Monday morning Inspiration # 15

Message from a staircase



Climbing the staircase = Success in your career
Climbing the staircase under difficult condition (like say slippery or real narrow ones) = True success as one has overcome the difficult time to achieve what one needs.

While trying to climb under difficult condition , if one looses balance and injures his hand or leg its his own loss . Similarly, if one looses his values in life or the ethics to be successful its again his own loss.

ICGE - Updated with pics

The International conference on global Entrepreneurship was held at SRM University in the outskirts of Chennai from Dec 20-22nd 2007 . I was one of the delegates and it was the first time I'm participating in something like this thou' I have been thinking of pursuing a career in Entrepreneurship for a couple of years now. I presented a paper on "Entrepreneurship in the Hospitality Industry" (guess I was one of the youngest participants in the conference) . I enjoyed the whole experience and looking forward for more such events.

The Chief guest of the conference was Ashok Soota (Chairman and MD Mindtree consulting) . There were very many invited talks from eminent people from world over . Had participants from India, Singapore, Japan, US and Iran . It was a very diverse and new experience for me. The most interesting part of this conference was the panel discussion . There were panel discussions in the areas of Women Entrepreneurship , Educational Entrepreneurship, Youth Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship .

Panel discussion on Women and Youth Entrepreneurship were a few of my favorites as I was able to connect with what they spoke.. If I go into detail Im sure the post would continue for pages . The most inspiring talks were by Shalin jain and Sarath Babu , the two youth Entrepreneurs . The panel discussions were most headed by prof. from Virginia university and Women Entrepreneurship panel was geaded by Dr.Sushila rao (C0-founder Soft skills India).

These 3 days turned out to be very enlightening and I have gained a lot too and have come up with a few quotes myself , will share it with you guys in my Moday morning inspiration. Thank you all for your wishes ,like I said my presentation went well ..

This post is not complete yet have a few pics to upload my broadband is kinda low, so uploading pics at the moment is taking time . Will let you all know after uploading , you can see the upload message in my title.. :)

Pro360.com

I'm not sure how many of my readers will actually be interested in online gambling. But, I'm sure there would be many who would like to know what its all about and a few top listed online casinos. Well, as for me i don't have any idea online gambling or online casino .

This site here pro360.com is about all that and more. It is actually a review site that reviews casinos , not jus' with their opinion but with editor ratings and player ratings as well . Surely a lot of stuff must have gone into to creat such a unique review site for casinos .I checked out the amount of information they provide and I was amazed . I was pretty jobless with my holidays going on so jus' dropped by this website to gain some knowledge in this area .

The website also has an amazing listing of Poker and casino centres which offer a lot of bonus on signing up which goes to as high as $888. And if you have no idea about what all these things are (jus' like me) and have a small urge to jus' try it out . They also have a beginners guide to online gambling .So, have fun and play safe.

Its holiday time again ...

Holiday time is back , Christmas season, New year celebrations, lot of relaxing ,partying, shopping and so much to fit into in the remaining 20 odd days before my college starts .. I know most of you would have already known that im on holiday but its today that im becoming full time jobless as I don have any commitments like i did until few days back for the conference and so on.. So, don' think I would be boring any of you readers with my conferences and presentation may be jus' one more post for me in that topic .. I'm sure most of you would be having a wonderful time already over the weekend .. Wish you all loads of fun and celebration and lets welcome 2008 in a fun way :)

Happy weekend !

My presentation, conference and entrepreneurs...

The conference(ICGE, which I was talking about in my last before post ) has enlightened me in many ways .. Im yet to give my presentation , which will be tomorrow.. At the end of the 2nd day in the 3 day conference I am so excited . Not because I have my presentation tomorrow that may matter only partly but the best thing of these two days were the kind of people I met a LOT of entrepreneurs (thou' not very popular but im sure quite a few of you would have heard about them they are mainly Indian entrepreneurs.. It was a very exciting forum , much better than what I had expected of it. The line up of spreakers were amazing , I jus' truly enjoyed every moment there .. One more day to go and I hope I could make the best use of it too . I have a few pics to put it up here..Due to the lack of time and in availablity of the connecting cable will do it sometime later ..

You all have a lovely weekend and a great time too!

P.S : Due to lack of time im not able to drop by any of your blogs, guess I will be back to my routine starting monday :)
