Moral of the Story

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a Test.

"You are employed" he said. "Give me your e-mail Address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as the
date when you may start."

The man replied "But I don't have a computer, nor an email."

"I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door-to-door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realized
that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US . He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email.

The man replied, "I don't have an email."

The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!"

The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

Moral of the story

1. Internet / email is not the solution to your life.
2. If you don't have Internet / email and Work hard, you can be a Millionaire.
3. If you received this Message by email, you are probably already an Office boy/girl, and not any close to being a

millionaire...

Have a great day!!!

Re-Introductory to CUSTOMER SERVICE

A Basic and Brief introduction to CUSTOMER SERVICE

In this blog, in order to know how we can "EnJoY ThE WaY YoU WaNt LiFe To Be!!", 1st we must look at ourselves and the people around us.

Why?

In this 21st Century and beyond, we are moving towards Informative ERA, moving into an ERA where meeting people is not really a must to do in business or social life for some group of people, including me, who are doing, eg. Online businesses, Investments, cyber cafe chatting, gaming etc.

Most of us know what is CUSTOMER SERVICE, so why do I still ask or talk about CUSTOMER SERVICE here?

"Can't we just skip this boring, useless knowledge aside and keep things move on as usual, just do whatever we have to do and move on?" or "What's so important about CUSTOMER SERVICE, as if I care?" or "Why do I give it a damn?!" - as some of you may quote.

Well, if we really want to "enjoy the way we want life to be", we still need to communicate regardless if we are communicating with bosses, colleagues, spouses, friends, family members, ourselves and even animals, so as to make our lifes better.

"But what has communicating got to do with CUSTOMER SERVICE? I still don't get it..." - perhaps some of you may wonder.

Let's just say, if you are unable to communicate well with your bosses or colleagues, will you get things done SMOOTHLY? If you are unable to communicate with your spouse or family members well, are you INVITING more conflicts and disorders unneccessarily? If you are unable to communicate with your pets well, will they give you some BITES or SCRATCHES when you don't provide them enough or be nasty to them? If YOU, yourself, unable to communicate with yourself, ignoring or unaware of your body conditions and still keep eating your favourite food non-stop for few days or weeks, will your stomach not UPSET as time goes on?

So how well or how good do you provide your CUSTOMER SERVICE to the people mentioned above?

And next question, Ah... This is one of my favourite questions, do we really know who are our "CUSTOMERS"?

"CUSTOMERS" in this blog mentioned does not mean the people who buys your product or the people to whom you wanted to sell your products.

I leave it to you to think through and answers will be brought to light in next Chapter.

Wrong Number

Just for some laughs, haha... It's simple graphics but creative laugh out loud idea! Enjoy!

What everyone should know about Cancer

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL , US - PLEASE READ

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation, while destroying cancer cells, also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. See below.


CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.

By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.

A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork.
Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable
juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements, like vitamin E, are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells..

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and
plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.

The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food
is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Under Construction for Upgrading Stage!

Ta da! Thanks to my friend, I'm able to link up some of the sites that I like to make it just like a real domain.

Of course many part of it is still under construction, but the sites are still accessible. I'll do my best to put all sites up.

Arrow and Heart Origami

Its another day of the week! And today its my OFF day!!

Nothing much to do at home so I'm searching online to see if there's any interesting thing I can learn and do. I'm interested to know how a piece of used paper can be recycled and transformed into some decorations. Where some of you may know that I like to do some Origami stuffs and there it is!

This is an Arrow and Heart Origami! Made from one piece of paper. Any piece of rectangle paper where length must be at least > 2 times of width, there you can fold to this standard.

Anyone interested in learning to fold, let me know, I can guide you how to fold. Or does anyone like to make an offer to buy the Heart and made with paper you like? Haha...

What A Screwed up Day!!!

Its another day of daily routine job again, but today on 10^th July 2007 is a so-called ‘special’ day...

Working in G*** Company is not as easy as anyone thinks, some people may view working there just like almost do nothing, give commands/orders, sit back and drink coffee to relax kind of job. Nope, absolutely not!

Our Organisation may seem just as delicious as it looks on the outside, just like a Hamburger. But We are just a piece of something in the middle of a Hamburger, let you guess which part of the middle of the Hamburger we are later at the bottom after you go through the situation below and I’m quite sure some of you experiences similar situation.

We as Engineers handle customers (those upstairs) more than we handling system and machines… We had a hard time to deal with them…

Due to upcoming event, everyone from the upstairs seems to be over excited and planned this and that, giving us all the work to do. Its normal to have work to do, of course, we have no complaints as it’s a routine to do all the necessary work.

