Hero

Who wants to be a hero?

Is there a check list for a hero?

The world is complicated.

Bad things will hide underneath a good surface.

So, stay cool and forget about heroes!

See the picture: think if the green guy is bad and the purple one is kind... Well, things can be viewed from different prospects.

Which way?

We cannot see many ways out when we are in the middle of a road. Maybe just one to two choices. When we are flying over the top, we may see a lot of opportunities. We cannot fly, of course. But we may need to clam down and think before we make a move.

Sometimes, maybe most of the times, things are not as bad as our first imagination. Every question should have an answer. It is a matter of time. Don't go to the bad side. Stay there if you cannot find the bright side!

Here is a winner of Monskey design contest 2008. Simple colors, complicated design - from a Singapore designer.

The Strong should...

Most of us want ourselves to be strong.

Have you thought about when you are strong, what should you do?

If the strong ones cannot protect the weak ones, their "strong" are meaningless! If they use their power to suppress the weak ones, they are not strong, they are "bad" - Evils are come from the "bads".

Another simple but nice Monskey design from Brazil!

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.
