Photo taken by me at English Bay, Vancouver, Canada during the 2011 fireworks competition – there was an air show before the display started.
The best is yet to come.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." - Steve Jobs, 2005
Whilst I like this quote on love, I think it needs to be couple with faith and hope to truly be satisfied in life.
My first Apple product was the 1st Gen iPod Touch that I won from a poster design competition years ago. That gadget changed the way I think about design.
I confess that I own 3 Apple products as there’s some magnetic energy that draws customers to buy their products – even if they don’t need it – Apple makes you believe you need it.
As I’m in the medical profession, I can’t wait to see Apple devices used within the healthcare system to “leverage cross-disciplinary exponentially growing technologies” (Daniel Kraft, M.D)

Incredible talk by Dr Daniel Kraft, oncologist who gained his MD from Stanford and continued his residency training at Harvard.
His talk was not only inspiring but I actually talked to 2 professors who was involved in a couple of projects he mentioned – the microsoft kinect project in stroke rehabilitation and the new technology in gene sequencing.
This is why I love medicine, design and technology and research.
