Tips to select a candidate…


When we talk about hiring the candidates, interview process comes up as the first thing in our mind. Without interviewing anyone, it is impossible to judge if he/she is a suitable candidate. But how does the interview process happening now in the IT industry? What time frame do we take to close a position? We do interviews and judge candidate on the following two methods only. I suddenly remember a zen story which describes the scenario better.
Now the story starts like this…..
Disciple X of a great zen guru clarifies a doubt with his master.
Disciple X: Master, I have a doubt to be clarified.
Master: Yes, goahead X.
Disciple X: What is love?
Master: Can you see a paddy field in front of you?
Disciple X: Yes master.
Master: Get inside the field and pick the tallest paddy crop of the entire field. But one condition, you can start from east to west, but you can’t turn back and see if the previous crop was a taller one than what you have in your hands.
Disciple X agreed, starts from east to west. First crop of the field seemed to be the tallest, but he had a curiosity to find the better and taller crop. He travelled much inside, saw another taller crop but still wanted to explore the best. Atlast he came to the end of west paddy field where he found that the first crop on the east field was the tallest ever he saw in the field. As he can’t turn back and check or pick the tallest he returned with the empty hands. He explained everything to his master and said he was looking for the best, but when the best has gone he couldn’t pick up again. Great zen master smiled at him and said, this is called as ‘Love’. You can’t get it back if you lose to choose once.
Then, disciple X asked another question, ‘Master, then what is marriage?’
Master: Same rules and laws applicable, but you have to choose the tallest bamboo tree from the nearby forest.
Disciple X immediately overlooked the eastern side of the forest and started cutting the first bamboo tree. When the great zen master asked why he didn’t went inside the forest to see if there are any other tallest tree than what he had. Disciple humbly said, ‘master, this time I don’t want to return in empty hands and not interested to hunt for the best to get disappointment. So I cut the first tallest tree I saw in the forest. Great zen guru said, ‘X this is called as marriage’.
Moral:
  • We always find our interviews between two different things. To see more candidates on finding the best and get disappointed at last or selecting the average candidate whom we see at first.
  • The selection process should not be dragged and the best candidates won’t wait for our feedback till we are in the process of finding the best.

Why indians are smart??


Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in Washington D.C. One from Bangladesh , another from India and the third, from China.

They go with a White House office to examine the fence.

The Bangladesh contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well”, he says, “I figure the job will run about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me)”.

The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me)”.

The Indian contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700.”

The official, outraged says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”

The Indian contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence.”

“Done!” replies the government official…

Someone’s perception on FAILURE


Today I was searching for a friend of mine and i slipped into someone’s profile on Facebook… I was quite impressed to see the Favorite Quote of this person which was inspiring and motivating… I wanted to share it with you all;

“If you fail, learn, and move on, you’re growing.” ~ Robert Kiyosaki

Have you ever failed? If not, I would guess that you have never taken a chance on trying anything new – or else you are lying.

There is nothing wrong with failing – as long as you learn from your mistakes, modify your approach and try again. In fact the more often you fail, the sooner it will be that you finally succeed – provided that you do learn and keep trying.

You can only grow from experience and you only get experience from having a go at something. It may be more pleasant to succeed, but you can actually learn more from failing. But this is only if you are observant and take note of what you are doing and which things have worked and which haven’t. You then need to analyze what has happened, alter your direction and move on.

So go for it! Try, try again and if you don’t at first succeed . . . then try yet again. You will eventually get there – unless you stop trying.

Got this forward from a friend of mine & I consider this a reality because I cane personally testify this myself…

Experience every facets of life


I found this on my friends FB wall & it attracted me as I went thru and will also face more such things… But I love to overcome such experiences;

I Was Not Born Experienced,

But,
The Hard Realities,
Deceiving Natures,
…Broken Promises,
Double Faces,
Attractive Words,
Melting Emotions,
Lovely Feelings,
Harsh Truths,
Bitter Behaviors,
Loving Attitude,
Ignoring Acts,
Multi Standards,
& False Statements.

These All Taught Me What Is Experience.

 

Smartness of a Beggar


A beggar found 100Rs
He decided to have a great dinner.

He went to a 5 star hotel & enjoyed the dinner.

When the bill was 3000, he said I have no money.

Manager called police and handed over the beggar to them.

The beggar gave 100Rs to policeman and set free 😉
This is FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT..!

Who is guilty???


Who’s guilty…?
Answer me if can…?

“Wife dreaming in the night suddenly shouts<

‘Quick my Husband is Back’

Man gets up Jumps out of the Window…

Then realizes Damn it…!?!

‘I am her Husband’¿”

This is life


When I got enough confidence,
the stage was gone.

When I was sure of losing,
…I won.

When I needed people the most,
they left me.

When I learnt to dry my tears,
I found a shoulder to cry on.

Wen I mastered the skill of hating,
somebody started loving me.

Attitude Needs To Develop


  1. When Snake is alive, Snake eats Ants. When Snake is dead, Ants eat Snake. Time can turn at any time. Don’t neglect anyone in your life…
  2. Never make the same mistake twice, there are so many new ones, Try a different one each day.
  3. A good way to change someone’s attitude is to change your own. Because, the same sun that melts butter, also hardens clay! Life is as we think, so think beautifully.
  4. Life is just like a sea, we are moving without an end. Nothing stays with us, what remains is just the memories of some people who touched us as Waves.
  5. Whenever you want to know how rich you are? Never count your currency, just try to Drop a Tear and count how many hands reach out to WIPE that- that is true richness.
  6. Heart tells the eyes see less, because you see and I suffer lot. Eyes replied, feel less because you feel and I cry a lot.
  7. Never change your originality for the sake of others, because no one can play your role better than you. So be yourself, because whatever you are, YOU are the best.
  8. Baby mosquito came back after 1st time flying. His dad asked him “How do you feel?” He replied “It was wonderful, Everyone was clapping for me!”Now that’s a Positive Attitude.
