This is an article about the speech of Apple's Co-Founder Steve Wozniak at Software AG's Innovation World 2008

Apple's co-founder recounted his fledgling career as a young computer programmer starting the company with present CEO Steve Jobs.

Wozniak said his beginnings as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard gave him access to resources such as hardware parts which he needed. He eventually had to leave HP, when he approached the company to help him make a line of personal computers but was turned down.

"They were a great big company, but couldn't stray from their ordinary line of business," said Wozniak. The personal computer product he had envisioned eventually became the popular Apple II.

Wozniak related how he encountered resistance from the HP engineers when he tried to share a method he had discovered, for working out a particularly error-prone equation. In spite of proving that his workaround would be faster and easier to help solve the equation, his colleagues could not switch to his new methodology, Wozniak said.

"People don't like change," he said.

The message he put forward, directed at Software AG's partners and developers present at the conference, highlighted that the path to being an innovator is understanding that one does not have to seek validation from everyone to achieve personal goals.

"You don't have to convince people to do everything like you. Do what you want to do--you have to know who you are," he said, adding that innovation is sometimes also "squeezed" out of a lack of resources.

"When you don't have a lot of money, you [want to] find out new and innovative ways to get the job done," he noted.

8401 a big count of days rite yeah that's my current age once again passed through yet another year with the surprise packages of happiness, excitement, little tensions & little crap yet memorable all the credit for my Lord* :)

Just happy and satisfied with the way things going on in life hope everything continues in the same way.

Here's just a snippet of my having some fun time with me at our flat in KL

*Praise the Lord

This is one such tune which I been hearing & humming from the time I saw this Movie..which was few months back and was really mesmerized by the tune and brilliant composing of the tune!! Just love the way it sounds...

Now Chillz Just Hear It......

Filled with excitement, nervousness and pride participating in my very first 5K Jogathon after being regular at my jogging schedules daily I had confidence that though I may not end up winner but finish up the 5K track with out any hiccups.
Finally the moment was on and everyone started jogging competing each others I started running too!! keeping up my steady pace thinking I can increase my pace slowly after reaching a distance but there been few joggers who catch up a good pace at the start itself and maintained well distanced gap between us which we never could compete to overtake. And the same gap been through entire the race and they finally finished up winners and I end up 6th struggling and exhausted.
Anyway being winners or losers all just part of the game it was important gaining the experience running such long track and keeping up the spirits to run more such races and surely win some race later.


Me with my mates ready for the Jogathon
Ready Set Go..........
All exhausted, sweating & drooling!!!

Stuck with flu, dizziness & body aches what else you would expect from any one who is getting ready to go on his/her first 5KM Jogathon (Jogging Marathon).
This is what my current situation is :( tomorrow 29th Aug 2008 I'm gonna attend my very first 5K run organized by my corporate. After being so regular at jogging all these weeks which made every one knowing me to think that I'm one who is capable of running boosted up my confidence in taking part in the activity.
I wish somehow I get rid of this sickness and get fit for my run tomorrow (jeeezzzzzzz)
Its gonna be really tough got really 30 participants in the event and though I jog regularly I never tried running 5K at a single stretch. I hope i'll go through this get some good reputation among my colleagues and keep up my friends impression on me.

Shall update Jogathan status tomorrow.

Your Mind is Blue

Of all the mind types, yours is the most mellow.
You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles.
Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life.

I'm one of many who love listening music be it any kind of genre/album/band/language!!!!

I just love listening any music that is good to hear and suits the situation you are involving with (love, joy, depression etc)....

Music really has its own way of healing when one is in ecstasy or bottoms of boredom!!!!

Here are the seasons latest composing's done by the Maestro A.R. Rehman.... so smooth melodies that has soothing effect on you

This one is nice haunting voice....

In my opinion every guy should be a bachelor at least once in his life to grow up as an independent individual as well as to get a wider scope of things going around him.


Best part of it is every bachelor follows the law of Bachelorism religiously for instance consider my self being bachelor in overseas after being with parents until my graduation made me start thinking broad about life and understand issues in the youth & started to explore both the sides of a coin.


I always wanted to taste every inch of being free and live life king size with out any restrictions and hiccups I come home from work and just sit with friends have a chitchat and if any conclusions come up in our chit chats like about any interesting movie or about any new restaurant serving good food outside or going out to play pool or bowling. We just go for it nevertheless whether its going to be late or have to work the next day.

Who cares we are bachelors :)!!! most fun filled and amazing stage of being single. These are the days surely one would think off once he get's set for marriage realizing how his attitude was towards life while being bachelor and after being settled with some one in life.

I just cant end up telling of being bachelor so shortly now itself let me go on sharing my share of bachelorism here and then whenever got any thing interesting on my blog.

Cya Soon
Ashu!!!

Winning means you're doing better than you've done before"
