Yesterday went with my dad to his playground. Its was a big garrage
where he has spend most of his work life. His playground includes
trucks, grease, mechanics and drivers.

Likewise my playground is software tool development in engineering
domain!! This is where I feel I can work without external motivations.

How to maximum out of the current job opportunities?

If you are registered to a job site like naukri or monster, you might
be receiving a flux of opportunities. It seems aerospace hiring is
getting lot of attention this time.

So what are the steps that you can take today so that you don't miss
the opportunity!!

First thing is update your resume. Add all the new skills you have
learned,add the new projects you worked on. Then upload it to the jobs
site.

Now look at the resume you just uploaded and on the requirements that
are availablee on the job site. Match which requirement fits closest
to your profile.

If you find one then concentrate on those requirements and brush up
all the relevant topics of that project or skills required. If it's
catia, brush up that project where you used catia, take up the
tutorials of catia and dust your knowledge of the tool itself.

If you don't find an exact match of requirements for your skills, look
for the skills that can be easily built. Look for the skills that you
are also interested in but don't have yet.

Apply for that requirement anyways. And along with that develop a plan
to study/add that skills to your profile by working on some task
related to it for a hour or so everyday.

The main point of the post is act. Act now. Either the requirements
will match you or you make yourself to match the skills. Doing nothing
is not an option. So getup and roll the ball!!

Ask or no one will know!!

Two days back I went to a bank and saw two people going from one
counter to other, reading signs on boards. From there looks, it was
clear they were looking for some forms.

They combed the bank floor several times, searching for some forms.
This continued for 15 mins. But they never approached anybody. Neither
of them asked anyone in those minutes.

But finally one of them buckled and asked a person and they were out
of the bank in two minutes with their query solved.

The point is to ask. Ask when you are in doubt. Ask when you don't
know. Ask when you are new!!

Remember this when you are in a lecture class and don't understand
something. Ask. If you don't noone will help you.

Remember this when you are doing training and are stuck in same old
work. Ask. Because if you don't noone will know!!

Quotes from 2009 to inspire

Last year during mid may, i began collection quotes, snippets of writings that i liked. here is the complete quotes that i collected.

Hope they inspire you as they do to me when i read them. That tie, since i was collecting them for myself so i didn’t bother collecting the sources, so most of them are unacknowledged here.

But most of them are online on some blogs and articles which i visited last year.

 

• Learn the methodology and the process than the tools... so don't Lose the wood for the tree!!!
• Focus is the key. The big lesson I took from Outliers  was that consistent practice over a long period pays off. It takes a lot of practice to become great at something - but if you want to leave your mark and truly become an outlier, you need to start cracking. Three hours a day for ten years should do the trick.
• People are far more likely to embrace a smaller goal that feels likely than they are to devote themselves day and night to the amorphous jackpot.
• Murakami remarks:
  If I am asked what the next most important quality is for a novelist, that 's easy too: focus - the ability to concentrate all your limited talents on whatever's critical at the moment. Without that you can't accomplish anything of value.
• Will Wright said he's learned the most from games that seemed appealing on paper, but were failures in the marketplace. "I actually ask people when hiring how many failures they've worked on," he said, "and I'm actually more likely to hire someone based on how many failures they've experienced. I think it's the best learning system."
• I strongly suggest your first game is not a very hard game. You should not spend a lot of time on it and you should not plan on making a lot of money from it. Your first game should be a learning experience. It should be a lesson you start, and finish, and move on from. Try to do the best you can, but don't try to make Doom your first game. >
• Impressiveness, on the other hand, comes from doing things very well in a way that defies expectation
• The relationship between reward and skill level is not linear, but, instead, exponential
• One does not discover new lands without losing sight of the shore.  ~unknown
• You can't direct the wind, but you can adjust your sail ~unknown
• The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. - Michelangelo
• Giving in early makes it easier to keep the important stuff in later
• You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself.
• Doubt is the father of invention.
• Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so
• I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
• If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.
• I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night
• To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe. -Marilyn vos Savant
• I think the reason so many people lose isn't because they weren't swinging hard enough. It's because they quit too early after striking out.
• Make the gross adjustments first, and then work on the finer adjustments.
• whether you have the best plan constantly, it's more important that you simply stick to a plan
• If you want to change what your boss believes, or the strategy your company is following, the first step is to figure out how to be the best informed person in the room
• Basically, he said he starts with the first scene in mind, and the last. Then he just starts. Sometimes he gets stuck (which is why he brought back a character from 15 years ago). But he said he wants to spend his time working on his book, not " working" on outlines and plans.
• William L. McKnight, then CEO of 3M, said in 1924: If you put fences around people, you get sheep. Give people the room they need."
• Many years ago during a televised interview, the actor Rod Steiger was asked if young people ever asked him for advice. "Oh yeah, sure, all the time, and I always ask them the same question: Do you want to be an actor...or do you HAVE TO BE AN ACTOR? The longer it takes them to answer, the less chance they'll ever make it."
• It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. Henry David Thoreau
• "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." - Antoine De Saint-Exupery
• People who actively look for the "best" parking place in a parking lot outside a mall, say, inevitably spend more total time than people who just take the first open spot they see.

Lesson of choice from Richard Branson – How to choose stream and training?

Read this just an hour ago and liked it so much that i am posting here. Do read the following its just one line.

When asked in a TV chat show what he would do if he lost all his money, entrepreneur Richard Branson replied simply: “I would find something interesting to do”.

This applies not only to Richard Branson, but to everyone. Do Something that you find interesting. Do something that you love. This is where success is.

For AeSI students on the verge of choosing a stream for section B, i will say. Follow what Richard Branson says. Follow your passions.

If electrical sets the current in you, then avionics is the stream your compass is pointing. If wind tunnels fascinate you, its pointing you somewhere. Look in that direction.

Your natural skills, the subjects you enjoy, the things you do in your spare time, the magazine that you look for in a book mall, are better indicator of success in future than external reasons, so find them. Know what you like and choose that appropriate steam!

Same goes for training. Don't select the one that is available, select the one that your mental compass points you at. Select the one that you know/feel is made for you.

• Avionics is the hottest stream in terms of job opportunity...
• Not finishing section A in the stipulated 2 years
• Follow your passion

Walk-in at TCS Bangalore on 23rd January 2010 (Saturday)

From the AeSIAA group.

Dear members,
There is walkin in TCS for all Domains.
CAE- Hypermesh is also one of them, in which most of us are working.
But I don't know how-long Companies will not consider AeSI like degrees.
As in eligibility criteria its mention.

As per my knowledge IIT Madras Mtech+Aesi guys are working in TCS, I request to them please insist to H.R for AeSI guys ELEGIBILITY.

http://groups.google.com/group/aesiaa/browse_thread/thread/5a471af78648da28/ef80678ba7749922?show_docid=ef80678ba7749922

I totally agree when guys only with AeSI degree can work in Rolls-Royce and GE then why not in TCS or any other company.

I think this is not the failure of the company or AeSI but failure of AeSI folks who come out of aesi. They should promote themselves. They know they are good, then why feel shame.

Go ahead make people aware of your clan, about your degree.
