In the end of the week I decided to ad here a few quotes that I found in LinkedIn while browsing one of my favorite groups there. They sound really inspiring If you want – share your thoughts below.
Win fast or lose fast.
–Quoted by John Toy
Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes.
–Henry Kaiser
If you’re going through hell, keep going.
–Winston Churchill
Things may come to those who wait, but only what’s left behind by those that hustle.
– Abraham Lincoln
Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.
– James Baldwin
People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.
–Zig Ziglar
Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

You must forget about being cautious, because if you don’t, you’re licked before you start.
I used to like the deviant thumbs plugin for wordpress, but yesterday I found out that it was slowing my blog page. And by slowing, I mean giving at least 4 seconds difference in loading time with fast internet connection. This caused increase in my bounce rate and that’s why I noticed the problem. As soon as I deactivate the plugin everything goes normal….
I really liked this plugin, but the whole blog experience is much more imporrtant. I hope that the author will do something in order to correct the problem, but who knows….
It’s not a secreat that I am a great fan of nearly every track that was performed at Woodstock (69). I have listened to all of them and watched the video coverage a thousand times…and I grow even more envious towards the people that was there
One of the best performances there, in my view, is Santana’s soul sacrifice. It’s just smashing!!! And as everyday I learn something new -- yesterday Ilearned who is the drummer that plays at Woodstock with Santana. His name is Michael Shrieve and it seems that he was the youngest performerat Woodstock (only 19 years old). After a short background check in Wikipedia and some other online sources, it appears that the he is a very popular musician even today and he has a track of success.
Below are two performances of his -- first is from Woodstock (of course) and then one with Jonas Hellborg and Buckethead (sounds great!!!).
Just kidding! No way that I start the post like this
Now to the essence. Today, while browsing through LinkedIn, I found a really interesting competition. It’s one where the best sales article of the year is to be selected. Great!!!
At http://top10salesarticles.com/ you can find these pieces and I guarantee you that they are really well written and helpful. My personal favorites are the articles of Drew Stevens and Tibor Shanto. They both take into consideration some of the top time management issues when performing sales tasks. Everyone have had to deal with this at some point of time, so have a look and reflect on your own experience. Also, in no case miss the 5 Sales Management Tips of Dave Kurlan.
I will be glad if you comment which are your personal favorites
This week I had to prepare a survey to be presented to our clients. I have created a draft of the survey long time ago and after some comments- the official launch had to take place. I had a large list of sites, offering free online surveys, yet all of them had pros and cons….so I had to choose carefully. Below I will present both QuestionPro and SurveyPirate.
As some of you know, in the forthcoming CSS 3.0 there will be tons of great improvements, including diagonal-writing, round edges through code and up to 8 background images for an element. This is fantastic but so far we cannot use these goodies and have to overcome the difficulties by hand.
Today I had to improve my company’s corporate blog comments.php. In the process I had to apply two background images to my comments block, but this appeared to be not so smooth. Of course, I consulted with many sites and the options varied from nested elements to empty div classes (God forbid…). In the end I decided to try with inline-css coding. I post my solution here so that it gives yet another alternative to the ones that has been posted already. I will be glad if you have suggestions for improvements. Read the rest of this entry »
Thanks to my colleague Martin, I have been officially added to the Google Wave preview. At first glance the new idea of the googlers is really cool. Let me point out some of the features that I liked the most:
Freedom of composition of the screen
Interactive approach towards the communication between the people
Interesting gadgets to be used (and potential for many new ones)
Combines email+IM (not like their try in gmail’s environment)
Allows multiple people working on one thing (something that I need and use on daily basis at work)
Of course, there are cons of the new Wave system:
Still slow at some points
The people can see while the others they chat with are writing…but in many cases this is distracting and most importantly – inconvenient (i.e: Hi Sue, sweetie….ops, sorry Marry, darling this was meant for another person)
Lacks some logical buttons (mute…but no unmute etc.)
Still, my overall impression is that this can turn into something really big and, moreover – pretty soon. And now some fun – have a look at 3 gadgets (actually 2 gadgets and 1 robot), that I fell in love with:
