my loving amma (mother)

Its my last day at work before year end holidays. Time to get ready to go Matara (my home town) for my mothers alms giving on 26th December. Its after there years from now the 26th December 2004 Tsunami took her away from us. I still can't believe that she is not with us. Many memories are coming to my mind and its really hard to bare all these things even now.

I was so close to her and she always drive me to success. She teach me how to face the obstacles coming on my way. She gave me all the strength to face any problem and overcome any hard time. She teach me how to treat people and how to care others. She always wanted me be strong and same ime want ot be soft to others and understand them and help them. She always wanted me to be a successful person. She teach me every thing and she gave all the strength she had to me (and my sisters). Finally she left us. It was a shock but still we are moving forward thanks to all the qualities she developed on us and the strength she gave us. But we all miss u. I miss u amma (mother).

I know that your looking at us from there and blessing us and still guiding us. I know that your looking at us your so lucky, I know you can see us. But non of us are blessed and lucky as you. We can't see you. We are so unlucky.

I still want to talk to you. I still want to hug u, sleep on your lap. I want to listen to you songs you used to sing when I was a kid. I want to see you kind, loving face which I can forget all the hard things Im facing. Simply I need you. But I knwo your not going to come again.

I want you to be my amma (mother) in all the lifes which Im going to born after this life. Please take me with you where ever you go.

I love you so much and I miss you a lot.

looking forward

I didn't able to spend much time on reading and the research which I wanted do on last few months. I was always busy with office. But I should stop giving this excuse any more and spend my time more productive way. Im looking at 2008 as a year for many happenings. I should put all the experience and things which I learnt over years in to work in coming year. I hope every thing will go in better way in 2008.

Time is passing and years are coming and going like nothing. People call this time as 'time for celebrations'. Yes you should do things for joy. Same time this is the best time to evaluate thing you did during the year and make a plan for next year. This is the time to find out the mistakes you did last year and take corrective actions to minimize mistakes in next year. We all need to develop things year by year in all the areas of our lives. This is the time for it. Get ready for the coming year 2008. Start your evaluation for 2007. Start looking forward and start working on you planes for 2008.

back to work after 2days

I came back to work after two days. I was down with flue and it was a really bad one. I was doing nothing than sleeping and watching the TV. I could not eat anything too. Any way things seems to be ok now. But Im still not feeling 100% fit. I hope I'll able to get back to normal routine by tomorrow.

My office is having a brand new look since we change the seating arrangements and we shifted back to 1st floor from the 2nd floor. This is my first day after all these changes. Any way I like the new seating arrangements. I love when there is lots of spare space. I love new trees bought by my CEO too. Those looks really nice and helping to relax. I love indoor plants and thinking of buying few for my house as well.

swimming

I started swimming lessons yesterday. I can swim but only free style and that also not with proper techniques. There for I wanted to lern swimming in proper way and get to know about all the strokes. Same time I was looking for some activity which helps me to exercise my body and relax myself after all these hard days. Finally I decided to go ahead with swimming.

I used to swim in the sea when I was in Matara. But never had much time to those things after I started working here in Colombo. Any way now Im back to one of my favorite sports and Im really enjoying it. I hope I'll catch up all the strokes soon with proper techniques. :)

updating knowledge

I was participating couple of training during last week. One for IBM Servers & one for Lenovo. Its really interesting to see the way technology moving forward. Technologies are changing so quickly and life time of them also very short. But the best thing is performance are going to be increased massively and its a really good thing. Software developers can lots of things with these new hardware developments. Processing power going to be increased massively and it always helps to run applications with heavy technologies smoothly.

do your job well as much as you can

Ahhhhh..Its end of a tough week. I was really busy with work and had to work till late night for couple of days even after go home. But I should say that I was enjoying my work since Im getting some quality results out of all the hard work. I mange to close two big deals. Its not a easy task to close deal in my industry(im into software). It always take a long pre-sales cycle and things are always tough. Clients are always trying to sqeeze the vendor as much as they can. Some times they draging things and wasting hell of a lot time on things which are not very important. They love to talk about which are not relavent to busienss. Most of the companies having some bad experience with some other vendor and we have to pay for some others sins.

Any way we have to manage all these situations and make things happen. I never scard for these thigns since Im confidne tabout the solutions which Im offering to my clients. I always trying to stick to my theory as "You do your job well as much as you can then you will get the results".

morning walk

I was talking to my next door neighbour and he was telling that I should do some exercises. He is attached Sri Lanka Cricket Academy as a coach (he is a former SL cricketer as well) he know lot about the subject.

