On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Chennai station. At once I was held back to see someone in that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was blood all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless blow by the last train could have caused the end of this body which seemed to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could see a folded white envelope which was fluttering in the midnight wind. Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the phrase "appraisal letter" on it. With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead guy. The tag around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the hint that he might be a software engineer.

I opened the envelope to find a shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors. Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when I saw the appraisal amount of the dead guy!!!!!
My God, it was not even, as much as the cost of the letter on which the appraisal details were printed.... My heart poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard inside my mind saying "no wonder, this guy died such a miserable death"... As a fellow worker in the same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake of respect and stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the shock that he would have experienced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in his hand. I am sure his heart would have stopped and eyes would have gone blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his salary.

While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's name in the appraisal letter...hey, what a strange co-incidence, this guy's name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting. With some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted for a second. The guy not only had my name, but also looked exactly like me. Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!!! While I was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who was behind......... Splash!!!

Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as, I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair patting on my shoulder saying, "Wake up man! Come to meeting room umber two. I have your appraisal letter ready".

The e-Learning Forecast - Training & Development.

The hottest e-learning trends...

How would you assess the "Quality of Talent in an organization"?

"Oh no! Not another e-learning venture!" A unanimous response to any discussion on e-learning. Most organisations try their hands at e-learning initiatives only to return to the safe haven of the known and tested traditional training. Nevertheless, with e-learning technology and practices, maturing organisations can expect greater interactivity, topic coverage and a wider range of uses.

By 2005, one of the 10 most in-demand positions among global 1000 companies will be an online learning designer and e-learning will be an accepted practice on 70 percent customer websites.

Gartner forecast business-focused e-learning to grow 16.7 percent annually worldwide from 2003 through 2008, and to more than double in size to $619.4 million in new-license revenue by 2008.

The Story of Wrigley.

Innovation Through the Years

Even in Small Things, "Quality is Important"

William Wrigley Jr. came to Chicago from Philadelphia in the spring of 1891. He was 29 years old, had $32 in his pocket and unlimited enthusiasm and energy. He also had great talent as a salesman.

His father was a soap manufacturer, and at the start of his new business in Chicago, Mr. Wrigley sold Wrigley's Scouring Soap. As an extra incentive to merchants, Mr. Wrigley offered premiums. He knew his customers would be more likely to carry Wrigley's soap if they received a little "something for nothing." One of these premiums was baking powder. When baking powder proved to be more popular than soap, he switched to the baking powder business.

Then one day in 1892, Mr. Wrigley got the idea of offering two packages of chewing gum with each can of baking powder. The offer was a big success. Once again the premium - chewing gum - seemed more promising than the product it was supposed to promote.

At that time, there were at least a dozen chewing gum companies in the United States, but the industry was relatively undeveloped. Mr. Wrigley decided that chewing gum was the product with the potential he had been looking for, so he began marketing it under his own name. His first two brands were Lotta and Vassar. Juicy Fruit gum came next in 1893, and Wrigley's Spearmint was introduced later that same year.

Getting a foothold in the chewing gum business was not easy. Several times the young company was on the verge of going under, but hard work overcame the difficulties, and the business forged ahead.

First Impression Management:

How to Handle the 30 Seconds that Set the Tone for Your Entire Interview

We all know that first impressions matter. For better or for worse, our brains are designed to make snap judgments about the people we encounter. Scientists say that this tendency probably comes from our ancient ancestors, who, without a common language to fall back on, often had to rely on their instant impressions to determine whether a stranger posed a threat.

In casual social settings, negative first impressions can be overcome if we're afforded extra time to get to know someone. But within the time constraints of a job interview, it's unlikely that you'll be able to completely reverse a hiring manager's negative first impression. That's why it's vitally important to do everything you in your power to make sure your interviewer's first sense of you is a positive one.
