Wear Your Helmet When Riding - Always

Advisory to the Fans of MgaEpal.com

Gusto ko lang po ipaalam na ang site ng MgaEpal.com ay na-hack, subalit na-recover ng moderators, the 4 Ninjas, and kanilang domain name na http://www.mgaepal.com.

The hackers are operating a mirror site under the domain http://www.awtz.net, pero kung papansinin ay malayung-malayo ang personalidad ng site sa original.  Mapapansin din po ang kaibahan sa kanilang Facebook pages.  Dahil po kahit na hack ang site,  the hackers do not have the brains of the original creators.

Nakuha din po ang kanilang Facebook page, which has more than 60,000 likes.  Ang page po ng hackers ay https://www.facebook.com/pages/MgaEpalcom/411540705610

Nakagawa na po ng bagong page ang 4 Ninjas, ang https://www.facebook.com/mgaepalpage.

Sa mga naka-like pa po sa old Facebook page, please unlike and transfer to the new page of MgaEpal, https://www.facebook.com/mgaepalpage.

Sa mga followers naman po ng http://www.awtz.net, please stop following and revert to http://www.mgaepal.com.

Pareho po ang kanilang mga blog names, pati Facebook fan page names, pareho din po ng posts, pero magkaiba po ang mensahe.  Huwag po magpaloko.

Let us not patronize the work of thieves.

Let Us Help This Couple in Distress

As I was surfing the internet last night, I chanced upon the blog of a couple.  They are seeking help so that their ordeal of almost two years may end.  Someone is trying to extort money from them.  Please take time to read their blog and the least that we can do to help is to post their blog in our Facebook accounts or other social networking sites until their case reaches the proper authorities.

Steve Jobs: The Great American Story

Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ "12 Rules of Success"

 

Steve Jobs went from being an unemployed college dropout to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time. And he did it thanks to these “12 Rules to Success”:

1. Do what you love to do. Find your true passion. Make a difference. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
2. Be different. Think different. Better to be a pirate than to join the navy.
3. Do your best at every job. Don’t sleep! Success generates more success so be hungry for it. Hire good people with a passion for excellence.
4. Perform SWOT analysis. As soon as you join/start a company, make a list of strengths and weaknesses of yourself and your company on a piece of paper. Don’t hesitate to throw bad apples out of the company.
5. Be entrepreneurial. Look for the next big thing. Find a set of ideas that need to be acted upon quickly and decisively and jump through that window. Sometimes the first step is the hardest one. Just take it. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
6. Start small, think big. Don’t worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. Put a ding in the universe.
7. Strive to become a market leader. Own and control the primary technology in everything you do. If there’s a better technology available, use it regardless of whether or not anyone else is using it. Be the first, and make it an industry standard.
8. People judge you by your performance, so focus on the outcome. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. Advertise. If they don’t know about it, they won’t buy your product. Pay attention to design. We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them. Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
9. Ask for feedback from people with diverse backgrounds. Each one will tell you one useful thing. If you’re at the top of the chain, sometimes people won’t give you honest feedback because they’re afraid. In this case, disguise yourself, or get feedback from other sources. Focus on those who will use your product - listen to your customers first.
10. Innovate. Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower. Delegate. Let other top executives do 50% of your routine work to be able to spend 50% your time on the new stuff. Say no to 1,000 things to make sure you don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. Concentrate on really important creations and radical innovation. Hire people who want to make the best things in the world. You need a very product-oriented culture, even in a technology company. Lots of companies have tons of great engineers and smart people. But ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls it all together.
11. Learn from failures. Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
12. Learn continually. There’s always “one more thing” to learn.
    Cross-pollinate ideas with others both within and outside your company. Learn from customers, competitors and partners. If you partner with someone whom you don’t like, learn to like them - praise them and benefit from them. Learn to criticize your enemies openly, but honestly.

So, how many of Jobs’ rules to success do you agree with? Any others you might like to add? We’d love to know what you think in the comments section below.
