We Are UnLucky - 90 Days ..Unfair


I like the intro of this book. Hmm read this...


"THE PRESIDENT of the United States gets 100 days to prove himself; you get 90. The actions you take during your first three months in a new job will largely determine whether you succeed or fail. Transitions are periods of acute vulnerability, because you lack established working relationships and a detailed understanding of your new role. If ou fail to build momentum during your transition, you will face an uphill battle from that point forward.

Sounds interesting right. For further reading check it out at your nearby bookstore.


Title : The First 90 Days

I'm just a guy with engineering background

Recently, I was asked to comment on our economy - Recovery or Recession?

For a layman, I guess this was my comment /answer to the questioner.

Economy is like a marriage. If we're married to the same race, to the same community, our children .. most probably their faces, their IQs, values = same.

However, If we're married to the different race, different community, our children.. most probably their faces, their IQs, values = different.

So, in order for our economy to prosper, we do need Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Domestic Direct Investmet (DDI).

Recovery or Recession - let the experts in economy do the talking. I'm just a guy with engineering background .. expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) 1D,2D, 3D, static, dynamic, and force-displacement equation.

--- Correct Me If I Am Wrong ---

A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A, M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B.
Fat Domino, US Musician
My comments:
You get hired or fired not because of your excellent work and your qualifications (Ph.D, Degree or Diploma). Truth be told, it just someone in (the authority) like or dislike you. So play the office politic smartly.
How?
Follow these basic steps:
  1. Learn the pinnacle
  2. Who is connecting to whom?
  3. Who is influencing to whom?
  4. Who is the real in-charge (manager or nominal manager)
  5. Pick a team (team A or team B)
  6. Last but not least, learn how to play the game.

Thank you for reading this article. I just giving back to the nation.
