lessons learned

today i had a fantastic day....i attended couple of lectures....and there were so many take home messages that were spoken in context of career or work but could be applied to personal life (relationships, family interactions) too....
i wont waster time writing prologue to it.....here we are...capsules of knowledge :)

5 important things to take care of so u DONT mess your CAREER

1. Quality of service you provide: of course superior quality will result in better profits and prevent loss of customers.
2. Know your customers: its wise to know who you are actually serving...take time out..get to know them....ultimately they are the reason why you have your bread butter jam cheese etc etc :)
3. Love your work: take interest in whatever you are doing, and do it at the best of your ability.
4. Dont talk ill about your BOSS: yes...this ones a biggie...after all he is the one with more say than u !
5. dont belittle your employees: they should love working for you, only then will they put in their 100%

now are some more bullet points that are worth thinking about:

• No one got hurt coz they didnt say something (esp wen that something is bad or hurtful) avoid saying things wen you are angry....
• you are never secure; just know about your insecurities!
• "It depends" everything has reference to context and your views change once you know an extra bit of information......never judge....most situations/ actions can be looked at objectively....and always the answer to the question is "IT DEPENDS on.......................or.................."
• layers of protection and back up plans: how many layers are enough??? sometimes its better to keep the shield aside and face the situation.......similarly how many back ups are enough??? who decides this??? YOU....accept situation as it comes....soemtimes you can never have enough back ups.
• Transform yourself as per situation/ people, rather than trying vice versa....
• Little problems turn into big problems if you dont face them, they dont go away......
• know your weak spots
• biggest security concern : identity....who are you...know yourself...

these are some interesting things i learnt today and all this had to do with IT SECURITY...and how people mess their careers......got lots of material to think and learn from..

felt good writing something after a long long time......ciao guys.....
