How to give Presentation Like Steve Jobs

How to give Presentation Like Steve Jobs

Five tips to give presentations, the Steve Jobs style


Do you get clammy hands and cold feet at the thought of making an office presentation? During such times, remember that you are a confident speaker and presenter since you are doing this every moment of your life.

Steve Jobs was always famous for his style of presentations, at any Apple event. Here are five tips you can focus on to make a Jobs style presentation:

1) Prepare like a billion dollars


Each Apple product was designed to bring in billions in revenue. Steve Jobs knew that his keynote presentations were a vital part of the marketing plan to bring in sales.

He planned and practised to make the presentation worth a billion dollars.

2) Be a storyteller...

...not a presenter. Jobs was a master story teller during his presentations. He would create a problem, obstacles, hero and, finally, a grand solution.

The show would become a Hollywood style entertainer and the audience would walk away enthralled.

3) Capture the individual...

... and hold his attention completely. Jobs' keynote presentations would be short, each segment not lasting more than 10 minutes.

A single message would hold it together. The editing would be sharp, not permitting the individual to lose focus for a moment.

4) Stitch it up

Do not rely on the audience to follow the thread of the story. Jobs would break his presentation into two or three major points.

At each stage, he would pause, remind the audience of the story structure and 'connect the dots' to make it easy for them.

5) Get them high

Jobs would conclude his presentation with 'one more thing', and introduce a new product, software or feature, which would amaze the audience and make them exit on a high.

A person rarely remembers the speaker's words, but always the final emotion.

How to make a presentation

Here are some tips to make presntations:

> Give what audience wants & kill the bullet points

> Stick to paper, pencil & pictures - Simple words, single theme

> Use a mirror to rehearse

> Headlines and visuals - Work on creating a single headline for your entire presentation.

> Pepper it with enthusiasm

Ten Things You Should Not Say at Work Place

Ten Things You Should Not Say at Work Place

You are free to give someone a piece of your mind while at home. However, when it comes to your workplace, better mind your words because even an off-the-cuff remark of yours can not only spoil your relationship with your boss or coworkers, but can also sometimes put you in trouble.

"In today's day and age, undoubtedly we spend most of our time at work. However, it does not mean that we keep our guards down and say whatever comes to mind. In fact, most organisations work on the philosophy that words are the best representatives of a person's personality. Therefore, we should always avoid saying something which can put us in a bad light at our workplace," says Deepak Kaistha, managing partner, Planman Consulting.

Here's a list of things you must avoid saying at work:

1. "This isn't my job!"

Everyone gets approached to do things that are not part of their defined role. If someone asks you to help him out, consider it a testimony to your capabilities.

"Unless you are completely getting off focus, going beyond the etched boundaries of your role will only earn you good merit with your boss and colleagues," says Ashish Arora, founder & MD, HR Anexi.

No need to explain, therefore, why you should always avoid saying things like, "This isn't my job!"

2. "It's not my fault"

Sure, it is not. But saying it this way makes you seem more narrow minded and less of a team player. Call it an 'issue' instead of a 'fault'. Rather than saying you were not responsible for it, point out what you believe caused it.

Then, not only does it become obvious that you were not responsible for it, but it shifts everyone's attention to the root cause of the issue and what needs to be done to resolve it.

"In the fast-paced culture of corporates, there is no space for slackers. If you did something that created a negative impact, have the courage to except your fault instead of putting the blame to someone. Bosses usually like people who take full ownership for a deed done," informs Udit Mittal, founder & MD, Unison International.

3. "I'll try"

You certainly will, but it is better not to say just that when you are accepting the task. If you are unsure of whether you will be successful, say instead, "Thank you. I'll let you know how this goes."

"Saying 'I'll try' can also mentally limit you somewhere from giving the work your best shot. If you say something more positive and specific, it creates a better impression of your efforts with the listener. Then, even if you fail despite your best efforts, the person will appreciate that you actually did try," says Arora.

4. "There's nothing else I can do"

If you are saying this after trying everything for success, it could still sound reasonable. But if you are giving up even before trying, or somewhere mid course, it makes you seem less committed and enthusiastic.

"If, after trying everything, you really do believe that you cannot do anything more, it might be better to say, 'I've tried all of these options, but we're still not making it because of this (reason). Please suggest what else I can do to resolve this issue'," says Arora.

5. "That's impossible"

There's nothing impossible when you have your heart and mind to it.

