Top 5 Reasons to Quit your Job and Start a Business
If you too find yourself confused about the common working man’s
eternal dream of quitting a regular job and starting a business, the following considerations will enlighten you why you should take this dream seriously:
Eliminate Fear of Being Laid-off Forever!
The Indian economy is still dictated to a large extent by global
economic trends. Whether it was the economic downturn that sank
international economies during 2008 or periodic downward swings in
international business, Indian industrial growth isn't totally immune to
such trends. This is why even the biggest of corporates have to fire
employees from time-to-time, paying heed to their falling margins or
dipping international currency rates. However if you are in-charge of your business,
such fears of being laid-off are temporarily removed. Your business
might suffer from cyclical patterns of low returns due to gloomy moods
in international markets but the stigma and stress of being fired would be totally neutralized.
Break-away from ‘Being Employed’ & Taste the Flavor of ‘Being Engrossed’
There will always be folks who swear that their jobs provide them the satisfaction and opportunities they have always sought. However, the number of such people is limited. Most of us find ourselves caught between office politics, lack of professional growth avenues and sustained pressure of finding a more lucrative job offer. However, a self-business model is such that it doesn’t employ you, i.e. rather it engages your soulful dedication. Being a self-entrepreneur means you will develop an inherent enthusiasm for your work which is the best cure for job-related problems like stress, fatigue and professional frustrations.
Benefit from Encouraging Environment to Start Business
The Indian economy has been progressing steadily due to the rise of numerous start-ups and self-sustaining business models. This fact has been realized by the state and central governments who are continuously trying to make the environment more feasible for prospective entrepreneurs. Though the cost of land and other manpower resources have risen considerably, financing and the administrative procedures have become more undemanding. Banks and lending institutions are more forthcoming to start-up organizations, providing loans and long-term finance options with greater ease than ever before.

Gain from Consumers Being Back to Spending
While some nations are still recovering from the after-effects of 2008’s economic crisis, the Indian economy is back to its robust growth pattern. Even with the cost for basic goods risings, the spending pattern shows little signs of abating. Some businesses might complain about shrinking margins but the volumes continue to grow with the average Indian consumer becoming more brand-conscious, having access to easier personal financing and looking upon spending as an integral part of contemporary lifestyles.
Unleash Your Creativity & Explore Your Potential
The current social scenario is such that experimenting with a business model and testing one’s self-entrepreneur skills have been accepted. Newer trends are rising which give you the option of testing unexplored waters with greater ease. For instance, some people have quit their jobs, mid-way through their career and set-up homestays wherein they permanently rent-out a piece of their property to foreign travelers and use this easy source of income for financing their dreams of being a writer or an artist. With India’s wireless internet access spurting, the online medium itself provides an unlimited range unexplored business options. The onslaught of social networking has meant that there is no need to employ expensive, Public Relations or marketing firms for promotional purposes

