Dont let others decide your life

Dont let others decide your life

My dream is to get admitted to Stanford which i believe can bring my ideas and imaginations in technology into reality. The most shocking news for me is that i can't get into the top 30 universities in the US.
Why? Whats the reason ?
I let somebody decide my life and career.
When i was in second and third year i had three papers namely software engineering, Unix Internals, Total Quality Management, Theory of computation.
The lecturers who handled these papers for me did something that they are incapable of. I kept complaining about their teaching and lost interest in that subject. I had backlogs in these papers and i blamed those people to have not taught me well.

There are two cases
1.The people were incapable of making me understand the subject and concepts.
2.I was incapable of understanding about what they were teaching me.

It is impossible to make them capable of teaching well.More that that it is foolishness to waste time for someone else. Instead if i had worked for me and have changed myself capable of understanding people who i call "brainless", i would have got the ultimate cognizance of controlling my life.

For me its late now. The right decision and the right initiatives we take on the right time without escalating to another day will decide on how we are going to be in the future.

Now i can guarantee that if i am eligible to apply for Stanford i can bring in revolution in the technology.

If this idea made u think about you, please comment.

A Crash Course in Having Your EBay Merchandise Drop Shipped

noreply@blogger.com (Sandymaguire) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:30:00 +0000

The answer to the question that as a retailer can you have your EBay products drop shipped to your buyer on time without any damage is 'yes'. All you need to do is place your products online in your EBay auction showing you as the actual shipper and then find a Distributor who will always drop ship EBay merchandise to your buyers whenever they purchase your products. As a result you don't have to stock the products and your distributor has no worries of the retail sales end of things.

But there are some cases in which you may not get a reliable distributor for your products and if the distributor makes any mistake in delivering the products then you as the owner of the auction will be blamed for it, regardless if you claimed to have distributors drop ship EBay merchandise for you. The best way to check the efficiency of a new distributor is to place an order and have it shipped to a friend or a relative member of your family so you can see how the shipping process goes.

noreply@blogger.com (Sandymaguire) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:13:00 +0000

Today everyone wants to start a home based business after noticing the success of others in this field. I also have a home business. Although I have a full time job, I can manage enough time for it also.

It is not easy to start. You must have the devotion to the work and give effort to it until it brings money for you without a considerable amount of work from your side. Then you have the flexibility to start a new business to earn more money. I also have to wait for two months to make my business run.

I found the right work to start with. It is e-currency exchange program. It is simple to start, but hard as well as you have to learn the steps first. I bought a guide which helped me to understand it stepwise. I invested $400 and followed the steps, by which it becomes $4000 in two months.

More investment will fetch you more money. My 21years old brother had some doubt. He invested $100 to check whether its genuine or not, and his money grew to $700 within 32days. The money grows everyday by 1.5%-4.0%. It is the easiest home business where your money grows faster and faster.

7 Tips for Product Enhancement to Increase your Sales

noreply@blogger.com (Sandymaguire) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:08:00 +0000

It is imperative that every one should be able to figure out as to which business they are involved in and they should be able to speak out regarding this in USA.

Using improved products to help with your mission report should help identify your business as a main supplier. For example, being a plumber, you need not necessarily be into plumbing business. You are into marketing the plumbing services.

Your mission report refers to what will suit you. You will be able to persistently assess your activities and the mission. You can also assess the accomplishment by gauging the success of clients. Thus if your clients are satisfied it will definitely have an effect on your sales.

In case you are not able to avail the required amount of profit, it means that your clients are not buying much from you.

The following test must be conducted from time to time to assess possible methods to make your product or service improve, and elevate sales.

Write down a paper and answer the following.

1. Note down the details of the proposed target for your product. Never write down what is product consists of.

2. Think about varied ways that are dissimilar from the present ones to give an ode to the requirements.

3. Show all devices that are evident as well as those that are not evident about your service.

4. Augment your product or business by using other ways to satisfy your client based on your decision in # 2.

5. Categorize your USA as against your competitor’s and other substitute products.

6. Create five high sales scenarios for every product you would like to present.
You can enclose one of these facts in every sale.

7. Establish how to fold in incentives for your buyers. You would surely want them to purchase now and only from you.

The matters presented below are only additional information. Do not stop with this. Customers take into consideration certain reasons while choosing a seller. You should precisely judge your advantages as against your competitor’s.

Convenience of business environment
Economical price
Best Quality
Convenient business time
Knowledgeable Staff
Good credit and return policy

The imperative aspect of running a business is to determine the route of development, your progress in daily activities, knowledge of your competitor’s business and proper management of assets. This will assist you in facing problems before they come into existence.

To flourish with small business without caring for economic condition it is necessary to be backed by intelligent people and practice sound business techniques.