The upstairs happily scheduled roaster for us to standby during the weekends, we are still ok up to this stage since its part and parcel of our job to standby when necessary, BUT the upstairs sent email to all parties who are involved for the event EXCEPT us!!

The 1^st thing in our mind, are we supposed to standby during the weekends since we did not receive the email order. You may wonder how we know we need to standby at later stage. We are informed and forwarded by our neighbour that we had this standby. If you may think this is still ok, it’s alright, we actually can accept it too since (upstairs) have scheduled us for the work.

BUT the upstairs have all sorts of different requirements and details fly here and there while we are left outside of the loop without knowing what actually was going on. We were then at almost last minute stage, be informed by the upstairs of the requirements they want and they demand us to react according to their decisions without taking due diligent on the end user side for their usage concerns. We as ENGINEERS have stated out the end user concerns and the impact the users going to face when the upstairs executed their decisions. BUT the upstairs still will not give a damn concern on the end users and our Professional advise (as we know the system inside out) and still want to execute their actions.

Sometimes I wonder, why they hire professionals such as us, the ENGINEERS, to manage the system as the upstairs, so-called CONSULTANTS, decide on things they know less than us such as limitations on the system, didn’t trust our professional advices and still go on ahead to proceed executing the things they want!

They want to see the things they want cannot work by their own eyes rather than trusting our Professional advices and make every single party involving in the event, a very Hard time and inconvenience until they are happy to see the things don’t work…

And usually every year before the actual event, we’ll be requested to go to site for testing to ensure all systems functions properly and ready to operate when the actual event arrives. In this way, we can save lots of troubles and problems which may arise and be prepared if there’s any screwed ups.

But this year, we were not informed to do any testing on site… See Below…

We as Engineers, forgot to say, we also are CONTRACTORS have not much say to overwrite their decisions, so we execute their decisions. What’s more, their decisions was so last minute till we had to inform the end users of the impact even when its around 2am in the dawn!! What the hell!!!!

What do we get after we executed the upstairs decisions? Shits!! PROBLEMS and COMPLAINTS from end users everywhere!! Phones ringing throughout the day!!

So what happen in the end?? Upstairs still deciding if want to revert everything back to normal places so that the whole thing can be done smoothly.

What a screwed ups and a bunch of low EQ and IQ idiots (upstairs)!!

Do they know how to communicate (EQ) well with people?? Someone or somebody got to teach them some manners and attitudes and not using their high posts to abuse their powers to overwrite things they like and want… Every game has its rules and regulations, please play them right and in order, not a MESS.

CUSTOMERS COME FIRST BUT CUSTOMERS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!

THEY ARE RIGHT ONLY WHEN THEY ARE REASONABLE ENOUGH!!

So which part of the middle of the Hamburger are we??

Are we the meat?? Nope, we are not as delicious as the meat because WE (the persons) are not the main role of the Organisation although OUR SYSTEM is.

Are we the cheese?? Nope, we are not as delicious as cheese too because we are not as worthy as the upstairs think we are. To them, we are just high paid Bangladesh doing ‘easy jobs’ while they do not know the whole lot of things not a normal person can handle.

Then what are we??

We are the VEGETABLES!! Almost less tasty than meat and cheese!! Maybe no taste at all!! But why we are vegetables??

Because we take all the shits the upstairs want to do and do it for them. We also take all the shits from the end users for the complaints they experience. What do Vegetables good at??

YUP, That’s right!! Vegetables produce fibers to process ALL THE SHITS!! Else if the vegetable not functioning properly, you know what happens… Only Inputs and no Outputs…

What an Idiotic day, thanks to all those Upstairs!!

Virus!!! Stay Out of my PC!!!

Long time no install of anti-virus program and when installed and start scanning for viruses, there it scanned out 300+ Threats!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!! What a shock! And after healing the threats, almost all of my programs were unable to execute! Double Shock!

Wow! Didn't realise the threat was so powerful which cause all my exe file to be unexecutable!!!

This must be some sort of worm which will eat up all the .exe files then corrupts them...

I've no choice but to reformat my system drive to ensure there's no further threats happening again!!

What an experience of a lifetime to find so many threats in PC. Serves me right for not scanning it earlier and install the anti-virus software to heal all threats!


Whew!!!!

Thanks to this guide:
http://web.mit.edu/ist/products/winxp/advanced/reinstall-format.html

I'm able to format just the right partition without backing up all my files on my other partitioned drive else I'll be having headache backing up all files as there are just too many files to back up!!

I've finally get my PC running again and of course I've restored all the necessary tools to play videos, audios, flash etc etc...