Family Counts....
Today, an increasing number of families are redirecting or already concentrate their attention towards the importance of keeping their unit strong by increasing the number of activities done as one. In a world where stress, tension, peer pressure, personal obstacles, negative influences, and life-changing events are commonplace, a strong family with positive values is better able to overcome the things in life that slows down progress and growth.
In every culture, the notion of family values and keeping a family together is different for each individual group. This is because not every family unit is faced with the same outside pressures or opportunities in the world. The environment and government also plays an important role on how family structures are molded within various communities. A strong family unit may encourage education, promote respect for themselves and others, instill discipline, foster creative and healthy growth, stress the importance of nutrition, emphasize ancestral ties, supply physical and mental outlets, as well as provide protection.
It has been noted in many studies that about 75% of Americans believe family is the most important factor in achieving personal happiness. With all members of a family, the environment at home is very influential. Depending on the structure, values, and strength as a whole – parents, husbands, wives, siblings, and children may become motivated, uplifted, and rejuvenated. Parents especially thrive on the sense of achievement, extreme joy, and sense of purpose that they receive through the accomplishments of their children and household.
The impact of a strong family base on today's youth is rather strong, as a tight unit at home has the capacity to surpass the influence of television stars, musicians and other celebrities as role models. In this case, Mom and Dad become the sought-after opinion givers and sources of guidance that children value most. Usually, these children are steered to make the best choices for their future because they have supporters with a genuine interest in their well-being and success.
It has been proven that children with strong family ties are less likely to do drugs, submit to peer pressure, show violent tendencies, and become bullies in school. They tend to perform better in school, graduate, and attend college. They tend to exhibit stability within their lives that allows them to accomplish the things they want out of life. This energy and achievement of younger members of the family also give boosts in their parents, which further fosters the continuous circle of nurturing, love, and support.
For some, listening skills are not that easy to come by and may take a lot of practice. This is because listening doesn’t just involve the ears, but also involves eye contact and body language. Positive responses and reactions are vital when one is sharing their feelings, which encourages future communication to take place. For instance, if a parent wants their child to open up– they must establish dialogue that is accommodating and approachable. Family activities help strengthen these bonds and allow both parents and children to work on their listening and speaking skills.
Family activities build self-esteem, as the lines of communication open and present opportunities to give praise, boost confidence, and point out skills and strengths – all of which increases a child's awareness of their worth. Camping, playing baseball or other sports, barbecuing in the park, and biking through wooded trails are just some of the things families may take advantage of to improve tight bonds. Today, one of the most motivating times a family may spend with one another is at the dinner table.
Anything and everything can occur at the dinner table, as the preparation to the eating of the actual meal to washing the dishes offers plenty of chances to make a positive impact in the lives of family members. It is suggested that parents infuse the dinnertime chatter with humor, happiness, life lessons, support, and most of all – love. This will also become one of the best times and places to plan additional activities the entire family may participate in the near future.

Importance of Family Activities
In many families, children and parents who are able to talk and listen to one another undergo fewer arguments and disagreements. The lower incidence of conflict adds to the increased respect across generations, as well as a more supportive and healthy atmosphere in the home. Good communication skills between relatives are cultivated through family activities and the simplest of gestures, such as listening.For some, listening skills are not that easy to come by and may take a lot of practice.

The Importance of Family Dinners
Solid communication that takes place about the dinner table is a great way to stay in touch with what is going on in the lives of each and every family member. This is the time when Dad makes plans for a Sunday fishing trip with his youngest son, while the eldest daughter is visiting a college for the weekend. Mom announces to everyone that she has won an award at work and will be honored at a banquet. The youngest daughter asks for help with her science project and volunteers at the table give suggestions.Anything and everything can occur at the dinner table, as the preparation to the eating of the actual meal to washing the dishes offers plenty of chances to make a positive impact in the lives of family members.

Why is My Computer Slow?
Almost everyone who's used a P.C. at one time or another has asked the question "Why the ( expletive deleted ) is my computer so slow?" This article will help explain why and give you a some tips on how to get your computer fast again.
There are a handful of reasons your computer might be slow; I am going to cover the most common ones and I promise I will try to keep it simple.
Public enemy number one for slow speed in my experience is too many start-up processes. The common story is you go to the store, pick up a shiny new computer, turn it on and you can't believe how nice and quick it is. And then you go to Facebook, and look! They have a cool add-on for your web browser, you have to install that right? :) You get the idea. Over time, all of these little add-ons and programs add up to one huge cyber-weight. The problem is, your computer is pulling all of that extra weight with the same old engine it came with. In other words, you have the original CPU and memory trying to run a lot more software. You may have heard the term "bloatware" kicked around. All the non-essential extras that use up your computer's resources are bloatware.
So how do you get back to the good old days of cruising the Web in style? Two ways that I recommend:
- Hire a technician to do it for you.
- Try to clean it up yourself.
So let's go right to number two. You'll need a few tools. Not screwdrivers or hammers, but some good software tools. Don't worry, they're all free.
The first one is built-in. Go to the Windows Start Menu and click Control Panel. You will see a link called "Programs." Click it and then click "Uninstall Programs." After a few seconds you'll see a list of all the programs installed on your computer. Simply look through the list and uninstall anything you don't need. Just remember, once you uninstall it, it will be completely off of the computer.
After a reboot, download the tools below.
Ccleaner at http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/
Ccleaner has proven to be an excellent tool for cleaning out and fixing a multitude of problems caused by software in your computer.

