MERCI !

Hi everyone !

I wanted to post a blog about the Obama's Speech in Cairo (Egypt) since it was an important event for the Muslim world, the USA and the world in general.

For those who have not had the chance to read the full text of the speech or listen to it, here are some useful links:

To read the full text of the speech, visit: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/politics/04obama.text.html

For a complete video, visit: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/full-video-of-obamas-cairo-speech/

http://www.kansascity.com/105/story/1234919.html

“Less than six months ago, Arabs threw shoes at George Bush. Today, in a address bound to go down in history, President Obama was unexpectedly greeted by a standing ovation in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world.

In a towering speech before 4,000 Egyptians in the Grand Hall of Cairo University, and to another 1.4 billion Muslims world-wide, the President was interrupted 30 times by applause and people shouting, “we love you”.

President Obama also noted Islam's historical relationship with the United States:

"I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President, John Adams, wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims."

***

"That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."

I think that if we, as citizens of the world and youth activitists, want to ensure a better future for ourselves and the future generations, we have to cooperate and to help each other in order to solve the global problems and issues that we face: climate change, poverty, HIV, ...

«When there is a will, there is a way». Let this be the credo for the 21st Century.

All the best,

After you READ this e-letter,
You will be only having good wishes for everyone, because...

I am about to tell you the
TRUE SECRET behind the law of KARMA

Now, one of the things that I cover in my Programs is
The unique qualities of The LOWER SELF (check out
my TRINITY SYSTEM) or the subconscious mind

These qualities are truly AMAZING

One very important quality of The LOWER SELF is
That it's not logical, it only understands FEELINGS
and acts on them...

It's like a LOYAL servant to you, who is AMAZINGLY good at
Bringing you anything you ask him for...

That's why The LOWER SELF is such an important part
of the manifestation process...

But,

Because this servant doesn't understand logic, it takes
your FEELINGS as an order and brings the same to YOU!

If you wish something bad for someone, your LOWER SELF will say:

"OK, is that what you want? I'll bring it to YOU"

You see friends, The LOWER SELF can't tell that you
are wishing that for someone else, because it's not logical.


It only acts on the FEELING, and makes it happen


So, Never wish anyone, I mean Aboslutely No one, anything bad or
harmful, because the LOWER SELF will manifest it for YOU...
You will only end up hurting yourself.


Now that you know How the Law of KARMA works, you can use it
to manifest great things in your life by...

Wishing great things for others...

please don't fail to leave your comment.

If you ever wondered why you should relax
for the manifestation process, you will find the answer
in this e-letter...

But, Let me start off with a question...

What do we do when something great happens?


If you said we celebrate, you guessed right...

Yes, we celebrate!

With fireworks, with music, with parades, with parties...


BUT,

There's another kind of CELEBRATION that happens very differently...

This one happens in quiet...
This one happens in stillness...
This one happens in Silence...


Yes! "MIRACLES happen in SILENCE"

Why Silence?

What's so special about SILENCE?

You see friends, as I explain in my ebook in more
detail, you need to IMPRESS your LOWER SELF
or your Subconscious mind...

But,

Our logical conscious mind (The Middle Self in my TRINITY SYSTEM)
is constantly blocking us from accessing
our LOWER SELF...

One way to shutdown the logical mind and
Access the LOWER SELF is through relaxation...

But there are other ways as well...

Khi yêu không ai muốn chia tay cả. Nhưng nếu chẳng may một ngày nào đó, anh ấy trả bạn về "hội độc thân vui vẻ" thì bạn sẽ làm gì? đây là kinh nghiệm của Diệp sau khi "được" người ấy cho hát solo sau một thời gian hát song ca với nhau. Hi vọng sẽ giúp được bạn nhanh chóng đứng dậy sau vấp ngã và nhanh chóng trở lại là chính mình.


