40 more or less things I learned before 40

Make something.

People are greedy, they want now and more.

yep, SOS is Same old Shit

Religion is easy to find; wisdom, not so much.

What is the perspective of a whale?

To serve man, that is the essential problem.

Keep still.

Douglas Felt was correct, "your work in life is not your job."

Diversity breeds survival.

There is no such thing as false hope.

I was wrong and the mistake was not learning from it, again and again.

You will find Love comes in many forms. There is friendship and fellowship. Accept and reciprocate all, particularly if you have to drop off a ring at Mount Doom.

We are tested daily, most harshly by ourselves.

Memories change; make it memorable.

Kindness is underrated.

Effort before ability.

Guards against black and white thinking from chaos and disorder. Open your mind to color.

Curiosity is precious.

Be here now.

I dish out self help, better than I can help myself.

Procrastinate later.

They forgot to tell you, their example is two standard deviations away from the mean.

You have choice, the dead don't.

Sooner or later it's going to make sense to somebody, hopefully you're someone.

First a nudge, then we're rolling.

Yeah, yeah even villains have feelings and can cry, but save the tears for later.

There's always more for later...

TUAW predicts tomorrow's event: Apple announces new work

I found Chris Rawson's predictions humorously spot on, but the pessimist in me is inclined to lean toward Mike Schramm, the iPlank is a bigger, camera-less iPod Touch.

-same old LCD
-$799
-3G optional
-iTunes cloud connected
-iPhone OS 4, running my fav apps
-usual ebook, publishing savior, yada yada

What I wish:
-PixelQi screen

Mr. Jobs , I hope the last decade will prove me wrong.
