What is the plan for the new year ? - need to think on what are we trying achieve during next year 2018 - basically the life goals - may be personal or professional - and also it should be realistic (not something like going to Mars ;)) Why we need a plan for the new year ? - basically a goal without a plan is a DREAM - And also should be able to measure (what you cannot measure, you cannot manage) How to prepare a new Year resolution/plan ? - Leave some buffer time - Make changes during the year (life is changing/evolving) - Plan is only for you (do not share it) - When a milestone is achieved, celebrate - Try to stick to the plan - otherwise no point of planing

I was reading "The rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki" here is a one point that he mentions on that. Basically Asset as he says is little bit different than on books. If something puts money in your pocket it is a asset. And Liabilities are the ones that takes money out of your pocket. OK for example a house or a car may seems like an Asset but it takes money out of you pocket to maintain them. But if you rent them or make them to make money at the end of the day you can convert it to a asset. Basically that what rich people do. They buy assets. Middle class buy liabilities (thinking those are assets) and stuff (a lot of them that not used or that not needed). Lower class buy to consume (basic needs like foods).

I watched a youtube video and thought to share with you all. Bill Gates recently gave a speech at High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talked about how to feel-good. Politically correct teachings have created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will except you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car, phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called in opportunity. Rule 6 : If you messed up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't wh...

Was lucky to have a chance to watch a video done by Brian Tracy on Time Management. It was great and thought to do a short note on that. Here is the note and the video. Here is the note I took by listening to it. Goals - what is it you want to accomplish ? personal/family goals business/financial goals self development goals Plans of Action - put it in writing Analysis - Make a list (make the list of day before evening - to do list) Set Priorities - what is relevant and irrelevant ? what is the most valuable use of my time ? Concentration - Learn how ! - work on single task at time until it is completed Deadlines and Rewards - positive logical consequences. Time Log - where is all your time going ? Procrastination - positive or negative - Do it now! Do it now! Do it now! - get the job done fast Delegate - delegate everything you can - Clarity Think what you want done - write it down Pick the right person to do it Crystal clear on what you want done and wh...

Developed a Facebook app for mobiles and it was loading a lot of images through several AJAX requests. And was working fine on simulators tried and was given to Client for testing. But suddenly was receiving screenshots of the app that appears sooo wired. With the details of the versions and devise he was testing I just Googled regarding this and found it is an error or a bug or a mistake or something that happens on Safari on iOS 5. Best result found on this matter, http://tech.vg.no/2011/12/14/safari-on-ios-5-randomly-switches-images/ Successfully tested on latest iOS versions and also on few android devices and they were fine. My suggestion is please update your OS if you still got iOS 5.

I was asked to give a report on the Invitations table as follows. What I wanted to give as the result is the invitee details per inviter. So simply I do not want to repeat the "inviter". Invitations invitee_name inviter invitee gayan          345         4654 kosala          345         7655 chamara          567         7653 nilanka          567         1236 So basic query for the demanding result is "SELECT * FROM Invitations GROUP BY inviter;"  But then what happens is some results are omitted. So I need to concat the "invitee" and "invitee_name" columns when grouping by 'inviter'. For this MySQL simply gives a function as “GROUP_CONCAT”.
