For those who are lurkers, artists (and feeling artists), creative (and feeling creative), new startup founders, service providers, crazy ones, rockstars (and wannabe rockstars), confused, lazy to set personal goals, hate new year’s resolutions, rich and not famous, cool professors, afraid to start a new beginning, newly grads, about to get married but no job… [Read more…]
People hope for a fresh start when a new year comes. Some people who are in tough situations still deny the negative vibes and wishing for at least a little change in their lives. Optimistic people may still feel inadequate due to constant competition in their environment. The short-lived desires that are inspired by the… [Read more…]
It takes passion and consistency to work on your goals. Start small with a big heart and it will help you swim with the flow and not against the flow. The waves are high. The opportunities are limitless. But take advantage of making one step ahead of other seekers. Grow unselfishly by having connected with… [Read more…]
With the new “Like” button of WordPress, I decided reblog this post (published on March 15, 2009) for some of my friends who just started reading the book, Outliers. I hope you will enjoy my post. Thank you. I have not blogged about “Inside Steve’s Brain” book since I finished reading it last year. “Flip”… [Read more…]

More than a decade ago, when you ask some people from advertising agencies if they do handle events, they would proudly respond, “Nope, we only do mainstream”.

I was watching game 2 of Lakers and Rockets at the business lounge of Cathay Pacific in Los Angeles airport while chatting with friends on YM, updating my status in Facebook, Twittering about some interesting topics, microblogging about the game, and joking with my friend John about Ruth’s Chris restaurant along Flamingo Rd. in Las… [Read more…]

I must admit that I didn’t continue reading his other book “Tipping Point” not because it didn’t interest… [Read more…]

How can I forget about the multiple debates I personally got into since the year 2001 on using digital copy (if not by email) instead of hard copy?

Last week, as I entered my house and looked down to one of my side tables in my living room, I wondered how one of my favorite magazines of December 2006 issue got under it. As I looked, a snap list of ideas reminded me that it has been two months since I entered my… [Read more…]
Have you already watched the guided tour video of iPhone? The first time I watched the video on my MBP (or MacBook Pro) I almost wanted to throw away my Palm Treo 650 that I have been using for more than 2 years already. I have no complain about my Treo 650. In fact, I… [Read more…]
