Glaring Sky

It is said that when life becomes boring and walks at snail's pace; one should stop for a while and try to think that in what direction life is going, because to move, first we have to ask ourselves "Where?" 

Well, right now it is that evening like any other day, the time when sun is almost across the sea and land is ready to be covered in the darkness. Avian, in groups, are returning to their sweet home, while nocturnal are getting ready for workout; coming out from the shadows to the shadows. Who knows, what they think about darkness, after all they are not the like minded to those who search for visible spectra of light waves. I don't have to think this much! I am an educated person and I know all the reasons or maybe almost, about all the things that I can see, but today I am feeling a bit tired. Maybe it is slump & lump that I am feeling now a days.

Today I've decided to be vacant so that I can think. I want to descry the reasons behind the lacking in life. No! I do not earn less, I have everything but might not sufficient. I have had some dreams, maybe quite impossible, during my childhood they weren't. As time goes on, one grows up and confronts the reality of world, then every task, every dream, every thinking & every act that provide satisfaction seem very unrealistic and impossible. One decides to go to moon but planning end up in a multi national company or somewhere else as an employer or employee.

They are lucky who live the dreams that they see with eyes wide open.

I am walking along the shore and suddenly I stumbled upon something. I can't see it clearly as it is dusk and almost the first part of night. A voice has came "Bless me! I am sorry sire! It is my property that I forgot here". I've recognized the man. It is the vendor who daily come to the beach and do his business. "It's fine, please take it away from here, it could hurt somebody." I say. "Sure sire! un-momento please, let me huddle it and bind together" He says. "You generally be bygone till now, why are you late today, is everything working out good for you" I asked in friendly manner? "Yes, everything is fine, thank you for asking, sir." He says; he is smiling and his accent is so fine that I can not say if he is in problem even a bit.

It is 3 day after the new moon, still, tides are noisy and high. I start to speak again to him "It is a normal day, the surrounding still seems very dark, isn't it? "Oh I don't know very well, sir." He speaks. From here on, a communication has established between us.

I : What do you mean?

Vendor : This is a relative vision of everyone, who sees what depends on the individual vision, you are a scholar, you understand it well enough, right?

I : I like to believe it, but I'd like to discuss, if you have time.

Vendor: Sure, my house is half mile away from here, we can walk to there together, if you will, sir.

I : I will.

We starts to walk slowly, I have many questions for him. Maybe, in prejudice of my higher education, I have a belief that I will outwit him during conversation. That is whether right or wrong, I don't know it yet.

Vendor : You see that if people are happy & confident, they feel up. Everything for them become lucid. For some this is a very dark night and for some it is a shiny night, full of star.

I : Yes, that is true, but talking logically, it is a bit dark and silent. You know 3 or 2 days ago it was new moon.

Vendor : What is absolute logic when everything is relative in the universe? It is all about how we see things.

He was firm on his point and that is the reason of pique that I am feeling, somewhere I know that he is proving me wrong effectively, but negativity still has an effect on me.

I : So you want to say that for you it is a starry night and very fine surrounding. You may not feel the originality then, my friend. (Smirking myself)

He : (He smiles at me) I know the truth, it is just absence of light and rhythmic sound that you call dark and silence. But the case which is more important is that what part of yours is prone to feel these things rather than opposite ones?

This time I've given up and started to listen to him.

He : You are lament, something inside you bugging you too much and you gave up so you lost the hope that there will be a morning after some hours.

He can read my face, clearly. I inhale a long breath.

I : You know what, you are right, I am off the track. You are right, I should be optimistic, but you are wrong about light, there is time till the sunlight reaches here. (I smiled at my joke)

He : (He laughed as well) You are still trying to win the conversation and that is laudable, but I am afraid that you lost the debate already.

I : How so? 

He : This is just half of the earth where the rays are not present, half world is still shining and so are you.....

We are at his door, thanking each other, we both move to our directions.

It was a relief! I understand it all now that what is like to see glass, half full of water. I, immediately give up all the luridness in me and gather all the mental and physical power I have and I know exactly what to do next irrespective of the fact that now I am not worried about the results anymore.

My steps are now energetic and LOOK! Night is a bit beautiful now than before...   

Have a shiny day & beautiful night everyone!