"Saying that's impossible shows that you are ruling out any way of doing a thing, and if your boss thinks there is a way to do it, there probably is. You just need to change your way of looking at it," says Mittal.

6. "That is so unfair"

Do not play the victim. If you feel something is not fair - and it is not in quite a few cases in the workplace - explain why it is the wrong approach. "Turn your emotions into conviction, not complaint. Reason with people and bring them to see your point of view," says Arora.

Also, if your colleague, for instance, gets a raise and you don't, if he gets recognition and you don't, never say it's not fair or that's unacceptable. "It shows a huge negative impact on your behavior and attitude and makes you look like a person who always cribs," explains Mittal.

7. "I told you so"

Your worry may have come true, but it will not help to keep reminding the sufferer so. Instead of adding to the person's distress, offer to help to clear the mess. You never know who you might need in the future.

You will be doing this person a genuine favour, and in return, he will always be grateful to you.

8. "I did the same thing he did, why am I wrong?"

This is a common mistake people do. The reason why you are hired is because you are different.

If you are doing the same thing someone else does, that person could have easily done what you are doing and you would not hired at all.

9. "Please listen to me!"

If you have to beg others to listen to you, it may seem like you have nothing important to say.

Cut through the noise with a compelling statement, like, "I have a different proposition." or "I know just why this won't work." Within a few moments, your message will sink in - the noise will stop, and people will straighten up and listen to you.

10. "I'm quitting this company right now!"

Whether or not you mean it, giving your manager or others this ultimatum will never lead to any real glory for you. At best, others may perceive that you are very frustrated with your environment, and do not know how else to deal with it than by threatening to quit.

"At worst, you may be taken seriously, and this reckless comment may speed your way out of the organization before you truly want it," says Arora.

Intra day trading by using pivot points

Using pivot points as a trading strategy has been around for a long time and was originally used by floor traders. This was a nice simple way for floor traders to have some idea of where the market was heading during the course of the day with only a few simple calculations.

The pivot point is the level at which the market direction changes for the day. Using some simple arithmetic and the previous days high, low and close, a series of points are derived. These points can be critical support and resistance levels. The pivot level, support and resistance levels calculated from that are collectively known as pivot levels.

Every day the market you are following has an open, high, low and a close for the day. This information basically contains all the data you need to use pivot points.The reason pivot points are so popular is that they are predictive as opposed to lagging.

Because so many traders follow pivot points you will often find that the market reacts at these levels. This give you an opportunity to trade.

If the market opens above the pivot point then the bias for the day is long trades. If the market opens below the pivot point then the bias for the day is for short trades.

The three most important pivot points are R1, S1 and the actual pivot point.

The general idea behind trading pivot points are to look for a reversal or break of R1 or S1. By the time the market reaches R2,R3 or S2,S3 the market will already be overbought or oversold and these levels should be used for exits rather than entries.

A perfect set would be for the market to open above the pivot level and then stall slightly at R1 then go on to R2. You would enter on a break of R1 with a target of R2 and if the market was really strong close half at R2 and target R3 with the remainder of your position.

If, after starting the day above the Pivot, the Price crosses back through the Pivot, the Pivot will act as a Resistance area. Pivot Points and Support and Resistance levels behave exactly like any historical Support and Resistance level.

Unfortunately life is not that simple and we have to deal with each trading day the best way we can.Combine these with simple channeling, retracement levels, past critical supports & resistances, SAR will enhance the success rate.
Pivot Points - Trading Methodology:
To make the discussion a bit less abstract, let's take a most superficial look at some simple trading methodology employing Pivot Points.
Step 1
"In general, if the day's Price Action starts above the Pivot, it will tend to stay above the Pivot.
This simple observation provides the basic rules for two of the simplest Pivot trading systems.
System 1:
Open is above Pivot: Buy
Open is below Pivot: Sell
System 2:
Place Buy and Sell stops bracketing the Pivot. Whichever is not filled acts as safety stop for the other.
These "systems" are very much too raw for my tastes. Too much chance of getting whipsawed. Let's take it one step deeper. Let's refine these simple systems just a bit more:
Step 2
First Fundamental Of Pivot Trading After the opening range (first 15-30 min. to one hour), if price is above/below the Pivot, Price Action will strongly tend to remain above/below the Pivot for the session.
Although this rule bids us to wait out the Opening Range and thus avoid much of the wildness and whipsawing, overlooking the next Fundamental Of Pivot Trading could be disastrous:
Step 3
If the market opens, or later trades at the extremes (R2, R3 or S2, S3), it will exhibit a tendency to trade back toward the Pivot. Thus, the general rule, 'Avoid buying the High or selling the Low', becomes increasingly more stringent as price moves farther from the Pivot.

