on my way

21 February 2007

I just bought myself a cheapo digital audio player today. It's so cheap you can smell its cheapness from a mile away. It's called "Absolut MP3". The screen is obviously tilted by 2 or 3 degrees. The buttons are going to make my fingers strong.

But it plays music wonderfully, because that is its function. Even though it's some no-name (Absolut MP3...?) China brand, it still performs better than my branded Korean handphone in this area. I can pay $1000 for a handphone that does everything adequately. But for the same amount of money I can get separately an mp3 player, digital camera and handphone that perform their respective tasks much better.

That is the power of focus. Don't try to be good at everything if it'll affect the one thing you're actually good at.
