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

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

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

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”!

Remembrance

2007-09-25T17:37:00.000+10:00

This is the remembrance of my grandfather. I am thinking about his life and my family, and I believe that there are always some valuable lessons which i can learn from their life...

Popular culture

2007-08-27T18:24:00.000+10:00

The Godfather along with the other films in the trilogy, had a strong impact on the public at large. Don Vito's line, "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" was voted as the second most memorable line in cinema history in a 2005. But for me the characteristic of godfather is very interesting and uncertain. I am thinking about which categories we can define his behaviours. For instance as a charismatic leadership, entrepreneur, permissive manager or who…

"Johnny: A month ago, he bought the movie rights to this book. A best seller - and the main character, it's a guy just like me, I, uh, I wouldn't even have to act, just be myself. Oh godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.Corleone: You can act like a man. (The Don slaps Johnny in the face.) What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finochio [a demeaning Italian word meaning homosexual] that, uh, cries like a woman? (He imitates Johnny's whining.) 'What can I do? What can I do?' What is that nonsense? Ridiculous. You spend time with your family? (The Don glances toward Sonny and speaks more to him than Johnny.)Johnny: Sure I do.Corleone: Good. 'Cause a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. (To Johnny) Come here...You look terrible. I want you to eat. I want you to rest a while. And in a month from now, this Hollywood bigshot's gonna give you what you want.Johnny: (protesting) It's too late, they start shooting in a week.Corleone: I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. Now, you just go outside and enjoy yourself, and uh, forget about all this nonsense. I want you, I want you to leave it all to me…"

W Curve

When I arrived in Australia, I learned about W curve in my University.
Some people also believe whole of the life is look like the W curve. Top and down, top and down, and top and down…
I think we can minimized the gaps, and even make it straight line. This first will start with believing the way…

Life-Habit

2007-06-20T17:48:00.001+10:00

Habit means an action or pattern of behavior that is repeated so often that it become typical of somebody, although he or she may be unaware of it. In psychology, any regularly repeated behavior that requires little or no thought and is learned rather than innate. Some habits (e.g., tying a shoelace) may conserve higher mental processes for more demanding tasks, but others promote behavioral inflexibility or are unhealthy.
We have a lot of different kind of habits. For instance, habits of eating, drinking, sleeping, smoking and making exercise are some of them. Some habits have positive effect on our life and very helpful for having happy and successful life. In other hand, some of these habits are very negative for us.

Therefore changing the environment is very useful to rid our life of the bad habits. But only the new environment is not enough for elimination from the habits. So it is depends on you completely. It is require changing the way of thinking about it and practicing hard for replacing the old response with a new. It is fantastic if we can design our habit life in the healthily and successful manner. Finally do not forget to share your experiences with other friends for having happier life…

Teeth

2007-06-19T18:00:00.001+10:00

This is my advice to my friends after lots of time to believe them:
Our teeth are important parts of our body. But It is not difficult to protect them if you are not lazy. Below are my valuable and expensive experiences about teeth which I share them with you:
First of all and the most important my experience is flossing the teeth at least one time per day. It is most effective than any other methods to protect teeth. I did not believe it until now, and I had some dental cavities and loss lot of money.
The second one is do not drink very cold or hot. I know it is very enjoyable to drink cold water in summer and hot drink in winter but it has lots of negative affects in your teeth. Finally, do not bite very hard food such as nuts. It causes the teeth are cracked and if it happened may be you loss your teeth easily…

Perception

2007-06-17T18:04:00.000+10:00

Some people in the world, they do not like number four (4). That is why, I some time get confuse which I am in the right level of building or not in here.
They changed number 4 to 3A!!
Our world is full of these kinds of perceptions and settings. We should be flexible in our life and beliefs. Arguing about these kinds of symbols in our life just cause we forget about real life.
Who knows may be its better to change number 4 to 3A. Take it easy…

Forgive

2007-05-28T11:42:00.000+10:00

When people in love do to each other, they remember.
If they stay together, it is not because they forget; it is because they forgive…

This is one of my drawings during my high school time.
My field in high school was mathematics.
I found a beautiful sentence from Albert Einstein about maths:
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality,
they are not certain, and as far as they are not certain,
they do not refer to reality…

Big Brother

2007-05-11T13:02:00.000+10:00

Hang on
Wait a minute
I have a good feeling about this TV program (Big Brother).
I think Big Brother’s house is a very small sample of the world; the housemates in the house are small sample of us. Some times is good to see how we living together. How we behaving, and treating each other.
Moreover, it is helpful for knowing more about Aussie culture….

