If you are doing an online business, you must understand that you need customers to buy your products or the services that you are providing. Therefore, traffic generation is one of the most important key to a successful business. Generating traffic simply means getting people to come to your website to see what you have to offer. The more traffic you have, the more customers you can end up with

Hahaha, here is a funny joke that i came across from a joke website. it is actually very relevant to what we see everyday.  It jokes about working evironment of a typical businessman everyday.

1. Use computers to look busy. Any time you use a computer, it looks like work to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, calculate your finances and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren’t exactly the societal benefits that everybody from the computer revolution expected but they’re not bad either. When you get caught by your boss–and you will get caught–your best defense is to claim you’re teaching yourself to use the new software, thus saving valuable training dollars. You’re not a loafer, you’re a self-starter. Offer to show your boss what you learned. That will make your boss scurry away like a frightened salamander.

2. Never walk down the hall without a document in your hands. People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they’re heading for the cafeteria. People with the newspaper in their hands look like they’re heading for the bathroom. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do.

3. Voice mail. Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don’t call you just because they want to give you something for nothing– they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That’s the way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour. That way, you’re hardworking and conscientious even though you’re being a devious weasel. If you diligently employ the method of screening incoming calls and then returning calls when nobody is there, this will greatly increase the odds that they will give up or look for a solution that doesn’t involve you. The sweetest voice mail message you can ever hear is “Ignore my last message. I took care of it.” If your voice mailbox has a limit on the number of messages it can hold, make sure you reach that limit frequently. One way to do that is to never erase any incoming messages. If that takes too long, send yourself a few messages. Your callers will hear a recorded message that says, “Sorry, this mailbox is full”–a sure sign that you are a hardworking employee in high demand.

4.Messy desk. Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like you’re not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year’s work looks the same as today’s work; it’s volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you’ll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.

My favorite basketball player of all time Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963) was hailed “By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.” as stated in the NBA (National Basketball Association) website. His unique ability of hanging in the air gave him the nickname ‘Air Jordan’. A retired professional basketball player and business man is now one of the wealthiest celebrities. According to Forbes, he ranks number 18^th.

Michael Jordan owns his own product line and the Jordan Brand is now an $800 million a year (in sales) business for Nike—and the royalty checks from that provide the bulk of Jordan’s income. Now he’s head of basketball operations for the Charlotte Bobcats.

I would just like to talk about Jordan because he is such a successful player in his time and is one of the legends. People will all think that he was always successful and have no setbacks in life. However, nobody is perfect and I just love this quote that he made

‘I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.’
Michael Jordan

I still remember the days where I use to wake up early in the morning to watch the live NBA games with my brother. We will have a ‘long breakfast’ and sit in front of our TV the whole morning.
