999 business ideas
because my blog here is predominantly a business blog, it only makes sense that i post more about business items. how u can further improve ur life either by starting a sideline or improving urself such that u're more commercially viable.
today, i would like to share with u a resource created by seth godin. u gotta love how he spreads his message. anyway, SAMBA is the six month mba course that seth started, and u can read more about it here.
one of the best posts i've seen there is Hamster Burial Kits & 998 Other Business Ideas. it's really a pretty cool idea, to have some minds sit down together and come up with their own 100 business ideas each and then compile it into one huge list!
i'll think of my own 100 for now. will post it soon! and if u've got ur own to share, please drop me an email so that i can link to u as well!
Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture
This is one of the few Youtube videos that I would recommend spending 76 mins to watch. Randy Pausch gave this lecture at Carnegie Melon University on 18th September 2007, and passed on 25th July 2008.
(Read more about Randy Pausch.)
Watching the lecture, I realised that facing death really brings a person back into focus on the things that really matter. Have you ever read "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom? It's a fantastic example of the lessons learnt from dying people. Facing death gives people a fresh perspective, a clearer view of what really matters in life.
And actually, it's all about personal fulfillment! Making sure that you have fulfilled your life's goals or at least made a valid attempt at them, having absolutely no regrets left before passing on.
Yes, I'm only 26. Dying of old age will probably take quite a while, but hey, there are so many other things that can kill you! So why wait for it?
Enjoy the video clip! Make your life count for something now!
