Invention / Innovation

A new wing design of a passenger aeroplane enable fuel saving of 7%. Will this help to reduce the amount of pollution derive from carbon fuel burning?

At a glance, yes but researcher found that the 7% fuel saving will not help to reduce overall pollution. This is because when there is saving, flight fare may decrease. Once this happened, people will fly more.

This is just an example where invention (of a new wing design) could not be utilised. Can we call this invention an innovation?


An innovation must be somethings that can be a benefit to business or social. Invention alone is just not sufficient to be classify as an innovation.

Azam 2010

I was listening to Sinar FM when a caller told this story.

Kawan dia berazam, untuk tahun 2010 ni. dia akan menukar tabiat merokoknya. Dia kata, dia akan hisap rokok kotak kecil sahaja.

To shortened the story...

Mereka pun singgah di kedai. Kawan dia tu pun belilah rokok seperti biasa. Cuma bezanya, dulu dia beli rokok sekotak besar, sekarang dia beli rokok kotak kecil......... tapi 3 kotak.

Is this a case of 'cakap tak serupa bikin'........... or a case of 'cakap biar terang'......... he.. he.. he...

The Glass Half Full

"There are essentially two completely different ways to look at the Sony Alpha 550. The glass half empty view is that it lacks the serious photographic toolset offered by any similarly-priced model from the likes of Canon, Nikon, Pentax et al. A more positive view - and the one I'm sure Sony wants you to take - is that it brings high end features such as high speed continuous shooting and automatic HDR processing to those looking to step up from an entry-level SLR or high end compact."

Which would be a better opinion.....

About the glass that is half full

OR.....

About the glass that is half empty

Transformation Starts in the Mirror

This is a nice piece of personal reflection I came across from Twitter posts, about the "Power of One" i.e. changing one's own mindset to contribute towards the greater good (Transformation Starts in the Mirror).

Transformation is never a smooth journey. It starts with a realization that it takes only one ... to start and make that change. Enjoy reading this article.
