A sign to Despair

I read an interesting article about competency in IT industries. The point that it stresses upon is Knowledge Management (for self).
In every six months of time if your resume doesn't get added with new skills that's the sign to despair. That's a very valid point.

In 'The Economic Times' recently there was an ad, which grabbed my attention and I cut that ad and pasted it in my kiosk at work. Ad is...a big picture with a small caption under it. The big picture has 4 lions drigoing water out of a small pond with a small dog in the middle of them. The caption says 'If you think, you can'. It's an ad for 'The Economic Times' (it also says 'The Power of Knowledge' under it's name).

I actually started reading ET everyday for about 5 months now and a month ago added 'Business Line' with it. They are quite interesting dailies than 'The Hindu', which I thought as waste of money.

A few days back I was conversing with an upper management guy (who is three level above me) at my work and I was easily able to converse with him about someother corporate's results and the numbers. It was a good 15 mins conversation and I was so eloquent while our conversation touched different areas. hmm....'The Power of Knowledge'.

Yeah, about that ad pasted in my kiosk, a couple of days after pasting it one of my colleagues stopped by and asked me 'do you like lion? is that why you have pasted that ad?'. I wanted to tell him to go to hell. But didn't.
