Google, Google and Google…

G1- The next big thing in mobile market is not yet in market but ask any techie he will list down almost all the features of it. I have not seen G1 but have read a lot on many web sites, reviews about it. To tell you in brief G1 is loaded with Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail with Contacts, Calendar, Google Talk and YouTube.

After proving its mettle in World Wide Web from product like Google Search, Gmail, Orkut etc, it is now trying to capture the fastest growing market of “Telecom World” which grew from 1.6 billion in September 2007 to 5.1 billion in September 2008 [Source: AdMob Mobile Metrics Report]. What I can see around in near future is Google, Google and Google everywhere. Buying mobile OS start-up “Android” and then venturing into mobile market to tap the mobile business is one of the most calculated step of Google which hint about the way Google want to be market leader. Today evening when I was going through “Read Write Web” site, BlogRovr indicated a new blog update about Google’s acquisition of new Blog site “TNC” which is more popular than Google’s Blogger in Korea. The sole reason of acquisition was making its presence felt in Korea.

The 3 qualities that will always help you become better at almost anything…

You separate yourself fro m  the masses when you choose to give that task a finish.  The first quality is finishing off what you started and it helps develop mental stamina or willpower.   It builds confidence and inculcates as a habit in a long run. You don’t need to sign up for the mammoth activity to build this habit, even finishing mundane day-to-day routine tasks will help. Diligence — the quality of working carefully and with a lot of effort Diligence is a quality that almost never will get unnoticed. It’s one of the underlying traits of grea...

Embracing the Journey: Finding Joy in the Process

Image
 In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing our goals. Whether it's a career milestone, a fitness target, or a financial aim, we often fixate on the end result. But recently, I came across a quote by Sal Di Stefano that struck a chord with me: “The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination.” Rediscovering the Joy of the Journey This quote reminded me of something profound – the importance of loving the journey, not just the destination. When we enjoy the process itself, we find a deeper, more sustainable source of motivation. This mindset can be a game-changer, not just professionally but personally as well. A Personal Anecdote: My Professional Journey Let me share a bit of my own experience.
