Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns

Dear Walter:

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor lady. I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and… Continue

New interview strategy

I had a breakfast interview with a candidate at IHOP this week. I went back yesterday because I thought I had left my glasses behind. Turns out I didn't forget my glasses, but I did forget to pay my bill. It was my first "dine and dash" interview. Give it a try sometime. :-)

Google Yahoo Announcement - A Strategic Stumble?

Yahoo! Google - Game Theory and Ontology

Not quite sure how I feel about the big Yahoo! announcement. To my mind, the deal raises uncomfortable ontological issues about just who Yahoo! is. If they’re just another publisher, then I guess it might make sense to outsource ad serving to maximize CPMs but as a tech platform, it seems to be a big concession of… Continue

what is thinking?

what is thinking?

Thinking is not just a process of linking words together to impress fools.
But a process of diving deep into the ocean of conciousness
In search of gems of truth to enlighten the sinking souls

Tonic for Mind

Tonic for Mind

One who thinks He is going to die
Is better than the one who thinks
That he is going to live.
For the first will struggle to change, but the other by chance may change.

Body is a tool to keep the mind cool
Never to be used like a bull to destroy peace and
happiness of those who work under its rule

Be Fearless

Be Fearless

Fear is only a thunder cloud
Making an empty sound
The force of wind
Moves it round and round
And frightens only those
Who are not sound.

Remedy for Fear

Remedy for Fear

Fear of death makes one forget the joys of life.
Be cheerful you are the children of immortal bliss.
Death is only for the body it is not for you.

Man is mortal so long as he is conscious of the body.
Transcend the idea of body, becomes immortal he at once.

what is depression?

what is depression?

Depression is not a disease
But it only a fallen wave
In the ocean of conciousness
Only to rise again with great
Force to lift us up and up
Till we reach the shore safely.

Snacks for mind

Snacks for mind

It is better to sleep than to slip
For the one gives you rest, the other fall from the best.

Don’t be in a hurry, but postpone indefinitely
Your wrong motive, selfish desires and immoral activities
That is the only way to escape from the fury of worry.

Who is great?

Who is great?

He is not great, who is proud of his wealth

But he is great who says it is God’s wealth.

He is not great who says “ I am the owner”

But he is great who says, “ I am a trustee”

He is not great who is proud of his knowledge

But he is great who feels that he is ignorant

He isnot great who is proud of his strength

But he is great who protects weak, innocent.

God is the doer and you are his… Continue

Company job sites: Good, Bad or indifferent

Most HR pro’s will tell you that the best way for you to get into their company is to apply via the company website. While this is the best way to be entered into their bottom-less pit of a database it is not (contrary to popular belief) the best way to get a job with that company. Just ask this candidate.

Understand that I have nothing against HR/Recruiters, in fact, some companies have… Continue
