Time and productivity

Welcome everyone!

Have you ever wonder that 24 hours isn't enough for the intellectuals?
- most of us do...

The fact is, 24 hours is fixed amount of hours me and you have for one day, no matter what you are, an eagle or a salmon.

We can only every work so much in that 24 hours that sometimes ( most of the time) it wouldn't be enough.

The only way for better productivity is better efficiency, and for this we do need to speed things up a little bit.

Efficiency is the key to productivity, achieving targets and goals are within reach for anyone with the capable minds, but the critical element is speed. 

We can spend years building a house, but that would be crazy. We could even spend months writing an essay of just a 100 words...but that would be just pushing your luck with your teacher.

As we get more occupied with things like MyFace or Bebo, we're having less productive time, unless we kill all of that nonsense off, which wouldn't really happen, we need speeeeedd!!!

And when it comes to productivity, the Germans are one of the best. They are the experts in speed and productivity, and part of this comes down to the fact that they're fast..i mean really fast!

Most country would normally limit their motorway speed limits because of the idea that speed kills. Not ze germans. They don't really understand the idea of speed limits. Speed in excess of 200 miles an hour is a thing for the 4 wheels.

Because they understand the importance of doing something with the least time, they implement the unlimited speed system.

Think of it, how good would it be...

You could rush to work at 200 miles an hour, get to your clients, meetings whatever at the same speed. And with the extra time you saved up...you could spend more time with your kids, your wife, and your dog..

Thats the key really , because of the speed, they could do more in a day....
-students can learn more
-factories could have higher outputs..
-families could spend more time together reducing the chance of a failed marriage
-kids would spend less time sniffing glue or skate boarding with the gangsters

This is why germany is home to many important things today. Cars, tanks, guns, contact lenses, medicines, musically speaking beethoven and scorpions and also heidi klum.

boffin's past time

Most scientist or boffins or eggheads, whichever you would like to refer them to, spends a great deal of time in doing researches. Some of the findings were really beneficial, others were just findings which doesn't make any significance to anyone's life.

Researching has been one of the most exclusive membership for the very smart and bright individuals. It is a generally not an average person's job this is..

Doing research isn't just a great way to acquire a specific greatness to a particular interest, I however think that researching is just the best way in getting the title Dr in front of your name. Not unless you're rich and plans to buy one. Which is in the same way as buying a wife..no one, not even yourself would feel happy about it.

When a research is completed, normally that individual will get the title Dr. 

more people = more research = more greatness to the living world

or is it?

You see, scientist today could do research of just any thing, really...it is a smogasbord of topics to be selected.

While some of them might think its a great idea to deal with some unanswered question, generally scientist today aren't doing quite well....

Have you ever reach for a copy of newspaper or magazine only to realize that some scientist somewhere over the world has come out with some very exciting findings?

In my case, the usual would be
 '' scientist discovers that going to the toilet every hour could increase mental awareness"

or

" scientist have found out that having a longer pinky finger will land you a wealthy job"

or even

'' scientist have found out that dogs can fly"

Its all great stuff isn't it....while they boffins are busying themselves with questions which no one has ever asked...

It is only reasonable to say that they are not doing good...

In the 70's the rocket scientist did the impossible by sending a man to the space and also created the almighty concorde supersonic airplane...

The best thing a scientist can do is by making the next supersonic airplane or time machine.

That is the best way to move mankind further...

the E thing i don't need

hello!

Ever since i've had a go on using the internet, i've learned tons of stuff. Although it must be said though, it is not just one thing, from getting cheats for video games to finding out how to heal my pet goldfish. The internet is literally inundated with information you need. Or are they?

You see, not too long ago, most educated people don't read computer-related degree. Ever since some movies about computer nerds having change the colour of the traffic lights, suddenly, everyone wanted to be part of the fun. So they went on to have go at computer degrees. Then, the really uninteresting people would end up with some programming while the other would probably computer-business courses. After a couple of months, they'll soon graduate and flood the meeting rooms with wonderful ideas for their boss.

One of the idea was to spam people's email, including a 14 year young boy from Subang (at the time).

When i was 12, i was quite anxious to check my email everyday to check if anyone has sent me an email, possibly from someone i would want to chat about 12-year-old stuff. Obviously, it all went very well, i get nothing. 

