The Paradoxes of Servant Leadership

Leave a Comment

I love this poem, which describes the paradoxes of being a "Servant-Leader".

Strong enough to be weak

Successful enough to fail

Busy enough to make time

Wise enough to say "I don't know"

Serious enough to laugh

Rich enough to be poor

Right enough to say "I'm wrong"

Compassionate enough to discipline

Mature enough to be childlike

Important enough to be last

Planned enough to be spontaneous

Controlled enough to be flexible

Free enough to endure captivity

Knowledgeable enough to ask questions

Loving enough to be angry

Great enough to be anonymous

Responsible enough to play

Assured enough to be rejected

Victorious enough to lose

Industrious enough to relax

Leading enough to serve

Poem by Brewer --- as cited by Hansel, in Holy Sweat, Dallas Texas, Word, 1987.

Amazing interview

Leave a Comment
Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Candidate: I am Rameshwar. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Inst it ute of Technology.

Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Inst it ute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!
Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it...
What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! In 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of money". (The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya

Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.
Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.

Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot… I think they should ban it.

Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.
Candidate: No, no... I am talking about Exams!!

Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?
Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it . In fact, when I flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra) through some relative.

Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?
Candidate: he he he... Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education it self was so much of pain!!

Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)

Interviewer: And which languages have you used?
Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages.

Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?
Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up w it h a new language VD!

Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.

Interviewer: What is your general project experience?
Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of the times they are in pipeline!

Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?
Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata Info Tech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was software like Windows.

Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?

Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand..
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as avoiding breakdown due to overwork.
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there are Olympics coming up in China in the current year, I don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?

Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome to INFOSYS.

The fellow was appointed in a newly created section 'Stress Management' in the HRD of Info sys.
 
So Just be urself......u never knw wats ahead of u....... Be Honest and Original...............true to urself!!!!

Importance Of Canonicalization

Leave a Comment
In Search Engine Optimization, Canonicalization is a process for converting URL that has more than one possible representation into a "standard", "normal", or canonical form.

For example, most people would consider these URLs as same.
www.example.com,example.com/,www.example.com/index.html,example.com/home.asp. But technically these URLs are different. A web server could return completely different content for all the above URLs. Canonicalization is the process to pick the best URL among several choices. Canonicalization gives uniqueness for a page. Canonicalized web pages have unique PR and Unique Rankings in search Engines 

Methods of Canonicalization

Redirections:
URL redirection or domain redirection is a simple technique to make a web page available under many URLS. Use server side redirection methods of 301 for all non-www to www redirection in htaccess file. 301 redirection is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. The code "301" is understand as "moved permanently". 

Webmaster tools:
Go to Google web master tools and select the option called preferred domain
To specify your preferred domain: 
On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want. 
In the Site configuration, click Settings.
At Preferred domain section, select the option you want.

Use Canonical Attribute:
Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have just announced a new tag, which we can use to tell the search engines which URL it should consider for the current page. This is better explained with an example, so here goes. 

Specify the canonical version using a tag in the head section of the page as follows

You can only use the tag on pages within a single site (subdomains and subfolders are fine).
You have the option of using relative or absolute links, but search engines propose absolute links.

Use Of Web Directories?

Leave a Comment
Use Of Web Directories?

A typical website may get more traffic from search engines than from a web directory, but don't let that keep you from using web directory submissions. Before you begin using web directories, you should consider the following because by learning about web directories can help you succeed when using them.

When internet surfers browse a web directory, they are there for a reason. They are looking for specific information and will typically have better luck finding it on a directory. This means that the traffic from directories is highly targeted and that means a good chance of conversion with your products or services.
