A message
A very good friend of mine (PC) sent me this great message, I just want to share it with you:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to > you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Religion
Physicist and Nobel prizewinner Stephen Weinberg describes religion as an insult to human dignity. ‘Without it,’ he says, ‘you’d have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion.’

What if!
I was sitting on my couch and thinking of absolutely nothing. I am only away few sentences from finishing my thesis correction. I have done major corrections and I need to go through few minor corrections. It is only matter of few hours! But I can’t work tonight! I can’t do anything tonight! I am hibernated! My brain is frozen and is not working! So I put my thesis side. Nothing interesting on TV, not even a fifth class Hollywood movie! Then I decided to take shower. May be it helps, but it didn’t. So again on the couch and staring on switched off TV. Then I remembered my earlier conversation with AMN. What if the world was different? No, the world is fine, I believe! What if people of the earth were different? What if people were more friendly, more trustful and honest? Why we can’t trust each other? Why we abuse our friends? Why few of us are working so hard and the rest doing nothing? I know we are not perfect and even if we were perfect then the life was so boring. But I think we could use our talent and power to do more positive and constructive things than destroying each other! We could do many things and anybody could be part of it. But everyday we see people lying and hurting each other. People are becoming more and more selfish. We know that we can’t reach out objectives without others but we do not respect their objectives and ideas. We just want to reach our targets by the cheapest way in the shortest time! What if all people I knew and I met were still here and I could trust them!
PS There is a good movie on TV and I have to go!

Love
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody .You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Brad Pitt ."
Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"
When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of your peace, which transcends all understanding. Amen.

Job hunting! (1)
Are you looking for a job in Engineering field? Do you want to work in your field? Well I have to say it is not difficult if you do it step by step. The only thing you need is starting job hunting on the right time and in the right place! If you are a final year student and you know that you will get your degree in a year then start looking for a job NOW! Do not waste your time by saying I have one year and I can do it in summer! Make a list of all companies working in your field. If you are a Chemical Engineer then make a list of all companies in chemical industry. Then shortlist them on the basis of your interest. Now go to their website and do a little research about them. Where is their base? What are they doing? what is their overturn? How many employees have they? etc. Then again shortlist them and you will come out with few companies that you really want to work for.

Life is Life
What a great day I had yesterday! Well it all started early morning with a phone call from a friend! That was just the start...My friend had a problem and another friend was involved. Then my good friend got a ticket (£80.00) for parking her car in front of my flat just 30 min after the phone call! Then I received a great email from the company I was hoping to work for them. The email was just like a punch in my face and I was confused for several hours. Then after a lovely evening and night with Mayor of Battle City I bought two pizza and we went home after mid night hoping that everything will be fine day after. But that bloody day did not finish there. When I opened the pizza box they were GREEN! Yes the last thing we needed to complete our day. So I left the flat and went to the shop to change the pizza! After all, we went to bed 4 AM. What a wonderful day. But Life is Life and we go on and continue and we will never give up. This is life.

Can a PhD student get a job?
Of course we all looking forward to getting a job after doing our course, degree, MBA or PhD. Some of us think that more you study more difficult to get a job as there is a possibility of becoming overqualified. Giant companies prefer to employ graduates with a good degree, give them necessary training and then make them default for a specific mission. Yes, it is cheaper and less risk, as graduates follow company’s orders and guides line by line. But how about a doctor? A person who has developed high skills with good potentials and strong research background. Can he be a good employee? Can the company use him as a machine? Well, technically yes but not for a long time! I mean the process is new for a doctor but he will learn it very soon. Even he is able to modify or improve it. So after a period the process will be definitely boring. So eventually employing a doctor for a simple task will not be efficient. So where can a doctor go? To academia? If he doesn’t appreciate academia? If he likes to go to industry? Can he be employed as a professional? The answer is NO. I have tried and all the companies I applied are seeking for a professional with at least two years work experience. They do not count postgraduate experience as work experience whereas I believe it is and it is a priceless experience. The skills I developed during my PhD are useful and priceless. Skills such as:
- project management
- networking
- communicating
- presentation skills
- lateral thinking
- time management
and overall of all above skills I became a lifelong learner. I can find out about anything that I don’t know. So where can I work. I have one suggestion and that is CONSULTANCIES!
Yes, that’s the only place that you can go and apply your skills, using your project management skills and climbing the employment ladder very fast. You will be involved in many projects and will learn many new things. I think that’s the only place a person with PhD can be employed apart of academia.

Doing PhD?
To do PhD or not to do PhD? That's the question! This is a question that for the last three years I have asking myself. Also everyone I know asked me the same question! I believe PhD is a process and of course it has a product but it is more a process. A process that you go through it and earns and develop many useful skills. So if you have time, money and ambition to do it, do not hesitate.. DO IT! But if you are thinking by getting a PhD you will make more money, or you think it will be easier to find a job then do not it. PhD offers you something that you will never get in other places. It organise your mind. Here I have to say I know many cases that PhD students could not get anything from it and they just wasted their time. It really depends on you...how you deal with and how you mange it. So do it if and only if you are 100% sure.
