"In the zone"

Have been thinking about this for a while. For a problem to be solved in the best possible way, one needs to let go of everything else, such as :

1. What happens if I don't do this job good?
2. What happens if I do this job good?
3. How can I make this job the most profitable for me?
4. How do I make sure I get visible for this particular problem that I solved or will solve?
5.. and so on.

I don't know but a lot of people seem to approach to a problem while thinking about all or some of the above points, which are just distractions from the main problem. The more you think about these, the less you think about the problem in hand and the less chance for you to solve it.

For solving a problem, I feel you need to just let go of all other surrounding stuff and in some cases even your own personal ego and past experience, and just focus on the problem. I think, then and only then you get to the best solution and other things take care of themselves automatically. This is the ideal state of mind so that all your mind works towards the problem and the best solution is bound to occur to you.

I suppose all great achievers work like this. In cricket, this is called being "in the zone". There are days when a batsman or bowler can do no wrong. His performance is so intense and so focused, that he always looks in the utmost control however bad the situation is.

The key to great accomplishments is to be "in the zone" as much as you can without any distractions.

Get Invites to Invite-only sites fast

So, a new cool site has been launched in beta and there is a lot of hype around it. EVERYBODY wants to register there and see it in action.

But sadly, it is invite-only and you would need to wait for ur invite till the hype dies down and everybody you know is already using it!!

No worries, now there is a solution. InviteShare is a site where people having invites can share them and people needing invites can request them. It includes 42 new invite-only sites such as Moola, Pownce, Joost and more..

Enjoy!!! :)

Update : Just found that the site is under maintenance now..:(. But I don't mind waiting. It would be well worth it..:)

AGLOCO ..Does it work??

Not sure if this works but am trying my luck.. :) Let's see what happens.


I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBCM8719