Malwarebytes at http://www.malwarebytes.org/
I install this on all of my clients' computers. You scan with it manually once per week and it helps clean out viruses and malware in general that your main antivirus program may have missed. Keep in mind, our goal is to minimize background processes; hence, why I recommend Malwarebytes and running it manually.

Another great way to speed up your computer is with upgrades. You can install more RAM and if you have a few extra bucks, spring for a solid-state hard drive. You'll be surprised at the difference.

Reviewing one’s situation
I have never forgotten an extraordinary documentary I saw on television some years ago about a woman whose life was irrevocably changed when she uncovered some information about her past of which she had previously been unaware. She had been raised in a Welsh Presbyterian family and had happily lived her life within that religious tradition. If I remember it correctly, she had some inkling that she was adopted since she was just old enough to remember a hasty departure from Hitler’s Germany prior to the Second World War, to live with this kindly and accommodating family in Wales.
The fact that she discovered late in life which changed her whole self-identity was that her real mother was Jewish. Suddenly this child’s quick transportation out of Germany became more comprehensible. But more than this, she learned that her father had been a Nazi, an SS Officer.
As she pieced the fragments of her parents’ life together, she began to imagine that theirs was a true and painfully impossible romance, thwarted by an ideological system that would never have allowed such a love to prosper. This imagination – both dramatic and heartwarming – was however far from the truth. She had been conceived out of wedlock, in circumstances that were not in the least romantic. Her mother had been the cleaning woman for this philandering officer and his perfectly German family.
Her discovery was devastating and had thrown her into personal turmoil, her cultural and religious identity shattered and her romantic notions about her parents’ love torn to pieces.
This kind of discovery – albeit treated in a light-hearted way – is also the premise of a forthcoming feature film starring comedian Omid Djalili, entitled The Infidel. Written by the comedian David Baddiel, it tells the story of Mahmud Nasir, a British Muslim who discovers – after his mother’s death – that his birth certificate reveals that not only was he adopted at birth but he’s Jewish: real name Solly Shimshillewitz. Tumbling headlong into a full scale identity crisis, Mahmud takes lessons in Jewishness, starting with how to dance like Topol.
Omid – who is an old friend – does Jewishness very well. I could imagine him easily playing Tevye the milkman in Fiddler on the Roof after seeing him last night in his first starring role on London’s West End stage – as Fagin in the musical Oliver! He has stepped into a role that was played by Rowan Atkinson in the first six months of the revival and he’s being succeeded in December by Atkinson’s old comedy partner from Not the Nine O’Clock News days, Griff Rhys Jones. Omid is modest about his talents and his spell in Oliver! telling me he is sandwiched between two comedy legends. Judging by his performance last night, I would aver that Omid is fast on his way to being a member of that category himself. For me, and certainly for the audience sitting around me, his Fagin is the high point of the show – commanding the whole stage as the loveable rogue, raising genuine laughs, clearly engendering a great rapport with the children in the cast and slipping into his trademark belly dancing routine at opportune moments. This Anglo-Iranian-Bahá’í – with no Jewish blood as far as I know – makes a very good Fagin, albeit slightly more sephardic than one remembers Ron Moody being in the role.
My reflections on identity were triggered by seeing the way the boy Oliver is portrayed in the show. He is depicted as a child who – despite spending his entire life in a workhouse, starved and abused and surrounded by impoverished waifs and strays – still carries with him the polite manners and upright character inherited from his mother and maternal grandfather who he eventually finds his way home to. Oliver’s good breeding is recognized to all who meet him, suggesting that – if the show is being faithful to the book – Charles Dickens was a believer that behaviour and bearing are more nature than nurture.
So is our cultural identity and behaviour inherent, inherited or acquired? Most Jewish people would argue, I imagine, that it is inherent. Even I, having never been raised in the Jewish faith, feel an instant rapport with Jewish people when I meet them. But so many other factors shape us.
The documentary film about the woman from Wales ended with her returning to the newly-reunified Berlin and a tearful meeting with a half-sister she had not known existed, born to her father within his acceptable marriage. Ultimately, it did not really matter whether she was Welsh, Presbytarian, Jewish, German or anything else. What mattered more than where she had come from was what she had made of her life.
