			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: arial;">It isn&#8217;t difficult to spark a heated discussion between project managers, particularly when the subject under discussion is the level of technical specialization required to do our job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">A project manager needs to be recognized by his team as having a high level of expertise in at least one area. It doesn&#8217;t really matter whether that expertise is directly relevant to the current project, so long as the manager can demonstrate ability and within some specialized subject. I knew a much respected IT project director who had never cut a line of code but who had an encyclopedic knowledge of the underlying issues, absorbed over years of working with some highly adept programmers. Another individual was a former psychology student who had an almost scary gift for &#8220;reading&#8221; what people on her team were thinking.</p>
<p>For example, I know a lot about image processing algorithm design. I also have some experience in the development of effective user interfaces and a couple of other unrelated subsets of graphics specialization. My knowledge of the latest developments in Java 1.4 or of the minutiae of many of the C++ class libraries is decidedly scant. This shortcoming is not such an important drawback as some people might imagine because my team members are happy that I&#8217;m at least capable of undertaking technical work in some narrow specialties. This acceptance gives me the status of `associate techie&#8217; but without challenging anyone else&#8217;s hard-won specialist knowledge. I&#8217;m honest about my technical strengths and weaknesses, and I&#8217;m not trying to pull the wool over anyone&#8217;s eyes. In these days of extreme technical specialization, it&#8217;s important to accept that no one person knows everything anyway—even within a particular technical niche.</p>
<p><strong>Why you should admit your weaknesses</strong><br />
The upside of publicly declaring my technical limitations is that I get to leverage my weaknesses. You may wonder how that could be possible.</p>
<p>People expect me to deliver value to the project in ways that are qualitatively different from how they do. In my case, it is in reporting, checking the fine detail, coordinating their work, injecting a measure of fun/challenge, maintaining a `heads-up&#8217; view…tasks that, in my experience, developers really don&#8217;t relish.</p>
<p>When I ask for help in understanding some technological subtlety that underpins a project management decision, the experts on my team know that I trust them to explain things. They very much like being questioned as this gives them a special status, allows them to demonstrate their knowledge, and provides them with a way to contribute to the project in a novel way. They also begin to learn about where my technical understanding is weak, and this helps them to be aware of, and highlight, any issues of significance that I might not spot at first sight.</p>
<p>Having technical limitations means that I can usually diffuse any competition or egotism that may crop up between my team members and me. I can defer to other people&#8217;s technical expertise without losing any respect…but they know that they must then back their viewpoint by delivering according to my planning requirements.</p>
<p>So how do I deal with the situation when there&#8217;s a difference of technical opinion between individuals on the team? I listen closely to the different arguments, which I encourage my experts to outline in a short team meeting. If there is no compromise approach that seems feasible, I acknowledge that I understand the implications of the decision and tell everyone when it will be made. I&#8217;ll ask the team to trust me and to back me up, even if I choose an option with which they disagree. Finally, I take responsibility for the consequences, so that no one is left carrying the can for something that was flagged as a potential problem.</p>
<p>One particularly interesting advantage of having restricted knowledge is that I get to learn a lot of new stuff—at the right level of detail (i.e., I can see and steer a path through the &#8220;woods&#8221; without having to become an expert in the individual &#8220;trees&#8221;). Another related benefit is that I&#8217;m not even tempted to have code built based on the latest features of the latest release. I won&#8217;t allow experimentation to get in the way of project elements on the critical path and the process of creating deliverables.</p>
<p><strong>Stupid questions that aren&#8217;t so stupid</strong><br />
Perhaps the biggest benefit to having clearly limited technical knowledge is that I&#8217;m free to ask seemingly stupid questions. This freedom is one of the most useful tools in managing software development (some would argue that it&#8217;s central to all forms of management). Some examples of &#8220;stupid&#8221; questions worth asking are:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· Why are we still using this tool? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· Can you remind me why we decided on this approach? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· How much does this procedure actually cost us? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· Can anyone explain this problem to me in simple terms? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· Who&#8217;s our best person at dealing with this kind of problem? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· What does that acronym actually stand for? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· If you were in my shoes, what would you do? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">· Why is your idea better than the way we usually do things?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Don&#8217;t be afraid to look at established tasks, procedures and &#8220;received wisdom&#8221; completely afresh. You can inject a lot of fun by asking `stupid&#8217; questions. You know you&#8217;re on exactly the right track when someone says, &#8220;I really don&#8217;t know. I never thought of that. Good question. I&#8217;ll find out&#8221;.</p>
