How to Win LIfe?

>Life>





Assume for a moment that life is a game. Like all superb games it is not zero-sum — there is a way for one player to win without another player having to lose. As I mentioned previously the upward spiral of win-win-win is achieved by being valuable and serving others.

So maybe you have identified your value and you headed off to serve people and got stuck in “paralysis by analysis”.

Who should I serve? How do I find them? Which of my valuables will serve them? What if they don’t know they need to be served?

Or better yet, you took the first step and picked somewhere to start from and “failed” to reach your goal (you did set a goal, didn’t you?!). Then once you had “failed” you decided it wasn’t such a good idea any way and you’d be better off sulking in the corner with Eeyore.

For those stuck at the first step some blunt advice (that I give myself often): Get over yourself and get moving. The only reason you haven’t acted yet is that you are afraid of looking like a fool. Or afraid of getting stuck at the next step. Or afraid it might work too well! The first is easy: the only people who matter in your life already know you aren’t perfect and are still with you — now get started!

And what about those sulking with Eeyore for “failing” (or afraid they’ll “fail” so badly that even Eeyore won’t like them). The key here is a little word magic. Richard Bandler was the first person I heard make the distinction between “failing” and feedback. Everything is potential feedback if you are paying attention and doing something with the new information. The only way to fail is to give yourself a time limit or otherwise artificially constrain your resources.

This is not “if at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you!”
This is “if at first you don’t succeed, duh!”

How many things worth doing have you done perfectly the first time and every time? (Or perfectly any time?!) Everyone I know learned by “failing” many, many times before they “succeeded”. (Dr Martin has a nice mind bender that questions “success” if there is no such thing as “failure”.)

Okay, so here is the step by step method:

Identify your value.
Pick a goal.
Do something relevant.
Observe what happens.
Did it get you closer to your goal?
Yes! Keep going.
No. Go back to and do a different something relevant.
Did you reach your goal?
Yes! Go back to and notice your new value, then pick a new goal.
No. Go back to and do more of the things that got you closer to your goal.
Notice that there is no way out of this sequence. That is because winning is a process goal not an outcome goal.

TCP/IP

whai is IP Address?


IP Tutorial - IP Address Notation
Learn how to recognize several different types of IP addresses, including private, reserved and invalid ones.
What Is an IP Address Conflict?
An IP address conflict occurs when two computers on a local network (or the Internet) have been assigned the same IP address. IP conflicts between two computers normally render either one or both of them unusable for network operations.
What is a Subnet?
A subnet is a logical grouping of connected network devices. When a subnet is properly implemented, both the performance and security of networks can be improved.
IP Tutorial - Network Numbering

Network numbers look like IP addresses but function differently. Find out how IP networks get numbered and what purpose these numbers serve.
IP Tutorial - Subnetting
Subnets allow IP networks to be subdivided for security and performance purposes. This tutorial explains how subnetting works and provides examples of subnets in practice.

Routers
-------

All wireless Internet routers might appear very much alike at first glance. In fact, many different wireless router models exist each with its own uniqueset of attributes. Use the checklist below to help decide which brand of wireless network router could work best for you.
Speed Ratings
Wireless routers typically advertise their speed in megabits per second (Mbps). Older Wi-Fi models offered 11 Mbps, mid-range 802.11g routers 54 Mbps and the latest Draft N routers claim up to 300 Mbps. You may be tempted to only look at those routers with the highest Mbps rating. However, consider that the actual performance you will achieve in practice typically averages much, much lower than the maximum rating shown on the package. Furthermore, even high speed routers cannot directly speed up your Internet connection. The extra speed boost from a faster router may not be worth the extra cost.

Rock climbing

Rock climbing
---------------
Rock climbing, broadly speaking, is the act of ascending steep rock formations. Normally, climbers use gear and safety equipment's specifically designed for the purpose. Strength, endurance, and mental control are required to cope with tough, dangerous physical challenges, and knowledge of climbing techniques and the use of essential pieces of gear and equipment are crucial. Although much rock climbing is done outdoors nowadays many cities are home to indoor rock climbing gyms which can be formatted to match the skill level needed for outdoor climbing.

Rappelling :

Rappelling is the practice of sliding down a rope to descend a rock face. The technique was developed by climbers, but has turned into a sport of its own. Rappellers have descended some of the largest rock faces in the world using ropes up to 3,000 feet in length and weighing over 600 Lbs!

Commando Bridge :

In addition there would be internal talks and discussing on the importance of mountains the effect of our development policies on the hills and other basic natural elements.


River Crossing :

River crossing is a very handy method which is used to cross the rivers in jungles. In this activity a rope is tied over the river with the rocks on both the sides of the river. In this way the whole team can cross the river. This method requires a lot of physical input from the person.

Burma Bridge :

A Burma Bridge is essentially an expensive Teo Lines Bridge. The Burma Bridge requires more material and time to construct and therefore costs more than other similar high ropes course elements. The cosmetic and characteristic herring bone-cross ropes connecting the three parallel Burma Bridge cables to gather, are highly visible and desired by people who like that raiders-of-the-lost-ark look. These cross ropes are practically non-functional and cause time-consuming belay hassles if someone falls or decides to belayed down in the middle of the event

Tarzan Swing :

Tarzan Swing is jumping with the help of rope from one side to another. It is used in jungle to cross a pit. A rope is tied with a branch of a tree and then this activity is carried out. It is advisable to use strong ropes while doing this activity. This activity is related to physical and mental development.

Horse Riding :

Horse riding is one of the most conventional recreational uses of the alpine and sub-alpine environments. Monitoring was initiated in an established commercial horse riding area immediately adjacent to the World Heritage Area to measure the impacts of high level horse usage on the soils and vegetation. In rainforest, the amount of soil lost from the sites is less significant (35 cm of soil per 1 meter width of track), as the soil is churned and redistributed along the trampled and unstable track. Once tracks deteriorated into a quagmire in moorland, new tracks were established with several new braids occurring. The results clearly show that current levels of commercial horse riding cannot be sustained without track hardening.


HIKING EQUIPMENT

Hiking equipment is gear or equipment that one takes along on an outdoors hiking trip. While hiking is considered different from backpacking (overnight camping), the equipment is of necessity of a shorter term more practical nature for such a walk. However even for a day trip it is prudent to pack at least rudimentary solutions for eventualities that may arise including being forced to stay the night, getting lost, or accidents.

Hiking equipment may be considered in several categories

* Items Worn - Things that a hiker wears on the hiking trip. This may include footwear, clothing, head gear, etc.
* Carrying Items - Backpacks, waist packs, walking sticks or staffs, etc.
* Essential gear - Items that are essential for the hike safety or necessary in potential emergency situations.
* Food and drink - Food items to consume as snacks, lunch, or in emergencies.
* Optional Items - Any other items that the hiker desires to bring along including seating pads, chairs, notebooks, hammocks, and sometimes even computers.

Weight and bulk limit the amount of equipment that one can carry (particularly if one follows the principle of Leave No Trace and does not discard items on the trail). Criteria for packing an item include weight, bulk (size), number of alternative uses and the chances of each of those uses becoming apparent, weighed against the importance. For example, a whistle may seem unlikely to become necessary, but can be real life saver when it does and weighs next to nothing. Other items, like a sleeping bag, can also be important but can also be very restricting, so a simpler alternative like an extra layer of clothing might be a better idea.

First of all, one needs something to carry the equipment in. This can be simple fisherman's jacket or a day pack for short hikes, or a full backpack.
