| Article Title :: Are You Putting Off Productivity? |
| |
| I recently took a good look at what was keeping me from accomplishing what I needed to do. After all, I had my goals. I had them written down. I read my affirmations daily. And still, I was not achieving what I wanted to do.
Leaving town was a major undertaking. And that's not good when you're a professional speaker! I need to be able to leave at a moment's notice and arrive ready to give my full attention to my audience. So it was time for a look at what was holding me back. Here's what I found.

| Article Title :: How To Search Your PC With Google Desktop |

| In this era of Internet, most people are frequent users of
computers. Many of us use computers through out the day,
accumulating morasses of information in various formats, which
include email, digital photo, word document, spreadsheet,
presentation file, ebook, article, other downloaded files,
music, visited web pages, and many others. We stuff them in

| Article Title :: Cisco CCNA Cerfication: Should You Take The One-Exam or Two-Exam Approach? |
| |
| Cisco CCNA Certification:Should you take the one-exam or the two-exam approach?One question I’m often asked by CCNA candidates is whether to take the “one big exam”, or take the two separate exams required by Cisco to achieve the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam.The question comes up because there are now two separate paths to the CCNA certification. Candidates may take a single exam, 640-811, or two exams, 640-821 and 640-811.What’s the difference?

| Article Title :: A Peek Into the Near Future of Electronics Technology |

Many of us can hardly remember life before DVDs. That can be attributed to how rapidly we can become acclimated to some innovations in electronics technology. I believe there are other electronics technologies, either just getting ready to take off, not widely available yet, or just around the corner, that are going to become adopted just as quickly in the near future.Once such item is Voice over Internet Protocol, also known as VoIP. This innovation renders the whole concept of long distance virtually obsolete. (read full article) |