<p>You need to be very careful in extending this approach to the customer or to senior management within your organization. Not surprisingly, someone who is paying large amounts of money for your services will not take kindly to being given a demonstration of your apparent lack of knowledge. If you genuinely need to understand a specialized issue, it&#8217;s always a good idea to preface your questions with, &#8220;I&#8217;m no expert in your business, so excuse me if this question seems naïve.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rather than pretend to be an all-encompassing technical expert, learn to turn your limited technical expertise to your advantage. The trick for effective project management is to really listen to the answers—and never ask the same &#8220;dumb&#8221; question twice.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A student asks a teacher, &#8220;What is love?&#8221;</p>
<p>The teacher said, &#8220;in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.&#8221;</p>
<p>The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders&#8230;.may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one&#8230; but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.</p>
<p>Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.</p>
<p>So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand. The teacher told him, &#8220;This is love&#8230; you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already miss the person&#8230;.&#8221;*</p>
<p>&#8220;What is marriage then?&#8221; The student asked.</p>
<p>The teacher said, &#8220;in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. Butthe rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.&#8221;</p>
<p>The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.</p>
<p>The teacher told him, &#8220;this time you bring back a corn&#8230;. you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get&#8230; this is marriage.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is cruel, mean, wonderful, painful, short, too long for some, not enough for others, a blessing, a curse, a joke, a fleeting moment, a terrifying experience, the most joyous gift ever, a beautiful suuny day with your best friend or spouse, a day filled with laughter, a moment spent in anger. A night filled with tears.<br />
Life is for some, punishment, a nightmare that they can&#8217;t wake up from. For others it is something that they take for granted and are all too willing to let go of. For some it is the end of a long journey, one in which they are weary from and wish to take leave of. Life is supposed to be what we make of it, but for those who have tried to make it better and it hasn&#8217;t seemed to work, keep going. For those who have made it work, look back and help someone else: it will certainly make yours that much better. For those who have had a life taken away from a loved one, take heart, at least they were here to bring joy, even if it was just a small amount. For those that have had the freedom to lie life as freely as others taken away; find a way to rejoice and know that you are still thought about. For those who willingly gave their freedom away, you&#8217;ve made your choice so you have to live with it. Life is being able to look at yourself and laugh. To hug yourself when no one else will and to be able to open your arms to others. Life is a all the things I said, every day of our lives and we must be able to be flexible and adjustable. Live, love and laugh every day like it&#8217;s your last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day a farmer&#8217;s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn&#8217;t worth it to retrieve the donkey.<br />
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone&#8217;s amazement he quieted down.<br />
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.<br />
As the farmer&#8217;s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!<br />
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.<br />
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:<br />
1. Free your heart from hatred &#8211; Forgive.<br />
2. Free your mind from worries &#8211; Most never happen.<br />
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.<br />
4. Give more.<br />
5. Expect less.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend of mine was walking down a deserted beach at sunset. As he<br />
walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew<br />
nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking<br />
something up and throwing it out into the water.</p>
<p>Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean. As my friend<br />
approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish<br />
that had washed up on the beach, and, one at a time, he was throwing<br />
them back into the water. My friend was puzzled. He approached the man<br />
and said. &#8220;Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it&#8217;s low tide<br />
right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore.<br />
If I don&#8217;t throw them back into the sea, they&#8217;ll die up here from lack<br />
of oxygen.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I understand,&#8221; my friend replied, &#8220;but there must be thousands of<br />
starfish on this beach. You can&#8217;t possibly get to all of them. There are<br />
simply too many. And don&#8217;t you realize this is probably happening on<br />
hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can&#8217;t you see that you<br />
can&#8217;t possibly make a difference?&#8221;</p>
<p>The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish,<br />
and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, &#8220;Made a difference to<br />
that one!&#8221;There are millions of little things we can do, without taking<br />
much effort, to make this world a better place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One Night 4 College Students Were Playing Till Late Night and Didn&#8217;t<br />
Study For The Test Which Was Scheduled For The Next Day.</p>
<p>In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as<br />
dirty and weird with grease and dirt. They then went up to the Dean and<br />
said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return<br />
the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way<br />
back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.</p>
<p>So the Dean said they can have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked<br />
him and said they will be ready by that time.<br />
On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as<br />
