World's smallest projector

Check out the world's smallest pocket projector. I was soooooo tempted to buy one of these but it is still in the initial stages. Probably not the smartest purchase for the price, but it still would have been really cool to show off!

a must read...

I honestly do not read much, so when I recommend something, it must be pretty good! This book is another great release by marketing guru Seth Godin. He gives insights on how the world is becoming more connected and available for people to become centered around new ideas. He calls these "Tribes", and with an abundance of new tribes formulating constantly, there needs to be leaders to lead these "Tribes." Check this book out, it is a very simple read, but its to the point. 

Gallons of water...

My brother actually just came to visit me in Hawaii and told me this puzzle. I loved it, and want to pass it along to others...

"John's mother told him to go to the river and bring back exactly 9 gallons of water in one trip. She gave him a six gallon bucket and a five-gallon bucket to complete his task. OF course, John's mother told him she'd bake his favorite cake if he came back with the 9 gallons. 

John had his cake and ate it, too. Can you?"

I will be posting random puzzles like this probably about once a week. The answers to the current puzzle will be posted with the next puzzle. 

Inspirations from Dustin Shindo

Welcome to JoWii's World,my very first publication! (That's me on the far right) I have never blogged before, but I have a purpose to help spark innovation. I am not a great writer, in fact, I am a horrible one. Don't come to this site expecting formal writing, proper english and no gRamMatiCAl mistakes because I honestly don't know any better. For the people who can suffer through it, I simply just want to post things that will hopefully give you things to think about. I have been very fortunate in the people I have met and the lessons I have learned. These people have helped shaped my perspective of the world in which I want to share with you all.My blog will consist of inspirations, books, videos, photos or anything that just catches my eye.

A little bit about myself, I grew up in Seattle and now I am a student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I started an organization on campus called the Entrepreneurs Club. Our driving purpose, "Entrepreneurial Empowerment." I could talk for hours about my movement, but thats what our clubs website is for, but m

Yesterday, my organization hosted a forum featuring a man named Dustin Shindo. For all you business people, he is someone you should inspire to be like. He is a serial entrepreneur, started his first company when he was 21 (which so happened to be a brewing company), after that started 3 others and now is the current CEO/Founder of one of the nations top clean energy companies which is publicly traded, Hoku Scientific. Oh and did I mention, he is still only in his mid 30's?

Mr. Shindo gave an amazing presentation outlining his 7 steps to success.

1. Check your ego at the door

2. Access my list of top investors ( his were... Visa and Mastercard! haha)

3. Build a winning team

4. Be ready to pay the price, nothing replaces hard work

5. Be flexible with your strategy but inflexible with your operations

6. Attitude and approach makes all the difference

7. The 3 P's

-Passion

-Performance

-Persistence 

One of my favorite quotes from him, "If you're going to do it, do it well."