After a while, i start getting other sort of emails, but it was literally meaningless for a 12 year old boy. Well, after 9 years of getting emails, I'm still getting the same email.

All i ever get for the last decade;

-Do you want a bigger penis?
-A friend has entered your email for an adult friend finder    website
-Do you want any viagra.

These are the sort of emails i get everyday now. Anti spam are great...but how great if it could block viagra ad's and penis enlargement ad's..I'd subcribe to that...

Since i don't have any of that technology...my inbox is still flooded, tsunami scale, with spam emails..as i am writing this article now, about another 20 emails are already in my inbox!

low cost airlines are not for the middle class

many years ago, rockstars and hollywood A list stars were the elite group which could afford a flying journey, they were screaming through cities with their concordes while everyone else were still on foot from new york to LA....great, if you could afford one, the ticket price alone, its about a price of a good small car...

thinking this might not be the best idea to travel, the 747 jumbo jets came along to carry 400 or so people on board with the aim of reducing the cost of flying, bringing jet travel to the masses...great, but there is still a thing or two about it. you see...it cost an arm and a leg to keep those jets flying due to safety standards set by the government. these are all the cost added to the price of putting a bag of peanuts up 35000 ft. brilliant. but wait

just about less than a decade ago, the idea of low cost airline came up and it spread throughout the world like a stray dog with chlamydia..just about everywhere you see, there is always a low cost airline operating around your nose. this sounds brilliant, cheap flights, everyone could afford it. great.

but then, this whole idea soon becomes a flying bus, when you open the tray tables, you'll often spot a peanut ( if its clean) if you're unlucky, you might find some used toilet papers sticking to it. that sounds a little nasty, added to their highly un-delayed-able-time-schedule , the worst thing about low cost flying is the price. you see..the price alone for the flight isn't that expensive,in fact it is much cheaper than a taxi for 30 minutes...but soon you'll discover that the real price will burn a blackhole on your wallet..

to start off...the price which you have paid doesn't include check ins. to check yourself in at the airport...you have to pay...and to check in your bags..you'll have to pay too...and if you want them back...you'll have to pay another fee...fine..i know it cost some amount of money to run the workforce...

once you've decided on how many bags that you'll want to check in..you'll soon stumble across the paying fees...to buy the flight tickets with the options..it will cost you this much..DO i NEED TO PAY FOR WHAT I"VE JUST BUY?? it turns out that in order to pay for the flight, i have to be charged another £8....and you have to keep in mind, you'll still need to use the stairs to get up the plane even though you've paid so much...god have mercy on us...I paid £8 just to pay something which cost £70 and can't even provide me an aerobridge...

so there you are, if we're charge for every tiny little thing that the low cost airline offers, don't we all think that we should get like refunds for every thing which are not in order?? like if it delays, refund. wheels on fire, refund. engine failure, refund. seat belts aren't working, refund...the boring promotional message, refund.

added  to all the extra cost of flying cheaply, full fare airlines are still a better option if you do wish to fly.

sore winner

i am a sore winner! i'll do anything to increase my chances of victory. it must be said though, i'm not a sore loser. a sore loser blames everything under the sun for their ungainly defeat, but me. i just like to say it was all my fault for my victory.

a friend of mine has race go karts with me a number of times. we were happily joined by other people during these few sessions. so, because of that, the gap between us was always unclear, was it a 5 second gap? or a 50 second gap? no body could tell. anyway, my point is, i'm certain i made clear victory out of them hehehe...

i was criticized for not joining the pack, and leaving them for dead almost all the time. so this left my friends very crossed about me, they would debate about if they were given a head to head rolling start, they would stand a chance to lead me? well yeah!

up to this day, no one knows who is the better driver, in the track at least...so to answer this question, i've had a one on one race with my friend....rolling start...head to head....same body weigh about roughly 80 something kilograms...

from the start, i was pulling away like a rocket compared to a snail....

up to the first corner, the gap was about 1 second....i didn't had the chance to look back because i was busying creating the gap. then after about 3 or 4 laps on to the race, the gap was almost half a lap. which makes the gap roughly about 30 seconds maybe?

obviously, my victory was not a suprise to me and my friends at all....

