No One Needs Permission to Be Awesome

‘Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there.
And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.
And that is as it should be. Because death is very likely the single best invention of life.It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new.
[…]
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking by Activating Your ‘Go’ System
Melanie Pinola who shared an articles how to avoid fear when you’re in public speaking. She delighted and enlighten few more “behavioral” concepts which makes sense to people.
As the article explains, everyone has a physical “Stop” and “Go” system — also known as “Behavioral Activation System (BAS)” and “Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS)”. These are subsystems in our brain that regulate our behavior and motivation. As you might expect, when the Stop system is activated, we’re more inhibited and likely to have avoidance behaviors, while an activated Go system would encourage feelings of excitement or hope, helping us to act.
To on the “Go” system or appreciating it might release your fear about public speaking.

Naga inspired me so much and I wish you will be inspired too.
Naga Naresh Karutura has just passed out of IIT Madras in Computer Science and has joined Google in Bangalore. You may ask, what’s so special about this 21-year-old when there are hundreds of students passing from various IITs and joining big companies like Google?
Naresh is special. His parents are illiterate. He has no legs and moves around in his powered wheel chair.

Stop Chasing Money and Start Chasing Passion
I’m big fan of Tony, founder of Zappos. I would like to share something, interesting, inspiring and enjoy your time when you’re creating something creative, using your creative mind.
I thought about how easily we are all brainwashed by our society and culture to stop thinking and just assume by default that more money equals more success and more happiness, when ultimately happiness is really just about enjoying life.
In a recent blog post for the Huffington Post, author of Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose, and CEO of Zappos, Tony Hsieh discusses what the meaning of happiness is to him and the process on how he found it:
- Image via Wikipedia
“I made a list of the happiest periods in my life, and I realized that none of them involved money. I realized that building stuff and being creative and inventive made me happy.”Have you ever really thought about what makes you happy? Is it a successful career? Your family? Giving back to the community? Track your “highs” and “lows” to determine your own personal core values by taking the “Mountains and Valleys Core Values” exercise.

How to take down a WordPress site
- Image via Wikipedia
Security issues, most concering issues and I always looks for stable things from WordPress but somehow I still don’t feel safe about WordPress. It happens frequently, if you missed, hacker hacked — you simply hacked too. Lets see, how without botnet, expert hacker — anyone can hack your wordpress site.
I recently spoke at A4U in London on the topic of Negative SEO with Dave, Ralph and Marcus.
Someone asked me after the session if they needed to be aware of anything to help protect their blog from damage. Bear in mind what I am about to explain is probably illegal and this isn’t a guide, its a warning on how to avoid the problem.
So, is it possible to take down a wordpress site without knowing hacking or renting a botnet, paying a hacker etc etc
Yes probably…
Say you have a wordpress site and haven’t prevented directory browsing in your plugins directory (add a line to your .htaccess that says ‘Options All -Indexes’ to prevent that).
The competition could look for plugin names in your source code then confirm it exists by browsing the plugins directory. If they then found a plugin that wasn’t too popular they could set up a way of trying to dupe you.
They could set up a one page site about that plugin with an announcement saying that they had taken ownership of the plugin and now supported it.
They could email you saying that they had taken over the plugin from its author and that you needed to upgrade your version due to a potential security issue and helpfully attach a zip file of the new upgraded plugin.
You might trust them and install that new version. The new version however isn’t that new, its the same as the old version but now they have inserted a few lines to add a hook in the header.
These lines insert the verification code for Google Webmaster Tools.
Now you have a competitor who has verified control of your domain on a fake google account.
They can remove files (removal request on the root?)
They could mess with the config of the www v non wwwIn short they could make your site disappear
So to avoid: -
Never accept a plugin from anywhere other than wordpress and vet the code
Watch the notifications in Webmaster Tools to spot anyone else getting verified for your domains.
