Unlived Life #IYW

As a philosopher Socrates once said, the unexamined life is not worth living. But the opposite is also true. The unloved life is not worth examining. – Swami Beyondananda

Have a Joyous Festive Season and Great 2012.

This season reminds me of selfless love, spirit of giving, loving, remembering, gratefulness, sharing, caring and a lot more. As I remember my friends, family, bloggers, authors and all those people who have touched my life thus far, I feeling I get is better left unexplained. All I will say is I feel blessed to have each of you as part of my life and THANK YOU.

HAVE a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. May next year brings you happiness that matters to you. Keep in touch.

Computers are for you to use

Computers and gadgets are for you to use. You can do as little or as much as you want with them. You can be productive or spend all the time searching through other people’s lives.

Have I found a productivity secret?

I think I can follow this mantra for my whole life. No, this is no secret either.

What ‘Ambitious’ are you?

We’re not big fans of what I consider “vertical” ambition—that is, the usual career-path trajectory, in which a newbie moves up the ladder from associate to manager to vice president over a number of years of service. On the other hand, we revere “horizontal” ambition—in which employees who love what they do are encouraged to dig deeper, expand their knowledge, and become better at it. We always try to hire people who yearn to be master craftspeople, that is, designers who want to be great designers, not managers of designers; developers who want to master the art of programming, not management.

The above article has made me think about ‘Ambition’ and being ‘Ambitious’. There is a need to recognize the fact about having two types of ambitious people, vertical and horizontal. Secondly people on both sides of horizon need to respect each other. In this world we need people of both the types.

In various aspects of our life, we can be vertically ambitious in certain aspects and horizontally ambitious in others.

I am vertically ambitious when it comes to my career but horizontal ambitious when it comes to other aspects of my life.

What about you?