Google Nexus 7 Vs iPad mini Vs Galaxy Tab 2 3100


FeaturesGoogle Nexus 7Apple iPad miniSamsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100) Verdict
Processor1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, which includes a 12-core Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
Dual-core A5 processor clocked at 1 GHZ
P3100 utilises OMAP 4430 dual core processor running at 1 GHz, which is aided by a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processor.The Nexus 7 processor looks far ahead of its competitors and may provide an altogether different level of gaming experience.
Screen size & resolution
1280×800 HD display which comes to 216 pixels per inch (ppi)
1024×768 pixels making it around 163 ppi for a 7.9 inch screen.
1,024×600 pixel resolution which gives 170 ppiAt 216 pixels per inch, the Nexus 7 leaves rivals way behind when it comes to screen quality.  
Weight340 grams308 grams345 gramsApple’s iPad mini clearly is the lightest tablet among the three. Besides, the build quality and aesthetics of Apple products command respect and admiration across the world.
MemoryThe Google Nexus 7 has 16 GB internal storage of which only 13-14 GB will be available to users.The iPad mini starts at Rs 21,900 for a 16 GB WiFi only version.The Samsung tablet comes with 16 GB internal storage along with a micro SD card slot for storage expandable up to 32 GB.The Samsung has natural advantage as it offers 16 GB internal storage along with micro SD card slots for expanding memory space. While iPad mini scores over the Nexus for providing cellular connectivity and enhanced internal storage on certain versions, it loses the plot with increasing price vis-a-vis Samsung.
CameraThe Nexus 7 has a 1.2-megapixel front camera. No rear camera.
The iPad mini comes with a 5 megapixel rear camera and a 1.2 megapixel front FaceTime Camera.
The P3100 comes with a 3 megapixel camera in the rear and a VGA (0.3 megapixel) camera in the front.
If a camera is a must have in your 7-inch tablet, then the Nexus 7 turns out to be a big disappointment. On the other hand, iPad mini scores with high-quality camera on both front and rear, which is a big plus in a 7-inch tablet.
Operating SystemThe Google Nexus 7 comes with the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean version.The iPad mini ships with Apple’s iOS 6.Samsung has just started pushing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update
If you are a Google/Android junkie, the Nexus 7 tablet will end up being your choice. Unlike other altered versions of the OS this one is pure Google.
BatteryThe Nexus 7 has a 4325 mAh battery which is expected to offer 8-9 hours of power on active usage.
The iPad mini offers up to 10 hours battery life on just Wi-Fi and up to 9 hours on cellular data.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100)’s 4000 mAh battery can last more than a day with normal usage.No clear winner, but it is yet to be ascertained whether Nexus 7 can live up to its claim during active game usage.

Benefits of Currency Derivative Trading


BENEFITS
  • Low Commissions – Brokerage fees are very low as the market is highly competitive.
  • No Middlemen – Standardized lot size – Futures/Options currency trading does away with the middlemen and allows clients to interact directly on the exchange platform.
  • Standardized Lot Size – Low transaction cost – In the futures markets, lot or contract sizes are determined by the exchanges which are fixed in nature. This allows traders to trade multiple lots.
  • Low Transaction Cost – The retail transaction cost (the bid/ask spread) is typically less than 0.1 percent under normal market conditions. In large deals, the spread could be as low as 0.07 percent.
  • High Liquidity – With an average trading volume of over $4 trillion per day, FOREX is the most liquid market in the world. It means that a trader can enter or exit the market at will in almost any market condition.
  • Almost Instantaneous Transactions – This is a very advantageous by–product of high liquidity.
  • Low Margin (3 – 5 percent), High Leverage – These factors increase the potential for higher profits (and losses).
  • Online Access – The big boom in FOREX came with the advent of online (Internet) trading platforms.
  • Interbank Market – The backbone of the FOREX market consists of a global network of dealers. They are mainly major commercial banks that communicate and trade with one another and with their clients through electronic networks and by telephone. There are no organized exchanges to serve as a central location to facilitate transactions the way the New York Stock Exchange serves the equity markets. The FOREX market operates in a manner similar to that of the NASDAQ market in the United States; thus it is also referred to as an over-the counter (OTC) market.
  • No one can corner the market – The FOREX market is so vast and has so many participants that no single entity, not even a central bank, can control the market price for an extended period of time. Even interventions by mighty central banks are becoming increasingly ineffectual and short-lived. Thus central banks are becoming less and less inclined to intervene to manipulate market prices.
  • No Insider Trading – Because of the FOREX market's size and non-centralized nature, there is virtually no chance for ill effects caused by insider trading. Fraud possibilities, at least against the system as a whole, are significantly less than in any other financial instruments.
  • Limited Regulation – There is but limited governmental influence via regulation in the FOREX markets, primarily because there is no centralized location or exchange. Nevertheless, most countries do have some regulatory say and more seems on the way. Regardless, fraud is always fraud wherever it is found and subject to criminal penalties in all countries.

