The Best Endorsement I have ever got

So here it is I asked one of my former employers for an Endorsement on linkedIn and as I have always expected some superb sense of humor from this person he again came up with this brilliant reply. Finally I stuck with the second one as this goes on LinkedIn where there are a lot of people with lower humor quotient and they might not understand the true meaning of this one.

Overall it was the best and the most honest opinions I have heard about myself from one of the most awesome person I have ever worked with.

Dear Shub,

I will gladly give you an endorsement. The fact that you are actively asking for one shows that you are worth one and additionally I have formed an opinion, - or two, of you. I will allow you to have some influence on the endorsement.

I have two alternatives for you to choose from and of course you can suggest amendments to either of these:
Alternative 1.
Mr. Shubhanshu is an arrogant, rude and outspoken young man who does not show any respect for people with power, influence and experience. He is outspoken and expresses willingly his opinions to anyone without considering the context and consequences. His sharp brain and his designer skills save his ass.

The 5 Minute MBA Course


I was reading the blog of my friend today when I came across this really interesting post about some basic life facts. I loved it so much that I am copying it as it is here on my own blog as well hope you all with get the morals of all the fables.

Lesson 1
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him,
“Can I also sit like you and do nothing?”
The eagle answered: “Sure , why not.”
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a
sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 2
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
“I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree’ sighed the turkey, ‘but I haven’t got the energy.”
“Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?’ replied the bull. They’re packed with nutrients.”
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Its been a long time since I wrote a blog post. Well I was busy with far too many exciting things in life which required me to cherish them more rather to document them at that time. I have a good memory so I preferred the first option. I wrote my last blog on my CEEDership in NUS, an AIESEC Experience that was my first major involvement with AIESEC before that I was recruited in October 2008 in this amazing organization's local chapter at IIT Kharagpur to just some global experience in my otherwise nerdy life but again I continued to wok here as well as a technical support staff.
