to select among competiting hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect . The principle is often summorised as " other things being equal , a simpler explanation is better than a more complex one " .* * Occam ' s Razor is attributed to the 14 th century English logician , theologian and Franciscan friar Father William of Ockham although the principle was known earlier . Occam ' s Razor is used as a heuristic ( general guiding rule or an observation ) in science ; in Biologist ' s use Occam ' s Razor is in the context of evolutionary biology ; in medicine , when discussing Occam ' s Razor in contemporary medicine , doctors speak of diagnostic parsimony ; in Religion , in the philosophy of religion Occam ' s Razor is sometimes applied to the existence of God ; in literature and writing , Occam ' s Razor has been recommended as a measure of how good the plot of a novel is .* * + +* *Three C s of Social Business .* * The two key levers that can be applied to socialize business are Content and Community . There is a missing element beyond content and community , that is critical for building complete enterprise social strategies . This third element is Collaboration .* *Collaboration : This is , people or organisations working together to accomplish shared tasks / goals , facilitated by the effective combination of communication , tools and processes .* *Content : Content in the social context is most often social media , although it can take other forms aswell . Social media is a mechanism designed for sharing through social interaction and using the internet as a highly scalable and highly accessible platform for distribution . The socialization of media democratizes content creation , and information access .* *Community : most often manifests itself as a social network .* * Collaboration , content and community are the building blocks of social business . Each of these elements can be combined to create functions that support some social process .* * * * Some websites specify that you must make the Choice to take the Chance if you want anything to Change ... that is , you must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change .* * Three C s of a Model in a business model which offers a strategic look at the factors only by integrating these three C s -- Corporate , Customer and Competitors .* * * * We can see different C s in various spheres of life -- * *Financial Planning : success really has three C s ..

However , Compassion , Connection and Conviction are the three C s required for Peace .* *Psychological hardiness . : Psychologist Dr Salvatore Maddi claims that it is our level of psychological hardiness that determines how we respond to the pressures of life , which includes coping with sickness . Known as the three C s of hardiness , they are Challenge , Control , and Commitment . These key characteristics of successful coping have been evaluated in a variety of demanding settings ranging from businesses to battlefields and from schools to medical clinics . Seeing a problem as a Challenge mobilizes our resources to deal with it and encourages us to pursue the possibilities of a successful outcome . Control : In a tough situation people strive to gain control of what they can by going into action . Commitment is the third C of hardiness . Being committed to a goal helps us overcome occasional losses of motivation and to remain steadfast in our eforts .* *Writing powerful content : whatever you write follow the three C s and you ' ll have the magic formula to engage your audience . Clarity is a beautiful thing if you are confused when you write . You can ' t expect people to follow along with you . Before you begin to write , jot down your purpose and main message . Consider your theme and a real - life example to include that helps to bring some message home . Be Conscise , simply make your point and be done .

Under the International Diamond Grading System , to objectively compare and evaluate diamonds , it is essential to have a universal grading system for comparing their qualities .

Precision is crucial in diamond industry because even a fraction of a carat can make a considerable difference in cost .* *Colour . Diamonds are valued by how closely they approach colourlessness -- the less colour , the higher their value .* *Clarity . As diamonds are found deep within the earth , under extreme heat and pressure , they often contain unique birthmarks , either internal ( inclusions ) or external ( blemishes ) . Diamond clarity refers to the absence of these inclusions and blemishes .* *Cut . Cut is the factor that fuels a diamond ' s fire , sparkle and brilliance . The allure of a particular diamond depends more on cut than anything else .* * Besides all these 4 C s , there is another C nowadays in the case of diamonds -- that is Certification . Diamond Certificates describe accurately the quality and characteristics of the diamond .* * + +* * Having explored the depth of C s in various aspects and spheres , it ' s time to explore ' within ' .. within our lives .
