Bill Gates used the computer for 10,000 hours at Harvard. The Beatles played for 10,000 hours before achieving celebrity status.   Not all practice makes perfect. You need a particular kind of practice—deliberate practice—to develop expertise.  It entails considerable, specific, and sustained efforts to do something you can’t do well—or even at all.

10,000 hours are required to develop expertise in any given area. That’s about 27 hours a week, for 7 years.

This is the idea that it takes approximately 10000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill.

This takes time, but if you take one step each day, the results you can achieve are … incredible.

Try it! LIFE is the GAME!

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO REMOVE A USB STICK SAFELY

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.” — Steve Jobs

    Steve Jobs' Convocation Speech (Stanford) 

                                          

                                       Delivered 12 June 2005, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA

Thank you.

I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest

universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the

closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want to tell you three stories

from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

     The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the

first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate

student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I

  should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted

at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the

last minute that they really wanted a girl.

So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking,

"We've got an unexpected baby boy; Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My

biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college

and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the

final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents

promised that I would go to college. This was the start in my life.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as

expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent

on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea

what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure

it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire

life.

So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay. It was pretty scary

at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute

I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and

begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends'

rooms. I returned coke bottles for the five cent deposits to buy food with, and I would

walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at

the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following

my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the

country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was

beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the

normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned

about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between

different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was

beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found

it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years

later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me

And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful

typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the "Mac"

would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since

Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.

If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class,

and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of

course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college.

But it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them

looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your

future. You have to trust in something your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever

because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the

confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the wellworn path, and

that will make all the difference.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz1 and I started Apple in my

parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown

from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4000

employees. We'd just released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I

had just turned 30.

And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as

Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company

with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the

future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board

of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out. And very publicly out. What had

been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous

generation of entrepreneurs down --that I had dropped the baton as it was being

passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for

screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running

away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I

did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but

I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing

that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced

by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to

enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT; another company

named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.

Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story,

and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of

events, Apple bought NeXT, and I retuned to Apple, and the technology we

developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I

have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It

was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometime life

sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm

convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've

got to find what you love.

And that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large

part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is

great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't

found it yet, keep looking and --don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll

know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better

as the years roll on. So keep looking don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it

was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me,

and since then, for the past 33 years, I've looked in the mirror every morning and

asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am

about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a

row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered

to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all external

expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure these things just fall away

in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are

going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something

to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning,

and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas

was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,

and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised

me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for "prepare to die."

It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10

years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned

up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day.

 Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through mystomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.  I was sedated, but my wife, who  was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors

 started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few

more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more

certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants

to die.

Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death

is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,

because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It's Life's change agent.

It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday

not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry

to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by

dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise

of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They

somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth

Catalogue, which was one of the "bibles" of my generation. It was created by a fellow

named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with

his poetic touch. This was in the late 60s, before personal computers and desktop

publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was

sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along. It was

idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words:

"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I've always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin a new, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry.

Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

As You Think, So Shall You Become - Bruce Lee

                                         trickeeg.blogspot.in/life_labs

PhotoCourtsey: drastudio

I have been sharing the success story of world's legendary martial art player Bruce Lee. If you never read about him. This is the chance to know him deeply by his success secrets. The points shared over here in this article can change your life too, if you want to change it like bruce lee said "As you think, so shall you become"...

 1) He  never finished  university.

Growing up a teenage in Hong Kong, Bruce would get into fights. After a particularly bloody one involving a trip to the police station, Bruce’s family decided to send him back to America where he was born.

In 1964, at the end of his junior year, Bruce decided to drop out of university to head the Seattle branch of his Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute, and dedicate himself to expanding his martial arts schools, joining the ranks of people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, people who never finished university and became massive successes later on in life.

Not to say that Bruce was an idiot! In fact, he had been a philosophy major before he left the University of Washington. And not to say you shouldn’t go to university either! But Bruce never let the lack of a degree stop him from achieving his heart’s desires.

 2) He  almost  never  practiced martial arts  again.

In 1970, with The Green Hornet series in which he co-starred in cancelled and finances tight, Bruce failed to warm up properly during one of his weight-training routines and severly injured his back.

The doctors told him to rest in bed, and to forget kung fu: he would never kick again.

