Kisi se Baat karna , Bolna acha nahi lagta
Tujhe Dekha hai jab se , Doosra acha nahi lagta

Teri ankhon main jab se maine apna aks Dekha Hai
mere chahre ko koi aina acha nahi lagta.....

Tere Baare main Din Bhar sochti Rehti Hoon main lekin
Tere Baare main sab se Poochna acha nahi lagta

Yahan Mohabbat karne wale Barbaad Rehte hain.....
yeh Darya Hai issey kacha Gharra acha nahi lagta

MAIN ab chahat ki us Manzil per aan Punhcha Hoon,
Teri Jaanib kisi ka Dekhna acha nahi lagta....

A consequence of the association between entrepreneurship and change is the role that entrepreneurs play in promoting innovative technologies, products, and services. Many people who have developed new technologies, products, or services were employees of large corporations that refused to use the new inventions forcing the inventors to become entrepreneurs. Take Gore-Tex fabric, now a staple of winter sportswear. When Gore-Tex was first developed, no established garment manufacturer wanted to use it, and it was ignored until a struggling smaller firm decided to experiment with it.

Sometimes one entrepreneurial innovation gives rise to many others. The most famous and important case comes from the very start of the Industrial Revolution during the second half of the eighteenth century. Early in that century, imported cotton fabric from India gave some British entrepreneurs the idea of producing such fabric in Britain. At first, the raw cotton (mostly from the American South) was spun into yarn by hand-operated machines and then woven, also by hand-operated machines, into fabric. But a problem arose: the machines that did the spinning worked too slowly to produce enough yarn to keep all the weaving machines fully occupied. Spinning, therefore, was a bottleneck. Before long inventors were working to rmove the jam. In the mid-1760s, James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny, a machine that could produce up to 11 threads of cotton simultaneously. Later in the century, the spinning jenny was linked to the steam engine, so that it no longer had to be worked by the operator’s foot. The overall effect of these innovations was to increase still further the amount of cotton thread produced. Now there was too much thread and not enough weaving capacity-exactly the opposite of the old problem. Again, inventors went to work. In 1785, an English clergyman invented the power loom, a weaving machine powered by a steam engine. Even Starbucks is leading a trend towards a rapid increase of gourmet coffee shops. In the small city of Charlottesville, Virginia, four new gourmet coffee retailers opened in 1993.

Some Contributions of Independent investors and Small Organizations:
Digital computer, Xerography, Laser, Insulin, Turbojet engine, Magnetic recording, Oxygen steel making process, Gyrocompass, Rocketry, Shell molding, Shrink-proof knitwear, Zipper, Self-winding wristwatch Continuous hot-strip steel, Helicopter, Air Conditioning, Ball-point pen, Tungsten carbide, Velcro, Fiberglass surfboards, String trimmers, Magnetic core memory, Flexible soda straws, Vacuum tube, FM radio, Penicillin, Petroleum catalytic cracking, Fiber optics, Heterodyne radio, Streptomycin, Cyclotron, Titanium, Cotton picker, Dacron polyester fiber, Automatic Transmission, Mercury dry cell, Power steering, Color photography, Polaroid camera, Cellophane, Bakelite, Hovercraft, Metal-laminated skis, Fiber-glass snow skis, Prince tennis racket, Geodesic domes.

Marketplace Change:
Entrepreneurs stir up the waters of competition in the market place. Zoltan Acs calls small businesses created by entrepreneurs “agents of change in a market economy. Examples are everywhere: Steve Jobs and Steve Woznaik upset the computer market with the Apple Computer, the Wankel engine got the attention of managers in the auto industry, Donald Burr changed the rules of airline price competition with People Express, Al Neuharth changed the sports pages of American newspapers with USA Today, and MTV changed the way rock music is promoted. You can imagine that if you were running a small coffee shop and bakery, and Starbucks moved in across the street, you’d soon be thinking about the competitiveness of your business. And Schultz faces competition from bookstores such as Borders that have opened coffee bars.

The international market also provides entrepreneurial opportunities for companies. Cascade Medical Inc., for example, knew there was a large potential market in Saudi Arabia for its blood-glucose home monitoring system. Saudi Arabia has 700,000 diabetics. It joined with a Saudi trading partner and now competes with foreign health-care companies-all giants and has snapped up 20% of the Saudi home-glucose-monitoring market.

