Ambient awareness

Ambient awareness is a term used by social scientists to describe a new form of peripheral social awareness. This awareness is propagated from relatively constant contact with one's friends and colleagues via social networking platforms on the Internet. Some examples of social networking websites areFacebookMyspaceTwitterBlogger,delicious.com, etc. The term essentially defines the sort of omnipresent knowledge one experiences by being a regular user of these media outlets that allow a constant connection with one's social circle.

MOST EFFECTIVE 30-Second Speech by Bryan Dyson

This is the MOST EFFECTIVE 30-Second Speech by Bryan Dyson (former CEO, Coca Cola).

 

 IT IS VERY SHORT, MOST EFFECTIVE and TRUE...

 

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

 

You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

 

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

 

They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

 

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.
