Give so much time to the improvement of yourself
Monday, December 7th, 2009The earlier post title was how to run your life
This one is “Give so much time to the improvement of yourself” – what a great follow up
It is the first part of Jim Rohn’s quotation
Give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you don’t have time to criticize others
The legend has passed away .. The passing of a legend
Have compiled a list of 7 _inspiring_ Jim Rohn videos
how to run your life
Thursday, October 29th, 2009We’re not here to tell you how to run your life when it comes to exercise, but just a minute or two a day can make all the difference.
btw
- Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals Turned Me ( Natalie Portman ) Vegan , Natalie Portman reinforces stereotypes about loony veggies by ‘equating meat-eating with rape’
- SAP India president Ranjan Das passes away – From The Mission – This is no boxing match, kid. There’s no referee to stop the fight. You throw in as many punches as possible before they finish your game.
- HFMD came home!!!
Do Something
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
For the first time in human history, the number of hungry people worldwide will exceed 1 billion this year
There are also a billion online users today (including you) able to help like never before! Let’s make a difference!
**
Due to an unpostponable appointment, I will miss The Singapore Launch of Gurcharan Das’ magnum opus The Difficulty of Being Good: On the subtle art of Dharma
From wikipedia
You need two things: you must have the hunger for success and the desperation to achieve it. It’s as if your life won’t be complete until you succeed. That fundamental discontent has to be there. Got it?
In life, action is more important than thought
Freedback for 2Do
Monday, October 19th, 2009Wishlist for A Stunning ToDo List 2Do from @guidedways
- bug !? – “Show Done in ToDos” is OFF. Done is also not shown in the “Done” view
- Sorting Options: new “Alarm Time” – Why.. When there are many in 1 day, by due date is not useful!
- Let me sequence items within a calendar like the calendar sequence because priority is relative (The Taste of the Day)
- Badge counter – More options – Settings in calendar to include in count
- Like Today, provide an option to see Tomm or “Next 3 days” etc – Also, make it possible to move from today to Tomm and v-v
- move or replicate “Show Done in ToDos” from App Settings to Calendar Settings – Calendar settings could have a Yes/No/NA and take precedence over the App Settings
- Remove use of Reset in screens. Use Cancel only
- When I press Reset (again and again), take me to ToDo overview
- web based sync (and item creation) like Simplenote
- Etc: tweets from @_everaldo, @t87, @gadgetero
Can Fun Change Behaviour
Friday, October 16th, 2009What is the cost ?
The Fun Theory is an initiative by Volkswagen
Tell Me Why
Saturday, October 10th, 2009btw:
- In reacting to the news this morning that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize, the President struck a note of humility and recognized that the award was a nod to a vision of what is to come: Building a World that “Gives Life to the Promise of Our Founding Documents”

The cost of happy citizenship
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Over the weekend, I came across a tool to measure soil at Ground-Up Initiative
It seems to be a rapitest® Electronic 4-Way Analyzer
facebook is developing something similar for people..
facebook blog: How Happy Are We?
How happy will all of us be tomorrow, on our birthdays or during the World Cup? It depends on you and what you decide to share about how you’re feeling with your friends through your status updates.
me: If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, is there a sound at all…
Web Standards Group Singapore: Summary of Gov 2.0 Presentation
citizen defined : anyone who has thrown their lot in with us
People who look at Singapore simply as a stepping stone or springboard need not apply.
we all need to see that ultimately, a country is defined not by efficiency of governance, but the quality of her people.
me: nominate this article for ica.gov.sg
eaves.ca: closed border, closed economy, closing opportunities
me: mmm…
A closed border is like a closed mind – over time you become less receptive to new ideas or information and begin to atrophy
The Changemakers initiative aims to identify the leading activists, elected officials, authors, bloggers, actors and thought leaders who have the greatest capacity to spark change on issues of importance.

Egg Industry and Whole Earth Singapore
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009Emirates’ ad “When was the last time you did something for the first time?” is one of my favorite phrases
Today, I had lunch at Whole Earth located at 76, Peck Seah Street, near the Tanjong Pagar MRT station Exit A
Open daily : 11:30am to 3:00pm and 5:30pm to 9:00pm
No: Eggs or Leek or Garlic
btw – came across a page via @stevepavlina about the egg industry
Now.. Steve has even written a blog post Modern-Day Nazis and provides 4 options
..
IF you are interested in some serious egg related truth
THEN click on the following link and watch the video – Warning for mature audiences only !
ELSE
consider baking without eggs
..
ps: I did consider titling the post “I found yet another reason for avoiding eggs”