What You Should Do for Sure Success

"It's been a long time and I am a little bit rusty, still I can remember how I worked too hard for success". You would have listened this statement too many times when people remember about their past because now a days you are facing defeat. There is something you always want to know that why the success always slip away from your hand. Tell you what! here are some itsy-bitsy, yet significant reasons of continuous delay.

My plan doesn't work out well

"What a debacle it is!" That's what you think after watching the result of your work, after months & years and what you get are some remarks of people that what you should have done and you get pretty pissed off about all of this. 

Here is the real thing; In the real world the execution of the plan has never been too easy. When you make a plan and implement it, there is always a "Probability" of both failure and success. You should be ready for every outcome because your plan is just another experiment towards finding the perfect "foolproof" plan. That doesn't mean that you should take too many chances, all I want to convey to you is that everyone needs rehearse before the final go.

For an instance if you are going to take your Harvard Business School test in the upcoming year and you know that passing examination won't be easy then you should make plans about how to study & what to study & then take practice test and compare your performance. If you aren't satisfied, then try out a new plan and then select the strategy which suits you best. That is only possible with consistency in practice. You need to adapt the conditions by practicing your limits in experimental conditions.

A winning effort begins with preparation.

- Joe Gibbs

Patience is the key to success

How much you are desperate to achieve your motto? Can you live without thinking about it even for a second? If your answer is no, then well done! You deserve to be a winner, still you have a head-ache about the result and you don't know that you penchant to be successful by all heart but you can't concentrate on work. Well the answer is easy you are "DESPERATE" not "DEDICATED" that's why you deserve to win but you'll perhaps win. The difference is very easy that when you are really driven to work hard sometime result comes slowly and you need a hell of a patience that time because great success never comes the easy way. 

"Success is all about achieving result at the right time, even on the wrong turn"   

Top 5 habits that decide your career

People think that minor things are minor & they do not affect our lives much. You ever heard like

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."Vincent Van Gogh

That's true, this is why we shouldn't neglect minor things or habits. Habits are the acts that possess 80% of total ways that are used to do some work in our daily life. Interesting, isn't it? This article will describe you that what habits of yours clarify that in what thing you are good so that you should choose your career accordingly. 

1. You talk too much- People around you run away from you just because of your blabbering habit, also you are not so good at keeping secrets. This suggest that you are made for being some T.V. celeb like Anchor or Radio Jockey, but that's not it! You have many other career options as you can talk for hours without a "Mass Communication Degree". As if you talk too much in front of many people, but effectively & maintaining good humor, then you have a better scope in door to door Marketing, Campaigning, Teaching Personality development classes (for speaking), Stand Up Orator and much more.

All you have to do is to recognize that where and when you can talk effectively, even talking needs a better plan, right folks? So next time Speak out loud!

2. You debate on everything- You find every statement & every action debatable. You only agree on something when you find its logical explanation otherwise you remain unsatisfied and unrest. This is not a bad habit even if other get annoyed because you have a great career in Analyst, Critics & other Strategic Planning jobs in multi-national organizations.

Only one thing you need to maintain is that every logic should be based on the true ground & facts and also develop habit to listen others as well so as to see every side of a matter. This will increase the ability of reasoning and people will listen to you in a positive way.

3. You calculate everything- You find it hard to do every thing without thinking its variables. You make budgets, making list of things that you want in specific numbers, you count days in calendars for every upcoming event, you have a pocket diary in which you mention every detail with numbers & sometimes you draw mathematical graphs of daily expenditure & savings for fun! Of course, you adapt a calculative manner of working and it is a great habit.

The options for your career are wide open as Analyst, Mathematician, Bank jobs, Accountancy & some other scientific and professional fields.  

4. You read everything & every detail, even a boring book too!- Of course, you are a bibliophile, for you there is a beauty in every word & you imagine a vivid which helps you to understand better. sometimes you even read tough books too which are of your elder brother or younger kin. In short you are in love with books.

You are a scholar in simple words, but when it comes to career, you are lucky that scholars have hundred's of options for job that's why they termed as Scholar. You know a li'l bit of everything that allows you to try any job in starting. If your reading habit at its extreme than being a Librarian, writer, teacher, reader, proof reader, research work & theoretical streams of every field suits you best.

