Do you remember a scene on the movie Die Hard 4.0, when John Mcain is doing surveilance on his daughter and then suddenly his captain beeped, asking his favor to pick up the hacer kid that was going to the start of one hell of adventure?

Do you remember the captain saying, I know you’re John, pick up please. And John asked, how do you know, and the captain told Mcain that they have bug his car, or they have put a GPS tracking device in his car.

GPS tracking device is almost to be found in the movie of Die Hard 4.0. The highway scene when the lovely Maggie Q direct the police car, and ended it up in a terrible mess.

Whatever the used seems to be that the GPS tracking device have both sides of the sword. On one side it is useful, and on the other hand the use on the wrong hand could be fatal. There are always worries when human depend their life to technology.

I don’t know about you guys, but we gotta keep an eye on the use of technology.

Another use of GPS tracking device is on the movie of Too Fast Too Furious where Brian O’conner or Paul Walker decided to pull the bug out of his car so he can go deeper with his undercover.

S-M-A-R-T

S is for Spesific. You have to know spesificly the detail of your marketing. If you make a plan go to the deepest detail out of it. How or when you are going to execute it. This is why important to keep record to all your files and plans. Have a backup plan if the original plan is not working.

M is for Measurable. You have to set a measurable number of target. The marketing target has to be not an absurd number. It must be real number, so you can measure the success of your campaign.

A is for achievable. Don’t ever make a not impossible number. The target number must be an achievable number. But don’t be stubborn too. Whenever you miss the target make a quick evaluation, make the number bigger or smaller.

R is for Result Oriented. Not the process but the result, this is important too. Many people set their target to the process and not the result. The result expected is supposed to be number.

T is for Time Limit. Set a time limit to your target. One month, one year, one day, or whatever time length you feel apropriate.

Knowledge is defined (Oxford English Dictionary) variously as expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Plato’s formulation of knowledge as “justified true belief”. There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories.

We learn from from ancient history that ancient people have great knowledge and wisdom. From Socrates and Plato to modern philosopher like Descartes. We honor them for the knowledge they posess and the wisdom they share to us.

There are many ways to improve our knowledge. We can go to school or campus, or we can surf on the internet, or anything. As a blogger, to keep improving knowledge is essential. That is why to join Blog Forums would certainly helpful.

Many blog forums offer great tips, solutions, problem solving, yet so many great features, like freebies, or even rewards. One is thoughts.com.
