Hmm..
You did not post a learning on your birthday.
So many people have wished you, yet you dont wish myself.
So here is to the fantastic 20 years that have been your life…
“Happy Birthday!! May the joy and the learnings continue.. :)”
And a big thank you to everyone for making it so fantastic! :D
Decide...
and dont look back. Decide strongly. Either you want it or you dont want it. Most of the time it doesnt matter what you choose as long as you choose strongly.
Life can branch into more paths than you can comprehend.. And the turns are not always predictable. The only way to make the most of the path you are taking is to enjoy it. And this happens only when you dont look back at the paths you COULD have taken.
If you DO take something seriously..
It will take you seriously.
Be clear when you do something.. Either take it seriously or dont. And if you dont, dont expect anything out of it. :)
It doesnt matter how much you know about something...
There will always be surprises. :)
The electron itself has no clue where it is or where it is going. Why do you think YOU can predict what will happen? You can try hard, but dont expect to be successful!
This universe is indeterministic. Let’s face it :)
Finshing..
Yet again.. a last minute submission. And you are only 30% done for your submission tomorrow.
Focus on getting a version done from the beginning and then working on making it better, rather than trying for the best possible version. Do it like an exam.. finish it first. Then working on finishing it well. It might perhaps still take till the last minute.. or you may again not get a version you are happy with, but atleast you are done.It eases pressure. :)
Thoughts...
Why dont I seem to have the intensity I had on Friday? Is it possible only when I am rushing to meet a deadline? Or do I work better when there is a group of people working on the same thing?
Yes, what had to be done on Friday required less brainwork and more hardwork. Is that the reason? Is it the environment? I should try working in SoC then.. Or maybe the current relaxed, half focussed way is the ideal way to do something.. Relaxed yes.. but half focussed? No cannot be. So why is it that I am not able to focus on the task at hand for a stretch and finish it off? Why does the focus come only in bursts? Even when I am very much interested in the task at hand?
