Focus on Yourself!!!

Some of us waste our time waiting for people
to live up to our expectations.

We are so concerned about what others are doing
that we don’t do anything ourselves.

Its not so important what others are up to;
compared to what you are doing.

Focus on what you do, your work; Not on others.

Online Pakistani Videos Website

Yesterday I got marketing email from ChaltaTV.com. Today I visited the website and found it interesting. There is collection of pakistani videos and it seems that they are regularly updating the latest important videos about Pakistan. It has simple interface and currently has more than 8k videos. You can watch as well as upload your own videos.

I really like the website  and thought to share it here on my blog.

Connect IT – 2009

I was so busy in my office work so didn’t get chance to write about Connect IT – 2009 Event held at Expo  from 05-07, 2009.

It was indeed good experience of meeting new companies representatives and also some of the old fellows.

The event was not as big as the ITCN Asia Exhibition. The Exhibitors as well as visitors’s list were really short. Only Two Halls were occupied by the exhibitors. One good thing I observed was the professional environment unlike the last ITCN ASIA where some companies from Telecom Sector were having really noisy activities.

I also got very good printed directory of all exhibitors from the reception that was really impressive work from the event management company. That would also help me to share my company profile with the exhibitors and make partnerships with them.

Overall I enjoyed networking at the event and got some very valuable contacts from the event. I am planning to meet them soon.

Will soon share few pictures of the event on my blog as the pictures are yet to be tranfered from my cam to the PC.

BPO Conference 2009

I attended one-day BPO conference arranged by PSEB and PASHA held on Thursday, 7th May, 2009 at the Institute of Bankers Pakistan, Karachi.

My main attraction to attend this conference was to

• look at the new business opportunities
• listen the experienced panel discussion specially their experience of outsourcing their processes
• get the answers of few questions e.g. why financial sector and big companies prefer to outsource their processes to international vendors rather than local ones and what problems they are facing with local market vendors.
• learn the experience of execution of conference event (specially how sponsors can benefit from such conferences)
• to meet senior level management and make new contacts

More or less I achieved all my objectives to attend this conference. The best part was to listen the panel from banking industry. Ms. Jehan Ara, Mr. Talib Baloch and Ms. Rabia Garib did very good job to manage and execute this event. Especially I liked the Rabia as Moderator, she tried her best to cut the unnecessary discussions to save the time of audience. Facility at IBP was also very good and IBP staff was really supportive.  Lastly I liked the presentation style of Mr. Ted Marra, CTO, Cybrid. He got the last slot of the event, when everyone was feeling so hungry and wanted to go back to office or home, but he succeeded to spread energy to the audience by his presentation skills.

Success Is Waiting To Happen

When we see someone successful,
we say that he just got lucky.
‘He must have been at the right place at the right time.’
People only see one side of the picture.
People don’t see the failures.

If you study history, you will find that -
All stories of success are also stories of great failures.
So if you are failing;
Remember, success is waiting to happen.

Be Nice and Smile

Be nice and smile to everyone you meet. 
You don’t know what they are going through, and they might just need that smile.
Atleast for a moment, it would make a lot of difference to them.

Life gives us many such moments to make others feel better.
For tomorrow when you feel low, someone might smile and you may feel better.

What You Build Matters

The world will provide you with stones everyday.
What you build out of it, is your choice: Wall, Road or a Bridge.
You may even choose to do nothing.
At the end, world will know you by what you did with it

How to say “NO” in Better Way

Today I got an intresting email from one of my very good friend today, thought to share it on my blog.

How to say “NO” in Better Way

Has this ever happened to you? Your boss asks if you can spend all night at a dinner meeting even though you have to go to your best friend’s birthday party.

There are always times we have to say no. But how do we do it without being rude or insulting? Here are some English phrases that might help you to say no without hurting the feelings of the person who wants you to do something.

I can’t right now, but maybe later. This mean perhaps in the future.

Unfortunately, I’ve had a few things come up. This means something unexpected has happened.

I’m trying to focus on finishing off some other things. This is another way of saying you have some unfinished business.

I’m sorry I can’t. This simply says it’s impossible for you.

I can’t at that time, but I’m happy to help you with something else later. This is very polite. You say no but offer you help for other things.

Sorry but that isn’t my strong suit. This is another way of saying you won’t be good at that.

I’m sure you will do fine on your own. This is a polite way of telling someone to do it themselves.

I’m afraid I’m committed to something else. Say this if you have other plans.

I really don’t enjoy that kind of activity. Or, I don’t like to do that.

I’m sorry, but I have an emergency to attend to. This says you have something urgent you must do.

I am going to attend COBIT 4.1 Foundation Course

Tomorrow I am going to attend COBIT 4.1 Foundation Course offered by Business Beam Pvt. Limited. My objective to attend this course is to learn importance of implementing COBIT practices at any organization and the benefit that any individual can get after getting its certification. It will definately help in my job to sell this course and its consultancy.

People from different organization especially  banking industry are coming to attend this course so there will be good chance of meeting new people.

Hope so the experience will be good inshaALLAH.