* Bạn đang vật vã và tưởng rằng mình không thể sống thiếu anh ấy, nhưng nếu bạn biết được cảm giác thật của mình thì bạn sẽ cảm thấy đỡ hơn rất nhiều.
+ Bạn sợ cảm giác 1 mình, cảm thấy trống rỗng...=> Đó chẳng qua là vì bạn chưa quen thôi.
+ Bạn cảm thấy tức giận và bị tổn thương vì "tại sao mình đã như thế này mà anh ấy lại như thế kia?" => Đây đâu phải là 1 vụ hơn thua và đâu phải bạn là người bại trận? Chỉ là chấm dứt 1 mối quan hệ đã không còn tốt nữa thôi.
+ Bạn thấy ấm ức. Bận đang cần 1 lời xin lỗi, 1 lời giải thích hoặc ít nhất là 1 dấu hiệu nào đó chứng tỏ anh ấy cũng đang đau đớn như bạn...=> Bạn chỉ đang quá nuông chiều cái tôi của mình, thế thôi.

* Khi break-up, bạn thường có những hành động để quên EX, nhưng hãy suy nghĩ kĩ hành động nào nên hay không nên nhé.
+ TRẢ LẠI QUÀ TẶNG => không nên
Nếu không muốn nhìn thấy chúng, đơn giản là cho hết vào hộp và khoá chúng lại. Việc gì phải trả lại hay vứt đi, trừ khi nhà bạn quá chật để chứa chúng. Trả lại những món đồ chỉ chứng tỏ rằng bạn vẫn còn trẻ con và vẫn đang ăn thua cay cú mà thôi.
+ KHÓC LÓC => nên
Kể với 1 ai đó, nhắn tin hay nói chuyện với 1 ai đó...Cứ đẩy hết tất cả những cảm xúc ra ngoài. Bạn đang rất đau lòng cơ mà. Giữ rịt những cảm xúc đó lại không làm cho bạn trở nên mạnh mẽ hơn đâu, ngược lại, stress quá dễ dẫn đến bệnh trầm cảm lắm. Nên nếu có thể khóc được thì cứ khóc đi nhé.
+ ĐƯA RA GIẢ ĐỊNH NẾU ...THÌ TÌNH YÊU CÓ CÒN HAY KHÔNG => không nên.
Tất cả các giả định chỉ gây thêm sự tiếc nuối cho tình yêu cũ mà thôi.
+ NHỚ LẠI NHỮNG KỈ NIỆM ĐẸP => không nên.
Đành rằng là bạn nên giữ lại những điều tốt đẹp về nhau sau chia tay. Nhưng đó không phải là chuyện bạn nên làm lúc này. Kỉ niệm đẹp sẽ chỉ khiến bạn càng đau khổ hơn và khó mà quen được anh ấy hơn mà thôi. Bạn đang trong thời kì "bảo dưỡng lại trái tim" cơ mà, nhớ không?
+ LÀM 1 CÁI GÌ ĐẤY => nên.
Cầm máy ảnh đi cùng bạn bè, thử những quán mới, đăng kí 1 lớp học nhảy hiphop, học 1 ngoại ngữ mới, thử 1 phong cách thời trang mới, chơi game, đi làm thêm...tất cả những công việc bận rộn sẽ khiến bạn không có thời gian để mà ngồi nhớ nữa. Và tin diệp đi, đảm bảo bạn sẽ thấy mình thật là kì diêu.
+ SAY BÍ TỈ => không nên.
Sự thật là rượu chỉ khiến bạn có đủ can đảm để nói năng lảm nhảm, nhảy múa như thể đánh rơi não ở nhà, thậm chí gào khóc như điên...nhưng sáng hôm sau, khi tỉnh dậy, bạn thậm chí còn rơi vào cảm giác tồi tệ hơn trước đó nhiều.
+ ĂN, ĂN VÀ ĂN => không nên.
Khi buồn bã bạn mua về 1 đống hoa quả, bánh kẹo ăn để quên buồn. Thay vì vậy, tại sao bạn không đi xem phim hay thuê truyện về đọc nhỉ? Vì sau khi nỗi buồn của bạn tạm thời vơi đi thì thức ăn " giúp" vòng 2 của bạn tăng lên ít nhiều. Đến khi cần tự tin để có 1 ngày hẹn tiếp theo với 1 anh chàng hay ho nào đó thì bạn đã khóc ròng vì phải giảm cân cấp tốc đó.
+ TÌM 1 CÁI PHAO YÊU => rất rất không nên.
bạn không cần tìm 1 ai đó để yêu. Thật sự bạn chỉ cần 1 ai đó biết lắng nghe và chia sẻ, thế là đủ. Ngay lập tức "quơ" 1 anh chàng để làm người thay thế là 1 giải pháp vô cùng ngớ ngẩn. Trái tim của bạn lúc này chưa hẳn là sáng suốt. Con tim cũng cần có thời gian để hồi phục và tìm kiếm những mục tiêu mới. cảm giác lao vào 1 ai đó khi tim bạn đang dán băng keo chi chít chỉ làm cho 1 trái tim đang lành lặn phải vào nhà thương mà thôi. Bạn cũng đâu muốn làm 1 ai đó bị tổn thương như bạn, phải không?
+ NÓI XẤU EX => không nên.