This is something I also want to do for long time and start but never continue it due to many reasons and finally I was doing nothing and Im kind a slightly over weight. AH, my neighbour views and advices make sense and he asked me to start walking since its the best thing for me.

Today I wake up around 5.30.am and start my morning walk. It was really good for some time then it starts giving problems such as aches in different parts of the body. Specially my left leg. But I manage to walk quite a descent distance for about 45 minutes. I was suppose to walk to hour but I reduce it to 45mins bcos of this leg pain. Ah, It was really good and Im going to continue this for sure.

thanks to nature for not repeating 26 dec 2004

It was just 6pm (yesterday) and I was on my way to home after work. I receive this call from one of my friends telling that Disaster Management Center has issued a Tsunami warning after earthquake in Sumatra. I was shocked. Next minute I was calling to my father, sisiters, mother in law, father in law, friends etc etc who are living in Matara (my home town) but I didn't able to reach any one due to heavy traffic in phone lines. I wanted to inform all the people there since we badly hit by boxing day Tsunami in 2004 and I lost my loving mother too. I didn't want to see something smiler again. It was a really really bad experience. Damn it, all the bloody phone lines were not working and I couldn't send a SMS even. All the TV channel were talking about the earthquake and they were telling that people are removed from the coastal belt. It was the only relief I had. Danger was there till 8.30.pm and It was really hard time for both myself and my wife.

Thanks to nature, it didn't make a Tidal Wave and thing were calm and quite after all. But the time I spent till 8.30.pm was a really hard time. I was really worried about loved once, specially my father who is living in Matara. Five of my family members face to 2004 Tsunami & four of them manage to escape from it after fighting with death. But I lost my mother. It change my life in big way. I saw how people suffer from it. I saw the way people dying and how they fight to save their life. One small kid die on my hands. I can keep on writing about things like these. But I don't want to think about it. It was that hard and Its still really hard to think about those.

Any way things were not that bad this time. I hope & wish not to repeat it for ever. I don't want to see another Tsunami.

im a big big boy

Today is my B'Day. Im going to be 27 :) and getting older. I never feel that Im getting older before but now I feel it in different way. Im not a kid any more (its same for last so many years also). Im getting into the time which I need to be more responsible and do more things for my future than I did in the past.

B'day is a good time to evaluate yourself. This is my turn to do so. Honestly Im happy about the way I spent all this time. I had nice childhood with lots of sweet memories. I can still remember the time I spent with my mother as a kid. The way she sign songs for me. (I really miss her). My school time was wonder full, specially as a teenager with my all great friends (most are still with me). Then I met my love when I was 15. Now Im happily married to her. I started my career when I was 20 and now Im sitting here after 7 years as a Business Development Manager.

Im so happy almost about every thing other than my mothers sudden death. I really really miss her and this is the only thing I need to change, if I can change.

The best thing I achieve for last 27 years is my love, my wife. I met her when I was 15 and I married her 2 years back. The worst thing in my life is my mothers death. I still can't make my mind since It was something we never expect at that time.

I know she is wishing me from the heaven and always looking at me.

looking @ the past and moving towards future

Its again end of a busy week and end of the month as well. Im going to be 27 in other two weeks time (pretty old ah :)). Time is flying then we see. The good thing is I can feel that Im moving forward. Some times its not with the phase we expect. But there are so many things to be happy and look forward towards future. Im always take things in positive way and hoping the best.

Life is getting into a more important and kind of time which needs lots of attention and commitment on both personal and professional paths. Im already looking forward those and trying to be there ASAP. I know Im following kind of different way and some won't able to understand it. I always believe my way of doing things and moving forward with my passion. Im spending my free time on evaluating myself and identifying the weaknesses with me and ways to minimize those and face the challenges with more strength.

good time in Matara

Again I took some time without posting here. I was busy as usual and no point of explaining or talking about it. Any way manage to go Matara (my home town) during the last week end. The good thing was we(myself & my wife) manage to took leave for Monday also. This time I able to spent the time in kind a good way there after a long time. Im not going Matara much after my mother passed away two and half years back. (I don't have a exact reason for this but I don't feel like to be there).

