These experiences lead you to become a good boss, and also help you to look from your subordinate’s perspective.

Here are few steps you could take, which will help you to become a good boss.

• A boss is not a cadre. But rather a person of authority who has the power to entrust responsibilities to those working under him.

A good boss should allot work to his subordinates, and also teach them to complete the job given in their hands. This is the first sign of a good boss.

• As a boss, you should never wear the attitude of a boss. It could be very detrimental to your career. Good boss knows the value of collecting opinions, and then making a choice. A good boss should also have an attitude of being acceptable. The more acceptable you are it is likely that you would command more respect.

Facebook announces its shutdown - is it true?

Updated

Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg has announced that he is going to shut down Facebook in the month of March. The news had come as a shocker to many of the facebook users who have made facebook their second home.

Some of the users spend almost 12 hours on the site, chatting with friends, connecting and sharing their world and even making new friends.

But why would Mark take such a hasty decision, when facebook is doing so well. The site is reported to be valued at around $8 billion. Mark Zuckerberg says that he has become tired of maintaining the site.

The news have originated from a weekly world news.

It’s not easy to maintain a site, which is considered as the most trafficked site after Google. The technical department of Facebook has issued a statement asking its users to remove all the items which they want to, before the deadline date of March 15th.

Facebook users won’t be able to use the site again, after March 15th.

Many parents around the globe might well be satisfied with the facebook closure, but the long list of users would certainly find difficult to live without the most popular social networking site.

According to Mark Zuckerberg,” the stress of maintaining the site had taken toll on him”. He wants to put facebook to rest to the embarrassment of millions of facebook users.

Now, it seems that facebook users may well have to find an alternative if facebook closure reports are found true, which is highly unlikely.

Note: a call had been put to Facebook office, and they have said that facebook closure reports are not true.

Indian Government ordered coins below 50p to make an exit

The Government of India has ordered the coins below 50p to make an exit from the Indian market. The decision has been taken by the government due to inflation in the Indian market. The inflation has made the existence of small change futile.

The coins are expected to exit by 30th June 2011.

Though, in big cities around the country, small changes are hardly being used.Still, small coins are used occasionally in smaller villages and towns in India.

There are still hidden facts, which propelled the government to arrive at such a decision.

Reasons why government of India ordered small coins to exit

Indian coins are made with stainless steel, and these can be melted to make razor blades. Take this example. A 5 rupees coin can be melted and 6 blades could be made out of it. One blade would be sold at Rs2.50 which means that a 5 rupees coin is converted to Rs 15, and profit of worth Rs 10.

Now these blades are smuggled out of the country to places such as Myanmar, Bangladesh and even to Nepal. The government was bent on checking this kind of smuggling, and therefore a decision to peg down such illegal smuggling was taken.

Moreover, the larger cities are not willing to accept such small coins. It was in the best interests that the government had decided to exit the change below 50p coins.
