But with some extra effort to promote yourself and your skills, you can get ahead and establish yourself as a technical communications candidate who is above the rest. Danielle M. Villegas shares pointers based on her own recent experiences.

How to unleash your creativity and generate million dollar ideasAamir Qutub
Creative ideas are all around us, all the time. Uncovering them is often a matter of how we’re looking at things and less of where we’re looking. And yet when we’re feeling uncreative or stuck it’s often helpful to get away from the work: to get up and go for a walk, or do a chore, or otherwise change scenery.

2. What topics we will
discuss on:
• Which programming language is easiest to learn?
• What's the future of Vue.js?
• How to generate good ideas for a startup?
• What's the greatest barrier to success?
• Why are college degrees useless?
• Is MBA necessary to be successful in business?
• How to handle a grilling interview?
3. Which programming
language is easiest to
learn?
• The answer depends on what do you want to
do with programming. To begin with,
programming is an enjoyable and challenging
activity which can change your ability to think
and organize information. The fields of
Computer Science, Software Engineering,
Computer Engineering all require you to be
proficient in this activity. Depending on
where you see yourself in the future, you
may choose to specialize in some languages
over others.
4. • C: This language is the “mother” of almost all (if
not all) modern programming languages. The
syntax may be a bit cumbersome but is relatively
simple and straightforward. I took a course in C
programming at university, and it was a lot of
fun. This language is useful to develop good
programming habits.
• Python: Useful if you are into software and web
development. The syntax is straightforward and
can be compared to writing English.
• Ruby: If you are into web development, learn
this language. The syntax is also very
straightforward, and new concepts can be
understood easily.
Which programming language is
easiest to learn?
5. What's the
future of
Vue.js?
• Vue.js is an open-source model–view–model front
end JavaScript framework for building user interfaces
and single-page applications. It was created by Evan You
and is maintained by him and the rest of the active core
team members coming from various companies such as
Netlify and Netguru.
• Vue.js has achieved phenomenal adoption growth over
the last few years. It has gone from a barely known
open-source library to the second most popular front-
end framework (behind only React.js).
• One of the biggest reasons for its growth is that Vue is a
progressive framework — it allows you to adopt bits
and pieces at a time. Don’t need a full single page
application? Just embed a component. Don’t want to use
a build system? Just drop in a script tag, and you’re up
and running.
6. How to generate good ideas for a
startup?
The best way to develop a sound startup idea is to:
• Find out everything you can about the industry
where you want to pursue a startup,
• Speak with as many target consumers as possible,
• Identify a common problem among your target
market,
• Think of business ideas to solve the problem,
• Brainstorm to uncover the strengths and
weaknesses of your solution,
• Settle on an idea,
• Take the next steps towards launching your
startup.
7. What's the greatest barrier to success?
• The biggest barrier to your success is fear. Period!
• It’s the fear of failing. It’s the fear of losing money.
It’s the fear of speaking in front of a large
audience. It’s the fear of taking risks. It’s the fear of
trying new things. Fears can be external, internal
or subconscious.
• Remember, every one of us has some unique
characteristics of our own. That’s why no two
persons can be alike. It is this uniqueness that
allows us to do something outstanding and
exceptional.
8. • Getting a college degree is not as important as it used to be
because things are different these days. Centuries ago, formal
education is the holy grail of wealth and success. It would help
if you were highly educated to run businesses and to be able
to make business deals.
• However, the world has changed and having a college degree
does not means that you will be guaranteed with a bright and
prosperous future.
• Donald Trump, the real estate billionaire and the president of
the United States of America, once said that college degree is
not enough to prepare the students for the real world.
• If you only learn and apply what you gain from college, it will
not be enough to thrive and become extraordinary. You will
lack the practical experience that the real world requires.
Why are college degrees useless?
9. Is MBA necessary
to be successful in
business?
No, MBA is particularly not necessary to be
successful in business. The reasons being so:
• Need skills, not degree – To become a
successful businessman, a person needs
skills rather than a degree. He should
possess qualities such as good
communication skills, sincerity, and good
leadership.
• Practical Knowledge – Management is not
about having bookish knowledge but about
having the practical knowledge and how to
apply it in our day to day working.
• Proven in history – History proves that
management education or MBA is not
necessary to be successful in business.
Michael Dell, the founder of Dell, did not
have an MBA degree, yet he succeeded due
to his incredible business instincts. P
10. How to handle a grilling interview?
• It is not a challenging task. It is based on the mind
and level of patience you have. The only thing is,
you should keep your mind calm and should
clearly listen to the question being asked and
always stick to your conscience.
• Most of the interviewers grill a candidate to
understand the patience and how well they cope
up with the stress being put on them.
• Imagine a situation where your job requires to
handle angry customers day in and day out; you
will lose yourself if you are not able to take the
stress.
• Now, most of the jobs require you to be on the hot
seat every day be it IT, Sales or Manufacturing and
consider grilling is just a test to understand how
well you handle the situation.
11. Want to
know more?
Building a successful career takes time,
effort, and patience. If you’re willing to
sacrifice some free time and you’re
willing to get out of your comfort zone,
you will succeed. It’s not that hard,
honestly. It just takes courage and
commitment to follow everything that
you’ve targeted.
