Searching the Web

   Posted by: michy   in General

Searching for information can be pretty easy nowadays with all the technology that we have. But don’t you just wish that we have a search engine where we can just put a scanned picture and that search engine will find the name of the person that we are searching for or the place that we want to go to? Hmmm, wouldn’t that make stalking a lot easier? ;) But kidding aside, have you tried searching for PDF files on the web? Don’t you just wish for a PDF search engine that will only index books, textbooks, documents, manuals and guides in PDF formats? I mean not everyone can have word processing software like word right? What if you only have Adobe reader in your PC? Wouldn’t this kind of engine be more helpful to you?

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes…

   Posted by: michy   in Rumblings

I have this site that I go to every now and then for I can relate to some of the entries that this guy puts up in his site.  I like his posts for he would normally put a qoute in the end which makes me stop and think for a while.  These past few days have been challenging for me for first, a friend had betrayed me (or so I and some of friends thought) and secondly I felt that I am not effective and effecient enough at work and so I felt like quitting (not to mention my bad ass colds that did nothing but try to make me stay in bed).  So today, I went to dropped by his site and saw this qoute:

“The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try. I would never promote to a top-level job a man who was not making mistakes…otherwise he is sure to be mediocre.”
- Peter Druker

I realized when I read this qoute that I shouldn’t be too worried about making mistakes after all, in life or in my career, for what I should worry about is what should I be learning from the experience for me to prevent the same mistake to happen in the future.  For mistakes are there to teach us about the consequences of the actions that we make not to remind us how ineffecient we are as a person.  It is there to help mold us and in time make us the best person that we can be.