Mặc dù trong chuyện này anh ấy cũng có phần lỗi, nhưng nói ầm lên cho cả thế giới biết thật không nên chút nào. mọi chuyện đã là quá khứ, nếu cứ tiếp tục mổ xẻ lỗi lầm của nhau như thế thì cũng không giải quyết được gì. Bạn còn nhiều việc thú vị để làm hơn là tìm cách trả đũa 1 anh chàng đã không còn yêu mình nữa mà, phải không? Và đừng nhầm lẫn chuyện chia tay với chiến thắng và thất bại. Người ta thường nhầm lẫn người chia tay trước là người chiến thắng. Bạn không phải là người thất bại. bạn chỉ để cho 1 người bước ra khỏi cuộc sống của mình mà thôi.
+ TỰ HÀNH HẠ BẢN THÂN MÌNH => không nên.
Trước những cú shock tình cảm, con người thường có khuynh hướng muốn thay đổi, phá vỡ những luật lệ và ranh giới cũ để thu hút sự chú ý, đòng thời cho mọi người thấy rằng bạn vẫn ổn, vẫn sống rất tốt. nhưng bạn đừng nên tự hành hạ bản thận mình, hay tự trách móc bản thân vì mối quan hẹ đã chết. Chuyện gì đã xảy ra thì cũng đã xảy ra rồi. Tự trách móc bản thân cũng không khiến 1 chuyện tồi tệ trở thành 1 chuyện tốt đẹp. Việc mà bạn nên làm là rút kinh nghiệm cho mối quan hệ sau, thế thôi.
+ TRỞ VỀ VỚI GIA ĐÌNH => nên
Chia tay là 1 chuyện rất đau lòng, và càng đau lòng hơn khi bạn là người bị động trong chuyện đó. Phát ngôn hay hành động gì trong lúc đau khổ cũng có thể để lại hậu quả đáng hối tiếc. hãy tạm gác tất cả mọi chuyện lại, dành thời gian cho gia đình là cách hay nhất để bạn có thể nhanh chóng lấy lại cân bằng.
+ SUY NGHĨ VỀ LỜI GIẢI THÍCH "TỰ NHIÊN HẾT YÊU" => không nên
Không có chuyện "tự nhiên" với "bỗng dưng" đâu. Thật ra đó là cả 1 quá trình, 1 con đường dài, và ngày hôm đó chỉ là ngày anh ấy thu hết can đảm để nói ra mà thôi. Vì thế không cần phải ngạc nhiên, ngơ ngác hay ngây thơ nghĩ rằng đó chỉ là nhất thời nên có thể cứu vãn. Nó là chấm hết.
+ GỌI ĐIỆN, NHẮN TIN CHO ANH ẤY => không nên.
Dừng ngay việc bạn đang làm lại. Ý Diệp là việc cứ 5 phút lại kiểm tra xem có tin nhắn hay cuộc gọi lỡ nào từ anh ấy không. và cũng dừng ngay lại việc "khủng bố" anh ấy bằng tin nhắn hay gọi điện lại. Việc bạn đang làm chỉ khiến anh ấy càng có thêm lí do để củng cố thêm cho quyết tâm chia tay bạn mà thôi.
+ "CHÚNG TA LÀ BẠN TỐT" => Bây giờ thì không nên nhưng sau này thì rất nên.
Bạn và anh ấy vì không hợp để tiếp tục bên nhau không có nghĩa là bạn phải coi anh ấy như kẻ thù thế kia. Nhưng đó là chuyện của sau này, khi trái tim bạn không còn thổn thức vì chia tay anh ấy nữa. Còn bây giờ, việc vẫn còn liên lạc với anh ấy sẽ chỉ càng làm chậm quá trình hồi phục của trái tim bạn mà thôi. Và tin Diệp đi, việc vẫn giữ liên lạc với anh ấy và luôn phiên dịch mọi tin nhắn "em khoẻ không" hay "chúc em ngủ ngon" thành ra "anh muốn chúng ta quay lại" chỉ làm bạn càng đắm chìm trong mối quan hệ cũ mà thôi. đừng ảo tưởng nữa. hãy là bạn tốt của nhau sau. Giờ bạn đang cần hồi phục trái tim cơ mà, nhớ không?
+ TỰ TIN, TỰ TIN VÀ TỰ TIN HƠN NỮA => rất nên.
Anh ấy chia tay bạn không có nghĩa bạn là 1 người xấu xa hay có điểm nào không tốt, không hấp dẫn. chỉ đơn giản là anh ấy thấy bạn không hợp với anh ấy nữa. bạn không cần phải quá lăn tăn vì 1 người không nhìn ra những ưu điểm của bạn. Hãy nghĩ rằng anh ấy đã không may mắn có được 1 người bạn gái tuyệt vời như bạn. Ngoài kia chắc chắn sẽ có người nhìn thấy những ưu điểm của bạn, yêu bạn vì bạn là chính bạn, chấp nhận cả những điểm chưa hoàn hảo ở bạn và giúp bạn hoàn thiện những điểm không hoàn hảo đó. sẽ có 1 người thật xứng đáng dành cho bạn.