this was a Special Condition Test, All four were required to sit in<br />
separate classrooms for the test.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telling the truth is a very good habit. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble! Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.<br />
Once a man came to the prophet Muhammad (S) and said, &#8220;Oh prophet of Allah, I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?&#8221; The prophet said, &#8220;Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth.&#8221; The man promised to do so and went home.<br />
At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with the prophet. &#8220;If tomorrow the prophet asks me where have I been, what shall I say? Shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will start hating me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing.&#8221;</p>
<p>So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit.<br />
Next day, he felt like drinking wine, when he was about to do so, he said to himself, &#8220;What shall I say to the prophet if he asks me what did I do during the day? I cannot tell a lie, and if I speak the truth people will hate me.&#8221; And so he gave up the idea of drinking wine.<br />
In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all times. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits and became a good Muslim and a very good person.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1099" title="heaven" src="http://www.thefamilyfun.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/heaven.jpg" alt="heaven" width="300" height="276" /></p>
<p>I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.</p>
<p>My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, &#8220;This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.&#8221;</p>
<p>I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.</p>
<p>Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.</p>
<p>The angel then said to me, &#8220;This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.&#8221;</p>
<p>I noticed again how busy it was there.</p>
<p>There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.</p>
<p>Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was<br />
seated there, idly doing nothing. &#8220;This is the Acknowledgment Section,&#8221; my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed &#8220;How is it that? There&#8217;s no work going on here?&#8221; I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;So sad,&#8221; the angel sighed. &#8220;After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back<br />
acknowledgments.</p>
<p>&#8220;How does one acknowledge God&#8217;s blessings?&#8221; I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Simple,&#8221; the angel answered.<br />
&#8220;Just say, &#8220;Thank you, God.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What blessings should they acknowledge?&#8221; I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.” If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world&#8217;s wealthy.</p>
<p>&#8220;And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Also&#8230;..</p>
<p>&#8220;If you woke up this morning with more health than illness &#8230;. you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation &#8230; you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you can attend a prayer meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;If your parents are still alive and still married &#8230; you are very rare.</p>
<p>If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you&#8217;re unique to all those in doubt and despair.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ok, what now? How can I start?</p>
<p>If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.</p>
<p>Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.</p>
<p>Attn: Acknowledgment Dept:</p>
<p>Thank You God! Thank you God, for giving me the ability to share this blog and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Husband:</p>
<p>I&#8217;m writing you this letter to tell you that I&#8217;m leaving you for good.<br />
I&#8217;ve been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to<br />
show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to<br />
tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw.<br />
Last week, you came home and didn&#8217;t notice that I had gotten my hair<br />
and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new<br />
negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to<br />
sleep after watching the game. You don&#8217;t tell me you love me anymore,<br />
you don&#8217;t touch me or anything. Either you&#8217;re cheating or you don&#8217;t<br />
love me anymore, whatever the case is, I&#8217;m gone.</p>
<p>P.S.  If you&#8217;re trying to find me, don&#8217;t. Your BROTHER and I are<br />
moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!<br />
Your Ex-wife</p>
<p>Dear Ex-wife:</p>
<p>Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It&#8217;s true that<br />
you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a<br />
far cry from what you&#8217;ve been. I watch sports so much to try to drown<br />
out your constant nagging. Too bad that doesn&#8217;t work. I did notice when<br />
you cut off all of your hair last week, the first thing that came to mind<br />
was &#8220;You look just like a man!&#8221; My mother raised me to not say anything<br />
if you can&#8217;t say anything nice. When you cooked my favorite meal, you must<br />
have gotten me confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork<br />
seven years ago. I went to sleep on you when you had on that new negligee<br />
because the price tag was still on it. I prayed that it was a coincidence<br />
that my brother had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and<br />
your negligee was $49.99. After all of this, I still loved you and felt<br />
that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto<br />
for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to<br />
Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a<br />
reason I guess. I hope you have the filling life you always wanted. My<br />
lawyer said with your letter that you wrote, you won&#8217;t get a dime from me.<br />
So take care.</p>
<p>P.S.  I don&#8217;t know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother was born<br />
Carla. I hope that&#8217;s not a problem.</p>
<p>Signed,<br />
Rich As Hell and Free!</p>
