Hello Friends,

Welcome to this edition of Wavelength.

Think about it. What is it that makes you feel bright on a particular morning? Is it a good night sleep that you enjoyed the previous night? Or is it the knowledge that there is no stinking email waiting for you in your mailbox? Or, is it the fact that today you shall be marching on…into a new world where things will be different, and where you will carve a new niche for yourself?

I think that my mornings are brighter, when I’ve made my decisions for the day, the previous night. When I know what I would be doing on the day that just dawned, I feel great and alive.

I still remember that beautiful day about 10 years ago, when I resigned from one of my previous jobs. I resigned because the company that I worked with wanted me to signoff a shipment with more than 30% defective pieces. I hated that job; I hated the daily rigmarole of following up with the vendors when I had to sound nasty while talking to people who were my senior in age as well as experience! The day I resigned, I rose early suddenly realizing how beautiful the world was. I smiled all the way to work. I walked in with my head held high. I spoke with confidence, and I gave in my papers. When I walked out, I was free. I was free to pursue whatever I next chose to. I had faith in my ability to carve out a path that will take me to my cherished destination – happiness.

Then on, I decided never to allow myself to be sucked into a comfort-zone. I consciously began maintaining a diary where I would review my feelings about my work, my job. Then on, I was never again afraid of venturing out into the unknown. I had found the fountain of self-motivation. Some slices of past experiences continue to remind me of how foolhardy I was perceived to be, but I had the conviction that my decisions were right. Self-motivation is about identifying your own comfort-zones and destroying them systematically.

This month, the Mystery of the Month article, “Motivation – The Fire Within!” outlines one possible method of motivating yourself. It is the method that I follow and I assure you that it works for me.

• HIVE, CLICK, and PEARL
  Last month we introduced a small but exquisite section called “The Cognitive Excursion”. Our data informs us that this section has been received extremely well by our elite audience. Your enthusiasm has fueled the growth of this section, and so this month, we introduce PEARL, another thematic word puzzle to entertain and relax you. Now on, when you want to take a break, take a cognitive excursion with HIVE, CLICK and PEARL!
  
  
• FREE Instructional Design Orientation Workshop – April 13, 2008
  In the month of April, we shall conduct a 2-hour FREE Instructional Design Orientation (IDO) workshop. If you know someone who is interested in finding out more about instructional design, recommend Wavelength’s FREE instructional design workshop to them. This FREE workshop shall be conducted from 3PM to 5PM on April 13, 2008. As the seats are limited, please register early to book your seat.
  
  
• IDCWC Online and IDSP Online
  Registrations for the 9th session of the IDCWC Online shall open soon. If you are interested in enrolling for the IDCWC Online course, please contact us at idcwconline [at] vibrantwavelength [dot] com with your queries.

  The registrations for July – August 2008 session of the IDSP Online are also on. If you want to register for the course, please write to us at idsponline [at] vibrantwavelength [dot] com

  If you are wondering whether IDSP Online is the course for you, ask yourself the following two questions:
  1. Do I wish to oversee content creators and NOT create content myself?
  2. Am I comfortable with hands-on content creation?

The IDCWC Contact session and the ActionScript 2.0 Developer Certificate (ASDC) (for which classes are conducted at Wavelength, Noida) shall begin on April 20, 2008. If you wish to enroll for any of our contact courses, please call us at 9810324284.

I wish you all a lush green, lively future.

Thanks and Warm Regards,
Shafali
