7 rules of life... TRY TO APPLY ATLEAST ONE

7 rules of life... TRY TO APPLY ATLEAST ONE


1st
Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life.
Relationships work best when they are balanced.

2nd
Never explain yourself to anyone.
Because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who d islikes you won't believe it.

3rd
When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time.
When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come.

4th
When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices.
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours.

5th
We make them cry who care for us.
We cry for those who never care for us.
And we care for those who will never cry for us.
This is the truth of life, it's strange but true. Once you realize this, it's never too late to change.

6th
Don't make promise when you are in joy.
Don't reply when you are sad.
Don't take decision when you are angry.
Think twice, act wise.

7th
Time is like river. You can't touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment of life.

Dangers of Using Pendrive

Trojans Think In Mandarin
The latest Chinese hacking scare finds India’s vital organs baffled and unready
ARINDAM MUKHERJEE, DEBARSHI DASGUPTA , LOLA NAYAR
Outlook India Magazine – Issue dated 26/4/2010

It’s been a little over a year since the Indian army discovered one of its gravest cyber security lapses. The attack, which had its origins in China, was never publicised and didn’t figure in any internal report. But the damage was immense, say sources familiar with the breach of India’s military and security establishments.

“We never keep anything sensitive on a computer that is connected to the internet,” an officer with the Army Cyber Security Establishment told Outlook. But this one was different. The Chinese hackers developed Trojan virus software that downloaded on to a pen drive. Here’s how it worked: an officer connected the pen drive to a computer connected to the Net, infecting the pen drive. He then used the infected pen drive on a computer not connected to the Net. The malicious software immediately downloaded itself onto the hard drive, collected a lot of sensitive files and waited for the pen drive to be reconnected.

“When the drive would be connected to a computer with internet connectivity,” the officer explained, “it would immediately begin transmitting all the sensitive files back to a secure server.” This continued for months and several unconnected computers at the army headquarters were infected before the cyber security cell got alerted. “By then we did not have a clue about how much we had lost. And it was some pretty sensitive stuff,” said the officer.

Five Critical Factors of Career Success


Five Critical Factors of Career Success

What skills do employers value and seek in potential employees? That was the question posted to hiring managers, and the feedback might surprise you! Below are the most common skills mentioned, whether the employee happens to be a manager, network engineer, or a cook.

In-Demand Skills for Success:
   
PERSONAL SKILLS: Can a potential employee speak well? Can he/she answer questions of customers in a positive, informative manner? While not everyone has an outgoing sales personality, successful employees can communicate in a non-confrontational, positive manner with their coworkers, subordinates, managers, and customers. Being able to work well with others is a vital skill for success in all jobs.
   
JOB ATTAINMENT: Job search is a process that requires a great deal of dedication and attention to be conducted successfully. If you put in little effort, you will receive little results. Employers are seeking employees who know how to present themselves in a positive manner and who display enthusiasm and knowledge about the companies they approach. Not only do candidates get evaluated on their skills and experience, but also on how they are approaching the job search. Enthusiastic candidates that follow up and show true interest will win success above equally qualified candidates.
   
JOB SURVIVAL: Now there's a hot topic in this period of layoffs! True, who gets the ax and who doesn't is often a matter of numbers, but it is also often a matter of performance. Employees who have consistently demonstrated their worth and made themselves a valuable asset have lower incidences of being downsized than employees who put forth average effort. Surviving in a company during layoffs is a skill that makes a candidate stand out among peers.
   
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Successful individuals are constantly attending seminars, taking classes, attaining training, and otherwise learning new skills that will keep them marketable in their careers. Successful people are lifelong learners. Employers are looking for people who understand this.
   
CAREER DEVELOPMENT: Career Development differs from Professional Development. Professional Development is learning while Career Development is a planning and goal setting process. Successful individuals design a career plan with written goals for short term and long term. They lay out the steps needed to move their careers from Point A to Point B within Time Frame C and plan how they are going to achieve those steps. Employers seek individuals who (believe it or not) wish to commit to the company for a long period of time. Good career progression is a high selling point of candidates to prospective employers.

worth reading

This is very valuable information & worth reading.



Valuable Piece of information



Let's say it's 6..15p m and you're going home (alone of

course), after an unusually hard day on the job.

You're really tired, upset and frustrated...



Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your

chest that starts to adiate out into your arm and up

into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the

hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't

know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have

been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the

course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.



HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart

attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating

improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only

about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.



However,these victims can help themselves by coughing

repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should

be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep

and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep

inside the chest.



A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two

seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until

the heart is felt to be beating normally again.



Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing

movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood

circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also

helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart

attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many

other people as possible about this. It could save

their lives!!



A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail

sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at

least one life.

Rather sending jokes pls contribute by forwarding this mail
which can save a person's life.

Hello Friends,



You must have seen many school dropout children in your society, what is the future you are expecting for them? As you are aware tomorrow�s world is of skilled labour & multitasky people. One will not be able to earn bread without education and technical skills. India has the largest youth population in the world. How many of them do you think are skilled and educated? If educated, to what level? How is their formal education going to help them?



Let us talk about the effects of leaving dropouts to their fate. They have to work as unskilled labour with less salary, which would not be sufficient for survival, especially for the urban residents. Studies show that many are psychologically not prepared to take up unskilled profession. Rather than working as unskilled labour they prefer to indulge in fast growth. And the way chosen for it is robbery, malpractices and other illegal activities. To discuss, many ill effects are there of dropouts and unskilled labour in the society.



To know the solution for overcoming this problem let us first find out reasons for dropping out of schools and colleges. Few reasons are some students do not understand or are not interested in certain subjects like maths, science, languages etc. They do not give attention to them and simply fail in their exams. In some cases their abilities are not properly identified and they are put in wrong streams. For example, a student who is good at social sciences is asked to study technical courses, which he may not like and there lies a chance of failing or dropping out of it. After few years when one lags behind slowly looses interest and goes into depression without knowing what to do next.



This shows that there is an urgent need to put the dropouts back on track. The track can be of both academic education and technical education. Government of India has a very good scheme under �Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan� and it is called �National Open School�. A dropout above 14 years of age is eligible for Xth standard exam and has to study only 5 subjects of ones choice. Weekly 3 classes are conducted in various centres of Hyderabad/Secunderabad. The fees is Rs.1200/- inclusive of study material, contact classes and exam fee.



If u come across school droupouts kindly motivate them by providing the above information, the admission for the academic year 2010-11 will close in the month of August, 2010. Address of the National Open School centres in India can be located on internet.

Philosophy of life - Must Read

Philosophy of life:

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.

A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took them to catch them.

"Not very long." they answered in unison.

"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"

The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.

"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.

We have a full life."

The tourist interrupted,
"I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!
You should start by fishing longer every day.
You can then sell the extra fish you catch.
With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?"

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.

You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City , Los Angeles , or even New York City !

From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.


"How long would that take?"

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen..

"After that you'll be able to retire,
live in a tiny village near the coast,
sleep late, play with your children,
catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans.
And the moral of this story is:

....... Know where you're going in life.... you may already be there!!

Live as if you were to die tomorrow... Learn as if you were to live forever..
