Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Education is something very important that human being should have in their life. And for this certain reason, there are a lot of people try to get their undergraduate or post graduate education from any university that has good reputation. However, finding the best university for you is not only determined by the reputation of the university only. There are a lot of aspects that you should consider carefully before choosing certain place to study.

The first consideration is your purpose. Just decide why you are continuing your study in the university. If you want to improve your future career, choose any university that becomes the leader in the certain degree that you want to achieve. For example, if you want to study creative writing University of East Anglia will be the best choice. Or, you can choose University of Oxford if you are interested to study business.

However, choosing a certain subject is somehow confusing. If you have decided on a certain subject to study related with your future career plan, it will be easier. You just need to take related subject with your future goal. For example, you can take law if you plan to be a lawyer. But if you have not decided a certain plan for your future, you can choose a certain subject that you are good in.

The second consideration is the location of the university. Make sure that you have to be happy to stay in the certain city or environment. Why? It is very important for you to enjoy the life there because you will spend at least eight months a year to stay there. Consider the distance with your hometown because it will be important aspect as well. If you want to experience independent life, you can choose university as far as you can. But if you still want to come home and visit your parents sometimes, it is better for you to choose the nearer one.

The third aspect to be considered is the cost. Surely, it will be an important thing to be prepared when you are going to enter any university. Different universities require you to spend different amount of money. However, you can still apply for any scholarship programs that fortunately are available in a lot of kinds.

There will be a lot of choices of universities for you. Surely, what you have to do finding the best university for you, not the best university based on the rank. If you think that those best universities in the world are appropriate environment for you to study, surely it will be great. However, if you do not enjoy to study there, you just need to simply take another option.

Up to this day, Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA is still in the top position of the best universities in the world. This well-known Ivy League school achieves perfect 100.00 score. This is the oldest university in the US which is founded in 1636. The second position will be University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England UK. While the third position is Yale University in New Have, Connecticut, USA.

Now, you can start to consider which university that fit best for you. Prepare everything well before choosing and entering university will be a wise thing to do.

Awareness and Education for Fire Safety

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Have you ever been through a test fire drill while at work and dismissed it as a waste of time or even completely ignored it along with any other fire safety related notion? I admit I have, until I was caught in a fire emergency and had to know what to do to survive in order to be able to help others and, at the same time, minimize the risk of others endangering their lives or even die trying to get me out of trouble because of my incompetence. That was a lot of literally vital stuff I had to make the right decisions on with very little time to spare.

I have since realized that fire safety drills and periodical training and procedures are mostly designed to help you draw a mental map of the steps you should take to protect yours and others lives in case of a real fire emergency. It is imperative that we all pay much more attention to this subject not only in the working environment, but most importantly at home where we are totally responsible for the safety of our loved ones in case of such an emergency.

It is easy to realize that because of our busy lives we have virtually no time at all to get up to speed with many vital emergency procedures like fire safety. I could have used some more knowledge when I was suddenly put on the spot and I bet the vast majority of people that survived such an ordeal would agree. Therefore finding ways to draw attention to simple, accessible and useful information on the subject has almost become a mission for me after that experience.

For example, one of the fire safety tools I was totally ignorant about even though I could see them virtually everywhere was the fire extinguisher, there is one even in my car. But do you know how to operate it correctly? Have you ever asked yourself if you would be able to quickly establish what kind of fire you are fighting and if the fire extinguisher you happen to have in your hand is the correct one to put that fire out? If you believe this is Fire-fighters stuff only, please do not wait until you have to pull that trigger to find out you are wrong.

Another life saving device I used to totally ignore is the humble Smoke Alarm. This simple device is a real life saver and there should definitely be one installed in each room of your home, no exceptions. It can be easily sourced, even at your local supermarket, comes with great designs to suit the style of your home and is worth the small investment thousands of times over if you think only for a nanosecond what it is in fact designed to do. In case of fire, an early wake up call will mean the difference between life and death.

All you have to do now is place your smoke alarms strategically on the walls or ceilings of all your rooms and make sure you periodically maintain them which mean performing a functionality test according to the device maintenance schedule which comes with each device and eventually change the batteries if needed.

Basically if you can change a light bulb you can install and maintain a life saving smoke detecting device and alarm, it is that simple and you will not regret it.
