One of my old email but definitely a good one!

AN OPEN ADVICE ABOUT CAREER DECISIONS:

Several of my staff has approached me lately about their career decisions.
I really appreciate my staff opening up to me. It is quite
reassuring to know that they’re still having second thoughts about leaving.
Here is part of the email I sent to a “confused” staff:

I have worked for more than 5 companies already so I guess you might be
correct in saying I have had considerable experience about leaving and
moving on. I will not stop you nor tell you to leave, though of course it
will be better if you stay. In any career decision, leaving or staying I
believe, based from my personal experiences and as an HR professional,
should only be done for the right reasons.

For one, you shouldn’t leave because you don’t like several people in the
company, nor should you stay because of the friends you have made
here. At the end of the day, it is your life. Your friends or “enemies”
should not make or break your career. If you let them be the deciding
factor, then maybe you should think twice. You are the craftsman of your
fate and the captain of your ship. Captain Hook shouldn’t be one of your
worries!

Do not leave nor stay because of the “brand” of your company. If that was
the case, I would have rushed off and sign my JO in “C”! Ask
yourself whether you want to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish
in a bigger pond. Know your priorities. Only you can answer that.

Do not leave the company because you’re so damn frustrated about the way
things are being run, or stay because you have this “messianic
complex” that you can change things overnight. Be realistic about the
things. Learn to accept that there is no perfect company. Be accepting
that change is a slow and painful process at times and be thankful that you
realize and act on things that can be changed and improved.
Definitely, do not leave or stay just because your parents want you to. I
know I am advocating obedience to parents but again, we are talking
about YOUR career. But learn to value their wisdom and discern well.

Money isn’t everything. The package being offered now might be better but
look at the long-term prospects. Do not leave or stay just
solely on the compensation package. Look for growth prospects and review
their career plans for you. Your immediate gains today might actually be a
loss a few years from now if you do the Math.

Boredom is another challenge all professionals are faced with during lull
periods in their career. Do not leave because you have become so
bored with your job. Do not stay either because you want things as they
are. Change is inevitable in any organization. Talk to your boss. Ask for
more responsibilities or other tasks if you’re bored. Enroll in a special
course. If you’re satisfied with the status quo and is just waiting for
retirement hoping things will stay the same, you’re in for a big
disappointment – either you will be forced to change or you will be forced
to leave. Be ready before that time comes. Boredom or complacency is a
perennial battle most professionals have to deal with. Arm yourself with
creativity everyday!

Tonight I suggest you rest well. Sit still and listen to what He is saying.
PRAY. I have always made my career decisions through His guidance.
He was and still is my Career Adviser/Talent Manager. Your work, our work,
is a vocation. He knows us more than we know ourselves so trust Him for
whatever plans He has for you. You can never go wrong.

And remember: Use your head to get to the top. But use your heart to stay.

As i was cleaning my emails, i found this sweet message that i gave to April during our 3rd year anniversary. I just found this on the net. Sent last Tuesday, September 05, 2006 7:23 PM for our Sept 06 anniv.

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Happy Anniversary!

J I. D

When you DECIDED to love, ALLOW it to grow.
When you PROMISE to love, REFUSE to let it go.
Love is a PAINFUL risk to take,
Only LOVE makes you cry,
and ONLY love knows WHY.

FINDING MORE LARGE FILES

To find out the large files
on a file system.

find / -xdev -size +1024 -exec ls -al {} \; | sort -r -k 5

The command fuser is very handy when you want to know which processes or users have a file open. Its basic syntax is:

/etc/fuser -u /usr/my_application/foo

You must enter the file’s full path name, as shown above.

The fuser command is located under the /etc directory on HP-UX, AIX and SCO flavors. You must login as root to use it.

Its output is a raw list of processes id numbers and users login names.

Please refer to your Unix man pages to find more about this useful command.

The following alias will list just the directories in a directory and not other ordinary files. It will 
list a directory as a directory even if the directory is a symbolic link.

alias dir=’ls -Lla|grep ^d’
              
Without the capital “L” in this alias the alias will not list directories that are symbolic links.

Ever needed to know how many processors you have and what speed their running at on your Solaris system?  

Just run the command “prtdiag” from the directory /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin. Add a “-v” for even more info about power supply and power/cpu fans.

-bash-3.00$ /usr/sbin/prtdiag -v

For Solaris use:

ifconfig -a | grep “inet” |  grep -v “127.0.0.1″ | awk ‘{print $2;}’

Sample

-bash-3.00$ /sbin/ifconfig -a | grep “inet” |  grep -v “127.0.0.1″ | awk ‘{print $2;}’

10.221.224.55

For HP-UX use:

ifconfig foo | grep “inet” | awk ‘{print $2;}’

Where foo is the interface, generally lan0, lan1 etc.
