But from experiences and stories I observed one there is one thing that can give you a satisfactory life. So what is that one thing??? Answer is LEARNING People living a satisfactory life often have LEARNING stories associated with them. Satisfactory life is not about living on luxury or more or less. Its about how much you can contribute to society and how much you are self contained. Here are some interesting examples with a glimpse of LEARNING stories. Please mind the gap out of learning often attaches with struggles 1. One of my uncle was struggling to get a job for living after graduation, he was dejected, life was meaningless to him, there was no hope and he became a Lecturer of Chemistry.

Is effortless good?

Back in Y ear 2000 I visited my hometown to stay over a month and study without worrying for rent. This was a rash decision. I didn't made anything fruitful for whatsoever reasons. I read somewhere a quote by Sir JRD TATA nothing worth while ever achieved without deep thought and hard work. If I look back over my life, I observe, perhaps I didn't not get everything everytime. But at times I've gotten many things effortlessly that matters most. But I miserly missed on thing, on taking care of the things, despite knowing this is most valued asset in my life. Surprisingly all those things came my way effortlessly, atleast I have not made any special efforts. No, I never taken things for granted but I did a mistake, mistake of not focusing on the things I have indeed focusing on other areas where most of the energies drained out. On the worst side, I questioned if this thing is right for me what if this turn bad next day. I didn't enjoyed the goodness today indeed fo

Who is responsible for Facebook data leak

YOU!!! If you use loads of free apps for productivity, if a phone call is too much costly for you, if buying a license always widen your eyelids more than normal, this is YOU!!! The recent Facebook-Cambridge Analytica  incident is much of your story than Facebook. The company Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Cambridge Analytica are still getting there ROI. I doubt if Facebook traffic has truly depleted. Many of us read Facebook Users' Data leak news inside Facebook, blog it and share on Facebook, so where is the company on loss??? Personal Privacy Protection is first responsibility of first person, i.e. YOU!!! .

Which is best fit social media in your profession

Social networks take huge space over Internet.  Anyone can join any social media for work or passion. Today it's a big playground for creating connections and build human capital. Often there is confusion about social media selection.  People join many but enjoy none.  If you are a professional and thinking to select right social for you,  here I have tried to divide social media uses according to professions. Medium.com : Good for Copy writers,  content marketers and authors. Written a book? Now take to medium,  start blogging. Let people know your book is available on Amazon. GIT Hub: Do you know a computer language.  Go to GIT Hub. Write your code,  build programs that work for humans. Build connection with fellow GITans Pinterest: Good in colors and graphics. This is the social media for people who can create nice pictures. Instagram: Obsessed with phone camera or looking to make career in fashion and modeling or you have a design boutique,  show what you have on Instagram

How to communicate email to team

Do you handle a team? Are you responsible to report someone? Chances are you are sending cc of every email to Boss. Stop doing it now. Instead send bcc Heck,  why they call it blank carbon copy. Indeed its boss carbon copy. Some team members may get uncomfortable when CEO is reading every email. This happened to me, suddenly a team member is losing her peace of mind. I am content consultant for a company and handling a small team. I repeatedly explained her whole procedure, she not followed. Now,  here, game turned ugly. She gave an explanation which was excuse because Boss is reading. I turned out heavy hand and she lost control. Lame excuses are definitely not Welcome but before marking a cc think twice. A bcc won't do any damage to transparency. I was asked by my CEO to mark cc of every email but from today it's bcc.

How many Quora answer shall I write daily

More answers means more popularity,  RIGHT ? I would say,  WRONG! If you are asking this question I am pretty sure you are looking for lead generation using Quora. More answers certainly get more links but not more leads. People want to meet expert who can solve their problem and not someone who create noise only. Experts speak less,  they do not speak till they cannot conclude a thing superbly. Speaking is one thing but systematic speaking comes with continuous learning,  systematic experiments,  deep thought process and willing to solve a problem. Solving a problem needs loads of mind work,  without rigorous mental work out you won't give away any answers that may solve a problem. Take example of Seth Godin,  he writes one blog post a day,  in very limited words and gives lots of learning. Sir Richard Branson,  LinkedIn Influencer, writes often,  he writes his own blog and sums up things beautifully. LeoNotenboom writes how to of Windows,  system and security.  His every

The 3 Cs of being successful

Everyone want to be successful. Few strives to achieve success. When I see anyone working hard, I wish,  if I could be that person. Inspirations are everywhere,  you need an eye to get inspired, learn and lead. When I feel,  stressed,  consumed or exhausted,  I go streets and get new ideas. An idea is like opium,  it gives you certain level of energy boost, you feel refreshed and can focus on doing things more responsibly. Hoever,  that is the ground work. If you are not able to achieve a thing,  if you are not able to make that sales,  if you are not able to get into steady relationships,  IT'S YOU!!! Nobody can achieve everything,  and everybody can achieve everything.  Doing anything needs loads of deep thoughts,  systematic strategy and energy to execute. If you do not execute there is no question of loss or gain.  Execution leads to learning and gains and learning comes from obstacles. Learn everyday a new thing,  read a book,  play a game,  make a friend,  watch nature

Why small business shall not count on SEO but paid campaign

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very slow process.  If your are a business owner,  already have businesses,  and making profit, then you can hold on,  wait for couple of months to grow your business organically through search engines like Google. However,  if you are a new business and looking for immediate profit,  do not count on SEO.  It's a slow process.  Perhaps,  by the time your business grow through seo you will need to close it because of no actual results. Actual result means sales that can make more money than expenditures. If you are new in business instead of hiring seo guy I will suggest you to spend money on paid campaign like adwords,  Facebook ads etc. If you have better budget,  go hand in hand for paid advertising and seo else put money but WISELY on paid campaigns to generate some quick sales.
