HARVARD AND STANFORD ON ATTITUDE++
Attitude++
Harvard and Stanford Universities have reported that 85% the reason a person gets a job and gets ahead in that job is due to attitude; and only 15% is because of technical or specific skills. Interesting, isn't it?
You spent how much money on your education? And you spent how much money on building your positive attitude? Ouch. That hurts.
Now here's an interesting thought. With the "right" attitude, you can and will develop the necessary skills. So where's your emphasis? Skill building? Attitude building? Unfortunately, "Neither" is the real answer for many people. Perhaps if more people knew how simple it is to develop and maintain a positive attitude they would invest more time doing so.
So here we go. - Five steps to staying positive in a negative world:
1. Understand that failure is an event, it is not a person. Yesterday ended last night; today is a brand new day, and it's yours. You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and then you can expect to win.
2. Become a lifetime student. Learn just one new word every day and in five years you will be able to talk with just about anybody about anything. When your vocabulary improves, your I.Q. goes up 100% of the time, according to Georgetown Medical School.
3. Read something informational or inspirational every day.
Reading for 20 minutes at just 240 words per minute will enable you to read twenty 200-page books each year. That's 18 more than the average person reads! What an enormous competitive advantage . . . if you'll just read for twenty minutes a day.
4. The University of Southern California reveals that you can acquire the equivalent of two years of a college education in three years just by listening to motivational and educational cassettes on the way to your job and again on the way home. What could be easier?
5. Start the day and end the day with positive input into your mind.
Inspirational messages cause the brain to flood with dopamine and norepinephrine, the energizing neurotransmitters; with endorphins, the endurance neurotransmitters; and with serotonin, the feel-good-about-yourself neurotransmitter.
Begin and end the day by reading or doing something positive!
Remember: Success is a process, not an event.
Invest the time in your attitude and it will pay off in your skills as well as your career.
Think of it.......

MOBILE NUMBER PORTABILITY
The cost of porting a number to a new operator is Rs 19, with the maximum porting time capped at 7 working days by telecom regulator Trai except in Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and North East service areas, where it will be 15 working days. However , consumers will have to remain with the new operator for three months before moving on.
Number portability has been delayed by three years, leaving many consumers anxious . Several subscribers, who feel disappointed with billing, customer care, and overall service delivery, have been waiting for this moment . But the real question is whether you should take the plunge and switch loyalties or not. Will the switch really be worth your trouble?
The real reason for change would be to access better quality of service or improved customer care and of course, the proposition of a better tariff package. This, however,will occur only if operators believe that the churn out of their subscriber base will be so high that they need to improve their service or customer care, etc. However , surveys have revealed that the net effect of number portability is practically negligible . This means most large operators gain and lose roughly the same number of subscribers, taking away any incentive to dramatically change quality of service or customer care or pricing owing to the threat of losing subscribers or the option of gaining subscribers.
For the consumer, this could mean you might switch your operator, but based more on a perception of improvement rather than a real difference. Trai’s September 2009 data suggests that at a pan-India level, the call set up success rate was upwards of 97.26%—the lowest being in UP (East) and the highest at 99.99% in Mumbai . Similarly the call drop rate according to Trai is less than 3% across the country with the highest at 1.9% in Rajasthan and the lowest at 0.42% in Orissa. In fact, the difference between GSM and CDMA operators is also negligible .
Further, all operators across the country score upwards of 90% with regards to the parameter called connection with good quality voice with the highest in UP West (CDMA) at 99.99% and the lowest in UP East (GSM) at 95.1%. It is also a well established fact that tariffs are extremely competitive and so moving to a dramatically lower bill is unlikely.
Some consumers who are frequent callers, an equivalent of closed user group—or family members who are currently on different networks could now move to single network to take advantage of attractive tariff packages, including free calls within the same network, etc.But before you make any switch check whether your operator is providing a similar option.

