• A reply on Conversation: What skills should future graduates possess ?

  Sep 27 2011: albert again you are getting me worng, i have always talked about balanced combination of hard skills + soft skills. you can check it right from the very first comment posted by me over here. if i am working in an infrastructure i need to be social, its like that i will get my eyes turn away from computer screen or would turn up to my colleagues only when i need something, things just doesnt work that way. do they? then will ever wish you birthday, congratulate you on your promotion, nopes!!! i am afraid.everything doesnt revolve aroud money, at the end of the day you just dont want to work , you want to do quality work where you could praise yourself(forget about others praising you) and always feel proud for being an integral part of organization network. would you feel good if your boss pays you very well but didnt give the kind of respect you expect. do you work in an organization, only for money? a good employee is that which considers himself to be an important and precious asset of an organization, who considers himself to be family not the solitary money considering being.

  Sep 27 2011: perfect example - Steve jobs is as amazing in giving presentations while launching new apple products as with all the incredible technical knowledge. thats why people believe in Apple because they believe in their leader. they feel connected to their leader.......

  Sep 27 2011: @Albert lp 'soft knowledge' is not the thing, it is "soft skills" and you are completely misinterpretting it, these are the skills meant to be for technical persons only - a hard core science graduate.(i am also computer science engineering graduate).
  Soft skills refer to the cluster of personality traits, social graces, facility with language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that mark people to varying degrees. Soft skills complement hard skills, which are the technical requirements to excel professionally and have a successful career ahead.”
  Soft skills fulfil an important role in shaping an individual’s personality. It is of high importance for every student to acquire adequate skills beyond academic or technical knowledge. For decades college professors as well as educators frequently complain about a lack in soft skills among students from tertiary education institution. A recent outcry in this regard came from the British Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR)“They go on to explain that candidates are normally academically proficient but lacking in soft skills such as communication as well as verbal and numerical reasoning.” (AGR, 2007) Already more than 40 years ago the German Engineering Association (VDI) recommended that 20% of courses of the educational curricula should be soft skills.
  ok ans me one thing can anyone even with the brilliant set of mind and thoughts could ever become a successful leader without being connected to the people who could actually consider him as a leader. in order to connect to the people you need to have effective communication skills, don't you? you need to convey what you think, what you mean, what you aspire, what positive change you gonna bring as a leader etc... if you wont be able to connect with the people, would they ever feel to be leaded by you? communication bridges the gap between people even in worst situations. a good leader needs to motivate, coordinate, communicate etc. alongwith technical stuff.

  Sep 27 2011: @Albert lp most of the people over here disagree with "good question" statement so i do. for me it requires a great deal of courage to ask question first, then comes the stuff whether the question is good or bad? In teacher's perspective - if student is not asking question then he is not able to understand. on understanding stuff only, question pops up in our mind out of curosity, so behind even the silly question there is always being a thought process, in order to think you need to use your mind.
  "TO FIND ANSWERS TO THE TOUGHEST QUESTIONS, WE NEED OPEN-MINDED AND CURIOUS PEOPLE WHO DARE TO ASK THEM"

  Sep 26 2011: a graduate suppose to be mature enough to ask sensible questions, i guess! well! would any sensible graduate ask about going to the toilet if he is in the middle of interview, important lecture, seminar, conference, meeting etc. the whole discussion is about mature undergraduate guys, not kindergarten students.... who keep on asking about going to toilet. we are talking about the guys who are going to stand on their own feet, going to make their career, going to be responsible n civilized civilians, thts the question dear - What skills should future graduates posses as a responsible citizen and also as a drivers of the economy ?

  Sep 23 2011: we are not talking about only BS graduates having the technical skills like programming in various languages such as c, c++, java, dotnet etc. We are talking about all the graduates as a whole, u must be programming or coding genius, i guess!!!

  Sep 23 2011: agree!!! :)

  Sep 22 2011: i agree with Steve Rosos!!! so..questions can be put without caring much about whether its a good question or a bad question, whether it would be related to positive thinking or a negative thinking.
  a good question led to the invention of air planes (positive thinking) but at the same time
  a bad question led to the discovery of parachute (negative thinking)
  sometimes BAD questions are also important......... for survival :)

• A comment on Conversation: How can I improve my reading comprehension and speed.

  Sep 20 2011: ok benjamin, i got what your problem is?
  you read a lot!!! well, thats really a good thing but you know what the problm is?
  "i read a lot" :(
  dont ever consider reading as a burden rather try to enjoy it, dont always go for comprehension check, dont always try to rate your reading, dont always justify what you read and what you get. try to give you some space where you can just enjoy what you reading, irrespective of all the vocabulary you are getting or not, all the lines in the paragraph making sense to you, well! obviously its not a mathematical equations, you can afford to loose some words in between if you find you dont know their meaning, try to grab what sense a complete sentence makes, what is being conveyed and then try to predict what could possibly be the meaning of the unknown word. try read story books for fun, dont always try to read complex stuff. try to read about things which you like the most in order to build up your enthusiasm for reading. you will gradually feel that interest pertaining to reading will automatically start generating inside you. try building up vocabulary by learning minimum five new words everyday by reading newspaper, magazines, watching news, conversating with friends. diary writing is also very good exercise where you can explain the things what you did whole day in an innovative way by using your newly build vocabulary and constant usage of those words will strengthen their place in your memory. stand in front of mirror, go for role plays or create an imaginary stituation like you are giving speech at a function or something, or you are giving presentation, giving lecture as a teacher and beahve in that way, speak.... as much as you can, use new words as much as you can...... for any querry you can always write back, you are more than welcome... Start Today :) ALL THE VERY BEST!!!

• A comment on Conversation: How do you measure passion?

  Sep 20 2011: passion is considered when you dont consider the work you are doing as a work rather you consider it as aim of your life, the stuff you love to do even you are damn tired, the thing which make you inspire to indulge into it even when you are not well, that something which makes you dedicate enough to pour your everyhting into it, which makes sense for you, your existence, the way in which you are serving society, your credibility, your integrity everything. if somebody askme would i ever left considering social benefit in any business venture which particularly aims to earn profit only, as being social entrepreneur..... i will firmly say NO!!! thats what the passion is....
