The Asia Pacific Headhunter

A Quote for All Entrepreneurs and the All Blacks

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat.”  - Theodore Roosevelt

Well done boys, you didn't get the result you wanted but you gave your all and never gave up. That in itself should be an inspiration to all of us.

Nintendo to Release Brain Game in English

Nintendo have announced they will be releasing their brain-training game, "Brain Age" in English in a few weeks from now. The game has been really popular in Japan with the elderly. But I know that some of the studies behind the game itself were developed by a Japanese Neuroscientist, Ryuta Kawashima, and involve using Kanji (Chinese Characters) as brain training exercises. I am really curious as to whether the game will keep the chinese characters in the English version or will move to English words.

I looked really seriously at using a DS for my GTD lists but there still isn't a Personal Information Manager available for it. Since my GTD system is pretty tight I don't need too much. So it is disappointing to see that Sony with the PSP and Nintendo with their DS haven't thought about providing a PIM for their portable game systems.
