Inspiration thoughts : Million Dollar Less

By : Peter Parker

Well,I have gone through a inspirational story through a website which inspired me.Just want to share the stories I read to u all.Credits are given to the author who wrote this.Shall the removal of this thread upon request is greatly regretted.

A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.

I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.

The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. 

Well! I looked around for a "Candid Camera!" Wouldn't you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell."

"You bet," he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be.

 

I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver. 

One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer's expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'"

Did I tip him big time? You bet! Corporate America's loss is the traveling folk's friend! 

Lessons

1. Go an Extras Mile when providing any Service to others.
2. There is no good or bad job.You can make any job good.
3. Good service always brings good return.

What gaming rig can buy for RM2300?

I got a recommendation from LYN, thanks to kingkingyyk for suggesting me a gaming rig at RM2300 which I can get as below: ^_^

1. Phenom II X4  955- RM454
2. CM Hyper TX3 Cooler- RM69
3. Asus M477TD- RM255
4. KVR 2x2Gb DDR3- RM228
5. MSI GTX460 1Gb DDR5 Cyclone-RM719
6. Samsung SpinPoint F3 1Tb- RM174
7. Silverstone ST50F 500W PSU-RM219
8. CM Elite/Thermaltake V3Casing-RM 140

          TOTAL- RM 2258


With the high end GC I think there is no problem to play Far Cry 2,StarCraft 2. I heard that Phenom II X6 is not so good for gaming and Phenonm II X4 is better.Furthermore,I have requested a quotation from my hometown PC shop, it is impossible to get such a good price with high end graphic card due to less competitor here.I will decide later whether to buy the rig now or later..Saving money now..Hmm...WD harddisk 1Tb costs about RM190 if not mistaken,however, Samsung hdd F3 model get a good review for better performance among all its rival including Hitachi and Seagate with the same amount of 1Tb harddisk space.=).

Any suggestion value for money around the price shown above and better performing rig is welcome. =).Above specs is for budget gaming rig.If you have more $ can go for Intel Core i7 920.^^

CPU suddenly shutdown

I tried to replace CMOS battery of my cpu few days ago.When I opened up the casing, I saw lotsa dust sticking to the CPU fan,GC fan and also HSF.I tried to clean up after I replaced the new battery.FYI, there are few types of lithium battery(CR2032 model 20 means 20 nominal diameter and 32 means 3.2mm height and CR means lithium).Ooops,out of topic already..T_T.

After replacing the battery,I try to reboot.To my surprise, it auto shut down right after finished loading BIOS and sometimes it just halfway loading BIOS.I thought it was processor overheat.However,later I got to know that I need to reset the jumper.Totally forget what I did last time(jumper also forget to reset =_=).One more thing is that my HSF was loosen.This was due to I disassembled all the components to clean my CPU but the HSF( heat sink fan ) was not properly assembled back.I almost gave up after I tried few times to unplug every single cables and reassembled all the components.Luckily I didn't give up that early.Now everything is going fine.

Conclusion is that, make sure all components are assembled back in a proper manner especially HSF as it causes the CPU to auto shut down if it is not properly assembled.=)