Nào, khóc lóc thế đủ rồi. Hãy đứng dậy và đi tiếp, hỡi nữ chiến binh dũng cảm. Bạn đang mất lòng tin vào tình yêu, nhưng tình yêu là có thật. Nó sẽ luôn hiện hữu trong trái tim bạn, nói cho bạn biết bạn đang nghĩ về ai, làm thế nào để có được người đó, và nhất là làm thế nào để giữ gìn nó.
* ĐỂ EX LÀ NEXT
Nếu trong thâm tâm bạn biết cả 2 chỉ là đang khủng hoảng và trong lòng bạn còn thật sự yêu thì vẫn còn cách để cưa lại EX của mình. Nhưng quyết định cưa lại vô cùng mạo hiểm vì nó có thể là sự ngộ nhận, không phải tình yêu. Nếu không tỉnh táo, bạn rất dễ bị đau tập 2 => cẩn thận. Đây là 1 số kinh nghiệm của Diệp
- Ngừng liên lạc 1 thời gian.
- Ra ngoài với bạn bè và cho anh ấy thấy bạn tiếp tục cuộc sống của mình 1 cách vui vẻ nhất.
- Nếu gặp anh ấy, hãy cười thật tươi và nói chuyện tự nhiên hêt mức có thể, dù bạn rất muốn khóc. Đưng đề cập đến vấn đề quay lại.
- Luôn trông xinh đẹp nhất, ăn mặc có đầu tư và ổn định cái cân.
- Thân thiện, gần gũi kiểu như luôn là bạn của anh ấy.
=> Nếu tình yêu trong anh ấy còn, chắc chắn anh ấy sẽ tìm cách trở lại lần nữa. Còn nếu anh ấy không có động tĩnh gì, hãy tự hào vì bạn đã cố gắng hết sức mình. hãy mỉm cười rồi hít 1 hơi thật sâu, rút kinh nghiệm và xách cưa đi cưa người khác.