Any way this time was kind of different in positive way. I spent lots of time with my best buddy (Anupa) after so long. Then it was my other best buddy's(Ranaga's) Home Coming on Sunday. It was a great joy for me since It was after a lonf nice love story and I also a part of supporting roles :) I can still remember the way my friend explained the girl he saw accidentally and how hard was it to find out the girl and very first day they met etc etc. It was different and nice time when were in school. This event gave the opportunity for me to flash back all the good times in the past.

After the party my sisters wanted to go out for dinner since four of us were in the town after a so long. There was nothing much for me and again I don't know why. Im not much attached to them. But the idea was good since Its better to have a big family. Best thing was the placed we went. It was next to Light House and had a nice view on Light House and Sea. Im not enjoying sea like good old days after it took my mother's life. But Im not angry with sea also. Any way the place was good.

tomorrow is our wedding anniversary

Tomorrow is my 2nd wedding anniversary :) Its time for celebrations...

Time is flying so swiftly ah. I still feel it like two months back. Not only bcoz time is flying. In all the things. We are still good lovers, friends, etc etc and finally good husband & wife.

I think we came long way within last couple of years in so many things. We were in love for almost 10 years before get married (yes this 100% true, she is my 1st love). And we start this new life and we achieve lots of things during this short period. Both learnt lots of things and got matured and etc etc. I need to tell that Im so happy about last 2 years.

I hope this is same with my wife also. But I need to tell that it was not easy thing for her in a way since its not a easy thing to live with a bugger like me :D I should buy the best gift in this world for her. She is always making my life a beautiful place and doing all the tings for me then she can afford. I love her more than any one can love some one in this world.

be a special commando in this battle field called life

84 well trained GUERRILLAS

The tag line I mentioned above make sense to me. It was couple of weeks back and I was just running through the TV channels. It was a program about ad agencies in Sri Lanka. It was almost the latter part of the program and this tag line was using by the company(TRIADS) as their tag line(Im not sure that they used this just for this program or they are using this all the time).

Any way, it gives something for me to think about. I always think and believe that we need to be like special commandos, if we want to be successful or if we are working towards a goal and we really want to achieve it. I came to this conclusion after analysing behaviors of few successful people. If you really analyse a successful person you will find lots of unique things to them such as attitude, discipline etc etc. Its very similar with commandos in special operation units in military forces. They are well trained and really dynamic. They always act according to the situation and only think about their target. They study a lot about their enemies and using tactics of enemies to destroy them. Most of these special units are well trained on Guerrilla tactics and methods also.

As I mentioned earlier also, I believe that we need to be special commandos and now I think we need to study and adopt Guerrilla methods also as additional strength.

Soldier is going to battle field to fight against enemies. Life also a battle field and its with lots of challenges and obstacles etc etc. Soldier is fighting with enemies, putting lots of effort to over come obstacles they are facing. We also have to face to many challenges and we also need to fight with those to live and mover forwards and achieve our goals. Soldiers are fighting to capture land, rescue innocent people, protect their country etc etc. We also have to fight to live, achieve our goals, face to bad times and many more things in the battle field called life. Special Commandos doing this better than average soldiers. There for every soldier wants to be a special commando. Then why don't we try and be a special commando in this battle field called life.

busy than ever before

Im busy than ever before in my life. That does not mean I hate this. I always want to work hard and do something better. Same time I need to tell that hard working does not mean your doing the best thing. That's why we need to do things in smart way. Yes you need to do things in smart way and same time you need to work hard. I think that Im doing this right now and expecting some good out come very soon.

they are draging things even after said OK

I didn't able to post any thing for some time since I was busy as usual. Same time I didn't to take my head out of the things I was concentrating for last few weeks. Finally I can see the green light but things are keep on dragging as usual.

Even after a prospect say ok, its not the final ok. They are coming up with some more things even after decide to go ahead with us. Some people in Decision Making Unit (DMU) are trying to work according to their own agendas and some are playing lots of politics. They know our solution is good and we are the only people who can make it in real way but still they are trying to demand like nothing and squeeze all from us.

We got very little or nothing to do with these situations than wait and see.

I can see something positive for me in these tough situations. These things helping me to understand lots of things.

away from busy world for while

It was a great week end after some time. We spent the week end away from every thing and just relaxing. We kept everything away for a while such as busy office schedule, things at home etc etc and went out during the week end.

We were staying in Rvarina, a hotel located in Beruwala. It was a nice place to be (environment). But we found so many issues in 1st few minutes just after check in. The room they gave us was not well cleaned etc etc. We were pissed off. But there was a nice guy (he was the duty manager there) who attempt to the problem personally and arrange us a different room soon and things were fine from there.

