      'Cyberwar games' used more by companies to thwart hackers
      Firms find the war games especially helpful, where they compete against other companies to see who can best respond to hypothetical cyber incursions. Mountain View-based Symantec, which sells widely used Norton anti-virus software, puts on these "cyber readiness challenges" worldwide. It contends the games help participants think like hackers, so they can better recognize and respond to their corporations' vulnerabilities.

      There are two types of people in the world: those who choose to be happy, and those who choose to be unhappy. Contrary to popular belief, happiness doesn’t come from fame, fortune, other people, or material possessions. Rather, it comes from within. The richest person in the world could be miserable while a homeless person could be right outside, smiling and content with their life. Happy people are happy because they make themselves happy.

My company, Metal Mafia, has an excellent candidate screening process, a super training program, and a very successful team of employees to show for it.
