Be a REBEL !!

An air of anxiety and suspense filled the place!! We occupied our seats calmly as if we were gonna watch the entire show!! Glances and whispers..... Small group discussions near the crowd.... Plans discussed and others asked to follow!! Many nodded in acceptance...What was gonna happen, no one knew... But some thing was gonna happen!!

We waited.... Team after team came on stage and did their best!! Jus to prove themselves!! Although they could guess the outcome....A roar from the crowd... This made the higher officials to stand right next to the crowd jus to take control of the situation.... Next on stage would be the "$$$$" came the announcement!! We waited.....

The curtain went down and everyone rose.... Rose in unison, to prove our point!!! The rebels of the day!!! Marching in long rows, moving out.... The walk out was staged!! The officials were stumped!! Whatever happened after this was very quick... None could be stopped!! The point was proved.... The rebels were succesful.... A big roar!! And the entire crowd looked back, ignoring the show for a minute!!! Success at last....

Always "BE A REBEL"...

There are 10 kinds of people: complexifiers and simplifiers

Sorry... Only the next post ll be on Intrams 07!! :P

I found this one to be a lil interesting!!

There are several thousand ways to complete the sentence “There are two kinds of people, those that…” And in case the universe wouldn’t be complete without another, here’s one more.

There are two kinds of people: people that make things complex and people that simplify.

Complexifiers are averse to reduction. Their instincts are to turn simple assignments into quagmires, and to reject simple ideas until they’re buried (or asphyxiated) in layers of abstraction. These are the people who write 25 page specifications when a picture will do and send long e-mails to the entire team when one phone call would suffice. When they see x=y, they want to play with it and show their talents, taking pleasure in creating the unneccesary (23x*z = 23y*z). They take pride in consuming more bandwith, time, and paitence than needed, and expect rewards for it.

Simplifiers thrive on concision. They look for the 6x=6y in the world, and happily turn it into x=y. They never let their ego get in the way of the short path. When you give them seemingly complicated tasks they simplify, consolidate and re-interpret on instinct, naturally seeking the simplest way to achieve what needs to be done. They find ways to communicate complex ideas in simple terms without losing the idea’s essense or power.

I don’t know what makes a person fall into either pile (genetics, habit, experience?), but I do know I’d much rather spend my time with the simplifiers than the complexifiers.....

Five Point Something

Intrams 07 is over!! 1 week of hard work and 1 week of sleepless nights!! All for the team F5erz...

This intrams did teach me a few lessons.... And 5 important ones are the ones that i am gonna share with you....

1) When it comes to expressing your talent, you have to prove yourself without fear !

2) Success can be achieved only by hard work.... To be more specific, USEFUL hard work....

3) Success can be achieved only by co-operation within the group and co-operation can be achieved only by a good leader.

4) Talent must be expressed at the right place and at the right time to prove that you are talented.

5) Disappointments and losses will haunt us unless we move ahead and take them as a lesson!!


Thats it.....
