I’m a creative person. I don’t paint with paint, but IT systems are my canvas. And I find creative solutions to complex IT challenges. Today I found the very creative solution by Doug Dietz.
See his creative and beautiful solution at 6 min 20 of this nice TED talk of David Kelly.
If we think out of our box, we will be able to find such emphatic and pleasing solutions for problems. Solutions with elegance and simplicity like that of Doug Dietz that want to make me cry of joy.
Finally I received an account from the website Habitualist.com. This is a site to track your habits. Besides my GTD which I track in NirvanaHQ for my tasks and goals, I will now be able to track and improve my habits.
I will report in a few weeks my experiences with this site.
This month after more than 3 and a half year I finished my assignment at NXP. I had a great time and learned a lot. The time has come to start at a new project at a new company. I want to thank all my ex-colleagues for the great time I had and wish them all the best.
To buy a book from my favourite writer Seth Godin without reading any reviews, just because it has a limited physical print?
Maybe, but We Are All Weird
sometimes it comes sometimes it goes.
If it goes you have to search for it again. Inspiration can be found in the little things like a mosquito flying in your room and annoying you. It can aspire you to also learn to fly or it can aspire you to be aggressive and hunt it down to kill it.
Today it inspired me to write this small blog post and to let it live for a while.
By being yourself. Everyone is unique, there was nobody before you just like how you are and there will nobody like you after you.
Standing out is your obligation to your uniqueness…
It was impossible to speak at a large distance, until the telephone was invented.
It was impossible to travel 100km/h, until the car was invented.
It was impossible to go to the other side of the world in a vehicle within 24 hour, until the jet airplane was invented.
It was impossible to find instant information, until the internet was invented.
Change your thinking and make the impossible possible.
Don’t count on it that you can please everyone in the world. It is better you don’t count on it. You’d better try not to please everyone, because that will be of a mediocre quality . It is better not to please many, and to produce the best and most honest quality you can. You can count on it that some will hate you for it, other will appreciate it.
Count on the people that love quality you can be proud of.
Deciding to act will give you fruits.
Some fruits might be bitter,
others might be sweet.
But not acting will give you no fruits at all.
Some just for fun parties like: birthday parties, mid-summer-nice-weather-BBQ-parties, fuck-the-economy parties .
Or some some long-term goal parties like: graduation parties, changing jobs parties, get-out-of-debt parties.
Have some fun in life and plan some parties.
by preparing, taking initiative, trying something new and take risks.
Opportunities need to be sought. You need to prepare for your opportunities by learning.
As they say, it is better to be prepared and have no opportunities than have opportunities and not being prepared.
