Finished Reading 100 Quotation/Principle of all time : Lovely Leadership Quotes
This book is really nice and simple. It contains great quotations of the qualities that leader has. It is categorized well. I think everybody should go through the list once. Each one is jewel in itself.
Some of my favorites are as below:
Many people have ideas on how others should change; few people have ideas on how they should change. = Leo Tolstoy
The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. = Niccolo Machiavelli
There’s nothing more demoralizing than a leader who can’t clearly articulate why we’re doing what we’re doing. = James Kouzes and Barry Posner
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself. = Robert E. Lee
A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not afraid to approach him for any reason. = Harold Geneen
Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works too. = Robert Half
You do not lead by hitting people over the head—that’s assault, not leadership. = Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. = Karl Popper
Lead and inspire people. Don’t try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be led. = Ross Perot
In order to make a fire burn, you fan the live coals. In order to keep your organization fired up, it’s imperative that you find and motivate the leaders or potential leaders in your organization regardless of how far down the line they might be. = Dexter Yager
Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy. = Saadi Shirazi
And Many More… Beautiful book…worth reading. 10/10.
Send SMS through Bluetooth or Serial Port
Just came across one requirement of sending SMS through Bluetooth or serial port. Actually when you connect any bluetooth USB to the pc, that program should have installed the model related to Bluetooth. I got that as follow:
Now, Download the microsoft SMS Sender application from following URL:
Run and Install it. When you run it, it will show the following screen:
Whatever model devices are there, it will be available for the selection. Once it is selected, write destination number and body and send the SMS. If you device ( Phone) is connected to the bluetooth, SMS will be delivered from your phone. Currently I believe only Nokia and Sony is supported by this application. I haven’t tested on other Phone.
The main thing is that, this application also support COMMAND LINE INTERFACE. So that you can use this application in your code to send the SMS through some port or bluetooth. wow!!!. Following are the command line option to send the SMS.
Invalid DOS Path in VSS when you try to login Newly Created Database
I had strange problem just now. Creating VSS new database and then login to that database gives me error
Invalid DOS Path X:\YZ\Users\ss.ini
This error is due to following reason:
The Admin program cannot find the Template.ini, a template for the Ss.ini. When a new user is added, the Admin program creates a directory for the user. It also creates a user file, Ss.ini, which contains default settings for this particular user. The Admin program uses the Template.ini file to create the Ss.ini file. If the Template.ini file is not in the Users directory, the error "File Not Found" is displayed.

Abstract Classes Vs. Interface – Why and When
As you know the difference between abstract class and interface, sometimes I wonder what to use in project.
Abstract Classes is similar to interface but might be with implementation.
Interface is without implementation, just interface or virtual methods.
As per my understanding, it is can-do or is-do relationship. Like, from .NET framework, there are many interface like IComparer, ISortable etc. So, it is something like, classes derived from the interface CAN-DO these things.
But if the abstract class is CompareBase and if you are deriving classes from this class named TestCompare, then you can say that TestCompare IS DOing CompareBase.
Actually, you can find awkward but if you think over it, you can get this concept easily. Also, when you are deriving from multiple inheritance, you can say like, this class CAN DO this and CAN DO that etc.
Hope You Getting This
