To analyze your current

To analyze your current situation, draw a chart of your work flow. Mark all correct procedures with green , mark all wrong procedures with red. If you do not see something that should be there, write it down and try to find a place for it. Your first priority is converting the red signs to green and then you will put the missed parts into their sections.

Missed Part of My Manner

I’m working on my Execution and I think this is the missed part of my life. This is almost 3 days that I have changed my plan.




Distlry and District- Toronto

Execution ! Execution ! Execution !

I like to tell people that all of our products and business will go through three phases. There's vision, patience, and execution.

Where the Music begins!

This is almost 6 years that I have been working with music instrumentals like keyboard and Piano but still I’m an amateur. probably you are whispering “shame on you….”
Today I’m going to buy a professional keyboard. I Hope that it can be a break-event in my music experience.

I Will keep you guys updated.

That’s it !

Getting IT help

"Getting IT help is often like some nightmarish choreography that will only end when you die!! ", I read this nice and true sentence in Globe And Mail newspaper.

there was an article titled as "Paper clips and other technologies " with this idea that if there is anything wrong with your computer, finally you need a paper clip to insert it into small hole in back of your PC until you hear a long beep which means it is resented. there you go , now your lovely PC is fine and alive !

The idea that paper clip, is the world's most powerful technology, had once again triumphed. You note this in your leather-bound agenda.

Reiki (Episode I )

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy). I try to collect some information about Reiki and present it with the purpose of spreading knowledge of what Reiki is.

Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Energy Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the clients energy system (aura). Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of. Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying form of something, much as modern physics research is now coming to understand the Universe is made of energy which is subject to (or affected by) thought. Just as modern physics says this energy is affected by thought the mystics also say this underlying form is affected by thought, going so far as to claim we create our own reality from our thinking and the thoughts we share between each of us every day.

Just for today, do not worry. Just for today, do not anger. Honor your parents, teachers, and elders.Earn your living honestly. Show gratitude to everything. Dr. Mikao Usui

I love Bill Gates !

Everybody knows that I love Bill Gates. It has been 12 years that I’m listening what he says, reading what he writes, doing what he recommend and ……
Here are some nice quotes from him.



Life is not fair; get used to it.

If you can't make it good, at least make it look good.

It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.

Often you have to rely on intuition.

Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Persian kind of Team Work

I was in a birthday party few hours ago and it was so funny. We had so much fun together and it was awesome. We were all Persians (20 people) except one lady. After party we were supposed to go to a dance club.
Here is the decision part :

1) We decided to go to a Persian club and someone said it would be closed. We didn’t care and we went there. Unfortunately he was right and it was closed.
2) We decided to go to a club for salsa dance , again one of us had white shoes on and they didn’t allow him in , for dignity's sake, we all decided not go.
3) The we decided to go to another Persian club , it doesn’t match with our dresses so we didn’t go.
4) We were about to go to another club that someone said let’s forget about club and let’s go somewhere else like a cafe shop and ………..

Note : at the beginning we were about 20 and at the end we were about 9. more than 50 percent loss !!!!!!!!!!!

What I want to say that above story is a real sample of our team work and that’s why we can not manage a group. In Iran I was an IT manager and I had the same issue with all of my staff.
I think they way that we think, manage and make decision is totally wrong. We have the same issue with larger scale about our society. I really want to change the way that I think, manage and make decision.
Execution is what we are missing.

Toronto !

It’s 4:00 AM Saturday morning. Toronto’s weather gonna be better. After one week working hard, it’s so cool to have some fun.
I had no feeling about Toronto. Now there is something in my heart that I can feel it.

Am I going to like this city ?! i think so.

I miss Traditional Life !

Yesterday I was working on a router in Chicago. I was configuring it to pass calls to another router in Vietnam, there was a disconnect issue that made me crazy. I spent 14 hours on this configuration. Can you believe it? I was just like sitting on my seat behind my Laptop and spending 14 hours nonstop while I have around 40 degree fever. Yeah, there we go. Here is crazy IT industry. When I was in Iran, I was thinking about being a Nerd!! . Now after one year and half , I would rather be a typist than an IT professional. The problem is when you are at the edge, usually no one can help you, probably because this is the first time that this device is testing in such a this condition. If you call technical support they will easily say they are interested to see the reason and will ask you if you find it please let us know. Anyway, in the 21st century still there are Happy people that they don’t have internet cable at their home. They have no idea about IT and they will not check their e-mails every 3 minutes. They should know the real meaning of happiness.

Ali & Linda a nice and true story !

Last week I watched a nice movie in HotDocs Festival . Here is the information:

Linda & Ali, Two Worlds within Four Walls(Belgium, 2005, 93 min)

Directors: Lut Vandekeybus

---

Short Story : Linda and Ali are a somewhat unusual couple. Twenty years ago, Ali, a Muslim Qatari, was attending university in Arizona.
There he met Linda, an American who had converted from Catholicism to Islam while in her teens. They fell in love, married and moved to Doha, Qatar to raise their family in the Islamic tradition. Seven children later, Linda and Ali have established a routine but one that’s not entirely satisfactory to either one of them. The filmmaker spent a period of two years in their home - beginning just prior to the invasion of Iraq - intimately documenting their daily lives. The clashes of their household are sometimes caused by cultural differences between East and West, sometimes by differences between man and woman. The conflict comes to a head when Linda’s mother is hospitalized and she must return to the U.S. Can Linda and Ali’s love for each other and their children bridge their two disparate worlds?

Disciplinarian

Being so sick, I did not get any chance to write. Sometimes your soul will be punished and your body will pay for it. I did something wrong to my friend and now it’s my punishment. Please forgive me ……..

Crazy weather in Toronto !

Who can understand bad weather, more than Torontonians!!! This is almost end of spring and it’s cold here. A friend of mine decides to leave this country just because of this crazy weather. I ought to go with her. I have my fingers crossed to see warm weather.

Business @ the speed of thought

In compare with life in Iran , here we are always at the edge. The speed of whatever we are doing is multiplying by the speed of thought. These days, I’m reading a book titled as “business at the speed of thought” ,written by Bill gates. Now I can understand what it means.

Two major arguments that have reasonable effect on foreseeable future are “Information Technology” and “Information Management”. Former is changing the way that we do the business while the latter is changing the way that we gather, Process and publish information. Everyone who involved with this revolution is working at the speed of though. Immediately after
Analyzes ,we should focus on the executable ways that will address human’s needs. Unexceptionally, next step is execution, which is the most important part. What I understand from
Living in north America is that nothing is completed till get executed.

Why Weblog Again ? do you remember Solivan ?!

Hi. There we go !!!!.Finally I restart to writing on this cybernetic world. I have been writing for 4 years on BBS's. For those that they know BBS , Solivan is a known name. Yeah ! You are right . This is Salman. I'm Persian but I’m living in Canada now. It’s almost one year and half that I'm in Toronto. I'm writing this web log to broadcast my personal ideas and describe the way that I'm living. In compare with Persia, here we are living in different circumstances. I have been in Paris and I know the European life style. I have been in Dubai too.
I want to say that living in North America is totally different from any kind of life that I have seen before.
I will clarify my personal Ideas in this web log. Sometimes I may write something which will not be matched with your ideas. That's one of web log's features. also I may paste some quotes and poems from other authors. I like archiving and it helps me to gather nice information together.
Talk to you soon.
Salman