FEEDBACK’ Birthday

2007-05-03T11:25:00.000+10:00

Today is 3rd of May and it is FEEDBACK’ Birthday. Having this blog is one of my valuable experiences during these times.

Weblogs (or blogs) are becoming a new form of mainstream personal communication for millions of people to publish and exchange knowledge/information, and to establish networks or build relationships in the world of all blogs, the so-called “blogosphere”. Weblog-building technologies (or blogging tools) bring new capabilities, such as web publication and communication, to average people, especially those non-technical users. The Internet and web technologies have substantially influenced systems development and its outcomes, and radically changed people's behaviour in adopting these technologies.
As suggested by Wagner and Bolloju (2005), weblogs are ideal for experts who wish to broadcast their expertise to a large audience, and are also suitable for average persons who wish to share their stories/diaries with a small group of others. According to Winer (http://www.sciencedirect.com), a blogging pioneer, weblogs have the following characteristics.
Moreover, blogging continues to play a critical role in debates about the important issues of our time,and Blogosphere is one them.
Blogosphere is the collective term encompassing all blogs as a community or social network. The notion of a blogosphere is an important one for understanding blogs. Blogs by themselves are simply the published text of an author's thoughts, but the authors read and comment on others' blogs, link to them and cite them. These relationships between blogs compromise a shifting Internet-wide social and cultural network.
And in my view, nowadays having a blog look like having a mobile phone! It is a more convenience and effective tool for communication…

Supply Chain Management

2007-04-05T13:48:00.000+10:00

Supply Chain Management is a system that contains multiple entities, processes and activities from suppliers to customers.

I like to introduce my current and future job with an article from Jason Whittaker in SupplyChain Review Magazine- January 2007.

It’s not sexy, but it’s all in the pitch

It’s not easy working for a supply chain publication. Most people don’t even know what supply chain is. You know the feeling. At social occasions, family gatherings. I’m in supply chain; I’m a logistics manager; I’m a procurement officer. Blank looks and general bemusement ensure.
You know the supply chain sector is booming, that it offers dynamic, rewarding pathways in a surprisingly diverse range of job positions, that it offers a very comfortable living (for many very comfortable indeed).

Most don’t know. And that’s problem. It is sexy, as so many people insist on trying to make it? Not really. But short of Hollywood staring movie rolls, how many jobs are?
It’s certainly sexier than working in a dusty quarry or stuffy computer lab, where the pay packets might be heftier but the opportunities for career advancement are much more limited. Really, it should be a pretty easy sell. But in an increasingly tight, increasingly competitive labour market it’s not going to sell itself…

Out side the home

2007-03-29T19:05:00.000+10:00

I have been for more than three days out side my home one month ago.
I think it was great experience. It was making me stronger. I should some time travel somewhere, and stay out side my house and having some challenges as a practice for my life.
Then when I come back to my home, life is more enjoyable and valuable and me also stronger in my life…

Gamble

Best regards to him

Siemens

2007-01-20T20:26:00.000+11:00

Siemens is one the world largest electrical engineering and electronic companies in the world which has activities in more than 190 countries.

2007 Plan

2007-01-08T18:42:00.000+11:00

I think one of the most important feedbacks of my life is about planning.
Now I found that planning about every activities of life for short and long time is so important. I should think about my plan, repeat them, continue them and review them.
Besides, I should believe them, proud them and if necessary change them.
So the New Year with creative and more develop plans for life…

A friend like my passion

2006-12-25T12:10:00.000+11:00

Ash is one of my friends in Melbourne, and we have long time friendship from high school. The difference between him and my other lovely friends is that approximately we have same passion about some parts of life from long time ago until now…

All pain

2006-12-07T13:02:00.000+11:00

One week ago, I saw two the disabled with lots of pain.
Pain for every minute and for every day.
May be for whole of their life...
Compare with them I do not have any pain. We should try to contribute some thing helpful to others because we do not have any pain…

Friends

2006-11-20T15:02:00.000+11:00

I am very happy that during my time in Australia I met many lovely, open mind and high educated people. Now I have many good friends…