The best thing was food. We were there for 3 meals and they had buffet all the times. Quality of the food also really good.

We spent the time by walking in the beach, garden, pool and it help both of us to refresh a lot after some time. We need to try and go some where like this at least once in three months time.

(I'll post the photos soon. I need to transfer those from SD card to PC.)

respect your time (at least others time)

Time is a really important factor for all the people. Specially for the Business people. We need to get the maximum out of our time and its important to be punctual as well. You need to have a good discipline with your time management and arranging your schedules. You need to schedule your day, week, month etc etc and work accordingly. Its acceptable to change it depend on the situation. But this is going to be a different story if you try to change your calender frequently or if you don't stick to your schedule. Mixing up your appointments can make lots of problems to you including missing very important activities and building a bad image for you.

I used to schedule my week on previous Friday and Im trying my best to stick to it. It makes my life easy as well as it helps me to do things on time. I hate to get late to an appointment (including lectures, party etc). I know most of the success full people use to work on time and work on schedule. Specially the business people work on time and they have respect to others time also. But there are some people who never care or respect to their time or other time. Its really pain full ting when you have to work with this kind of people.

I went to meet a customer in the morning with lots things in my mind when it comes to solution which we are going to offer to them. I got really bad experience with this person earlier also when it comes to starting a meeting on time. But I thought he will start today's meeting on time since it was schedule as 1st thing in the morning. I found that Im wrong. He killed almost my morning session. I was waiting for about an hour and finally walk off. HE was calling and sy sorry about the matter and telling he was at a urgent meeting. It can be an urgent meeting but he would have call me and inform it to me earlier or at least after i go to his office.

Then I was calling to another customer (who is a really nut one) to confirm a meeting which is schedule for tomorrow. I got really pissed off by his reply since he was telling that "sorry, I got another meeting and can we do this on Friday". This meeting was planed to start the project and we are expecting the presence of CEOs of both the companies. Still this man doesn't have any respect on others time.

I really can't understand how these people holding such responsible pistons as Managers in these organizations.

Im not telling my mwwting is the only important thing but we should respect the time we alocated for work which is pre-plnaed. If you can't make it for some good reason you need to inform the other party as soon as posible and should try to his time and effort.

We need to respct our time, at least others time.

last minute problems as usual

I used to these last minute problems but still its not easy to handle all the times. I was experiencing the latest one in this morning.

One of my prospect was suppose to come to my office (9.30.am) for a product t demo and everything was fine till 8.30am. I got a call from my colleague who supposed to join with me for the demo as a technical consultant. He met with an accident and he's going to be late and I realise that he won't able to make it for the demo.

I got very few options, a-postpone the demo b-get help from other consultant c-do it alone. Option [a] was not a good idea and i didn't want to even think about it. [b] was a hard thing since most of the guys who is willing to help me are not in the office and the Mr. BIG SHOTS don't care to help some one or the company than doing their day to day work. There for I decided to do it alone or do it with a junior guy who know some thing about the product.

Any way I was not that unlucky since our Operations Manager promised to send some else to his meeting and help me on the demo. This is something unbelievable since the people who didn't have that important work never thought as the way my Operation Manager act. Finally I managed to do the demo in really good way with him since he knows the product then any one else in the company. BIG THANX TO VASANTHAN (my Operations Manager).

24 Season 6

I was driving through Bambalapitiya yesterday and stuck in the traffic. I used to read holdings when I stuck in traffic. It was a great holding to see (which I was expecting to see for some time). MTV Channel-1 going to start the 24 Season 6 from next Sunday (24th June).

24 is the best TV series I ever watched and there were no news about when they going to start the next season after the end of season 5 in couple of months back. Any way its on the way.

Im sure my wife won't be too happy to hear this since she don't want me to watch TV till late night :)

nice time with friends

It was last Thursday and I got a call form my best buddies(from school days) and telling that they are coming to Colombo. They were coming for Anups's wedding on 1st June. I invite them for dinner (not only the guys came from Matara, other also who are in Colombo).

Rangana, Ishantha, Malaka & Chathura came from Matara and Mahendra and other were here. Ishantha was here after one year since he's working overseas. It was a nice time. All were there and had fun like good old days. But we missed Amila(wala) & Damitha who are working overseas.