major Fundamental factors that affect currency movements


  • Trade Balance – This refers to imports and exports, and is probably the most important determinant of a currency's value. When imports are greater than exports, you have a trade deficit. When exports are greater than imports, you have a surplus. A shift in the trade balance between two countries tends to weaken the currency of the country with greater deficit
  • Wealth – Wealth is a country's reserves, in the form of gold, cash, natural resources, and so on. Basically any factor that affects a country's ability to repay loans, finance imports, and affect investments impacts the market's perception of its currency and the currency's value.
  • Internal budget deficit or surplus – A country running a current account deficit has, on balance, a weaker currency than one that runs a budget surplus. This is tricky, however, in that the direction of the surplus or deficit affects perceptions and currency valuations too.
  • Interest Rates – Funds move around the world electronically in response to changes in short-term interest rates. If three-month interest rates in Germany are running 1% less than three-month rates in the United States, then all other things being equal, "hot money" flows out of Euro into the Dollar.
  • Inflation – Inflation in each country, and inflationary expectations, affect currency values. What good is a 10% short-term return in some country if inflation is running 15%?
  • Political factors – Taxes, stability, whatever affects the international trade of a country, or the perception of "soundness" of the currency affect its valuation.

How selling out of the money Call / Put will make you rich by few years? How it is 1000 times better than Gambling by buying Lottery Tickets?


Trading often appeals to impulsive people, to gamblers, and to those who feel that the world owes them a living. If you trade for excitement, you are liable to take trades with bad odds and accept unnecessary risks. The markets are unforgiving, and emotional trading always results in losses -Alexander Elder in Trading for living.
This above quote of Alexander Elder represents typical retail options trader. Most retail option traders are attracted by the huge volatility in options and buy cheap calls/put with hope of getting rich overnight. The most common strategy that retail option traders prefer is buying out-of-the-money straight calls and puts.
Out-of-the-money straight calls and puts are sold at very cheap rate. These calls and puts require huge move by stock/index to get profit. This is equivalent of buying a lottery ticket.
The distinct between lottery and calls/put is that in former case seller of the ticket pays only a small portion of the overall proceeds in the form of winnings, options are a zero-sum game in the truest sense of the description – winner’s profits are loser’s losses. And the majority of loser’s losses typically come in the form of speculative out-of-the-money plays.
The winners know how to bias the results. Moreover, they know the risk-reward and the probability of success before each trade. In the options world the gambler is defined by a trader who buys a call or put with a low delta. (Keep in mind, delta is the probability that an option will expire in the money.)
Like lottery tickets sold in streets, options with deltas this low have a low probability of success. But because of their low-priced sale and high-profit potential, they attract in retail options traders.
For this reason, I prefer to take the other side in this zero-sum game. I do so by basically taking the other side of the trade – by selling options to the speculative crowd. I prefer to sell options with low delta. The probability of making profit is above 80% and it moves further higher as I sell further out-of-the-money options. The lower delta higher is the probability of success in the trade.
Delta is the first “Greek” that most traders learn about when they get started with options. Most people learn that delta tells us how much the price of an option will change if the underlying stock or ETF changes in rupees
For example, if you own a call option with a delta of 0.50, every 1 rupee increase in the stock or ETF equates to a 50 paise increase in the price of the option. Remember, we make money with a credit spread when the options contracts expire worthless.
Next important consideration is position sizing. Using delta to calculate your probability of success will help you make intelligent choices about your position sizes.
Keeping position sizing in mind along with the probability of success will keep you in the game for the long haul. And that’s the only way you’re going to have sustainable success as an options trader.
