It wont take you seriously either :)

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? 

The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, ‘How can I put this to use today?’

There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don’t need money. Love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching. :D

A very nice story to help understand what that means…

It might be extremely thrilling to finish something in the 11th hour but try not to make it a habit. If you are doing something big enough, there is a very good chance it will blow up in your face. When that happens it might not be so much fun picking up the pieces. :)

Next time, plan your food properly, start eating heavier meals or keep a good reservoir of food. It is evident that your productivity is much higher when you dont have a growling stomach distracting you. Your body doesnt deserve to be abused in this manner.

till you see the other side of the coin.

You are not giving your 100% when you are thinking of giving up or compromising.

But that doesnt mean you blindly walk jump into the hole. You must convince yourself that it is perfectly possible. There is not question about it. Now, with that as the invariant, come up with a better plan… where there is a will, there is a way :)

Is about submerging yourself completely in activity 1 and not getting out till its done. If you reach a point where you wish get out, make sure you get out completely and submerge yourself in activity 2. Do not think of activity 1 at this point. The satisfaction is much greater.

In simpler words, do one thing at a time. The trick sometimes is simply picking the right thing at the right time. :)

is not about trying to somehow dump all your knowledge on the student. Eager as you may be to share knowledge, it cannot be received like that.

Teaching involves picking the right level of information to share and packaging it such that it facilitates learning. 3 steps you could work on would be to lay down the framework, spark interest and show direction.

And do one thing at a time.

And its not a very good idea to become a robot. Leave space for creativity…

the means. The end will then not matter. You gain more from the means anyway.. :)