Oh, we miss Anupa too. He was getting ready to be the BROOM tomorrow :)

after a long time

I didn't post anything here for a long time (almost one and half months). I was busy with my work and not free to write something. And there's nothing much than work as well. But I think I need to write about some special things happen in last few days and I need to maintain my blog up to date. There for I'll try and write as much as I can.

after new year holidays

Came back to work on yesterday after new year holidays. We went Matara (my home town) for new year. Met most of friends and relatives there. But didn't able to visit all the places as usual since we got a very short time to stay there. But it was a good break after working for six months without much break. Few holidays and change of environment help to refresh myself.

getting settle down with confidence

There's nothing much to do out side the office since all are shutting down for New Year. Up coming holidays are making things slow. All wants to take the decision and start projects after new year. There for I decided to do my home work and get ready for game after holidays. I manage to build a pretty heavy funnel for last few months after I join here and I got to close as much as I can soon after these holidays.

Im trying to take the opportunity of this time and started planning my work for next few months. I need to work more harder as well as in smart manner. I think I manage to get the necessary experience and maturity you need to have as a Business Development Manager. Its not so sophisticated. You need to have as well as develop lots of skills and so many other things. You need to the right thing at the right time and need to act according to the situation.

I think Im ready move forward and make things happen.

i can see the light but its so hard to move forward

I didn't able to post any thing for so many days. I was busy with work and things were so complected. I was not free to put my thoughts and write something.

I know Im hitting my head to break the wall & im so close to the final stage of it. But this is the most tough time. Things are moving very slowly & you need lots of patients at this stage.

I can see the light but its so hard to move forward due to lots of barriers. But Im not going to give up battle.

its 12 years for my love

Its 12 years for my love. Im so happy to think about it and remind about that day. Its exactly 12 years back. Im so proved to tell that I manage to marry my first love and we are doing so well.

Last 12 years were really great full. We came through many things including happiness and some hard ships, fun, Joy etc etc.

I met she when we are going for Maths classes and i didn't spend a moment without thinking about her. There were so many sleepless nights and finally I asked about love from her. Then we start this journey and we are keep on going. Im so lucky to have a such a lovely girl friend who became my wife. She is not only my better half but also my entire life.

from my youngest years

till this moment here

i never seen

such a lovely queen...

we moved to new place

Finally we found a new place to stay and moved there during the last week end. It was really hard to pack the stuff and move since we were in 2nd floor with spiral stair way. We manage to complete the task with our much troubles as I expected, thanx to every one who helped us. We got lot to arrange at new place.

I like our new place. This also got one bead room but we got enough space and this is a real house. Any way we need to arrange the thongs and put the curtains etc etc. We are thinking of complete these during this week end.

after some time

I didn't able to write anything here for some time. I was really busy with my work. But I should try and find some time to write something here at least twice a week. I need to develop my writing skilld and I think this is the best way for it.

really cool stuff from google

I found some new features of Google when I was trying to create my personalize Google home page for me. Actually there are so many things we can add to our home page. Any way I really love this new thing called as Google Notebook, Sticky Notes etc.

I was wondering how nice if I can have a online work space for so many years. Now this is what Google offers. This customized Google home page is like virtual desktop. Im having my mails, word processor, Spread sheets, Calender, Notes etc etc. What else I miss and what I need ? ? ? Now I can do my documents, spread sheets, notes on the Google. As a business development guy this is something I can manage my day to day work. Now I can keep all the necessary stuff on this Google docs and I can access, work on those from any where. Its just a matter fo finding a Internet connectivity. What a great thing.....

I strongly advice all the people to try out this and feel the difference. This is really cool. You can have your own virtual desktop kind of thing on Google.

work according to defined plan

Its time to work on some thing really urgent and reasonably hard. But still you got to go ahead and do this. This what Im going to do.

1. Take a book and write your task.
2. Work on an action plan to achieve your goal.
3. Define the time period and put deal lines to your plan.
4. Start work according to the plan you work out.
5. Believe on what your doing.
6. Never give up.
7. Work hard and meet your dead lines with positive out comes.
8. Always review the progress.

I really believe on this and I hope I'll able to get best out of this.

need to move fast

I don't know whats the mistake I did but this should be a mistake from my side. I was always on run but some things didn't work out in right way. This can be bcos I didn't follow some rules which I use to follow when I was doing like nothing. Any way its high time to move forward.

I think I capture the ground but I didn't put much attention to strength my power with the captured ground. But now its time to stand up with all the forces and go ahead and finish the job fully. This should be a really fast thing and should be workable too. I got very little time to complete all these things.

need to work on time managment

Its again an end of other busy week. I closed my first deal here at my new work place. There are so many happenings here. Now we need to keep going things. Its not so easy but if you really try and work hard you will able to repeat the success.

