Seth just declared that June 14 will be Linchpin Day. It’s your chance to meetup with other linchpins in your area. If you read his books, do things that matters or just want to hang out, mark your calendar.

You can also organize the event yourself if there isn’t one nearby. Just go to this page and add your city to the list. For those in Kota Kinabalu, go here and sign up. Let’s make it happen.

In many games, due to the complexity and randomness of it, the winner is mostly determined by the one who makes the least mistakes. It’s a battle to reduce the amount of errors in your game play.

Similarly, unexpected things can happen in life so we are bound to make some mistakes. It is pretty hard to go against the Murphy’s law so it’s alright if you screw up from time to time.

But I don’t we should care all that much about mistakes. Yes, you need to try to minimize them and learn from them but ultimately, our lives aren’t about tracking the mistakes we made.

Your life shouldn’t be a score card for mistakes you made but a list of achievements and accomplishments you have. Don’t let mistakes drive the story of your life. It’s about what you did not what you did wrong.

After making their own mobile phone, Google is now going to enter your living room through the TV. Google TV is their latest endeavor to bring the web closer to you. It runs on Android (the same OS that powers the Nexus one) which means you have access to all the applications on your TV.

Some TVs are going to ship with it built in and for old TVs, you can plug in a Google TV box. Now there’s really no reason to leave the couch.

If you have not seen Randy Pausch‘s last lecture, set aside an hour and start now. One of my favourite quotes from the video is where he mentioned that, if you give someone enough time, they will suprise you. You just have to wait till they blow your mind away.

I’ve embedded the video below. All of us definitely can learn something from him.

I noticed some people don’t seem to ask questions in situations where they should be doing so. You should always ask more about the product you are buying. You could also ask others to know of a better way to do something.

And when they do ask, they tend to ask the wrong ones. There are things that you should already know and there are those that you should ask the right person. Knowing what and who to ask are equally important.

One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.

Some people refuse to ask questions to not look stupid. That is probably the worst thing they can ever do. Ask questions whenever you can.
