self-forgiveness as one of the acts of life that fills experience with purpose
This section is extracted from Robert D. Waterman's book
"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much. There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force, which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.

What's Concept Selling?
Many organizations follow the selling concept, which holds that consumers will not buy enough of the organization’s products unless it undertakes a large scale selling and promotion effort. The concept is typically practiced with unsought goods, those that buyers do not normally think of buying such as encyclopedias or insurance. These industries must excel at tracking down prospects and selling them on product benefits.
Most firms practice the selling concept when they have overcapacity. Their aim is to sell what they make rather than make what the market wants. Such marketing carriers high risks. It focuses on creating sales transactions rather than on building long-term, profitable relationships with customers. It assumes that customers who are coaxed into buying the product will like it. Or if they don’t like it, they will possibly forget disappointment and buy it again later.
These are usually poor assumptions to make about buyers. Most studies show that dissatisfied customers do not buy again. Worse yet, while the average satisfied customer tells three others about good experiences, the average dissatisfied customer tells ten others about his or her bad experience.

Self Analysis & Marketing
Self Analysis & Marketing
Before you can make an effective application, whether for a job or a course of further study, you have to know what you have to offer. It is not enough to simply list your qualifications and work experience. You also need to offer evidence for your skills or competencies.
Knowing your skills and abilities will help you develop greater self confidence and enable you to present a positive image to employers.

Researching Career Options
You have a number of choices available, most of which require advance planning. Many students don't start career planning until they are in the last term of their studies, with deadlines looming and final examinations to be passed. Making a career choice at this late stage is an additional pressure most students could do without.
Deciding between options needs careful thought and planning in order to meet application deadlines and to make informed choices. There are a number of factors you may want to consider when making your career choice.

Goal SettingOnce you have conducted some research into your career options (and maybe spoken to a Career Consultant), you should be in a position to set some career goals. The more specific your goals are, the easier they will be to achieve. |
Setting goals that are SMART (Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic and Timed) is a practical way to begin.
An Example of a SMART Goal
A Law student wishes to become a solicitor. This is a long-term goal, of which the next step is to undertake a Legal Practice Course (LPC).
Gaining a place on a Legal Practice Course (LPC) | Details |
Specific | This is a clear and specific aim ('to undertake further legal study' however is not specific, as there are a wide range of postgraduate Law courses available. |
Measurable | Gaining a place on an LPC can be easily measured. |
Achievable | Undertaking an LPC is expensive, you will either have to self-fund, or gain sponsorship. |
Realistic | You will need to pass your Law degree (possibly with a certain classification) to obtain a place on an LPC. |
Timed | Application to gain a place on a full-time LPC course has to be submitted by the beginning of December for courses beginning in the following September. |

10 Concept Mobile Phones!
Concept Phones are great, as they give you an idea about what designers can do when they don’t have to be concerned about the mundane stuff.
I have compiled a list of Top Ten concept phones that might or might not meet realism.
10. Bracelet Phone with Built-in MP3 Player
When this Bracelet phone receives any message, it starts vibrating and making or receiving a phone call is just too easy. To read the message, take the bracelet out of your wrist and press the diamond-like keystroke.
Whoa, it’s not just another run-of-the-mill concept. Instead, the bracelet phone comes with a built-in MP3 player. With this phone on your wrist, you are definitely going to rock the party and make others green-eyed.
9. CUin5 Concept Cellphone
CUin5 mobile phone is inspired by the big firm’s designs of a ‘super-practical’ interface with the all-too-typical feature set. Every face of the phone carries a keypad, microphone, and speaker. The part you touch first gets active while all other edges are in lock mode.
8. BenQSiemens Snake phone
I am just thinking of how to operate this snaky phone. The concept phone looks like a snake and you can wrap it around your wrist.
The looks are cool and captivating but I doubt the ease with which we will be operating this crazy snaky concept phone.
7. Dark Label Retroxis Phone
The Black Label Retroxis phone by designer Lim Sze Tat reflects a retro
approach towards design with clean aesthetics, optimum controls and functions.
It is sheathed in high genteel polycarbonate prominent for its lightweight and stiffness and the imperceptible OLED display silently hides away when inactive to make your phone look clean and stylish.
6. Onyx Concept Phone
I hope you haven’t forgotten the Onyx concept phone- first keyless touch-screen mobile phone utilizing Synaptics’ Clearpad transparent touch-sensitive capacitive sensor.
Well, the Onyx boasts a high-resolution LCD screen and a transparent touch-sensitive capacitive sensor. The video is worth a look to find the tempting keyless touch screen phone of the future in action.
5. Black Box Concept Phone
The looks of this concept phone from BenQ-Seimens are alluring enough to turn your head.
Well, the Black Box changes the control layout according to the functions you use.
4. NEC Tag concept phone
The concept phone has been made up of flexible material and has been named “Tag”. The flexible material used will allow this phone to change its shape according to the mode.
So hang them, wear as a wristband or just wrap around the belt, these phones will never say no to a shape.
3. Nokia Aeon concept phone
The Nokia Aeon concept was somehow inspired by Synaptics Onyx. The full surface touchscreen display phone concept is indeed cool and tempting but who knows? Nokia is tight-lipped to make any comments on the phone.
2. Sony Ericsson Concept Phone
Though we are not sure whether this cool product is actually in works, I would love to see it get real.
All that we know at the moment is its OLED display, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 2GB of storage, and an integrated FM tuner.
The ultra-thin phone comes with silver accents and flip-down cover. Well Sony, we can’t wait more. Drop it down.
1. Nokia Archive Concept Phone
The concept phone dubbed “Archive” will enable the users to share ideas at ease and pace. Virtual teamwork is made effortless through smart wireless conferencing and remote presentations. Bluetooth audio ensures strong and clear communication. When mobile technology ascends to this level, we will achieve great things together.
