Pirates of silicon valley / fountain head

The holiday vacation in Vancouver gave me the chance to watch two great movies in one day! Really I should have watched these two movies earlier. Had not watched such good movies for a while!

These are the kind of movies when I watch I can feel I made them! It's like, I feel they are showing me stuff I imagine in my head and now, someone else has thought about them and made all the way to produce and make a moving pictures out of them.

The idea that a man must live for his own sake and not to sacrifice himself is such a true idea. Reminds me of a day in my undergrads when I was arguing with a friend over a topic and i made a point that I won't care what other people think of me. I recall him giving me a cliche answer: "don't be such a self-satisfied person". This saying never made sense to me. I replied back: how come a man can not be satisfied of his own thinking? If I am thinking and believing in something, that's me and that implies I am satisfied with it. People who are not satisfied of themselves must be people who say other people's thinking not their own. The state of being dissatisfied of self is an unstable state and a healthy mind would quickly move away from that state to a self-satisfactory one. That's is too obvious to argue about.

Working with Mike in The company has out me through lots of new learnings about how to execute an idea and how important it is to market yourself and your great ideas. This is something university never teaches anyone and and as such, lots of great ideas are buried in schools in research labs or in papers simply because there are not executed into human life.
