Time flies so fast yet, we dont even want to move.

If i was a business man with a time machine (only a door required), I'm sure i will be a rich man by now.

Instructions:-
1)To enter the time machine door, you are only allowed to wear a robe and everything must be left behind.
2)50 cents per travel.
3)Once you enter the door don't turn back.
4)If you turn back the charge is RM 50.00.

A story to share:-

A guy came and said "are you sure that i can trust you and your machine?"

I said "When you don't try you will never know". So the guy took off his cloths and left it in the basket took the robe and put it on.  Then he said to himself "what is it got to lose if the fair is just 50 cents. When he entered the door and he was still there". The guy asked "He said have i changed?". Then i said "yes you have". He just smiled and walked away.

The moral of the story the guy knew that if he entered the door back he needs to pay RM50.00 + 50 cent. To him what is the point if he gets to take back what's his but still his just going through the same life without any improvement.

Instead he made a police report that his items was lost and work his ass out to get a better life instead of complaining.. =D

When there is no one around..

To become somebody known by the world must empower of knowledge and religion

PS:*Just what i have in mind.

Everybody would have the same feeling when they are alone. For me, that is what i feel now. Its not that i don't have friends but the feeling to be alone is sometimes is a great feeling but it gets awkward if you be alone all the time. People could see you have problems and so on. What i have in mind is that it would be very fun if we could be a person who is different where people don't really have to depend on each other. Its true having friends around us all the time is fun but we to do need our own quality time to do our own things for example watch movies listen to songs or reading any reading materials. I find that im more to be an independent person. This is because i tend to be a person who prefer to do things on my own even though there is quote saying two is better than one. To me its just ridiculous haha.. i rock my own world but not all the time.

"Good things comes to those who wait"

 Actually the reason i am writing is because i just felt like i want to. I would like to write another if there is a follower one or two how fun  it could be as i can change ideas and share stories or maybe secrets maybe. I need to get done my report before Monday because i need to submit it to my adviser since this would be my last year of study and i hope that i will be hold a DIPLOMA in my hand on this coming October. Who's there willing to come and give me a present on my achievement? If there's nobody ouh! Nevermind Ardika Congrats to yourself OK. hehe im crazy.. Sometimes i dont get what is wrong with me. What are the problems that i am facing. Is it because i like to mumble, just type as i like ? what i am going to be when i grow up? writer? haha who knows.. i hope there is a path for me to be a successful person in life as i promised myself to help mum. But mummy i think i want to further my studies i would like to hold a Degree pelease.. hehe is this too much? please let it be mummy. its for you too. If its troubling you i dont mind i will try hard and get a job a soon as possible and find my own way to get myself for Degree so that i dont have to depend on you anymore okei mum? For all this time you have inspire me so much, i will make sure the inspiration that i got from you will not fade as my love towards you gets stronger and stronger. I know you dont have the time to read this but its okei it would be better if its kept confidential. 

=D i hope i will continue writing in the future.

Wikis

Definition

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. It is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.

Learning network and Communication skills

What does it mean by learning and communicating?

From what i understand "Learning is the lifelong process of transforming information and experience into knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes". While communicating is "To express oneself in such a way that one is readily and clearly understood in other words talking or speaking to others either verbal or non-verbal. What i would like to talk about is Learning network and communication skills.

Understand the importance of communications

Clear communication is not easy. The method, context, structure, language, knowledge and an understanding of the needs of the recipients to whom the information is being transmitted are vital in understanding the importance of communication. Communication is a key element in any type of relationship, whether personal or business. Having the right communication skills can improve your relationships with co-workers, employees, employers, friends and family. Learning the skills for proper communication techniques can be acquired online through various websites and methods of training
 

How to improve online communication

1.       Put people before technology.

2.       Communicate online the same as you would in person. The same civility should be practiced in online communications as when you are face-to-face with an individual.

3.       Avoid unnecessary font styles, font colors or background "stationery." Technology may offer a variety of expressive tools you feel convey your individualism. Too often, unconventional stylings merely detract from your message.

4.       Check your sources before sharing information with others.

5.       Do not forward every memorable quote, funny video or heart-wrenchingly inspirational story to your friends. The more information you "pass along" to others, the less value your personal communication has. People value a message sent directly from you to them. When you continually send messages not originally from you, they no longer expect your communication to be personal, and will eventually ignore you.

6.       Avoid acronyms. BFF (best friend forever), IMHO (in my humble opinion) LOL (laughing out loud) may have once communicated how net-savvy you are, but now only serve as an impediment to interpersonal communication being treated with the respect it deserves. Not everyone knows what these acronyms mean.

7.       Overlook the mistakes of others. Those who have not yet discovered "Netiquette" require the same patience from you as exercised by others when you too were ignorant of how your communication was being perceived.
