The Edge Of Success

By Alt at 10/21/08 07:20

Yesterday, one of my email subscription letter came from WebProNews.com and while I don't really like what they used to sent me in general, that particular email was a bit different and was really helpful.

The email's title was "This story will change your life". I easily gets carried away with cheesy titles so it persuaded me to open it. Far from, the usual email of jagged words and full of links, that specific letter was neat, contains no other link aside from the download page.

I'm A PC And This Is My Office

It's nothing new to let you know I still use Windows as my preferred (OS) operating system. I grew up with it and I don't think a Mac lifestyle is for me so I gotta stick with what I'm used to.

Although I think I will be installing Linux in a few days for my other computer. A lot of people are telling me and encouraging me to try Ubuntu, so I guess I'll just have to give it a try.

But for the mean time, I will have join force with millions of people exclaiming "I'm A PC".

Water For Sale

Earth is more than 3/4 filled with water. The oceans are big enough to flood any country in case a great tsunami happens. Anywhere you go, there is water. Anywhere where there is life, there is water.

Drawer Power

This morning I was in my friend's office asking him for some help about certain papers. It's still 8am and he's still not awake that time. I don't want to wake him up and just told his mom I'm willing to wait until he wakes up.

His mom brought me to his home office, a relatively small room on the first floor of their house. It's not an official office, just a place for him to do his work and pile his paper subscriptions, you know, Newsweek and National Geographic.

Office Space

I was in the video rental store this morning looking for some good videos that can at least make me relax after a full days work. I was looking for something that will at least make me smile, or even laugh. It's a hard life I'm living so I guess a once in a while break is okay.

I stumbled on the old movies shelf and I saw a not-so-recent film. It's title was Office Space. Just by looking at it, I know its the film that I'm looking for. So I immediately get it and went home.

Night Profit - The Rice Congee Business

Creating a business is not as easy as 1 2 3. It requires a lot of determination and knowledge for you to be able to establish a good business that will last for long years. Businesses do not really require a big starting capital, if you have the right amount and you are sure of what you are doing, then you are good to go.

This is what my neighbor did. He doesn't have any big sum of money to spend for business promotion. His money is not even enough to rent an office when he was just starting. But if you can see him now, he's got a nice house, 2 cars and has started a couple of other businesses. He started with what he call "night profit".