5. You do nothing, but rest, yet you want money for living!- This case is very much complex for those who believes in hard work. It is quite simpler case for believers of fate & destiny, but now see it as by the point of view of the those persons who want to do nothing. They actually wish to do hard work, but they get exhausted very soon by everything they do. They want a simple thing that they work swiftly without any tension and pressure and then they get money in amount that satisfy their needs.

You know what, these are the peoples who are wanted in every organization and company culture! Can't believe? But it's true. These kind of people always find a smart way of every work that consist less work, lesser time & more output, in other words we can state it as "Astounding efficiency". Software developer, Game developer, Website Developer, Equity market jobs & Ethical hacking are some of the jobs that suits best for these people as these jobs needs mind and smart approach rather than hardcore field work.

How to Get Ideas to Write the Blog Content

Whenever we think to write, wait!! We have to think before we write & that's the point! The topic is straight and simple "How to get ideas to write the blog content?" or should I say "Where to get the ideas"? Let's not make it more confusing and come to the point. Here are the 5 top places where you will find the ideas to write. Also we will do the SWOT analysis (A marketing term of Strength, weakness, opportunities & threats) about every method that we are going to use.

Social Media- It is very usual to write about ongoing events, jibber-jabbers in media gallery & other hot topics around the world. You can choose any topic, like Cinema, Techno news, economic ups & downs, political talks, Social trends, Social campaigns' news & many other topics like this.

• Strength : You never will be out of the write up related to the news. There are always plethora things to write when you are associated with current affairs and news.
• Weakness: There is a hell of a COMPETITION, many news channel and social media sites are ahead of you, so it is too hard to get attention of viewers.  

Books and movies: One of my friends watched the movie "The Imitation Game", he was so inspired by the movie that he made a blog for it, which has all the main information, about cast and crew, related facts of the movie & story line & every possible piece of info. Other than this I have seen guys writing on their blogs the topics-

X seasons you should watch.

X reasons to watch Z movie.

X books you should read before you die.

How X movie should end

So now you might have many ideas if you are a reader or a movie/season lover.

• Strength: People are more influenced by the thinking of a book/movie/season, they become fans of these things and eventually they become fans of your blog too, based on these topics.
• Weakness:You need to think harder about the message conveyed by the specific books/movie/season. It is not very hard if you are a movie maniac, but it won't work if you are not very much interested and do not watch or read profoundly.

Social Cause: There are many problems that you can see in the world and you want to appeal and talk to the people about those issues then this is beyond just an idea. You really thinking very well. You may write on water crisis, global warming, education of weak and poor, helping to a specific society or people. I am also associated with the famous site working for social cause- Globalcitizen.org

• Strength:This is the best you can do, to fight for a cause or to raise your voice for the betterment of humankind. People will definitely support you.
• Weakness: Although we should not see the profit or loss for a social cause but still if you think the weakness of this great idea, then it would be that people may not notice you in the beginning, you have to do more work out of home rather than typing in your blog. Once you get the attention, your blog will be your voice then.

Things that make you wonder: This is the simplest way that shows you an idea of a lifetime. Your curiosity raises questions and when you try to find the answers, then you also want to share it with like minded people and from here the journey of blog writing starts. You can write about science, historical facts or cooking. You will see blogs like:

Why republic day is celebrated

Why reading is important

Why boys are attracted towards girls

What were the reasons of french revolution

How night and day happens

• Strength: Curiousness and questions are like urge for people. If you write very good & correct answers, then you don't need to make extra efforts to fetch viewers, all you need to do is to raise the right question.
• Weakness: You have to study and understand the things better and then the expression must be understandable when you write it for readers.

Pick up Ideas from the surroundings: Well, this is a little bit tricky. You need more imagination & presence of mind to do that. The great authors and writers do the same thing. It is like the art of extempore. You go through a situation which ignites an idea suddenly to your mind. For example: This morning I was cooking the noodles, but as it was my first time I blew up the whole party and that gave me an idea that I should learn and then write about cooking food and dishes so that I can help others like me and I made a blog that instant:

How to cook X 

What shouldn't do while cooking X

What to do for a better test in X meal

Sometimes you can think extraordinary like, you are in a boredom state of mind and then you think like what is your motto in the life and suddenly you get your philosophical story as

Why we exist

What is the aim of human life

These are just examples, this is a broad category of ideas if you can see and think about the things and happenings around you. It is like you have infinite ideas from now on.

