WEEK IN BRIEF: 23-28 May, 2011

Quote for the Week:

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars.”- Les Brown

How many times have you felt discouraged when you failed at achieving your goal even after you put in your best efforts at it? It’s like all your energy has been drained out and you have no willpower left in you. But look at the bright side of failure. It’s not like you didn’t give a shot at it or that you haven’t tried hard enough. You have taken a step forward and have reached at least a bit closer to your goal. The important thing is that you give your 100% so that you can achieve at least a 95%. So always aim high, because all your efforts are worth it.

It seems Munnar is turning out to be one of most sought after tour destinations for IPSRians.Earlier in February, a group of IPSRians including some former employees had toured the place and had a great time. It was indeed a memorable get together for them. Last Sunday a few IPSRians of the Career Centre and Business Development Team took a break to chill out at this picturesque hill station. They took time to visit some of the best tourist sites there and had a great trip. The pics below illustrate the breathtaking beauty of the place with its great misty scenery and endless tea plantations. Have a look!

WEEK IN BRIEF: 9-14 May, 2011

Quote for the Week:

“Time and tide waits for no man” –English proverb

Time is the scale using which we measure longevity. It denotes our past, present and future. Time is considered so indispensable that the modern world believes that ‘time is money’. Even a second has a value in every endeavour undertaken. Time is also a factor that controls the pace of every task. See how TIME controls our world! The passing of time can be compared with the coming in and out of the tides. Just like a tide which comes and goes, time passed cannot be brought back. So use your time wisely and get the best out of it.

News @ IPSR:

• Reneesh.A-CCIE:

Yes that’s right! Mr.Reneesh.A-Head of the Cisco division of IPSR has become a CCIE now. He had been working hard for the past few months to crack the CCIE exam and reaching the pinnacle of the Cisco certifications. It has definitely increased the sheen of the Cisco division which is preparing to catapult to an even higher track record in the coming days. This will surely be an inspiration for the next batch of CCIE aspirants including a few members of the IPSR Cisco faculty crew too. Another candidate Mr.Anurag who is also a former IPSR employee had also attempted the CCIE exam and has passed. This makes a total of five CCIEs passing out from IPSR.
A special congrats to Mr.Reneesh for this big win! May many more such wins come to the Router Dome!

WEEK IN BRIEF: 1-8 May, 2011

Quote for the Week:

“No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you- life.”

Mother’s Day honors and celebrates motherhood and the love that they give their children. On this day people usually give gifts to their mothers as a token of their love. But don’t you think that just giving gifts to your mothers is far less than what they have done for us? Consider the sacrifices they have been doing for us while bringing us up..looking after all our needs without any shortfalls, even though they had many other matters to attend to..Mere gifts won’t be enough for all that. So what can we give them in return? Our TIME. We can spend a day with them, talk with them for a while or even give them a hug…this is all they might need to know that you love them.

By the way, Mother’s Day is coming up on this Sunday, 8th of May. Guess now you will know how to celebrate.
