One of my favorite readings is this website. No wonder I have come across some quality reading in this article.

Here is the excerpt I found interesting…

“Knowledge@Wharton: What are the most important qualities of a leader?

Riady: A leader needs to have a vision, because at the end of the day, the vision must drive the organization. It must drive people. And a strong vision attracts people like a magnet and gets people to make changes in the community.

But it’s not just about having a vision. [It's also about] having humility. That’s very difficult. The more successful you are, the more you face the temptation of being egoistic and full of pride. It’s also about having the heart to serve, to do things not for yourself but for others. Those are the three things: vision, humility and the ability to serve.”

I personally experienced what the author is trying to say. Unknowingly or knowingly the ego makes you look like a bad person. Humility is the best friend anybody can ever have!

I bought this book after I started blogging. Better late than never, to my surprise, I found this book very resourceful. The book has 6 parts, each having 2-4 chapters. Of all the parts, I liked 2, Part-3, Fitting In and Feeling Good and Part-5, Marketing and Promoting your blog. After reading part-3, specially chapter 9-Creating Great Content, I felt I could also learn to write good content, express myself and share thoughts and knowledge. It was inspiring for me.

Coming to the Part-5, Marketing and Promoting your blog, this is the meat of the book. It just tells you strategies on how to monetize your blog. Earn while you blog basically. Specially chapter 16- Making Mad Mad Money, you can easily pick up at least one way to monetize your blog. All in all, this is a good buy!

Here are some other valuable etiquette while you blog. Hope the content above was helpful for you. Feel free to comment/critique.

Many of us might not know who John Hughes is. I came to know about him, last weekend, when I watched the movie “The Breakfast Club”. Its one of my favorite movies. I never expected to hear about him so soon, and worst, the news of his demise. I also came to realize, he made another light-hearted funny movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. I enjoyed as much watching this movie too. He scripted/produced “Home Alone”. I still barely remember when I watched this movie in theater for the first time, as I was around 9 yrs old. He also scripted another favorite movie of mine, “Pretty in Pink”. John Hughes is one of those talented people, who created timeless classics, that are fresh and speak about universal themes. For instance, “Home Alone” is about childhood pranks and adventures, “The Breakfast Club” talks about adolescence and parent children relationships, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, about college bunk adventure, “Pretty in Pink”, about love and loss. The movie industry has lost a great talent. Many aspiring directors can learn a lot from his creations. May he rest in peace.