• Strength: Your imagination gets stronger and it develops a quality of narrator in you. You can become more than a blogger some day.
• Weakness: If the topics are too arbitrary, then sometimes you can out of articles and also trivial ideas won't work, blog writing become diary writing if viewers don't come so you need to decide first that you are writing for yourself or for readers.

   

Top 5 methods to ensure spammer's/fake identity

Hello story lovers!, these days I am stressing on essays & articles focused on social media content and their marketing because the world is online, we can share what we want to, so why not talk about some things that could hinder you from sharing, irritates you too much & sometimes it can harm you as well. It would be better if we share the methods to prevent these situations and for that, first we have to understand the problem, so, would you mind if I, first, tell you the reasons of spamming and identities of spam? No, you wouldn't mind? Then good for your online health! Let's talk about this.

What is a spam?

According to the universally adopted definition- "A spam is irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc." Well, that is the spam. Spam may be a recognized term for you if you use E-mails and it is almost harmless, as it is just a message and mail also filters it for you, but if you are on social sites then you certainly would be looking the other form of spam or fake advertising via messages or posts, Which could mean you harm financially or meant to take the advantage of you as for obtaining 'click' on a link. In other words you can see it as dodge/Ponzi scheme. You are an active blogger, website manager or a person having an online presence where you have to buy 'likes' or 'fans' then you are the most likely target of spammers.

The 5 proved signs of spammers/fake ads (Based on expert's theory and my analysis over time)

Fake promises- This is a very first move of a spammer. They sent or advertise a tempting message in their short description. They promise you million of views in very short time like a day for some dollars (or any currency). This advertisement or message is so tempting that you couldn't resist yourself from "Take a look" despite of your logic that denies any real existence of the other. Observe this-

                                                                              

Message from an anonymous profile or account id- You have a message from someone whose name is appearing but no authentic profile pic that you can see then it could be fake, you can go on this profile and you should dig up any information provided on the profile associated with this anonymous sender.

Fake advertising posts with no comments or only with good comments of people who're seemed to be fake- Well, this is a tricky one! You see an advertising post and then to check reliability you look into the comment section. Here if you find no comments then you should avoid trying and if you see some good comments then this could be the case where the advertiser does fake comments by other ids to make it real. You can contact or ask for some more details, but don't go directly to spend some money even if they provide some "visitors or like" before payment because it is not too hard to provide some fake likes for short duration which are not organic but hard to mark as fake.

Writing style- Are you a fan of "Sherlock Holmes"? If not then become one because in the today's context where fraudulent is at peak, you should have the capability to isolate right from wrong. This is similar with these spammers. There is a specific touch in writing style of the spammers. Always notice that a trusted company or individual-

1. Never send you a message.

2. Post with high quality graphics which send a message  (not a personal message with or without messages).

Now, about writing style, you could have been noticed that they use words which are very old in sales (door to door/ t.v, radio marketing) and their stress on those words too much, such as-

• "Free Free Free! Yes, it totally cost you nothing"
• "This is no joke! Try it today, click the link below"
• "All work is original, see the comments of people in image given below"

Many more sentences like this you will observe, but everyone knows that good company or famous experts never promise too tempting and doesn't post these badly structured advertisements. Companies and professionals only talk about the real situation with their real market prices in good advertisements and no personal messages.

You have won a offer! Wait! Really?- Oh no! You couldn't be lucky that you have been doing work, but not this much that you won a great concession or jackpot offer from a company while you never contacted before to any company. Of course, there is a 99.99 % chance that it is fake. You know you just have to delete that message instantly from your log.

Apart from this, spams or part of E-mail which also has some characteristics, even though mail, filters it for you, but sometimes spammers take a smart move, so here are the indications that will help you stay one step ahead from spammers-

1. Recipient’s email address is not in the To: or Cc: fields
2. Message body contains remote image
3. From: and Reply To: address are different
4. Message contains only HTML body
5. Message contains many or only tags

These are the some general indications that you could have a spam mail. Spam is not a great threat at all, but next time, whenever you think to spend some money then you should be aware a Li'l bit with whatever you are watching at is true or not.

In the next part I will share some easy steps about prevention from spammers and methods that will work as a confirmatory test if you are serious about an advertisement or a message.

Have a nice day!
