Golden Rules for Career Success

1. Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to ask. 2. Never bring your boss a problem without some solution. 3. You are getting paid to think, not to whine. 4. Long hours don't mean anything; results count, not effort. 5. Write down ideas; they get lost, like good pens. 6. Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your boss. 7. Help other people network for jobs. You never know when your turn will come. 8. Don't take days off sick-unless you are. 9. Assume no one can/will keep a secret. 10. Know when you do your best-morning, night, under pressure, relaxed; schedule and prioritize your work accordingly. 11. Treat everyone who works in the organization with respect and dignity, whether it be the cleaner or the managing director. Don't ever be patronizing. 12. Never appear stressed in front of a client, a customer or your boss. 13. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: In the course of human events, how important is this? 14. If you get the entrepreneurial urge, visit someone

Top 7 Steps to Better Public Speaking

Whether you want to be a part time, full time or BIG time speaker you must speak, speak, speak. At first, deliver 25-30 minute free talks to service clubs and community organizations. Consider it to be your off-Broadway tryout. A great opportunity to fine-tune your program…and maybe get some future paid business! Do the following to put at ease when delivering a speech: 1. Your speech needs a beginning, middle, and end. You must grab your audience’s attention in the first minute…so begin with a starting comment, question, story, or humor. End your speech on a strong note by asking a question, providing a quote, tell a story or leave them laughing. 2. Every 5-7 minutes, back up your facts with signature (about you or others) stories. Stories are out there – everywhere. Find them in the stores, at restaurants, on the airplane, at home. People retain information better when hearing a story. 3. Practice your speech out load. Record it on to a tape recorder and/or video camera. Also do this

Secrets of successful publishing

Have you ever wondered what would it take to compete successfully with the “big guys” like Simon & Schuster and even get to the top of the heap? If there is such thing as a magic formula for success, then the story of Geela, the author of the bestseller book THE AMERICAN DREAM can certainly make a believer out of you too. Mastering the art of the possible is at the heart of Geela’s brand new book where her message is that the possible always exceeds the impossible. It’s a sobering fact that no one not even the “big guys” (the large publishing houses) are immune to the risk of failing and even going out of business and not so much because of lack of resources but rather lack of innovation, high vision and keeping up with inevitable change. In fact, too many companies take the complacent approach of “one-size-fits-all” to marketing and promotion with a worn out attitude of “business as usual” and “we’re the best, you’re the rest” that stifles innovative thinking (thinking outside the

A different n nice story..

My wife called, 'How long will you be with that newspaper? Will you com here and make your darling daughter eat her food? I tossed the paper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter Sindu looked frightened; tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was abowl filled to its brim with curd rice. Sindu is a nice child, quite intelligent for her age. I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. 'Sindu, darling, why don't you take a few mouthful of this curd rice? Just for Dad's sake, dear. Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. 'Ok,Dad. I will eat - not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot of this. But,you should...' Sindu hesitated. 'Dad, if I eat this entire curd Rice,will you give me whatever I ask for?' 'Promise'. I covered the pink soft hand extended by my daughter with mine,and clinched the deal. Now I became a bit anxious. 'Sindu dear, you shouldn't insist on getting a computer or any suc

scientist comments! How to Catch a Lion in the Sahara Desert

The Method of Inversive Geometry: We place a spherical cage in the desert and enter it. We then perform an inverse operation with respect to the cage. The lion is then inside the cage and we are outside. The Set Theoretic Method: We observe that the desert is a separable space. It therefore contains an enumerable dense set of points from which can be extracted a sequence having the lion as the limit. We then approach the lion stealthily along this sequence bearing with us suitable equipment. Topological Method: We observe that the lion has at least the connectivity of the torus. We transport the desert into four-space. It is then possible to carry out such a deformation that the lion can be returned to 3-space in a knotted condition. He is then helpless. The Dirac Method: We observe that wild lions are ipso facto not observable in the Sahara desert. Consequently, if there are any lions in Sahara, then they are tame. The capture of a tame lion is left as an exercise for the reader. The
