Top Ten Lessons Steve Jobs Taught UsAbhishek Shah

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Fake WorkAbhishek Shah

People routinely spend long hours writing proposals, filling out paperwork, or sitting in meetings at work only to wonder if their hard work has achieved anything.
In other words, many employees are caught in a trap of working hard but doing "FAKE WORK" that has no corresponding results.
They spend valuable time doing nothing to support the short or long term goals of their organization and consequently experience low morale, high turnover, broken communication, and patterns of low productivity.
Presenting Ten primary causes of fake work in companies.

Liar LiarAbhishek Shah
油
Liars often make too much or too little eye contact and tend to speak without contractions. They may show signs of discomfort like turning away, rapid blinking, or fidgeting. Liars also stutter or hesitate more when speaking, provide unnecessary details without being asked, and get defensive rather than going on the offensive like innocent people tend to do. Watch for inconsistent explanations, overemphasis on minor details, and frequent self-touching of the face, throat, or mouth from potential liars.Performance Masters

Saying No doesnt mean you are being rude; neither does it mean you are being disagreeable. Saying No doesnt mean there will be conflict nor that youll lose opportunities in the future. And saying no most definitely doesnt mean youre burning bridges. These are all false beliefs in our mind.
At the end of the day, its about how you say no, rather than the fact youre saying no, that affects the outcome. After all, you have your own priorities and needs, just like everyone has his/her own needs. Saying no is about respecting and valuing your time and space.Cosmetic Packaging Symbols Explained

Field experiment was conducted at Tapioca and Castor Research Station during 2014 -15 on evaluation of different sowing schedules (August, September, October and November) and varieties/ hybrids (DCS -107, DCH 177, GCH 7 and YRCH 1) in castor. Among the sowing dates, sowing of castor at 2nd fortnight of August has recorded significantly higher kernel yield (705.8kg/ha) followed by September (497.0kg/ha) over October and November sown plots due to deficit in rainfall. Among the varieties/hybrids tested GCH7 has recorded significantly higher mean kernel yield (597.7kg/ha) in all dates of sowing over other genotypes. GCH7 and DCH 177 have recorded significantly higher kernel yield by taking sowing during 2nd fortnight of August (1046 and 927.6kg/ha).