The ultimate way to get a fresher software job.

noreply@blogger.com (Sandymaguire) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:05:00 +0000

If you are a fresher, no matter which discipline you are from, looking for a job then this article is specially made for you.
I am not going to spoonfeed you one telling you how to do and what to do...
If you are desparately looking for the job then you will realise how valuable this article is.
Lets start.

The first thing you must do is be determined to follow the steps i gonna tell you without fail. If you follow the steps, it is definite that you are going to land in a good job.

Avoid laziless:
By laziness i dont mean you sleeping all the time, but the idle time you keep wasting each day.Always remember that there is nothing called as free lunch which means you can't get anything for free.
so just sit and think at the end of the day on what you have done and what effor have you taken to get a job.

Dont be ignorant about your career:
My career is web development programming.Imagine this article talking about you own career interests say networking etc.My aim was to develop a website that contains a registration form allowing my site vistors to register, have a forum for users to discuss and lots of features on my website.I searched in google on how forums are programmed and how websites are hosted. I got to know about the various web technologies like PHP, J2EE, .NET. and started learning them. Just reading books alone wont let us achieve our aim. I planned to do one project on j2ee and build a website on it.

Looking for oppurtunities :
To do a project internet and resources alone are not necessary for me. I thought NIIT, SSI and other such institutes are just certificate providers. But i changed my view about it and planned to use it as a project guidance. So i joined a training institute not just to complete the course but started to work on my project incrementally. It involved lot of problems, frustrations, anger and embarassments. My only point was... we pay them fee and they are my servants and they have to teach me and i made sure that they teach each and everything in my syllabus and implemented practically in lab. I would also ask for tasks that involved making a sample program or small application on what was thought for that day in the class.

Doing homework:
Started working on the project sincerely and troubled all the ppl trainers, managers and all tech leaders etc to learn how to install the necessary softwares, how to run programs, etc. I did the same at home. Most of the time ill get frustrated that i cudn't make it.. But my only belief was "ppl succeed becoz they try one more time" this i did till i suceeded to get what i wanted.

Time management:
At the end of the day before going to bed i document in my diary on what i learnt for the day.
This made me realised the importance of each day and every second. I never kept myself idle. only 7 hrs of sleep. rest was to goto classes and work on project, come home and do the same. The most troubled ppl are my trainers and helpers at my institute becoz when they ill tell u shortl, ill clarify tomorow or if the tried to postpone to answer my questions, i keep nudging them daily till they kept me clear. I did this becoz i paid that much for the j2ee course and im not slave to listen to thier lazy response.

Teach some one to learn more:
When i tried to make my frens understand some concept, i learnt it thoroughly and made sure that what i teach was not wrong. So helping my fellow students there helped me learn 10 times that what was taought in the classes.

Searching for job:
There are lot number of companies looking for freshers or 1 yr exp with hands on skills on j2ee, .net and php. If u did one project on your own without outsourcing it to someone else, you are sure to get the job.

ppl at this status write your details in comments..ill let u know what do to next in my next post.

Working in small company is better than in big company

noreply@blogger.com (Sandymaguire) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:46:00 +0000

Dis advantages of working in Big companies:
It doesn't mean that ppl working in big companies are always in better place than people working in smaller companies. In Big companies he fact is...

No recognition for individual effort in the mass.
Stick to just one role.just as a programmer or a tester.
Have people for each and everything to take care of your computer issues, reports.
A programmer is only a programmer and he doesn't handle req specs, desinging, modeling, testing, validating and documenting.

Advantages in small companies:
I work in a small company and enjoy doing things that follow..

Programming, testing, validating, documenting.
Handling telephone calls.
Ordering stationaries.
Prepare my own coffee in the cafeteria.
Restock cafeteria items.
Crawl on the floor.
Access internet full time.
Come to office anytime and leave office anytime as they want me to just compete the task for the day and stay free.
Work on multipole technologies.
Handle our computer issues, installation, resolve virus attack ourself.
Switch on generators when power is off.
open the office door, switch on lights fan when i am the first to start the day at office.
Take different managerial roles when necessary.
Move along with my BOSS and managers.
Your work is known uniquely among your colleagues.

Do you think you get these many things to experience in a very big company????????

Comparing Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress

noreply@blogger.com (Sandymaguire) — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 15:04:00 +0000

Drupal: As per the statistics shown by many websites, it is said that the growth rate in using drupal is consistent.It is also known that many great websites like flex.org, ubuntu, belgian government, yahoo research, are built on drupal.The only thing is Drupal is more related to programmers than mere bloggers and business users.

Joomla:This seperates the control panel from the actual site. It has good templating system compared to drupal.But it is great for mere business users rather than programmers and developers.

Wordpress: This is no way related to Content management systems like drupal and joomla. It is a mere blogging system and greatly influences bloggers and not developers and programmers. One more great thing about wordpress is that it retains users with its great templating capabilities.
