See you on the other side!

Big announcement coming on Monday…

Do you feel the sound of your heart thumping with excitement? Well, that is our marketing team hammering away in your chest.

Come back Monday for news from us…

For now, why dont you guys start speculating on what it could be in the comments? Come on, make us feel like Apple for once!

(Oh and in case I’ve already met you and told you, lets keep it a secret for the rest)

Coffee for Thought

The best way of finding the answer

you’re looking for is to build it yourself

Officially, I need a vacation

Too many things to do … sleepless, without coffee and rather frustrated too.

Nestle should start making strong, powdered expresso shots for types like me. Better yet just make an inhaler with coffee essence for a quick buzz on the go!

Anyway, I’m going to take a little time off to complete some things before getting back to G&W.

In the meantime, here’s a short and easy puzzle for you business managers and strategists (Write your thoughts in comments). It’s rather simple and would serve to educate all the other readers.

What is the Value Chain of the Managed Services industry?

Mobile Virus Alert!

Alright people, do not panic…

… that news spreading around Pakistan about a call from a certain number that can actually make you catch a deadly flu because of a mobile virus? Well, we’re fairly certain its a fake. Trust us, we’ve been field testing these things for a while now.

For the rest of us, yes that 15-minutes-of-fame prank did end up causing quite a bit of stir around these parts. Enough for GEO News to actually send out a public advisory like the above on national TV.

It is quite interesting to look at this in terms of how much mobile technology has penetrated our markets.

On another note, yes I’m still catching up and I’d thank the readers who keep sticking around… there is a lot to report from TIECon, Job Fairs, and elsewhere so keep tuned in…

Catching up…

Just got back from a 2-week business trip and getting back up to speed with things.

Will be back at Green & White over the weekend…

Donald Trump on Experience VS Education

So, does education matter or experience? We have been going back and forth on this frequently recently.

Donald Trump says its experience, and most of the people that I meet concur.

Where you will be 2 years after you graduate does not depend on whether you spent $$$$ studying at LUMS or went to other univs here, but on how little you were willing to sleep and “have a life” in those early years of your careers.

20 years after you graduate no one would even care about your education — they will care about the type of dealmaker you are in a specific type of industry.

The thing to consider is this: Why would you want to depend on the brand of someone else (e.g. LUMS) to have people respect you? Why can’t your own worth by enough to turn heads?

The bottom line should be this: The key to becoming that glowing gem that everyone in the industry is desperate to know and associate with IS in how dependable you can become.

Can someone else put his credibility on the line to push your ideas forward, and then KNOW that you will be right there to catch the ball and execute?

If you can, you will not only have the elusive job satisfaction but will also make millions. You will have the credibility and the right to propose your ideas, and you will be able to do the types of things you want to do.

If you cannot, then all you are is a person who keeps complaining about letting him do what he wishes to do — no one backrolls, supports or puts their money on unreliable and undependable people.

That was my take — Donald’s take is more business oriented and you can read it here.
