Thank You for your phone calls and sms on 13-Nov-09. I knew some of you called me and sms today but I apologize for not able to pick the call because I was involved in project improvement training for a SME until 8 pm. By the time I called back, your office were closed.
Some of you asked email me why am I not take life easy for my retirement? Why am I still want to pursue my Total Quality Management ? I have a ex-colleague called to offer me a job to set up 6-sigma style improvement section in her bank, another ex-colleague asked me to help her to set up a community blog, another ex-colleague asked me whether I want to join him in China etc Wow ! So nice of you. I am so touch that you still consider a retired person with such a challenging job. I am so pleased because I could see my true friends who tried to offer me something of value to me as well as to the their organization.
I believe all these well wishes are a result of my KNOWLEDGE. Now I begin to appreciate one saying which I heard many years ago. It says:-
" Man can get old and die, but KNOWLEDGE remains"
I could not appreciate this saying then as I could not understand how KNOWLEDGE remains when a man is no longer in this world? But now I think hard about it, KNOWLEDGE will remain in this world if you store and keep it soon enough.
Before the Internet millennium, knowledge are stored in the form of books, leaflets, etc and get accessible in the library, own home. But now, you can store in the cyber space and accessible to anyone one via internet. How wonderful can it be when your piece of knowledge are now widely spread around the cyper space.
Yes, I am so pleased this morning that when I did a google search on keyword "swot analysis template", I noted my swot blog appeared on position #3 just after a popular website. With this high ranking position on google, I received more than 9,500 unique visitors to my blog in the last 30 days as opposed to 909 in May 2009.
With this little achievement, I know I am on the right track with the right tactics to move my blog into top 10 on google search. My next challenge is to maintain it on position top 10 so that more people benefit from my knowledge in SWOT Analysis as well as other Total Quality Management knowledge. Wow ! Is that my Legacy ?
Friends, there is nothing more satisfied in life than you could see your dream come true. I guess with the right goal and determination, anything is possible !!!
Once again, I thank all of you for your well wishes and blessing and I wish you a healthy and happiness !