We need to work on qualified prospects as well as need to add more prospects to funnel. Then only we will able to keep things going. Since Im on run, adding new prospects is happening bit slowly. Now need to think about it do the necessary adjustments to my daily planes. This is the time I need to do my time management very strictly. Need to work on the things during the week end.

visit to my 1st client site

One of my prospects wanted to visit my exisiting customer and see how they are using our solution and etc etc. I took him to Hemas Marketing who is the 1st client for our CRM/ Sales Force Automation Solution. It was the Maharagama distributor of Hemas Marketing. This is the first site we did the pilot test when we are doing Hemas project.

I was working for differnt company at that time but I was a part of project since we(that time I was working for Logical) were part of this project. Logical was sub-contracted by X-ONT and I developed the palm application for this project. I was just a programer at that time (back in 2005) with very little experience. But I learned a lot during that development and implementation cycle and It was a real challenge. Palm developmets and palm applications are very new to SL at that time. After lots of effort and hard working we manage to implement it successfully.

Now its after 6 years I went their(customer site) as Business Development Manager of X-ONT. This visit helps me to look back and see how things went during so many years. Its not too bad. In 2001 I was a developmer and 2007 Im working as a Business Development Manager. (its a long story how I started as a Tech guy and now in Business Development). Not too bad ha..??

back to normal

This working week starts yesterday after long week end. My wife started work at her new place and Im also going to be really busy during this week. Both of us going to be busy with our work than in the past. We need to concentrate a lot about our career for next so many months. Need to arrange everything at home and should make sure everything is going well.

Week end was kind of good. Both of us were at home and we got lots of time for us. Managed to finished lots of pending work at home (cleaning, washing etc) too.

Now its again at office. Im about to close a deal. But anything can happen and not too sure till last minute.

i think it starts to happen

I think that things starts to happen. Few minutes back I was writing that things are happening slowly. Any way I herd the good news from my CEO.

One of our prospect selected our RD solution for them (for the moment I don;t want to talk about the prospect).

This is a result of hard working and lots of team effort. My CEO get ready for the demo with no time and I did the proposal within one day. This won't come 100% under my name since initial contact was from my CEO. Any way this is what I wanted after I joined here three months back.

We'll able to see more fire works very soon.

its soo slow

Things are happening very slowly. Slow & Steady is good but not at this time. This is the time I need things to happen its phase. I stop thinking about the environment and expecting help from others to do my things. Then whats the reason for this. Did I loose my rhythm or what?

Its time to refresh the things and come up with something different. I need to make things happen. There are some good things but need to increase the number of good things. I should read a book or something which helps me to feel good.

Warren Buffett

I got this as a email form one of my colleague. After reading this mail I fell that I should post this in my blog. This is a really interesting story which we can learn a lot.





There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffett,

The second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets
that he started too late!

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from
delivering newspapers.

3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in
mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years
ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house.
His house does not have a boundary wall or a fence.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a
driver or security people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the
world's largest private jet company.

6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He
writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these
companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds
meetings or calls them on a regular basis.

7) He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do
not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do
not forget rule number 1.

8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His
pastime after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn
and watch television.

9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first
time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had
anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled
his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the
meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee
of Warren Buffet.

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a
computer on his desk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards
and invest in yourself.

Time is the most valuable factor in today's world. Time is so important to us. But the problem is are we using our time in effective and efficient way. Are we using our time correctly? How many hours we are wasting in one single day?

Like this I can write number of questions when it comes to time and the way we are using time.

"Sorry, I didn't have time."

This is the most popular excuse people made when they didn't able to do something. But the question is you really didn't have time or something else. If your running out of time how we can address to that problem.

The most common answer is TIME MANAGEMENT. People talk a lot about time management. But are we managing our time in real way. There are many things we can talk about. But I suppose not to talk much about all those mistakes and all. Lets see how we can save our time and spent our time more efficiently.

But not in this post. Bcos I don't have time to writ more. lolzz :)

friends should be online

My best friend(Anupa) is out of country for a while. But we are sharing our things better than ever. We almost chat online every day. But when both are in same country (Sri Lanka) we didn't able to even exchange SMS once a week.

I read a joke some times back telling that "your not keep in touch with your friends bcos they don't have email". I think this joke has happened to me. lollz :)