Benefits of ERP: ERP enables an organization to look itself in wards as well as outwards towards the market. Due to the holistic view provided by ERP, the organization has a better insight into its own policies, systems and procedures. The organization is also able to look at the inefficiencies, bottlenecks and deficiency in communication across functions / departments / divisions present in the enterprises. It can help identify any area where the different departments of the enterprises are working at cross purposes. The very word integration signifies that no part of the organization is an island. All those that were islands earlier would be connected to each other effectively with the introduction of ERP.

ERP’s strength lies in its ability to provide information that is comprehensive, instantaneous and up-to-date. It provides this to all segments of the enterprise. The information from the different segments of the enterprise also gets into the ERP system seamlessly. Thus, the two way exchange is almost effortless. Sharing of information should make it easy for people to work together many of the wastes in corporations are due to the non-availability of information or due to constrained flow of information and hence the same to being available at the time when it is needed . These wastes could be eliminated with the use of ERP. ERP proves that formation is indeed power in today’s competitive market that needs an agile response from an organization.

(a) The benefits of having an ERP system installed are:

1. up to date
2. uniform
3. comprehensive, across the entire organization
4. integrated, linking all the functional departments and divisions.

(b) The ERP software embeds the best practices followed by corporation across the world.
(c) The instantaneously available comprehensive information, the linking of different departments, and the embedded business processes in the ERP software can help a manager to take appropriate decisions with speed and quality.
(d)It integrates the work flow in the entire enterprises. The organizations could thus be made more agile responding quickly and appropriately to the market situation and in attending to the customer.
(e) Every decision maker, whether the decision is big or small is put on the ‘value chain’. There is therefore more focus imparted to the organization.
(f) It helps an organization to look inwards and thus discover areas that could be improved upon.

Since establishing an ERP requires large investments the CEOs of the enterprises are typically interested in the return on investments (ROI). While there is nothing wrong in watching the ROI, the top executives should be conscious of (and develop measures to monitor) customer satisfaction (the ultimate goal), cycle times, delivery performance, decisions making time and intangibles like the quality of decisions etc.

Implementation of ERP: However, just by installing an ERP system an organization cannot expect the benefits to flow. Much of the results depend on the way ERP is implemented. First and foremost, the attitudes of people have to change. ERP expects people to change the way they do their jobs. People in general resist change. The software is less important than the changes in the way people do their jobs. In fact if people’s attitudes are changed, the software may even become an impediment to the smooth running of the operations. That is the downside, if the organization is not well prepared for the changes.

Moreover, the results from ERP like any transformation in the systems are not instantaneous. At least not those that concern the revenues profit and ROI. ERP, as transformational process, can take two to three years. An organization has to keep on improving its policies, systems procedures and ways of transacting business with ERP as an enabler. The point is not to expect a revolution, but a gradual transformation. Much of the benefits due to ERP depend on the amount if introspection the organization does about its own ways of doing business. It is a prerequisite to put one’s house in order before one does business with other organizations.

The main treatment for obesity is to reduce body fat by eating fewer calories and exercising more.

DIET IDEAS :

1. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Have a healthy meal in the morning to start your metabolism.

2. Vegetables have essential vitamins and nutrients for your healthy weight loss. Pair any vegetable with a protein to make a meal, or eat alone as a healthy snack.

3. Maintenance of a good ratio between carbohydrates and lipids 4:1

4. Make sure that you eat five different types of fruit and vegetables every day. Every day also make sure that you eat at least one thing from each of the different food groups: Carbohydrates, Fruit and vegetables, Protein, Dairy, and Fats. Remember to eat the most fruit and vegetables, and the least fats.

5. Eat small, healthy meals frequently.

6. Keep in mind that you must still count your calories to be an effective weight loss plan. As a general rule, it is best to eat 5 smaller meals throughout the day.

7. You should be eating some healthy fats in your diet.

8. Protein is also essential for losing body fat. Protein is needed to repair your muscle tissue after working out.

9. Having fiber in your diet will help regulate your digestive system.

10. Too much salt gives you high blood pressure; a high fat diet will give you hard and narrow arteries that could lead to heart attacks and strokes, possibly even death.

11. Foods that are grilled are by definition, not cooked in oil or their own fat which means once cooked they retain little or no fat so are better for overall health.

College Needn’t Bankrupt You

 

          For all the scare stories this spring about how hard it was going to be for students to get loans, the loan season is ending quietly with money secured. But I have a different take on this story. Why are we glad that students and parents find it so easy to get further into hock? Students who borrow are graduating with a median $20,000 in education debt that schools know about (that doesn't count direct loans from other places where students borrow, like banks). Kids have no idea how tough it could be to repay or what might happen if they can't (for some horror stories, see studentloanjustice.org). Families starting to think about college should troll for places they can afford, while borrowing as little money as possible.
