Trigonometric Life


Our life based on 3 main elements, one is our own health and second is our family and third one is career. These three are tightly integrated and the change of one definitely affect the other. I attended a farewell party in one of my ex workplace, he was in late 50s and decided to retire from work, at the party his 18 years old son also attended. He started speaking about his achievements, how he built the company etc and finally looked at his son and he started literally crying because he didn't know anything about his son, he missed all of his graduations, he didn't know what he like to eat, he didn't know his favorite game, he was very much into work and couldn't spent time for his family. There are something's we can't get back and one of the main one is family especially our kids growth is ineluctable.

So all okay, if we spend more time with family, we can't advance our career, there are many people waiting in line to finish or take care of our job, aren't they? this world is competitive and opportunistic. True but not completely true. Technically, we are all not same in career point of view, we have our own strength and weakness so it is insane to think that your food is in other's hand. We all come from good education background and we can achieve what ever we want to but timing and careful planning is important.

Here are some important things we need to consider for work life balance and how to be an indispensible asset for workplace

  1. Are we updating the skills required to perform our job in effectively? Updating the skills regularly gives an edge to our professional life at same time helps us to finish our job on time.
  1. What is the unique strength of ours and how to show? Each of us has some uniqueness in our ability, that is the one differentiate factor with others. We have to identify that and enhance it at work. This gives an advantage for workplace to use us at right time for right project and we can justify our existence at the work place.
  1. Understanding the context and gives priority to the most important. For example, we are at our kids school for a soccer game, a call from work, from a known person he/she wouldn't call unless there is an emergency then we have to take the call.
  1. As far as i know from my friends experience some times family side he/she gets a sour treatment because he/she missed an important family get together or son's practice etc. I think it is because of our inability to communicate with our family about why we think the work matter is very important than the family get together.

Coupon Crazy

Coupon, Is it good remedy for current inflation fight? I think it is not and coupons are highly addictive. Yesterday when i was in train on the way back home, one lady sitting next to me, cut and cut coupons from newspaper. I was watching it all, to make things worse, she put all waste into me. She carried a separate bag for coupons, the bag was filled of coupons. Okay, that was fine, she is just trying to save some 1 or 2 dollars. After finishing all coupon cutting, she opened other bag and took 3-4 lottery, the one that we have to scratch.So now she started now scratching lotteries, again all wastes into me. I just realized that what ever she saved now from coupon were gone. One day I was standing in queue at Costco for checkout, a man who was standing in front of me had tons of ton items to checkout. I thought i might have to spent another hour or so to check out after him. He placed all items on checkout belt. As soon as, sales clerk started checking the items, he pulled a coupon

Google's Killer Application.

Already Microsoft getting heat from Google, that Google is capturing all critical functionalities from Microsoft office suite and developed online based Google Docs suite . From many of small business to individuals now using Google docs instead of expensive Microsoft office suite. Now Google released a "sharepoint killer application" named as Sites . It was just redesign of JotSpot wiki, which Google acquired some years back . I think that now Google can declare war against Microsoft office suite. Google has now all replacement products for Microsoft office. Actually now we are expecting a twist from Microsoft that they will release a online based mini office suite to fight against Google Apps.

Uncontrolled Musing

When I start thinking about future, my mind exploding without control, particularly current events and state of our economy. There is no definite answer to following questions. Are we at recession or depression or nothing? Occupywallstreet will become a revolutionary movement or just like tea party, it will also subside?   President Obama able to win job bill or it will go under water.   If we are not in recession, what is the status of this market? What will happen to 401k, IRA and other investments?   Are we bear market or bull market or pig? How many more days (months/years) we need to worry about our job?   When will my home value improves? The above all are somehow interrelated, a better economy spurs growth which will eliminate all uncertainty. But no one here able to pin point what went wrong and how to fix it. If we know the answer, we could have somehow fixed this mess already.The issues with unable to fix current state of economy are, Very complicated : This ec
