Inspiration

Inspiration seems to be a serious word. No, we can treat it as a normal procedure in our daily life. We may need to spare a couple of minutes from our busy life. Just relax and do noting. Maybe walk out of your workplace. Look around and feel things around you.

The key is to THINK. When you can get some thinkings from some unrelated stuff, yes, you got an inspiration. Inspiration can be useless. But it is a good process. Just to give ourselves a break.

Here are 8 new designs in Monskey 4. Some of them were shown previous.

Who are you?

We have to make so many compromise in our everyday life. There are one TV program where the host tells the interviewers how to impress the interviewee. For example, to ask some questions that she/he might be interested. And the host says that for the same token, in order to become outstanding, you have to attract your boss by doing something she/he may like.

This is sad. Sad that we have such a kind of "host" and sad that we have such a kind of program. Even sadder, the situation is so real.

In the "material world", we have to calculate everyday. And we do so many "fake" actions. Time after time, we lost ourselves.

So, to find the lost, we may need to ask ourself in the mirror "who are you?"

This Monskey is an early stage product. It cannot be found in the market. Maybe it will become alive later...

The Singularity

It is a very interesting and inspiring topic regarding human future. Where a bunch of names such as "transhuman", "nanotechnology", "year 2020" can be found. A real explosion of creativity, a super long human life is expected.

It is not far away. So, let us sit and wait and read science fictions and think about our future.

Here is another great design from Mexico. One of the Monskey 4 collection.

Monskey Photos

Take some interesting photos with Monskey and send the photos to monskeyphotos@gmail.com.

We will pick those nice ones and show them in this blog as a slidshow.

Photos are not required to be professional. Simply take photos with your cell phone and send them to us. It could be funny.

Fast or Slow

Internet changes the world!

With Internet, we have no excuse for late reply. Because the world is now running in 24 x 7.

The interesting point is, we do not have less work to do with the help of Internet. It is odd! We can do a thing in one day that we may need 2-3 days to finish in the past. Theoretically we should "gain" some time. But the fact is the other way around. We become busy and busy because the Internet will not allow us to stop, or rest.

So, we are working faster, or slower?

Look at the eyes of this family. Designed from Brazil.

A New Self

"Resistance to change" is an old but always true saying;

Sometimes if we are so brave to do some breakthrough, the rewards could be invaluable. Not only the instant results that we can see. But also the self-upgrading process which will create a long-lasting difference to ourselves. We do not need to be a superhero. Some minor changes are good enough.

Look at the new Monskey 4 member - thanks to Michiel Baumgarten from Holland.

Shadow

One weak side of human character is laziness

To those do not want to put efforts on innovation, or creation, they can only live in the shadow of others.

Even worse, they rationize their laziness by tons of lies and stupid reasonings.

They don't belong to the world of creation.

They should do something else.

It is not sad, or even a pity to move elsewhere if you do not belong to the world of creation. Nobody says that the people in such a world are happy!

So, wake up man!

Thank you to Satoshi san, this Monskey is a very impressive one.

Isolation

The more we work on this Monskey project, the more we feel isolated from outside. The more we concentrate on one thing, the more we feel ourselves autistic.

Sometimes autistic is ... not bad!

This Monskey design is an art piece.

Look at the details of the printing. They are so perfect!

Indifference

When something happens, some people will react instantly.

But sometimes wait and see are not a bad choice.

Wait and see do not mean doing nothing.

We can also think and plan.

A crocodile is a good example.

It can hold a position like a statue, seems so indifferent.

But when it starts to take action, it is quick, exact and powerful.
