Don't worry about the salary, see how you can add value ? I tried buying milk and eggs with value, he asked for dollars. You have to love your work ? Thanks for not calling marriage.

work and wArship - 1

This is another funny series like counter-encounter I published in 2010. It supposed to be funny, not to hurt any one. I am trying to target usual workplace questions. How is your day ? Ask me that question on a weekend, I will positively answer. How is it going ? Now or before you came here ? If you can do that, I would appreciate that. I am not trying to please you. Can we meet the dead line ? Yes, if you can get off my head. Can I ask you a stupid question ? Stupidity is not a crime, but you hare right to remain silent. Give you 100% at work ? Well I can't let you suck my blood 100%. You need to show your leadership skills. oops, I forgot at home. Think outside box. That't why I am taking my brain for a walk. You need to motivate team. I know, but beer is not allowed at work. You have to identify areas of growth. I know my tummy is not one of them.

Gartner Conference

Today I was able to spend some time in Gartner Conference. All the speakers are having wealth of knowledge and most importantly they work closely with executives of all big companies. One speaker I should mention specifically is Hung Lehong. He is wealth of knowledge and he can tie you to your seat with his knowledge. You can find his profile here http://www.gartner.com/AnalystBiography?authorId=19321 I will discuss few points which stuck in my mind. Internet of things : This topic is all about connected devices talking to each other. The device can be your refrigerator complaining about lack of milk OR your car reminding you about servicing. Another example is your plants tweeting you that it has to be watered. You will feel this is possible after the below explanation. A sensor will be planted in your garden. Moisture sensors are available as low as $1.25 in Taiwan. It will connect to your wi-fi and send standard message through the controller. Sounds simple or Scary ? ...

Amazing or Amazon ???

Founded : Incorporated July 1994 Vision : To be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover anything they want to buy online. If you are studying about eCommerce your study is not complete without reading about Amazon. What amazes me about amazon is their strategy. They are not like other companies who will become competitors. They conquered an industry (book publishing). They never competed, they conquered. This company is spending lot of money, they are not worried about profits, margins and success. Every body knows about Amazon.com, Amazon Kindle Fire, amazon cloud and their web services. But there is more than what meets human eye here. Amazon is also into several businesses which we are not paying attention.

Amazon.com has 38% growth in...
