7 Steps to Making Your Future Clearer and Brighter

clipped from iamalwayslate.org Along with lack of motivation, such factors as vagueness, uncertainty and lack of clarity are among the key reasons of our bad habits, discouragement and procrastination. For those who are determined to fight with these problems and look for positive changes in their life, I would like to offer a strategy created by Dr. Brian Tracy , an experienced time management specialist, lecturer and business coach, who wrote several books of special techniques and recommendations for those who suffer from chronic procrastination and lack of personal effectiveness. He argues that everyone who wants to be successful in this world has to define own goals and aspirations. This can be done in the following 7 steps: Step 1. Decide Step 2. Think on paper Step 3. Estimate an optimistic deadline and a pessimistic deadline for your goals Step 4. Think about everything you need to do, learn or accomplish in order to achieve your goals Step 5. Organize Step 6. Take action!

Doubling Your Strengths?

However, the message is confusing. It says: To be successful, we need only half of our selves—our strengths. By redefining the concept of strengths, I have created a framework that describes all of the ways that a person can think, feel, and behave as strengths. How is it that we don't have weaknesses? We are so used to thinking in a positive-negative framework, which is a self-limiting way of thinking. So, it's almost natural that when we think about a strength we have, we immediately start looking for a negative, or a weakness. For example, if you see yourself in positive terms as outgoing and gregarious, you might think negatively about yourself when you are quiet and less expressive. I want you to see yourself not in terms of strengths and weaknesses but in terms of opposite strengths. clipped from www.businessweek.com By learning how to exploit your "weaknesses," you can turn them to your advantage Do you believe—as most of us have been led to—that you have str

When Was The OSF Founded Unix

The Open Software Foundation (OSF) was an organization founded in 1988 to create an open standard for an implementation of the Unix operating system. The founding of the organization was largely seen as a response to the collaboration between AT&T and Sun Microsystems on UNIX System V Release 4, and a fear that other vendors would be locked out of the standardization process. This led Scott McNealy of Sun to quip that "OSF" really stood for "Oppose Sun Forever." OSF's standard Unix implementation was known as OSF/1 and was first released in 1992.[2] For the most part, it was a failure; by the time OSF stopped development of OSF/1 in 1994, the only vendor using OSF/1 was Digital, which rebranded it Digital UNIX In February 1996 the new OSF merged with X/Open to become The Open Group. Despite the similarity in name and the fact that both groups were based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, there was never any connection between OSF and the Free Software F

C Program Usage fseek fopen ftell and fprintf

I need a c program to write update values in a file. Here is simple logic for it. steps. open file. set the file pointer using fseek. (same as lseek) write the value. close the file. int fseek(FILE *stream, long offset, int whence); off_t lseek(int fildes, off_t offset, int whence); The lseek function repositions the offset of the file descriptor fildes to the argument offset according to the directive whence as follows: SEEK_SET The offset is set to offset bytes. SEEK_CUR The offset is set to its current location plus offset bytes. SEEK_END The offset is set to the size of the file plus offset bytes. Some more notes on this; From step one one can open file in read mode or r+ mode; then in second step set the file pointer to the end of file using fseek, with SEEK_END. using fprintf update the values in file. The other way to do this is open file in append mode, then no need to setting file pointer, as if file

Where Linux User Group Information Stored

Where does linux stores user and group information? User names and primary groups are stored in /etc/passwd . This file can be directly edited using the 'vi' editor, although this is not recommended. Format of the file is * User name (normally all lower case) * Password (encrypted - only contains the letter 'x') * User ID (a unique number of each user) * Primary Group ID * Comment (Normally the person's full name) * Home directory (normally /home/ * Default shell (normally /bin/bash) Each field is separated by a colon. for example: # cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/sh daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh adm:x:3:4:adm:/adm:/bin/sh lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/bin/sh sync:x:5:0:sync:/bin:/bin/sync shutdown:x:6:11:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/bin/sh operator:x:11:0:Operator:/var:/bin/sh nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/home:/bin/sh admin:x:1001:1000:a

The mystery of moving rocks is yet to be revealed...

"Over the years there were many speculations and possible explanations made on how the stones move, ranging from supernatural to very complex. Most hypotheses favored by interested geologists posit that strong winds when the mud is wet are at least in part responsible. But some stones weigh as much as a human, which some researchers feel is too heavy for the area's wind to move. They maintain that ice sheets around the stones either help to catch the wind or move in ice flows. But both theories don't explain how two rocks right next to each other could go in two opposite directions or one could stay put while the one three times the size, doesn't. So far every attempt of explanation has been insufficient and purely assumptive. The mystery of moving rocks is yet to be revealed". clipped from stressbuster1.com The moving rocks, also known as sliding rocks or sailing stones, are a geological phenomenon found in Racetrack Playa, a seasonally dry lake (a playa) locate
