How I Wish I Had A Company Like This..

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google and Hal Varian, consultant of Google had wrote an article-

Google: Ten Golden Rules. After reading those 10 rules, I wish I own a company like Google. I know it is a long way to go if I ever would build a company like that on my own. Guess I have to keep on searching and looking forward.

Top 3 Reasons of Working in Small Companies

My boss is a good friend of my father's. It is one of the reason I haven't been job hopping for a while which is quite often known for youngsters such as myself. For the past 2 years I've been involved in the working life, I have been with 4 different companies. I've seen how big companies operate, I have also seen how small companies do and very small companies perform. Each one of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.

So, today I would like to highlight some of the advantages that you can get if you choose to work with small companies. In today's oversupply of jobless graduate, personally I encourage those who are jobless to join micro small or small companies as their stepping stone if they have attempted using the traditional way to climb the corporate ladder and failed but really wish to embark on a corporate path for big companies.

1) You'll learn about almost everything about anything the company does.

In small companies, you can choose to know about everything that the company is doing. For example, small companies usually don't have a massive pile of files. So, in your free time during working hours, you can glance through all those files (if you have the access of course) and gain an extra amount of knowledge about the company's past operation, history etc. The most useful would always be, The Financial Statement because that is how you will know when you can ask for a raise or not.

2) Wear many type of hats.

In small companies, you are responsible over a lot of areas. You will be the manager, the clerk, the receptionist, the dishwasher, the typist, the security guard and one of my favourite, the despatch guy. You can also influence the decision maker which is your boss and probably turn that decision towards your favour.

3) Freedom...Almost

Since small companies doesn't really pay you a hefty huge salary, you're not really liable for the company's time you've spent loitering around at the coffee shop. However, this is a bad example and shouldn't be followed. Use your time wisely such as thinking of ways for your company to grow and expand and becoming more profitable.

Well, that is the top 3 reasons that I think you can consider should you become jobless or needed a change in your career. Eitherway, always go for personal development because that is what life is all about and most of all, have fun.

Is Your Habit Productive Enough?

Humans are habitual creatures. When you say you have changed, you don't really change. Probably only a portion that was changed and that is it. I have been surfing the internet for 9 years so it is so difficult to change that habit. Surfing the internet is like consuming your food. You'll always need to replenish each time your supply runs low. It also means that you are just storing something inside you but didn't do a thing to work on it. So, as long as you keep on consuming, you'll never be on top of your game. In other word, you will just be an average Joe.

To become successful, rich and wealthy, we need to identify our productiveness. My productivity is still very low as I haven't been able to overcome my consuming habits. When I have slowly changed my habits, I need to further continue on how to 'leverage'. After all the personal development seminar, books, tape, motivation group call, that is all I have to conclude about myself. Simple, yet invaluable.

To supply the World Wide Web with contents. I've redesigned and re-edited my personal page. However, it doesn't look good yet:

Designing take away tremendous amount of my time. It would be much more practical to just download a new template. So the next step is to find another interesting and appealing web template. I have another day off tomorrow.

Ever Heard of Segway?

I've never heard of Segway but I wish I had one. I admit that eventhough my body is quite underweight, I am lazy to walk. Guess I need to reset my mindset again and again.

If you want to know more about it, go to Segway Official Website. Now where can I find one of those at my nearby store?? Mmm..

Wedding Months?

The past several weeks, on each weekends, I happened to be joining my friend's wedding. It makes me wonder 'When would be my time?'. Of course I had to answer to myself that it is not going to be soon enough. Still, you will never know what will happen to the future. So I'd just better 'go with the flow'. Make myself like water running down a stream. Probably some crap thinking for some people.

Being a blogger is like chatting on MiRC. I got addicted once I got the hang of it. However, several days not doing it, there is some kind of feeling 'not doing something'. It's a failure kind of feeling. Sometime it is encouraging, sometimes it's discouraging. It is so much easy to quit but it is so difficult to sustain the momentum.

This time I'm not going to post any pictures. I just wanted to remind myself on what responsibilty I should do. Till my next post, got to rediscover myself again. Cheers..