astrological signs-courtesy msn news
The latest message from MSN news is placed for every one's analysis !
regards
Washington, Jan 15 (IANS) Astronomers suggest an overhaul in the process of defining horoscope on the basis of one's birth date as the earth's position vis-a-vis the sun and other stars has changed since the astrological signs were determined over 2,000 years ago.
Apart from the existing 12 astrological signs, the experts include a 13th sign Ophiuchus, a formation which the ancient Babylonians discarded because they wanted 12 star signs.
According to astronomers, the 'real' dates of all the 12 astrological signs will be altered for about a period of 30 days.
Here are the 'real' dates of astrological signs:
Capricorn: Jan 20 to Feb 16.
Aquarius: Feb 16 to March 11.
Pisces: March 11 to April 18.
Aries: April 18 to May 13.
Taurus: May 13 to June 21.
Gemini: June 21 to July 20.
Cancer: July 20 to Aug 10.
Leo: Aug 10 to Sep 16.
Virgo: Sep 16 to Oct 30.
Libra: Oct 30 to Nov 23.
Scorpio: Nov 23 to 29.
Ophiuchus: Nov 29 to Dec 17.
Sagittarius: Dec 17 to Jan 20.

A VALENTINE INCIDENT - FEBRUAR, 2000
6 AM, February 14, 2000. The weather was cool and sleep inducing. My telephone bell started ringing disturbing my deep slumber. I ran to the front room and lifted the receiver. “Yes, please”, I responded.
“I love you, I love you, and I love you so much, Darling”. A cool romantic voice cooed in from the other side. I was shell shocked and stunned for a few seconds, but soon regained my composure. Matching the tone in Maddy’s cinematic expression I chirped responding.
“I too love you, sweetie. Thank you so much for understanding and appreciating that even at 68, I will be able to manage situations and perform to mutual satisfaction arising out of our deep love”.
Her instrument fell dead.

As a Salesman, I consider serving my
customer as the most important
part of my career activity. I believe
that my customer, my employer and
I are interdependent. I am
dependent on my customer in joint
interests - his interests, my
employer’s interests
and my own interests. I will live
and function as a role model imbibing
in me the best in personal and
professional qualities. Integrity,
I believe is the fountainhead
of character.
My customer trusts me to serve his
interests by providing him with quality
goods and services he needs, in time
at fair cost and help him earn his
rightful reward that enables him
to confidently continue and prosper
in his profession
I will inscribe in my heart
that my customer and my employer
can never be a pebble in my shoe unless
I fail them in upholding their interests,
rights and privileges and guiding them
in the right path to tread on and progress.
I should strive hard to achieve the best
in customer relationship without
sacrificing the interests of my employer.
It will be my endeavor to do equal
justice to all those whom I have to
serve and live up fully to their
expectations
As a Salesman, the fulfillment of this CREED is my LIFE MISSION.

How to Become a Person Everyone Wants to Know
1
Observe. Take notice of how you act and how others act.
2
Listen. Instead of talking about how cool you are ask others questions. When you show interest in others they end up wanting to know more about you.
3
Be more interesting. Do things differently, mix your life up! If you always say hi to the same people talk to different ones.
4
Save it. If someone doesn't ask you something then keep it to yourself. Unless they've told you something about what you want to say.
5
Lay back and relax. Don't get all worked up over people. This really turns them off as to wanting to know you.
6
Be happy. People want to be around people that make them feel happy and make them forget about their worries.
7
Study hard and succeed. People naturally like smart people. Dumb people aren't going to get far in life and you want to get far.
8
Take certain things seriously. First of all when it comes to school or being on top of things don't joke and make a fool out of yourself. Casually make jokes and act less stressed out but don't, I repeat, don't slack off. You can be serious and still have fun.
9
Take the clues. First, know who you can joke around with and who not. Next, don't make jokes about things that bother them or that they are serious about, respect them.
10
Be yourself. A whole lot of people say this and it is completely true. People are attracted to people who have confidence in who they are and aren't so weak that they have to bend who they are for others.
11
Be beautiful. Beautiful is not being gorgeous, but being comfortable with who you are and owning it, minus the ego. Love yourself and others.
