The first time ever I heard your voice....

Sometimes we see something that is so awful or so wonderful that it just stops us in our tracks and fills us with either horror or wonder.
Today's MBMG Update is the latter.

Nothing to do with finance, the economy, investing, Friday's big dip on Wall Street, the collapse of the Eurozone or any of that stuff that is so inappropriately referred to sometimes as just noise.

The following clip is to do with noise but of a different kind - an 8 month old baby, born deaf, hears for the first time due to the technological wonder of cochlear implants. The implants are turned on and the baby hears his mother's voice for the very first time and you can sense the delight and wonder experienced by Baby Jonathan.

The clip is just 50 seconds long and I can't think of a better way to spend 50 seconds out of your day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDD7Ohs5tAk