Time management

2006-11-14T11:58:00.000+11:00

These days, planning and time management are one of the key competitive advantage in our everyday life. Therefore, having the effective plans and implement them with minimum time are very important. In this way, as my finding, having suitable plan for each hour is very helpful. However, during one hour often some changes will happen on our feeling and our location. Thus, having creative strategies to challenges with the changes in order to reach your objectives during one hour differ successful people in their daily life from others…

Smell

These are some of beautiful roses near my faculty. When I smell them, I can remember 10 to 20 years ago from my home in a second.
That is wonderful situation…

Uncertainty Avoidance

2006-11-05T14:46:00.000+11:00

Uncertainty avoidance deals with a society’s tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity; it ultimately refers to man’s search for Truth. It indicates to what extent a culture programs its members to feel either uncomfortable or comfortable in unstructured situations. Unstructured situations are novel, unknown, surprising, and different from usual. Uncertainty avoiding cultures try to minimize the possibility of such situations by strict laws and rules, safety and security measures, and on the philosophical and religious level by a belief in absolute Truth; ‘there can only be one Truth and we have it’.
Some characteristics of a low uncertainty avoidance culture:

Typically the country is newer or more recently settled.
The population tends to be ethnically diverse.
Risk is valued in business (e.g. U.S.A.)
Frequent innovations.
Citizens are proud of the nation.
Foreigners or minorities are encouraged to assimilate.

Some characteristics of a culture high in uncertainty avoidance:
Generally older countries/cultures with a long history.
The population is more ethnically homogeneous.
Risk is avoided in business (e.g. Germany)
Low tolerance for innovation, prefer to stick to traditional routines.
Citizens are often critical of their own nation.
People tend to be more superstitious.
(Geert Hofstede)

Organizer

2006-10-10T18:50:00.001+10:00

In this semester and in Business Analysis Modelling class, I did a group project with my two American friends: Amanda and Jeffrey.
This project was done very good and easily because of existence of two organizers in my group. Their abilities in finding the project objectives and making outline for each group sessions, dividing tasks, time management, and relationship with other group members in order to group’ involvement, sharing ideas and getting feedback from each others were perfect.
We got a highest mark in our group project, and I had very nice time with them. "Well done mates!"...

Libra

2006-10-04T10:47:00.001+10:00

The Astrological Symbol of Libra is the Scales. Like the scales of Justice, Librans are objective and just. They abhor unfairness and conflict, striving above all for peace; but at times they are easily deterred from their beliefs. Librans are able to see all sides of an argument, but as their mental scales sway back and forth they may never find balance and become fickle and indecisive. Sometimes they are so eager to avoid conflict that they give in to avoid argument, even when they know they are right, and this may make them seem insincere. Diplomatic and cooperative, they are skilled at initiating group projects. In this way, Libra exemplifies the Cardinal Quality assigned to it. When Librans set goals for themselves, they are determined to succeed. Within the Zodiac, Libra is oppositeAries, the Sign of Self, so Libras tend to be about other people rather than personal development. They tend to be socially inclined and charming, but they may have a need to be liked that makes them too compliant to others' wishes.
Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus (and her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite) was the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Pleasure. She represented joy, happiness, and appreciation of beautiful things. On the negative side, her appreciation for sweets and luxury could result in overindulgence, and she could be materialistic. Venus rules both Libra andTaurus. Libra is the masculine, or day, aspect of Venus; Taurus is the feminine, or night. Both Signs have a great appreciation for beauty, but while Taurus appreciates the beauty of things, Libra is more interested in the beauty of other people. Librans are happiest when they're in a relationship. They are seductive and attractive, and their cultural awareness and talkative nature make them help them shine in the social situations they so enjoy. Because of their social nature, they can be vain or overly dependent on others' approval. Many people born under Libra have strong artistic tendencies and a refined sense of style, but they can also become lazy and apathetic if bored. They are usually controlled and rational, but at times they may be self-indulgent…

Happy birth day me... :)

Hope

2006-09-14T20:56:00.000+10:00

As my experience, when you are tired, when you think you are far from your goals and it is very difficult or impossible to reach those, when you think you are not able to over come your problems, just think about the way you are in. it is not always important that you can see your success now or in the near future, and also reach your goals now. It is important you try for your goals and you be in your goals way. Being, try and practice in your wanting way, means you are successful and you are getting to be perfect as you want…
So always be hopeful and positive about your future if you are in the way…

