Evolution

2008-07-16T13:19:00.002+10:00

Now I am thinking about three years ago. I am looking for what I gain or loss these years. I feel I gain a lot of experiences about life and the world, so I am pretty sure which I am not a loser. Actually now more than anytime I have better control on my life and my powers, better understanding about the world, and also try to accelerate my evolution. I am a big fan of the concept of evolution….

The Island Experience

2008-06-30T11:44:00.005+10:00

She is around 30s, working and living in the island for 15 years. She is very happy in living in very far small Island in the ocean with usually less than 30 people living there. She believes population number is ok and it seems she is also happy with the size of island. However I know people who think Melbourne is a small city and they prefer to live in bigger with more population cities.

Or another story about weather, people in Brisbane think weather in June and July is very cold, that is a kind of joke for the Melbournian people.

These examples show how much we are flexible and can see our environment different…

Dark Room

2008-05-16T17:16:00.003+10:00

Our understanding about the life is look like how do we identify an elephant in a dark room…

Chance

May

2008-05-01T12:28:00.002+10:00

May in Melbourne is a very colourful and raining month. Indeed the weather getting cold and you feel that winter is going to start soon. May also is very beautiful time in some of north hemisphere countries. It is a middle of spring, fantastic weather and best time for doing outdoor activities…

Global mind-set

2008-04-30T16:49:00.002+10:00

A global mind-set is the ability to study an internal environment in ways that are not dependent on the assumptions of a single country, culture, or context…

Hungry Heart

2008-04-26T15:42:00.004+10:00

Here is the one of my favorite songs’ lyrics which I like it and remember very well:

Leather on my shoes

I've got leather on my shoes,
And I've got a dream to live,
There is nothing left to lose,
So I'm going,
I've got a suitcase here in my hand,
And I've got a hungry heart,
And I'm going to join the millions,
There before me, on the freedom road;

No-one's coming to my door,
And all my friends have gone,
There's no work here anymore,
It's deserted,
And though I know I hate to leave,
From this land that I love,
There's a new tomorrow waiting,
Yes it's shining on the freedom road,
On the freedom road;

Oh sometimes it's going to be lonely,
Sometimes it will be sad,
But I've got to keep on going,
Until I hold that promised land,
In the palm of my hand;

Nothing ventured, nothing gained or won,
Without a hard fight,
We would never reach the sun,
Without trying,
And when we're a million miles from home,
Out in the starry night,
We will see we're not alone,
In the heavens, out on freedom road,

Out on freedom road, out on freedom road...

Strategy

2008-03-28T14:01:00.005+11:00

What is the aim or purpose of strategy? To improve our ability to shape and adopt to unfolding circumstances, so that we (as individuals or as groups or as a culture or as a nation-state) can Survive On Our Own Term... –John Boyd

Above is John Boyd’s OODA (Observe, Orient, Design, and Act) loop sketch:

Life

2008-03-24T15:17:00.002+11:00

Life is not fair, and that is great news. We are each born with our own lot, and others have their biases and prejudices.

This is good news because it also means you can turn things in your favour. Two keys are definite major purpose and constant improvement.

- "I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this happen. There is no try.”

- Consistent effort creates “luck” … as in “let’s go get lucky” by choice…

Theory

2008-03-11T12:45:00.002+11:00

If you understand theories of life, you can develop your own successful methodologies and techniques…

Thanks

Religion

2008-02-12T14:31:00.000+11:00

If you want to believe something, think about humanity and what the human means first…

Investment

2008-02-09T19:58:00.000+11:00

Always think about investment rather than spending time…

Place

2008-02-06T15:43:00.001+11:00

Hey where do you live?

In a wonderland or what??

It does not matter if you live in a city or village, in desert or on ocean, in jungle or mountain, developing or developed country...

The important thing is your feeling and how you are able enjoy your time.

Frankly, enjoying your time is an ability which you can learn and practice it.

But first of all Think about it…

Achievement

2008-01-30T17:08:00.000+11:00

One of my achievement in 2007 is I never caught a cold. The main reason is I did not want it.

Therefore, I had plan for my goal by drinking every morning a fresh glass of orange juice and take care of my self seriously. This is a good sign about what I want…

New year:2008

2008-01-28T14:47:00.000+11:00

I am thinking about the New Year. It used to be for me every New Year better than the pervious one. How about this one? I am thinking…

But I am sure this year also will be better than 2007 by all my efforts, hopes and thinking big…

Lost for words

2007-12-08T20:12:00.000+11:00

I can not wait to see my parents again. When I imagine that just few days later my parents and I will back together after a long time, I lost for words. That is incredible situation…

Favourite activities

2007-11-08T17:12:00.004+11:00

Recently I found that gardening is one of my favourite activities. Some time it happens by chance that you are in a situation which you can experience something new, and then you will find that you love the activities and you never know about them before. This is happen for my by receiving seeds of the flower (which you can see in the photos) from Australian post advertisement in few months ago. As Park Benjamin mentioned, Flowers are love's truest language...

Your eyes

2007-10-23T14:23:00.000+10:00

Do you know the relationship between your two eyes? They blink together, they move together, they cry together, they see things together and they sleep together, EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER. Friendship should be just like that…

Management

2007-10-17T17:49:00.000+10:00

I found that Peter Drucker and I have many common points of views about life:

Here are some of his sentences:
1- There is nothing new; every improvement is the progression from a previous achievement.
2- The challenge is to continually develop and update your skills.
3- The process of learning always creates the need for new learning.
4- It is not just a matter of being better rather than a matter of being different.
5- Don’t reinvent systems, use and modify what you’ve got.
6- Attempt to be task oriented, set goals and targets.
7- Set a strict time table and continually monitor it.
8- Don’t spread out the systems and the process too long.
9- You may need advice and support to start you off, but you know your style and mentality to own it and do it yourself.
10- Build people around you to complement your frailties.
11- Don’t just survive an ordeal; emerge stronger by learning from it…

Maturity

2007-10-11T12:25:00.000+10:00

One of the good points of doing PhD is about being in academic environment and meeting a lot of mature and well educated people that you can learn many things from them. For instance, the way of thinking to the world and many good things about their life style, etc. Krishna as visiting Professor from USA is one of them.
Krishna, I always enjoyed from your behaviour and how you communicate with people. Thank for all of your good ideas and I hope see you again…

Like yourself

2007-10-04T13:16:00.001+10:00

Hey Faraz, happy birthday mate!
I believe that if you want to like people, first of all you should like yourself and take care of yourself…

Privatization

2007-10-01T14:52:00.000+10:00

These days there is not doubt about the benefits of privatization. Privatization means the transfer of ownership from public sector (government) to the private sector (business). private market actors can more efficiently deliver many goods or service than government due to free market competition. For example by privitazing Department of immigration and multicultural affair in Australia, they can improve their efficency and effectivness. Therefore, they can also eaisier and faster reach to the their mission statement of “people are our business”!
