if you are ever going to sell yourself extraordinarily successfully in the job market or any item in the market, which ever it is, Do this. Make sure you find a tribe (group of people) that listens to you and grow your tribe. Your tribe reflects your success.

Don’t go for everything or everybody. Don’t go for a mixture. Look for a type, a category. In essence look for a tribe of people (or build a tribe if the people aren’t there) and try to “lead” them , convince them to stay part of your ‘tribe’.

Its as easy as being a leader of a ‘tribe’.

All successful people are.

I believe that.

I am trying to make a ‘tribe’ of travel enthusiasts on Nepal in the site “www.exoticbuddha.com”

what should i do to make this tribe bigger ?

Time to change your job or find something in your job that translates into passion and purse that.

otherwise you are not really helping yourself or others.

Himalayan times, English Daily in Nepal is is often hilarious to read because of the way their editors write their english. It needs some serious rescuing!
thehimalayantimes
this is the one of their headlines “Defence still a bone of contention.”

Here are simple rules on the way to writing better english.

i. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

bad: I “stood shoulder to shoulder with” with tenzing.
better: I stood ‘besides” tenzing.
bad: I would like to take the pleasure in announcing our refreshing redesign of Exoticbuddha and humbly look forward to your grateful feedback.
good: Look at our ‘refreshing” redesign of exoticbuddha and I appreciate your feedbacks.
bad: I would appreciate it if you could understand our concerns and pay us in due time.
good: Thank you for paying your bills on time.

ii. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

bad: Nepal is a beautiful place with lots of adventures, treks and cultural wonders; i.e such as……
good: Nepal is a beautiful place. It is full of adventures, treks and cultural wonders. Places like…..

iii.If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

bad: On the other hand, i think he might just be right.
good: I think he might just be right.

bad: I like him very much so.
good: I like him.

iv.Never use the passive where you can use the active.

passive (bad): Mount Everest was climbed by tenzing and hilary on 1953.
active: Tenzing and Hilary climbed Everest on 1953.

bad (passive) : the bill should be paid on time. Otherwise you will be kept in our black list.
good (active): Please pay the bill on time. Otherwise we will keep you in our black list.

passive: You will find a lot of restaurants are run by local people in sherpa villages.
active: Local people run most restaurants in sherpa villages.

v. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

bad: The spring water in mustang tastes like “amrit”
bad: The “H2O”in mustang tastes……
bad: the spring water in mustang tastes like “virgin”

good: The spring water in mustang tastes like “nectars from paradise.”
good The spring water in mustang is “heavenly”

vi. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

these rules don’t work always. if you feel, something’s not right when applying these rules. .break them!

and I thought: if Chinese are progressing at this rate (above 10% growth for the past 10 years), they will soon have enough money to start traveling. And Nepal is the right place for chinese and indians.

and I thought, how about a chinese language travel portal geared for chinese travelers to enlighten them about Nepal. It wouldn’t hurt to start, would it ?

China - 1.4 billion
India 1.2 billion

Nepal can choose plenty of travelers if it wholeheartedly focused in these 2 mega groups.
I know i have to do something here.

side-note: am going to the labs and start making exoticbuddha.com in chinese language (a priority now).

here starts my experiment in taping a potential market (big one) !