* DẤU HIỆU KẾT THÚC THỰC SỰ
- 1 trong 2 hoặc cả 2 mất đi sự tôn trọng lẫn nhau. Người này không còn quan tâm đến cảm giác, ước mơ, suy nghĩ của người khác.
- Trách móc, lên án, từ chối đối thoại. Nếu có ngồi lại nói chuyện thì 1 lúc sau là 1 buổi luận tội nhau.
- Cảm thấy cả 2 đã quá xa nhau.

* DẤU HIỆU BẠN ĐANG NẤN NÁ VÔ ÍCH
- Bạn dặn lòng không gọi anh ấy nữa nhưng cứ check mail 5 phút 1 lần, thường xuyên chờ đời điện thoại từ anh ấy.
- Nhắc về anh ấy không ngừng.
- Tự hỏi giờ này anh ấy đang làm gì.
- Phát hiện ra mình đang lang thang ở những nơi in dấu kỉ niệm cũ.
- Đi lang thang và chợt thấy mình đang đi trên con đường quen thuộc dẫn đến nhà anh ấy.
- Ăn uống, shopping vô tội vạ mà không hiểu vì sao.
- Ngắm ảnh anh ấy trên máy rồi bật khoc ngon lành.
=> Nếu bạn cứ mãi ngắm nhìn hoặc tệ hơn là sống trong quá khứ thì bạn sẽ không bao gìơ có thể tiến lên được. Nếu anh ấy thật sự còn yêu bạn, anh ấy sẽ để bạn biết điều ấy. Cũng như Diệp đã luôn để anh ấy biết rằng Diêp vẫn còn yêu anh ấy. Còn nêu không, hãy dũng cảm lên và đi tiếp, bạn nhé.

IT pros tend to have strong opinions when debating the value of professional certification — and views become even more polarized when it comes down to a discussion of which certs are meaningful. Erik Eckel put together a list of the accreditations he believes currently hold value for IT pros.

IT certifications boast numerous benefits. They bolster resumes, encourage higher salaries, and assist in job retention. But which IT certifications are best?

Technology professionals generate much debate over just that question. Many claim vendor-specific programs best measure a candidate’s skills, while others propose vendor-independent exams are the only worthy way of measuring real-world expertise. Still other observers believe the highest-level accreditations — Microsoft’s MCSE or new Architect Series certification, Cisco’s CCIE, etc. — are the only credentials that truly hold value.

Myself, I don’t fully subscribe to any of those mindsets. The best IT certification for you, after all, is likely to be different from that for another technology professional with different education, skills, and goals working at a different company in a different industry. For that reason, when pursuing any professional accreditation, you should give much thought and care to your education, experience, skills, goals, and desired career path.

Once a career road map is in place, selecting a potential certification path becomes much easier. And that’s where this list of the industry’s 10 best IT certifications comes into play. While this list may not include the 10 best accreditations for you, it does catalog 10 IT certifications that possess significant value for a wide range of technology professionals.


#1: MCITP
The new-generation Microsoft Certified IT Professional credential, or MCITP for short, is likely to become the next big Microsoft certification. Available for a variety of fields of expertise — including database developer, database administrator, enterprise messaging administrator, and server administrator — an MCITP validates a professional’s proven job-role capabilities. Candidates must pass several Microsoft exams that track directly to their job role before earning the new designation.

As with Microsoft’s other new-generation accreditations, the MCITP certification will retire when Microsoft suspends mainstream support for the platforms targeted within the MCITP exams. By matching the new certification to popular job roles, as has been done to some extent with CompTIA’s Server+ (server administrator), Project+ (project manager), and A+ (desktop support) certifications, Microsoft has created a new certification that’s certain to prove timely, relevant, and valuable.

#2: MCTS
The new-generation Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) helps IT staff validate skills in installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting a specific Microsoft technology. The MCTS certifications are designed to communicate the skills and expertise a holder possesses on a specific platform.

For example, candidates won’t earn an MCTS on SQL Server 2008. Instead, they’ll earn an MCTS covering SQL Server business intelligence (MCTS: SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence), database creation (MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Database Development), or SQL server administration (MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance).

These new certifications require passing multiple, tightly targeted exams that focus on specific responsibilities on specific platforms. MCTS designations will expire when Microsoft suspends mainstream support for the corresponding platform. These changes, as with other new-generation Microsoft certifications, add value to the accreditation.

