As people approach the middle of their lifespans, what do they usually think about?
Can’t speak for others, but I think about my mortality and legacy. Have I made best use of my god-given abilities? Is there anyone to carry on my work/name?
Destinations
“What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination.”
Zig Ziglar
Seasons
Spring has its hundred flowers,
Autumn its many moons.
Summer has cool winds,
Winter its snow.
If useless thoughts do not cloud your mind, each day is the best of your life.

More lessons
Learnt something valuable at our company’s team building event a couple of days ago.
- When working or competing against other groups/departments, never assume that they have the same objectives as you – even if they are in the same company as you.
- What’s valuable to you or your team may not be valuable to others.
Making the wrong assumptions cost our group some valuable points during the exercise. However, in real life situations, the consequences are likely to be more serious.
Lesson
Learnt another valuable lesson from my mum the other day.
The basic gist is that we should tackle everything we take up with full attention – “heart”. If not, why bother doing the thing at all?
Miracles can happen!?
What we accomplish in a day depends upon the way we approach our tasks. When we accept tough jobs as a challenge and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen. When we do our work with a dynamic conquering spirit, we get things done.

Asus EEE Note
Another mouth-watering development in the ebook/tablet world. This time, a new 8″ touchscreen-based LCD tablet from Asus boasting a resolution of 768X1024 (2540dpi) and feature 64 levels of greyscale. For me, the most amazing part is that the touchscreen support almost 256 levels of pressure, potentially able to replace writing with pen and paper, all for the price of US$200! Exciting times ahead indeed!
Change direction
A small but nice gem.

Android Honeycomb preview
Awesome is how I would describe Honeycomb, Android’s latest version designed for tablets.
Eagerly awaiting for my tablet to arrive so that I can get a taste of the Android magic…
The promotional clip of IBM’s Xoom is pretty impressive too, except the real features seem to buried beneath all the hype.
