When I started this blog back in 2005, I set a 5 year goal. It is interesting to see how things have changed.
My own place (either 200k condo or 300k townhouse)
- Not done yet, but it has since been upgraded to a house (since condo and townhouse prices have doubled)
BMW 325i (Mystic Blue or Jet Black)
- I have driven that back in 2006 plus a few more cars in between
Laser eye surgery (might need mental support)
- Finally done it this year, with ms. cake
Fall in love (yes, I still believe in love)
- Fell and Failed in love a few times in between, but I found ms. cake!
25 million portfolio (my clients', not mine)
- Got it last year
I think I need a few 5 year plan, maybe a little more aggressive.

Letters from Steve Jobs
I like apple products, but I love their marketing more. Of course, everything has much to do with the man, Steve Jobs. He created Apple in a garage and made a fortune then at age 30, he got fired by its own company, then came back to create a bunch of iStuff. He has done it all, now, at his 50s, he is retiring.
Letter from Steve Jobs
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
Steve had changed over years, comparing to his comment to his employees back in 2005 on Michael Dell, a man who has about 6B more net worth than him.
Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve.
Steve is becoming less arrogant, maybe people do get wiser when they get older. After the ups and downs of apple shares yesterday during the Jobs-less Apple conference, I kinda miss the guy.
