Blog Makeover!

Posted by NoeL on Saturday, June 13, 2009 , under , , , | comments (7)



My blog took its birth on 3rd May 2008 and from then till date, it has not changed its looks... I was intending to do a makeover for a long time now! And, today is the day!

I am planning to put "Falkner Press" template. I have already started integrating the template with my list of widgets.

The current list of widgets/codes used on this site are given below.

Heading:-

  • Blog Title:- Wandering Thoughts from My Life!
  • Blog Description:- My Thoughts! My Interests! My Activities!

Body:-

  • Search Box - Blogger Default
  • Text1 - Quotes
  • Blogposts
  • HTML/Javascript - Stats.
  • I also recommend reading... - Blogger Default.

Bottom Panel:-

  • HTML/Javascript - Bottom Panel - Adbrite
  • Disclaimer
Side Bar top:-
  • About Me!
  • Google Translate
  • Subscribe To My Feed - Blogger Default
  • HTML/Javascript - Feedburner
  • Labels - Alphabetically - Blogger Default
  • Blog Archieve - Blogger Default
  • HTML/Javascript - Community Widgets (MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog, FriendConnect etc.)

Side Bar Bottom:-

  • Blogs I deem worthy of my Time! - Blogger Default - Add from Google reader etc.
  • Blogrolling
  • Live Traffic Feed
  • ShoutMix
  • No of Times this Blog Has been Visited!
  • My Blog is Listed at!
  • Vote for My Blog!
  • My Latest Movies - Blogger Default (List)

Are these 'too many' or 'too little'? Is there any widget/code I can add to my blog to increase its viewership and Google Page Rank? My current Page Rank is 2.

Here is the image showing the SEO statistics of my website.

Readers, let me know your suggestions.

Don’t Change the World

Posted by NoeL on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 , under | comments (3)



Guys!

Here is a little story which I got from the 'ever inspiring' Pravs World. I loved it. Read it below.

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country.


When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.


Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?”


The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself.


There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story:


“To make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.”

MBA Tips - Group Discussion

Posted by NoeL on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 , under , , , , , | comments (0)



Making a good impression while speaking in meetings or interviews is the basic skill every professional should have.

What skills are judged in group discussion?

  • How good you are at communication with others.
  • How you behave and interact with group.
  • How open minded are you.
  • Your listening skill.
  • How you put forward your views.
  • Your leadership and decision making skills.
  • Your analysis skill and subject knowledge.
  • Problem solving and critical thinking skill.
  • Your attitude and confidence.
Do’s and Don’ts of Group discussion:
  1. Keep eye contact while speaking: Do not look at the evaluators only. Keep eye contact with every team member while speaking.
  2. Initiate the GD: Initiating the GD is a big plus. But keep in mind - Initiate the group discussion only when you understood the GD topic clearly and have some topic knowledge. Speaking without proper subject knowledge is bad impression.
  3. Allow others to speak: Do not interrupt anyone in-between while speaking. Even if you don’t agree with his/her thoughts do not snatch their chance to speak. Instead make some notes and clear the points when it’s your turn.
  4. Speak clearly: Speak politely and clearly. Use simple and understandable words while speaking. Don’t be too aggressive if you are disagreeing with someone. Express your feelings calmly and politely.
  5. Make sure to bring the discussion on track: If by any means group is distracting from the topic or goal then simply take initiative to bring the discussion on the track. Make all group members aware that you all need to come to some conclusion at the end of the discussion. So stick to the topic.
  6. Positive attitude: Be confident. Do not try to dominate anyone. Keep positive body language. Show interest in discussion.
  7. Speak sensibly: Do not speak just to increase your speaking time. Don’t worry even if you speak less. Your thoughts should be sensible and relevant instead of irrelevant speech.
  8. Listen carefully to others: Speak less and listen more! Pay attention while others are speaking. This will make coherent discussion and you will get involved in the group positively. You will surely make people agree with you.
  9. No need to go into much details: Some basic subject analysis is sufficient. No need to mention exact figures while giving any reference. You have limited time so be precise and convey your thoughts in short and simple language.
  10. Formal dressing: Do not take it casually. No fancy and funny dressing. You should be comfortable while speaking in group. Positive gesture and body language will make your work easy.

Mariah Carey - There's A Hero

Posted by NoeL on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 , under , |



Here is a song from the singer Mariah Carey which was dedicated to me today by someone special. I loved the song and thought of sharing the same with you all. :)

Lyrics:-
There's a hero,
If you look inside your heart,
You don't have to be afraid of what you are,
There's an answer,
If you reach into your soul,
And the sorrow that you know will melt away.
[chorus]


And then a hero comes along,
With the strength to carry on,
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive,
So when you feel like hope is gone,
Look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.


It's a long road,
When you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold,
You can find love,
If you search within yourself,
And the emptiness you felt will disappear.
[chorus]


Lord knows,
Dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away,
Hold on,
There will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way.
[chorus]


That a hero lies in.....you______
Ooohh that a hero lies in.....you_____________ 


If you liked it, let me know your comments...


Cheers

How Far You Go In Life

Posted by NoeL on Monday, March 2, 2009 , under | comments (3)




How far you go in : life depends
on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the struggling,
and tolerant of the weak and the strong
because,
someday you will have been all of these.