First Lesson

2006-09-04T22:36:00.000+10:00

Travelling to Australia help me to learn and experience many new meanings about life, people and the world.
However, the first lesson which I learned when I arrived to Australia was about kindness and having kind heart for helping people by Payam.
Payam and his warm family not only support and help me to start my new life in Australia easier, later on I found that he also helps many new passengers like me and try to help them to solve and decrease their problems.
Kind heart, humanity, responsibility and loving people…

Best wishes for Payam and his family…

People

"If you want to be successful in your life, you should study about people. Therefore, you should consider people ‘behaviours carefully in order to find methods and principals of being successful and then try to use them in your life…"(Dr. David J. Schwartz, the Magic of Thinking Big)

Big Thinking

2006-08-23T20:34:00.000+10:00

I believe this book and I think it is very important you believe something good in the world.
The theme of this book is, the size of your success is directly related to the size of your thinking. Education, talent, diligence are all good components but unless you think BIG success will be sabotaged. The book promises; Think Big and you will live Big. You’ll live Big in happiness. You’ll live Big in accomplishment. Big in income. Big in friends. Big in respect. Did the book live up to its claim? Read on….
The book kicks off with what success means and makes a point that to succeed you have to believe that you will. He quickly gives the reader an inoculation for excusitis –the failure disease. This varies for different people for some it’s their age, health, intellect and the list goes on. At this stage the wishful thinkers are separated from those truly committed to success. David Schwartz emphasizes that you are what you think you are. The key to winning what you want lies in thinking positively towards yourself. The only basis other people have for judging your abilities is your actions. Your actions are what you think you are.
Where there is a will there is a way. David teaches the reader to think and dream creatively. I will not tell you his solutions; my suggestion is you find out for yourself. Life changing chapters include making your attitudes your allies, get the action habit and how to build confidence and destroy fear.
David is an excellent writer the reader does not feel ‘lectured’. He actively convinces the reader that, you can do it. Of course you can!

Good Bye my friend

Global citizenship

2006-06-13T17:55:00.001+10:00

He is a brave man and here is part of his speech in golden pen of freedom ceremony in 5th June 2006. You can read Mr.Akbar Ganji’s full acceptance speech in this link: (GANJI)
I think people should more think about these kind of concepts and believe them in order to have better and happier world…

“Today we are witnessing the birth of a new moral concept in the world: Global citizenship. Today vast numbers of people no longer consider themselves merely the citizen of a state, no longer feel compassion only for their compatriots, but rather consider themselves also citizens of the world. They feel compassion with other global citizens. Our gathering here today is the best example of solidarity among citizens of the world. But we must accept that we are only at the beginning of the road. There are still too many calamities around us, calamities like terrorism, coercion, dictatorship, discrimination, and war.
These are indications that we need to still find ways to expand this solidarity, and give reality to the concept of world citizenship. In my mind, Kant is the philosopher who can be most helpful to us on this path. According to Kant, humans have rights by the mere fact of their humanity, and in that sense, humans are all equal, and laws are just only if they treat everyone without exception, equally, and they can safeguard the liberty of all. Kant invites us to be humble and benevolent. Such benevolence and humility require us to always put ourselves in the place of the other, and do unto others as we do unto ourselves.
Only in this way can human solidarity be strengthened. Only through this perspective will we consider our…”

First Semester

2006-05-07T18:54:00.002+10:00

About my first semester of master course in Uni, I should say that after passing few months I consider I am in a very hard situation. I should do many projects, assignments, studies and writing essays in very short time before final exams. I feel time pass very fast for me.

Jason

2006-05-04T23:13:00.001+10:00

Jason is my home mate. He is from

Taiwan

. We are both students, but with different pattern of life. I think Jason’s life is look like a Clock or a military person. He always wakes up around 6.30 AM even in weekend or holidays. Every weekday he goes to Uni until 6 to 7 PM. Then like always watching TV for few hours, taking shower and continues his study until 12.

I reckon this can be one of the successful patterns for student of university. He practices this every day. It seems his pattern is a little bit boring, but it's sustainable.

I believe that his view about life has a very important role in his pattern. I hope one day, can discover what he thinking about meaning of life.
life for every body has different meaning...