To someone whom once said that everything he learned, he learned from martial art, this would be a devastating blow. With financial worries bearing down on him, Bruce could only lay flat on his bed for the next three months, and for another three months be confined indoors.

But even then, he refused to let this stop him. If he couldn’t work out his body, he could work out his mind. In those six months he wrote furiously, penning down his own thoughts and methods of the martial arts which he so loved.

In six months’ time, he had written eight, two-inch volumes of notes. And in all that time, with evidence to the contrary, he refused to believe that he wouldn’t heal; he was an avid believer that our thoughts create our reality.

After those six months he started working out again, moderately at first, and resumed teaching afterwards.

And even though his back would remain a source of pain throughout his entire life, you wouldn’t think it to see the man blazing faster in his movies than any able-bodied person.

3)His  greatest  achievement  came  from  a  less  than perfect  victory.

Bruce Lee’s greatest contribution to the martial arts world was his philosophy and martial system of Jeet Kune Do. But he didn’t make up this martial art from thin air.

In fact, the catalyst that gave birth to one of the most efficient martial arts in the world came from a less than efficient fight.

In the 1960s, Bruce Lee was challenged for daring to reveal the secrets of Chinese martial arts to non-Chinese. He won the fight, but found himself unusually winded afterwards, and was disturbed in thinking back that even though he could have ended it in one, the fight had taken three minutes instead.

Before that time, Bruce had been content with modifying the traditional martial art of Wing Chun. But because of that less-than-perfect experience, he pursued more sophisticated training methods and rigourously dissected the martial arts for the very best that he could find, and in time his own profound and deadly expression of the martial arts was born.

 4) He  had  his  opportunities  stolen  from  him.

Did Bruce have it easy from the get-go, especially with someone that had such astounding skills you’d think Hollywood would have been banging down his door to sign him on?

Hardly.

After the cancellation of The Green Hornet series, Bruce couldn’t find much more television work. In 1969, a movie project called The Silent Flute, which he had put in massive effort and pinned high hopes on, fell through.

With his back still hurting, and financial disaster on the horizon, his wife Linda had to work, while Bruce stayed at home to watch the kids and rest his back.

During that time, Warner Brothers contacted him with what looked like a glimmer of hope; they wanted his help to develop a TV series based on the martial arts. He was deeply involved and gave them numerous ideas…many of which were used in the ensuring TV series Kung Fu, starring not Bruce Lee, but David Carradine.

Later on, Warner Brothers admitted that despite his heavy involvement, they had never even considered him for the role.

Ironically, this was the final straw that pushed Bruce to accept an offer by a Hong Kong film producer named Raymond Chow to make the movie that would propel him into superstardom; The Big Boss.

Bruce turned setback into success, when he met Raymond for the very first time Bruce told him; ‘You just wait, I’m going to be the biggest Chinese star in the world.’

 5) He  practiced  immensly.

What do you think was the price of his eye-popping feats and unbeatable athletism? Exercising two times a week and a bottle of beer in front of the TV after?

Bruce Lee trained religiously every single day, there are training records that suggest he practised kicks…upward to a thousand times a day!

6)He was an avid  reader.

He had a vast library of books and loved scouring the bookshops for more. He not only had a appetite for books on martial arts, but he also devoured books on the personal growth writers of his day, pioneers like Napoleon Hill, Norman Vincent Peale and Clement Stone.

He believed in personal development so much so he once penned down this prophetic personal affirmation in 1969, 2 years before his first hit movie The Big Boss:

I, Bruce Lee, will be the highest paid Oriental superstar in the United States. In return, I will give the most exciting performances and render the best quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting in 1970, I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1989 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. Then I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.So What Was The Key To Bruce Lee’s Amazing Success?

At the beginning of this article, I asked you the question: what if you already had the same potential for greatness as Bruce Lee (in anything, not just martial arts) locked within you, how would you unlock it?

Who better to answer you than Bruce Lee himself?

Dedication, absolute dedication, is what keeps one ahead-a sort of indomitable obsessive dedication and the realization that there is no end or limit to this because life is simply an ever-growing process, an ever-renewing process.

Our Sincere thanks to Lifecoach for this brilliant article on motivation and life.

HOW NEXT-GEN ENTERTAINMENT IS DELIVERED BY THE NET

 

How Internet TV works? 

