10 things to learn from our Primeminister Narendra Modi

10 things to learn from our Primeminister Narendra Modi

Narendra Damodardas Modi is a name we all have heard of, and the Lok Sabha Elections were enough to prove the faith the country that happens to be the largest democracy of the world has put in this man.

Public Speaking Skills

The man has something in his voice that makes head turn. Even the people who don't happen to like him have agreed that they never miss a speech by the Indian Prime Minister. And we can't even say that this all is because of someone who writes his speeches, as the Independence Day saw him speaking without any written speeches, and this sure is going to be one of the most remembered speeches from an Indian PM.

Discipline

The 15th Prime Minister of India has always led a disciplined life. Ever since he was made a bal swayam sevak in RSS, which is known to instill discipline in all its members, he has followed a disciplined regimen.

Determination

Ever since he was a child who used to help his father and brother in their tea stalls, he was determined to make it big for himself. He has been associated with RSS since an early age, and that shows the determination that eight-year old possessed and this 64 year old possesses.

Detailing

This is something for people who plan a lot. Learning from a meticulous planner that Mr. Modi is, you should care to have a love for detailing. For reaching out to the Indian population, Modi travelled more than 3.5 lakhs Kms and did 400 rallies, even to places where no one usually goes. This micro detailing helps a lot in efficient planning, leading to better results.

Love For Technology

The man is tech-savvy and likes to keep himself up to date with all the developments in the field. He tweets and posts important details of his life and journey within minutes of it happening. While we can learn from this, we should also know the clear difference there is between love for technology and being a slave for it.

Love For Fitness

Modi is a big yoga enthusiast and never forgets to do it, no matter how busy he is. Perhaps, this is the reason why he is this active at this age. This is also something that we can and should learn from him.

Enthusiasm

Even at the age of 64, the enthusiasm with which Narendra Modi lives his life is commendable. Be it playing drums on his recent visit to Japan or answering questions of various Indian students on Teacher's Day, he has never left his enthusiastic persona.

Patience

After full proof planning, which leads to his confidence, he is not a man who can be impatient and jump on to conclusions or be restless for results. This patience and the tendency of keeping his calm and not behaving like a kid has proved to be very useful for him. It's a hard sight to see the man angry, overpowered by emotions, or losing his patience. This is something which if learned can prove to be a changing point in our lives.

Leadership Skills

If you remember well, he promised to work one hour more than his subordinates did in a public speech. This is not something an inefficient leader would be able to say. He is an efficient leader and leads by his words; learning this skill from him can be beneficial for our professional lives.

Humbleness

Even though he is the Prime Minister of world's largest democracy, his position has not gone to his head. He comes across as a very humble human being and this is evident by the way he addresses the nation and answers all the questions he is put across. Being humble can take you places and this is also something to learn from him.

Microsoft to give away Windows 10 as free upgrade, unveils hologram glasses

Microsoft has taken the wraps off a new version of Windows and a new wearable 3D gadget it calls the HoloLens. 

The company showed the new headset, which lets users view and interact with three-dimensional images, at an event where it also revealed new features coming to the company's flagship operating software. 

Executives said Windows 10 is designed to embrace the way people use computers today, offering a familiar experience as they switch back and forth from personal computers to tablets, smartphones and other gadgets such as gaming consoles or even holographic projectors. 

While it's designed to let apps work in similar fashion on all those devices, Windows 10 will also come with a new Web browser that will be closely integrated with Cortana, the company's voice-activated answer to Siri. 

Microsoft is expanding Cortana to serve as a search engine and personal assistant, capable of answering questions and responding to commands such as "Play music" on desktop and laptop computers, as well as mobile devices.

And in a break from past practice, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will be released later this year as a free upgrade for anyone owning a computer or gadget that's currently running Windows 8.1 or 7, the two previous versions of the software. 

Microsoft is making a big bet that Windows 10 will help it regain ground the company has lost to the mobile computing boom. 

Windows has long been the dominating operating software for desktop and laptop computers, but that business has suffered as more people have begun using smartphones and tablets. 

Microsoft tried to reach those users by emphasizing touch-screen features in its last update, Windows 8, but many traditional PC users found it jarring and difficult to navigate. 

Hoping to win back a larger audience, Microsoft is promising Windows 10 will provide a familiar experience to users on across devices, and a common platform for software developers to create apps that work on all of them. 

"Windows 10 is built for a world in which there are going to be more devices on the planet than people," CEO Satya Nadella told reporters and industry analysts at Microsoft's headquarters. 

He said Microsoft wants to "enable that seamless cross-over, across devices as you move around at home and at work."

News: Now Access Whatsapp via your Desktop (Official) : 

It seems the day many people have been waiting for is finally here – WhatsApp is now available on your desktop, but only if you’re an Android, Windows Phone or BlackBerry users.

The new Web client is actually a simple mirror from the WhatsApp app on your phone, so in order to use it, you’ll need to have an active connection on your phone, not just your computer.

To start, you’ll need to scan a QR code and have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your phone. You’ll also need to be using the Chrome browser on the desktop.

WhatsApp founder Jan Koum said that due to “Apple platform limitations”, there’s no iOS version on the way for now.

 

 

To connect web browser to the WhatsApp client, simply open https://web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser (Chrome only supports this) . One will see a QR code. Simply scan the code inside of WhatsApp, and the user is ready to go. Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet for the web client to work. For thisthe latest version of WhatsApp must be installed on your phone. Unfortunately for now, the feature is not available for iOS users due to Apple platform limitations.

With more than 600 million users, WhatsApp is one of the largest chat clients in the world, and the app's growth has fueled rumors concerning the company's next move.

India Post to focus on e-commerce

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, January 22, 2015

The Department of Posts has set its eyes on joining the e-commerce bandwagon, with an e-commerce portal of its own in the pipeline.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, John Samuel, member, Postal Services Board, said the department had signed agreements with major e-commerce sites such as Flipkart, Amazon, and Snapdeal for e-commerce consignments across the country. The department’s own e-commerce portal would be launched shortly, through which products from local communities could be marketed through the post office network. Agreements were being signed with the Cashew Board and the Spices Board to sell their products via the postal network as well, Mr. Samuel said.

The department, he said, was eyeing a 20 per cent jump in revenue through the foray into e-commerce.

Infrastructure for this initiative, apart from the network of 1.55 lakh post offices across the country, was being set up with e-commerce portal warehousing centres, parcel picking centres, parcel processing centres, and transport systems.

An investment of Rs.4,909 crore was being made during the current Five Year Plan for the India Post IT project, which would see computerisation and networking of all the 1.55 lakh post offices.

Special focus was being given to Core Banking Solutions for Post Office Savings Bank operations.

The Karunagapally head post office went live on the core banking system on Wednesday, while the Thiruvananthapuram GPO, Thiruvalla, Mavelikara, and Perumbavoor head post offices would start functioning on the core banking platform on January 27.

The department has signed agreements with Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal for e-commerce consignments.