based on the maths....about 30 seconds gap, i would happily give this another shot...a run for his own money..i start 28 seconds after the first starter.. which i was feeling cocky hehehe...

we'll find out soon

motorway speed limit

everyday we're told that speed kills and the no.1 killer on the road is speed.

let me ask you something, malaysians are known to be friendly (not me), kind hearted ( me ), and also NOT VERY PUNCTUAL. majority of malaysian's are not punctual for any meeting, weddings, friend's wedding, doctor's appointment. the only time malaysian's are punctual is when they are about to take a flight...thats it..i know best.

the problem is our road networks aren't flowing cars fast enough. the reason is, speed kills....well thats not quite true actually. you see, 110 km/h speed limit is just about the same as it is in switzerland which is very car unfriendly. if you drive over the speed limit, you'll go to prison, thats it. 

RIGHT, switzerland is considered to have a good road safety record. let look at germany then ,which we all know is motorhead heaven, it has no speed limit. 
yet their death rates on the road is much less compared to malaysia. so what is this telling us.

besides proving that speed doesn't kill that much, it is also telling us that speed never kills. suddenly becoming stationary kills you.

we could up the speed limit in our contry's road network based on this fact. that speed doesn't kill. it wouldn't cause more death on the road....

the biggest killer on the road are incompetent driver, which bribe through their driving test, which is already simply enough.... here, we only have to take 1o hours of class before getting a license...that is why....!

150km/h speed limit?? i will like it even more!

leap year? this year?

hello everyone, thank you for your loyal support to this website. without you readers, i'm still here talking non sense and making jokes at everything...

you know, every 4 years, people of the world come together in one country to play sports, aren't like any other sports, this is a major sport. If you're a sports person....this is where you should end up in...not just by participating but winning gold medal...

what am i talking about?? well its close to the commonwealth games, but just a wee bit bigger. The olympic. i'm happy and proud to say that i was born in 1988 which is also the year which...how do i say.??? well basically...there was a big olympic games that time...

that was the past and here's the future. as you all know, this year's olympic games will be in beijing. also you know, the chinese people are obsessed with the number 8. whatever the chinese people do, number 8 is always a priority on the other hand, the number 4 is always a no no...having a party on 4th of april 2004??? no no no no...but getting divorce on the 8 of august 2008...good one...   Well here's my question...if the chinese are so obsessed with the number 8, why didn't they hosted the olympics in 8th of august 1988???? it's 8/8/88 which as you know it, is 4 eights... while this year's 8th of august is just 3 eights....anyway moving on!

i went on the olympic website to get some info on the type of sports that will be played this summer...this is so i could strike up a conversation with anyone...my findings were not really what you called astonishing but it just gave me and idea... you see, there are more sports played in the 2008 olympics compared to i dunno ...0004??  well...more and more sports will be played in the future olympics.. as you all know it.. some sports weren't on the olympics before that. such as bodybuilding, which took some serious debate to get it onto the olympics...

after looking at the points of the debate...i think we could add some sports to the olympics without too much harm... they could have like

car racing - isn't it great...you have bicycle racing..why can't we have car racing?
motorcycle racing - well if car racing is in the olympics, the motorcyclist will be jealous too huh
cooking competition - its athletic in every way...
singing competition -  imagine the viewers that will stay away from the american idol....
bazooka shooting - hey! if you allow clay pigeon shooting...why can't we have heat seeking    missle
speed eating competition - obviously that japanese guy will win
cheese burger competition - i bet no country stand a chance with the americans
beer drinking competition - no one stand a chance to the germans
pole dancing event - hey..those people recognize it as a sport...i don't know....great too
spelling bee - the english champion will spell russian words and chinese people spell english words

those were my suggestion of sport...and here are the sports which i will not suggest for olympic

cheerleading - there is a better career if you want to make people cheer. i've seen more cheerful   smiles from  petrol station attendance!
watching tv competition -  this is when you know the nation is getting fatter...this is basically saying getting fat as sports
dog hunting/eating - no way...dogs are meant to be love. sorry koreans
maths competition - well..unless you don't have any friends....join them
golf - hey come on!...one game of golf is more than 4 years! 
speed reading - i don't like fast speakers...

well..there you have it...everything in its place and in the right category