Ordinary television programmes today are broadcast from videotape as analog UHF radio signal that is picked up by your by your TV aerial. The system distributes the signal across whole country ,virtually simultaneously, and according to a fixed schedule. Now When you use cool Internet TV! You are the master of program view. You got all the freedom lika Video-on-Demand(VOD),Catchup TV,if u wanna call uur friends yes! You can(video telephony),gaming,and what more... eGovernanace. Cool isn't it? Now is the time to check your written articles about 'Idiot Box' in your school dayz.

B@ck to Future!!!!!!   :)

Alright` come to the point!

This technology is a system through which television services are delivered to you sir! Using Internet Protocol suite over packet switched network instead of being delivered through traditional terrestrial,satellite 0r cable TV formats.(ab no more jhingalala!!)

 

          Since Customer aka Viewer  is the KING....getting in its service  ~

	Video-On-Demand     EnjoY! Browsing videos in Your Living room  :*      Time_ShiftedTV CatchupTV(Replays TV shows),start Over again!! n more.....
[LIVE] TV           If u wanna to interact in current show Ammm...yes there is a way :)

 

 Triple Play Service :gives combined use of  Broadband ,  telephony ,TV & cellular service in full play into your hands.

Designing Internet TV with your well-known communication protocols:

 

ñ  [Live]TV uses IGMP for connecting to multi-cast streams.

                 

ñ  VoD uses UDP & Real Time Protocols for channel streams and control is done via              Real  Time Steaming Protocols(RTSP).

                   Hey! Hey! Hey! Why not using TCP/IP most popular Internet protocol rather using RTSP?

                Aha *when you send something over the internet, it split into little pieces called                        'packets'.Each packet is put in a sort of  digital envelope,using protocol called TCP/IP, (with destination address + trick how to assemble at another end).Now  these packets  travel different  routes independently and eventually arrives in one piece,BUT ,It is  terrible for streaming  video. If u gotta minor hiccup in your network, you   probably don't mind too much if one or two frames get dropped , but you  gonna kill uur TV if entire programme stops while your set top boxes requests the   missing frame to be re-sent. To get  around this ,streaming video uses Real Time  Streaming Protocols rather than TCP/IP, and buffers incoming data in its internal  memory to cover minor delays.

ñ  Video content is compressed in MPEG-4 & MPEG- transport stream delivered via IP               multicast.

 Latest Happening here `~~`            3GPP -IMS

 

                           3GPP IP Multimedia Stream

      Its an architecture for supporting IPTV services in carrier network. Carriers will be providing both voice & IPTV services on   ONE- same infrastructure combining conventional TV &telephony!

How it works?      

Programmes destined for streaming are first `digitized` :P    to a master file at the highest possible quality.(after all Quality ka hi toh swal hai bhai!) .This is compressed using algorithms(i just mentioned see ya!) that discard information that doesn't change from one frame to next , or which doesn't contribute very much to our lovable desired picture impression. Do you know Guyz! that our eyes are less sensitive to blue wavelengths of light than red ones(VibgyoR),so vDeo Steam uses fewer bits to encode blue channel than green and red.     :(  Yea! I know you are not soo free to watch                  High Definition Shows at your home..... but a programme might be compressed at several different resolutions to allow for viewing on mobile phones as well as standard and high -definition TVs.

When a video packet arrive in your living room or your device ,they are recieved by set top box. This is a device with a network connection ,processor, memory and a a graphics chip. Ever heard of AppleTV ,it runs on iOS found in iPad & iPhone. Roku uses Linux. Video stream uses DRM(Digital Right Management) to encrypt the data so that your order doesn't reaches your neighbor and he relishes your tasty content.  (&Yes! DRM is a technology that restricts your ability to transfer programmes into another edevices)  .

Top 3 Facts about Internet TV tech -More popular among youth in the west

1. Mobile Viewing

            Usage of this on mobile peaks after midnight, as teenagers sneakily watch under the covers.     There's also a peak at the weekend , on Saturday & Sunday morning.(8AM to 10AM).

2.  Do you know that! BBC iplayer uses 60 servers to encode  its programmes for iplayer. More than 400 hours of programmes are converted each week. The same iPlayer shifts more than seven petabytes of traffic each month thats seven million gigabytes ,or approx

            7,000,000,000,000,000   bytes. That's a lot of bytes !  Ooolala.............

3.  If your programme isn't available that's because it was broadcasted [Live]. It takes about an hour to process the tape.
