Thought for the Day

“We live in a wonderful world
that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.
There is no end to the adventures that we can have
if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
          
                                                                – Jawaharlal Nehru.




*Jawaharlal Nehru


Born:      14 November 1889 Allahabad, United Provinces, British India
Died:      27 May 1964 (Age 74) New Delhi, India

               An Indian statesman who was the first and longest-serving Prime Minister of India, from 1947 until 1964. One of the leading figures in the Indian independence movement, Nehru was elected by the Indian National Congress to assume office as independent India’s first Prime Minister, and re-elected when the Congress Party won India’s first general election in 1952. As one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement, he was also an important figure in the international politics of the post-war era.

Interview OK but not selected

Not getting selected there may be some reasons. The reasons may be,
  *Poor communications skills,
  *Lack of adequate knowledge required for the position in that company,
  *Changing jobs too frequently,
  *Criticising previous employers,
  *Not able to produce genuine documents as required by the HE Department of the present company conducting the interview
    The main reason can be ‘not suitable’ or ‘insufficient experience’ is noticed during CV scrutiny stage and the candidates may not be sent an interview call.
For a professional facing interview rejection is tough as he/she usually expects a positive outcome from an interview.
Interview rejection is often a hard fact of life. Most of us have faced it at some point in our lives. Facing it is an ordeal as we are usually hopeful after an interview and then the dreaded NO disappoints us. But this is not entirely a lost cause. Everything is fine and not falling under the above mentioned category then there can be a problem at the employer’s end. Therefore interview rejection can in fact be a good inspiration for you to succeed in life and get a better job than the rejected ones.
Facing rejection often helps you to rework on your interview skills and make improvements as a professional. The candidate must know and be convinced that he / she is not the only applicant particularly if it is the preliminary round. That will help the candidate to be less worried about the outcome of an interview.
      
        Here are a few things to keep in mind when the hour comes. Never doubt about yourself.
Taking rejection in one’s stride is not everybody’s cup of tea. However, this is the single most distinguishing factor between the go-getters and the losers. To get disheartened after rejection is indeed natural. But what is important is to move on. The essential technique is never doubt yourself. Re-evaluate your strengths and weakness and take this failure as a stepping up towards future success. Always remember your skills are your assets and a rejection from an employer cannot dismiss them.
  Recognize your weakness from the performance during the interview. You need to confront the rejection and own it. Once you recognize your weaknesses and shortcomings you will then be able to positively address any gaps or weak points in your knowledge experience, skills and techniques.
Although it is easier said than done, you need to deal with rejection and move on as quickly as possible. Give yourself a day. Once you’ve calmed down and regained your confidence, it is then time to look back and improve.
Always take the opportunity to gather feedback and gauge whether there are areas that you can improve upon. Learn from the mistakes, correct them and look forward. If you know you were nervous and may not have answered questions, well, then you know you can work on it in the future.
Accept that it may not have been anything personal. You may not have as much experience as another candidate or you may not have the requisite qualifications. On the other hand you could also have been too highly qualified and the interviewer felt   that you wouldn’t have stayed in the job for long. Remember, failure is a necessary step on the path to success.
Take rejections as an opportunity. Always remember the job you missed is not the last job on Earth. With so many fields and job profiles making themselves available every year, job opportunities are waiting in the wings. You just need to be on the lookout for newer ways or jobs in life.

   Find a creative way of releasing your frustration. Go to the gym or engage in a hobby like painting or dancing to dissolve the frustration of a rejection. Not only will you feel better you might also come up with newer ideas of self-expression.
Move on with optimism and do not brood and get stuck with the rejection, discuss it with family friends or whoever you are comfortable with. Vent   out your feelings. Look ahead with a positive attitude and be self-confident. Do not leave rejection just like that, it’s part of job search. Keep looking out for new opportunities and never give up. If you feel depressed for a long time, then take professional help. Successful job hunters use rejection as a tool to push further and drive them towards success, so look ahead with optimism. In the next interview learning from the previous job rejection perform well and avoid disappointment.

Voice of Love

A 'Take Diversion' signboard cannot stop the journey. When you look beyond, ends become bends. Potholes and speed breakers can slow down the journey, but do not have the power to stop the journey. The bullet that has left the gun must now hit the target. It cannot return to the gun. Journey begun must be journey completed. Project taken must be project accomplished. Purpose identified must be purpose served. Failure isn't an option. Retreat isn't a possibility. Keep going. Keep on going.

   The world can stop you only temporarily. The only one who can stop you permanently is yourself. Stop not. Temporary setbacks should never alter permanent focus. You may trip. You may even fall. But, you will not stay fallen. Let life put you down seven times. You will, and you must rise eight times. Getting up one more time is what resilience is all about. Keep going. Keep on going.

    You are just one evening away from greatness. You may not know which evening, but your time will come. All those who laughed at you will look up to you one day. All those who didn't accept you will admire you one day. Don't be bothered about what the world thinks of you. It is not their opinion that counts. It is your opinion of yourself that really counts. In the end, what really matters is what you think of yourself. Even if nobody believes in you, if you believe in yourself, then the destination is yours. Keep going. Keep on going. 

  Every failure, every setback, every defeat are mere temporary finishing lines. Life holds her bounties beyond the imaginary finishing line. For a resolute soul, there are no finishing lines. Go beyond the finishing line. Need be paths may be changed, processes will be altered, but not the goal. If you must detour, you will. But you will not give up. You will not give in. A place for you, out there at the top, is already reserved with your name written on it. No mortal forces, self-created or inherited from outside, is going to stop you from reaching there. Persist. Persevere. Prod on. Push yourself. Pull yourself. Keep going. Keep on going.

   It is not the end till you accept it to be the end. Do not let others to define the end. You define the end. You will define the end on your terms. It is over only when you believe it is over. Even if life hands you over a period (.), you make a comma (,) out of it and continue the script. The question isn't, “Will you reach?” The question is only, “By when will you reach?” Sooner or later is the only question. Keep going. Keep on going.

Let the script of your life be titled, “Here is a man, whom, even God never tried to stop.”

Be unstoppable. Keep going. Keep on going.

                                                     

Loving you,

Kalam launches language translation software

   A system that facilitates translation of languages on the internet was launched by former President APJ   Abdul Kalam.

The Machine translation (MT) system developed by 17 institutions including the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) was released at the 20th International World Wide Web conference.

According to Rajeev Sangal, Director, IIIT Hyderabad, the MT System was based on the computational paninian grammar (CPG), which works very well for free word order languages, and Indian languages in particular.

He said the tools are available in three modules - Sampark (Indian to Indian), AnglaMT (English to Bengali, Malayalam, Punjabi and Urdu) and Anvadaksh (English to Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Oriya, Urdu and Tamil)

" India has more than 122 languages of which 22 are designated as official languages. More than a Billion people worldwide speak the following Indian languages - Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil and Urdu. With the availability of e-content and development of language technology, it has become possible to overcome the language barrier," Sangal told after the system was formally launched.

He said three consortia comprising 17 academic and research institutions were involved in building 26 different pairs of languages.

"Right now, 12 pairs are available and the plan is to release more pairs every three-four months," he said.

"Rs 13 Crore went into the whole exercise and about 200 students were directly involved in the development of these tools. An additional 200 students worked on the project as a thesis and their algorithms were embedded into the systems directly," Sangal said.