#3: Security+
Security continues to be a critical topic. That’s not going to change. In fact, its importance is only going to grow. One of the quickest ways to lose shareholder value, client confidence, and sales is to suffer a data breach. And no self-respecting technology professional wants to be responsible for such a breach.

CompTIA’s Security+ accreditation provides a respected, vendor-neutral foundation for industry staff (with at least two years of experience) seeking to demonstrate proficiency with security fundamentals. While the Security+ accreditation consists of just a single exam, it could be argued that any IT employee charged with managing client data or other sensitive information should, at a minimum, possess this accreditation. The importance of ensuring staff are properly educated as to systems security, network infrastructure, access control, auditing, and organizational security principles is simply too important to take for granted.

#4: MCPD
There’s more to information technology than just administration, support, and networking. Someone must create and maintain the applications and programs that power organizations. That’s where the new-generation Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) credential comes into play.

The MCPD accreditation measures a developer’s ability to build and maintain software solutions using Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. Split into three certification paths (Windows Developer 3.5, ASP.NET Developer 3.5, and Enterprise Applications Developer 3.5), the credential targets IT professionals tasked with designing, optimizing, and operating those Microsoft technologies to fulfill business needs.

A redesigned certification aimed at better-measuring real-world skills and expertise, the MCPD will prove important for developers and programmers. Besides requiring candidates to pass several exams, the MCPD certification will retire when Microsoft suspends mainstream support for the corresponding platform. The change is designed to ensure the MCPD certification remains relevant, which is certain to further increase its value.

#5: CCNA
The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) accreditation captures most of the networking company’s certification glory. But the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) might prove more realistic within many organizations.

In a world in which Microsoft and Linux administrators are also often expected to be networking experts, many companies don’t have the budgets necessary to train (or employ) a CCIE. But even small and midsize corporations can benefit from having their technology professionals earn basic proficiency administering Cisco equipment, as demonstrated by earning a CCNA accreditation.

As smaller companies become increasingly dependent upon remote access technologies, basic Cisco systems skills are bound to become more important. Although many smaller organizations will never have the complexity or workload necessary to keep a CCIE busy, Cisco’s CCNA is a strong accreditation for technology professionals with a few years’ experience seeking to grow and improve their networking skills.

#6: A+
Technology professionals with solid hardware and support skills are becoming tougher to find. There’s not much glory in digging elbow-deep into a desktop box or troubleshooting Windows boot errors. But those skills are essential to keeping companies running.

Adding CompTIA’s A+ certification to a resume tells hiring managers and department heads that you have proven support expertise. Whether an organization requires desktop installation, problem diagnosis, preventive maintenance, or computer or network error troubleshooting, many organizations have found A+-certified technicians to be more productive than their noncertified counterparts.

Changes to the A+ certification, which requires passing multiple exams, are aimed at keeping the popular credential relevant. Basic prerequisite requirements are now followed by testing that covers specific fields of expertise (such as IT, remote support, or depot technician). The accreditation is aimed at those working in desktop support, on help desks, and in the field, and while many of these staffers are new to the industry, the importance of an A+ certification should not be overlooked.

#7: PMP
Some accreditations gain value by targeting specific skills and expertise. The Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is a great example.

The Project Management Institute (PMI), a nonprofit organization that serves as a leading membership association for project management practitioners, maintains the PMP exam. The certification measures a candidate’s project management expertise by validating skills and knowledge required to plan, execute, budget, and lead a technology project. Eligible candidates must have five years of project management experience or three years of project management experience and 35 hours of related education.

As organizations battle tough economic conditions, having proven project scheduling, budgeting, and management skills will only grow in importance. The PMI’s PMP credential is a perfect conduit for demonstrating that expertise on a resume.

#8: MCSE/MCSA
Even years after their introduction, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) credentials remain valuable. But it’s important to avoid interpreting these accreditations as meaning the holders are all-knowing gurus, as that’s usually untrue.

