Automattic Creed

9/11/2010

Each of words touching and really inspiring and I even don’t know the Automattic Creeds.

I will never stop learning. I won’t just work on things that are assigned to me. I know there’s no such thing as a status quo. I will build our business sustainably through passionate and loyal customers. I will never pass up an opportunity to help out a colleague, and I’ll remember the days before I knew everything. I am more motivated by impact than money, and I know that Open Source is one of the most powerful ideas of our generation. I will communicate as much as possible, because it’s the oxygen of a distributed company. I am in a marathon, not a sprint, and no matter how far away the goal is, the only way to get there is by putting one foot in front of another every day. Given time, there is no problem that’s insurmountable.

Thanks Karim for the share.

16 Rules For Success In Business By Bob Parson

13/09/2010

Bob Parson, the founder and CEO of GoDaddy.com — worlds largest domain management company. In his websites, he wrote an articles about success in business — the 16 rules that can bring success in your business and change your life. Few things, I really loved,

  1. Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted.  Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work.  It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.
  2. There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true.  It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”
  3. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment.
  4. Never stop investing.  Never stop improving.  Never stop doing something new.  The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die.  Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way.  Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen.  Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

Globalized Life of Sakib

14/08/2010

// Microsoft Bing Maps Data Center //Mostly, I woke up at 5 AM with the Alarm and sounds producing from my cell phone and idea of clock came from Levi Hutchins, inventors from State of New Hampshire in the United States and the cell integrated with lots of components and which is made in Korea, Battery made by China and the company is Nokia, one of the most leading multinational company and the Headquarters of the company in Tampere, Finland.

When the time is ticking, before to reach the time at 9AM, I open the computer and start the important downloads to get the files faster, using by Mass Download Manager, which is made by US developers. Also, the Dual Monitor I’m using everyday both are manufactured by Samsung corporation and my Optical Mouse & Perfect keyboard made by Chinese too and the CPU fully assembled by Chinese parts, except the INTEL Micro-Processor Chip and the Hard Disk/ Hard Drive / HD made in Taiwan, possibly HP/Maxtor and I brought the entire PC from IDB and my elder who informed he used ATM booth to get instant money in IDB and the idea of ATM booth technology, comes out from Luther George Simjian, who is Armenian-American inventor and also lots of people contributed for the development of ATM.

Whatever, to getting access, I’ve to use Mozilla Browser, which also made by Netscape Communications Corporation, US based a large corporation, giving the software free of cost.
However, the time is ticking, I start to checking my email, service of Google Inc, which is US based multinational company and co-founded by two friends Larry Page & Sergey Brin. Google taking multiple time backups of my emails, documents, custom Google search engines, my web based libraries and so on products I’m using (though I’m not paying directly) and the server is around the world such as South America, North America, China, Japan and South & North Korea – because of the efficient usages of the resource & decreasing the operating cost and such efficient usages and effective usages of technology. And most interesting thing is, when we are searching anything, more then 10K cheap server taking the load and query the keywords and bring less then one seconds in front of the screen. Can we think about it?

I’m moving towards depends on the clock of my mobile phone and taking the idea to my To-Do-List. When I’m spending valuable time in Traffic Jam, presently I’m listening Getting Things Done – The Art Of Stress-Free Productivity By David Allen, the writer is an American and his books enlisted as Best Sellers of NYC. The idea of digital formatted audio books, such as mp3 format and such audio books – the idea generated by Don Katz, New Jersey another states of United States and who already sold his Audible.com company to Amazon.com with $300 Million, another one Multinational company founded by American Entrepreneur, named Jeff Bezos and I’m regular user of Amazon to wish-list-ing books & gadgets.

Still, I’m using Microsoft Word 2007 to write this on, the software developed in US, under the Microsoft Corporation, a multinational computer technology corporation. I can spread my each words through the Internet and the entire world will know less then a seconds that — how I’m integrated, connected & Globalized.

20 Time & Energy Drains You Can Eliminate

26/06/2010

Leo Babauta has been a reporter, editor, speech writer and freelance writer for the last 17 years. Leo writes for numerous blogs notably including LifeHack.org and his own blog about simple productivity, Zen Habits,net.

It’s amazing how we can while away our days by doing practically nothing, and feeling busy and stressed while doing it.

And then, at the end of the day, we are so tired we zone out in front of the television or Internet until we’re ready to drop off to sleep.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, it’s possible that you’re the victim of time and energy drains — things in your life that drain away your energy and your time without you really thinking about it. Eliminate those drains, and you’ll find yourself much more productive, much more energetic, much happier. In fact, even if you’re pretty productive already, it’s very likely that you still have time and energy drains that you could eliminate to improve your life.

What are your time and energy drains? It’s different for each person, of course. The best way to find out what your time drains are is to do a little time log. Now, before your eyes glaze over at this idea, I don’t recommend a detailed log, unless you’re good at doing that. For the rest of us, it’s easier to just keep a blank sheet of paper or notebook by your side and just jot down what you’re doing. You don’t need to write down the time or keep track of the minutes — just write down the activity. At the end of the day, look over your list and you’ll see the kind of things that are taking up a lot of your time without giving you much benefit in return.

Energy drains are a little tougher, but if you go over a list of the things in your life, and give it a little thought, you can probably identify some of the things that are draining you unnecessarily and find ways to change your life accordingly.

Some of the most common examples are listed below.
