Commonly Used sentences, words, phrasal verbs, collocation etc.


By Philip Freeman-

More than two thousand years after his death, Julius Caesar remains one of the great figures of history. Julius Caesar was one of the greatest heroes of human history.
Like most gladiators during Roman times, Spartacus was a slave.
An Italian entrepreneur named Lentulus Batiatus, who trained gladiators near Naples. Given the danger posed by large groups of slaves trained in combat, these schools were heavily guarded. Some gladiators wore light armor while others carried shields, swords or scimitars. Since gladiators are very expensive to purchase and maintain,death in the arena was rare.Including Spartacus and his friend Crixus fled to a nearby mountain to wage war against Roman rulers. Marcus Crassus led a force to combat against Spartacus army.Spartacus thought his men might stand a better chance if they divide into a groups to rebel against Roman forces. Retreating to the toe of Italy he joined hands with pirates. Crassus took advantage of this to trap Spartacus, nevertheless, he and most of his men were able to fight their way out. The deliberate attempt to earn wealth through governance was common practice and independent source & means of income. But these practice was soon hounded by creditors for years to come. By then over the course of three years, Pompey along with Crassus support had conquered new lands and rearranged the whole political geography of the near east. Crassus had been nursing a grudge of his(Pompey) victory over Spartacus. Even though the two had made peace and worked together as consul in 70 B.C. By that time, Caesar had for years been carefully,step by step, building his credentials as a proven military leader and sensible populist politician.
Julius Caesar way-
The problem is that people only remember what happens last. He reminds, that death was really no punishment in itself, just an end of suffering.The more harsh the punishment you give, the less will be their courage. If they see even a slightest hint of weakness on our part, they will descend on us ferociously.

There are duelling predictions over how ubiquitous the Internet of Things will be, but most indicate that the marketplace will host between 50 and 75 billion connected objects by 2020, signalling novel challenges for hardware manufacturing and development.

The lineup of corporate presenters converses on the same message.
Design will never be the same. Data aggregations from diverse sources will form the foundation of everything, from prototyping to the way IT react to changes.

A little over a year ago, I managed the delivery of cloud based systems. Since that time, I helped customers realize the power of API, Cloud and mobile with artificial intelligence so that the customers get the speed, scale and cost effective benefits of their ROI no matter what they want to do.

Technology everywhere! I shake my head to get it off! but I can't! its difficult. I roll on my back and wonder ,well there can be time when nothing can be done without technology. Technology can be answers to all question.

We'll be just fine!

Where am I? In dark age of intolerance and anxiety where everything has to be at its pace , speed and very much in demand of new world , new opportunities.

I hate packaged Software but I hate custom software more! Architecture don't last but technology can.

Cloud computing started as a cost-effective, flexible way to consume storage and service, but over the last few years it has become so much more.

None of us is going out of here alive so stop treating !

“If I would have known my life would end this way I would have lived it more to the fullest enjoying everything I was told not to!”
“None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you're carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There's no time for anything else.”

Up in the air

How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel 'em? 

Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. You start with the little things. The things on shelves and in drawers, the knick-knacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up. Then you start adding larger stuff, clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV. The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. And you go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two bedroom house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now try to walk. It's kind of hard, isn't it? This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move. And make no mistake, moving is living. 

Now, I'm gonna set that backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember. Drink some ginkgo and let the photos burn. In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing. It's kind of exhilarating, isn't it?

Now, this is gonna be a little difficult, so stay with me. You have a new backpack. Only this time, I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office, and then you move into the people that you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend or your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack. And don't worry. I'm not gonna ask you to light it on fire. Feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake - your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. Do you feel the straps cutting into your shoulders? All those negotiations and arguments, and secrets and compromises. You don't need to carry all that weight. Why don't you set that bag down? Some animals were meant to carry each other, to live symbiotically for a lifetime - star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not those animals. The slower we move, the faster we die. We are not swans. We're sharks.

Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing kids. Their spouses will ask about their day, and tonight they'll sleep. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places; and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.