In my mind, the MCSE and MCSA hold value because they demonstrate the holder’s capacity to complete a long and comprehensive education, training, and certification program requiring intensive study. Further, these certifications validate a wide range of relevant expertise (from client and server administration to security issues) on specific, widely used platforms.

Also important is the fact that these certifications tend to indicate holders have been working within the technology field for a long time. There’s no substitute for actual hands-on experience. Many MCSEs and MCSAs hold their certifications on Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 platforms, meaning they’ve been working within the industry for many years. While these certifications will be replaced by Microsoft’s new-generation credentials, they remain an important measure of foundational skills on Windows platforms.

#9: CISSP
As mentioned with the Security+ accreditation earlier, security is only going to grow in importance. Whatever an organization’s mission, product, or service, security is paramount.

(ISC)², which administers the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) accreditation, has done well building a respected, vendor-neutral security certification. Designed for industry pros with at least five years of full-time experience, and accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the CISSP is internationally recognized for validating a candidate’s expertise with operations and network and physical security, as well as their ability to manage risk and understand legal compliance responsibilities and other security-related elements.

#10: Linux+
While pursuing my first Microsoft certification 10 years ago, I remember debating the importance of Linux with several telecommunications technicians. They mocked the investment I was making in learning Microsoft technologies. These techs were confident Linux was going to displace Windows.

Well, didn’t happen. Linux continues to make inroads, though. The open source alternative is an important platform. Those professionals who have Linux expertise and want to formalize that skill set will do well adding CompTIA’s Linux+ certification to their resumes.

The vendor-neutral exam, which validates basic Linux client and server skills, is designed for professionals with at least six to 12 months of hands-on Linux experience. In addition to being vendor-neutral, the exam is also distribution neutral (meaning the skills it covers work well whether a candidate is administering Red Hat, SUSE, or Ubuntu systems).
Let the debate begin

Do you strive to do the right thing in any affairs of our your life.
In some cases people tend to believe that doing the right thing sometines may cause you lose one or two ‘temporal’ material things.Why do i call it a temporal material thing? Because what you achieve by playing the ‘fast guy’when you should do what is right has an effect on your integrity and your climb in life.
What actually makes you do the right thing?It is character.
Character will always push you to do the right thing no matter what the crowd is saying.
To understand it better,look at this quote by Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.’Cowardice asks:is it safe?Consesus asks:is it popular?Character asks:is it right?.
Always do the right thing and you will not regret it.
In conclusion,ponder on this story from The Word from today-a daily devotional guide

‘During the final play-off of the U.S Open,Bobby Jones’ball ended up in the rough just of the fairway.As he set up to play his shot,he accidentally moved his ball.He immediately turned to the marshals and announce a foul.The marshals hadn’t seen the ball move;neither had anyone in the gallery.So they left it up to Jones whether to take the penalty stroke.He did.Later when someone commended him for his integrity,Jones replied,’Do you commend a bank robber for not robbing a bank? No,you don’t.This is how the game of golf should be played at all times.’Jones lost the match that day by one stroke,but he maintained his integrity.His character was so well-known that the United States Golf Association’s sportsmanship award came to be named The Bob Jones Award.’

Always do the right thing,it pays to do it .

Smart Growth 101: Introduction to Smart Growth
Smart Growth America
A “Smart Growth 101” presentation designed for people and organizations interested in communicating the smart growth message to audiences that are unfamiliar with the concept.

EPA Smart Growth Presentation
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
An introductory smart growth presentation created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The principles of smart growth help us better manage the pace and pattern of our communities growth. We can have the benefits of growth, more jobs, a broader tax base, and a healthy economy with fewer of the costs associated with poorly-planned development.

But after decades of sprawling development, the task of reshaping our communities can be overwhelming. Many of our children have never lived in communities where it is possible to bike down the street for a popsicle. Our current zoning codes, transportation policies, and regulations have created places in which walking to school is difficult, and sometimes even dangerous.

This starter kit, funded by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, pulls together some of the best smart growth resources available, including publications, presentations, fact sheets and web sites. I wish you all the best as you strive to improve the quality of life in your community.

Sincerely,

Don Chen
Executive Director
