Basslet: Why you need to be innovative!

Why innovative? What is the good thing about innovation? Well, today I'm going to share with you a product I found which is very interesting and innovative! That is, the Basslet, a wearable subwoofer for your body. Using a whole new technology for sound, it delivers the beats and basslines of your music directly to you – so you can literally feel the music.






Here are some of the thoughts after discovering this product in this YouTube video. You can watch it to check out other innovative products! Alright, back to the Basslet. I think Basslet shows the essence of innovation because it utilise the opportunity of the long-existing and ubiquitous wrist watch very well. Being innovative is not about creating something that is completely new. If you look at the Basslet, it looks just like a normal wrist watch. Since wrist watch has existed for a very long time, so everyone is comfortable with it. Thus, wearing Basslet will not be uncomfortable and do not need to take time to get used to it. Furthermore, it brings the real experience of the beats and basslines of the music you're listening right to you, which means, you can feel the bass even without a speaker alongside with you. Just imagine, when you're running or jogging outdoor, and you're listening to a music to keep yourself motivated, and now, you can even feel the punch of the bass! How cool is that! That, is the beauty of being innovative. Again, being innovative is not about creating something completely new, you can use what already exist, and you make it better or add some new elements to change it to a different item with different functionality. All these ultimately make you life better. That's, the good thing about being innovative. Just like Basslet, taking the existing idea of the wrist watch, subwoofer/speaker, and music, all these integrated to create another new product to enhance the music experience!

I hope this article helps to motivate you to be innovative. Next time, when you look at something already existing for a long time, think about it, how can you make it better? What you can do to it to make your life better?

Julian Treasure: How to speak so that people want to listen

  Julian Treasure:  How to speak so that people want to listen A reflection by Patrick Kong I’ve just finished watching this Ted-talk sharing by Julian Treasure and I find it very meaningful and worth to share. Here is my reflection after watching it. In the beginning, Julian talked about the 7 deadly sins of speaking. And below is the list of it: - Gossip - Judging - Negativity - Complaining - Excuses - Lying - Dogmatism I totally agree with him about this as I would like to talk to someone who behaves like these. But when I think more about it, isn’t that sometimes I also do the same thing? So, here, it’s really good reminder for myself not to behave like these.  He then introduced us an acronym called HAIL, where it stands for Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity and Love. Honesty means that you need to clear and straight when you speak, while Authenticity means you need to be yourself. Integrity is about be your word, which means you’re doing what you’re say...
