We have officially graduated!!

i matured at the ripe age of 16
before that selfless and selfcentred
shun myself from you for pride and fear of riducule
locked myself in this home you provided for me without giving thanks
still you continued to love me, like only a mother can

17 onwards, a new beginning
promised myself that i'd come up in life and be somebody
just like you always wanted me to be
you never once asked me to be a doctor, lawyer, businessman or politician
respected all my decisions, though with a shed of concern

i did all this to make you proud
to see that smile on your face when i tell you my results
to hear that you are proud of me and to continue doing well
on the 28th of may i want to see that smile again when i receive my diploma
so if you wont be able to be there, i see no point of me being there either

i'm kinda through reading the 'freakonomics' book
done with the main part, reading the bonus material part
if you're like me, not into the storybook type
dig smth that keeps your mind thinking (not talking about sodoku books here)
and gives you a different perspective of situations going on in the world
then this is the book man
go to the book shop and look for book
flip thru it and check it out
and if you realise that you dun really like it
then guess what
you're not really like me after all

been thinking of my future lately
(i'm sure that ppl are going "oh man, not again")
more like thinking of ways to be successful in the future
so here is my latest idea
(warning: it gets a little boring after this, so venture at your own risk)

imagine doing business with virtually no physical contact with your clients
lets say i set up a programming company
my main mean of sales would be my own website, which offers packages for companies to choose from
examples would be:

• Package A = Website
• Package B = Website + Server
• Package C = Website + Server + Firewall
• Package D = Website + Server + Firewall + UPS
• Package E = Website + Server + Firewall + UPS + Lease Lines

obviously the prices would go up according to how many peripherals there are in a package

lets say a company has choosen a package, we will then have to get into contact with them to discuss how things are to be done according to how they like it right

first of all think of how over telecommunication industry has evoled in the last 5 years

we didnt have video calls, video streaming, VOIP (not really under telco but whatever)

now think of how its going to evolve in the next 5 years

imagine contacting your clients through VOIP, conference calling, video conferencing (http://www.ojophone.com/products/ojophone) and of cos the ever trustable (most of the time) Email

we can use Email, VOIP and conference calling for basic communications, and video conferencing for presentations and such

physical meetings can be replaced and thus time may be saved for better results in the project (think travel time, as vendors usually go down to the clients' office for meetings)

clients may preview the websites thru online portals that allow you to run sets of codes and preview them

of cos there are many many details to be sort out, and taking away the physical interaction between the vendor and the client does post some serious setbacks

but wouldn't it be great taking advantage of the technology that is right in front of us

think about it, business 5 years from now..

people always say that you will feel like studying once you start working
for me, that is true to a certain extent
i do feel like studying instead of working
but i wana study what i feel like studying instead of a set of modules that a school sets for me
just a thought
