Its an extract from the book THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI. I just want to share it with all. A young boy used to travel far from his home to study under a great teacher.When he met the wise old man ,his first question was,'How long will it take me before I am as wise as you?' 'The response came swiftly,'Five years'. ''This is a very long time,'the boy replied.'How about if I work twice as hard?' ' 'then it will take ten.'said the master. 'Ten!That's far too long.How about if I studied all day and well into the night,every night?' ' 'Fifteen years.' said thr sage. ' 'I dont understand.' replied the boy.'Everytime I promise to devote more energy to my goal you tell me that it will take longe...

I feel that business analyst should be able communicator in understanding the requirement and passing them on to the development team. It would just be a blind note that everything that comes from the analyst as a requirement goes to development....

Where there is a will there is a way. Tendency to give up easily while accosted with a challenge is very common. Often problems we face look insurmountable albeit if we keep an optimistic outlook, shirk laid down attitude, at times think beyond books and act by making judicious use of our senses in positive frame of mind there always exist a possibility that solutions may emerge naturally and trivially.  More often, sagacious application of mind is even more potent and cogent rather than putting in immense hard work without much application of mind. In order to substantiate an efficient and effective tactical approach to problem solving, i put forward two inspiring tales for your perusal. O...

Thanks,Akshaya for referral a "Dewy tactics plus shoelaces for survival".A very beautiful piece of fable. Moral of the fable:1.Comprehend the poser and find the solution. 2.When you are on the precipice,think of the fall.

Nicholas Carr's article "IT Doesn't Matter" (Harvard Business Review, May 2003) challenges the value proposition for IT. He argues that as companies become more dependent on IT for their day-to-day operations, so the emphasis switches to managing availability, reliability and security. As such, businesses should manage IT as a commodity. Do you subscribe to the Carr view? Do you align IT with the business in a purely supportive role? But innovations within IT continue to create possibilities and options for businesses that did not exist before. But where IT engages the business, pro actively and as an equal, companies will be able to continue to deliver strategic advantage through IT. The following will be useful in assessing the level of business engagement: - to whom does the IT function report in your business? For example, the Board (where the CIO/IT director is a Board member), the CEO (who has a business development focus), the COO (who has a business operations focus) or the...

       Zuckerberg Named One of 10 Worst-Dressed Men Hi Friends.... Time magazine coverboy and billionaire Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been named one of the 10 worst-dressed guys of 2010 by Esquire magazine. When Esquire was putting together its “2010 Celebrity Style Hall of Shame” list, it didn’t have to look far in the tech world to find plenty of candidates. Mark was easy prey to Esquire‘s critical eye, given his high profile and simple wardrobe. What’s the matter with the way he dresses, anyway? We don’t mind that casual look, and if a billionaire CEO has a closet full of exactly the same shirt and pants (we’re looking at you, Steve Jobs), who are we to say he can’t wear them? It makes him comfortable, and after all, getting away with wearing a T-shirt to a black-tie event means you’re one powerful dude. All this attention to Mark’s wardrobe made us want to look for visual evidence. So here’s a gallery of the various outfits he’s been spotted wearing. You might be surprised...

Hi Friends, I am sharing with the reviews of IBM on work culture, growth prospects salary, done by their employees. Please share your views. A Project Manager wrote: What I like about IBM: "IBM offers a very flexible working environment. In most cases, no one will ask you what time you come or go from office. Neither the logs of the swipe card will be analyzed to take some action against you in normal circumstances. In special circumstances, the company can even allow you to work from home. No blocking of internet or phones . All in all, you are "not" working in a jail. It has a wealth of knowledge..... " What I don't like about IBM: "Sometimes you feel that there are too many processes to follow. The company is so huge that it is a challenge to make people aware of existing processes. I have often seen it happening that sometimes small groups within IBM try to develop their own processes, often unaware that such a best practice already exists and can be leveraged. Ofcourses, Lou...

Many companies are turning to a new kind of enterprise resource planning software. This new model is much more affordable, provides faster return on investment, is easier to implement across an enterprise, provides superior connectivity and is highly configurable. Browser-based, open-source ERP applications hold many advantages over the traditional legacy based software systems of the past. They are easier to modify and customize, for one. This ease of configurability opens up the door to agility - changing the software system to take advantage of new opportunities or changes in the market for optimal positioning. The software can change as quickly as the company can. This new type of ERP is not "open source" in the usual sense of the term. The meaning of open source for this type of application is that the source code is modifiable, but not available to the general public. It is modifiable by the provider or the individual buyer. This is advantageous to buyers with IT resources...
