Mid point - Optimism

If you are too close - its possessiveness, If you are too far - you are ignoring

If you expect too much - its anticipation, If you don't expect its a surprise

If you don't plan it may be chaotic, If you plan you will be organized

Embrace uncertainty, Embrace its a marathon not a milestone

Every journey has its own unique aspects, satisfying moments of learning

In the end its a slow realization of a dream of learning, living and loving

Smile and Keep Going!!!


Learning is a Marathon

 Career has to be redefined

  • Skills in 20's - Without Domain Knowledge
  • Skills in 30's - With Domain Knowledge + Innovation
  • Skills in 40's - Domain Knowledge + Tech Skills + Vision + Innovation

Different phases of life put us on different learning tracks. And everything that happens has the right reason associated with it.

Initially, I regretted not doing masters in the '20s. But now I cherish it was sensible, relevant, and impactful doing it in the 30s.

Anything that happened late turned out only as a better decision.

What a Week ?

 Thursday evening My mom called me for dinner @ 9PM. I had dinner @ 12.30AM. Life is in a high-speed zone for the last couple of months. Whatever I took a time of 2 years in my past role I surpassed it in a few months. There is a ton of effort / aggressive schedules and a lot of learning moments. 

I was telling my mom to convert my room as a 'Jail Cell' and give food. I hardly step out or take any break. It's like a hurry all the time. I am not used to such stuff. For me, learning is patience, curiosity, and experiments. Maybe this prepares me better for the next level.

Life goes fast, faster. 

What I am missing overall, My personal Life :(

Why do I write, I like writing the thoughts that run in my mind.

Regrets and Mistakes are Memories Made

Dream Life-Long drive, Tension-free consulting work, Simple Family

Current Life - In front of PC, Hectic Life, 24 x 7 What Next

Sometimes we look at the past to reflect some memories and forget the pressure in the present. The mind wanders to search for little things of happiness in the past. It's a never-ending race on time vs money vs health. I am not sure If I ever settle down or just keep running forever and forever.

Disabilities

There are different kinds of disabilities people have

  • Physical Disabilities - the ones you can spot which are actually not disabilities but differently-abled people
  • Mental Disabilities - Depression, Addiction, Alcoholism things we create due to our habits
  • Perception Disabilities - This is one more new category I added. Man-made caste / astrology. The belief that these can be generalized this way. Knowledge-based on looks, not on thinking. A lot of stupid people and the media portray the wrong people as the right people.

Long for a sound mind and healthy body. Be of some use to mankind as a teacher, writer, blogger, make a positive impact, source of optimism. You do not need to live the way the world expects you to be. You need to live the way you feel you can leave something useful for the world.

Stop following the crowd!! Keep Thinking!!!

Faults Vs Praise

We all have both good things, things to correct. Our tendency has become more receptive to praise and defend for criticism. We all have good and bad in us. The areas of it and the percentage of it decides the impact on our decisions. Intentions vs Actions are a key, A selfish intention may have a selfless action. It is a game against What I am true vs What I want to be seen as. 

It's better to be as we are than projecting us a 'Holy Spirits' or 'Devils'. In a way, we tend to live the life of our free will. Are we really free is a debatable topic. 

Everything is a measure of what we do and what we receive. What we sow so we reap. To be better in the future, think about finding the right places, the right people, the right mindset. Never keep living in the past. The past is a place not to be looked up for regret but to be remembered for lessons.

Take lessons from the darkest past, Work for the brightest future 

Take lessons from failed past, Work for the most successful future

Take lessons from the lost past, Work for the most promising future 

Lose your ego, Love your trails, build your passion and kindness

Long for credits when you fail

Share the credits when you succeed

God lives in ordinary men who struggle to make ends meet

Climbing up the Knowledge Ladder

Sometimes you need a break to figure out your priorities, passion, and dreams. The toughest and painful days of my life gave me many breaking moments, but passing through those moments is the most memorable thing. When you see your ideas making money you believe your technology vision and business acumen are able to predict the future. 

Teaching is a fulfilling moment of connected the dots of technology progress, products, and solutions that evolved during this period. 

I am working on technology which I never thought or worked on 17 years back. Our priorities change, the technology landscape evolves, learning continues. Keep connecting the dots and connect like-minded people. 

Be Empathetic and focus on the greater good to make a dent towards quality education. You should be remembered for your unique way of teaching, connecting the dots, making it more of a solving solution, and building better products than just writing pieces of code.

Keep Going!!!

Journey of Trust

 What belong's to you will come to you at the right time however long you keep looking for it

What doesn't belong to you will leave anytime when its time is over with you

What comes easy won't last long

What last's long won't come easy

Sometimes failures build bonds and success breaks bonds

Every new change is a new direction of next level of self

Every new experience opens the door for a brighter tomorrow

Keep running towards the Goal

Learning Moments vs Education (MCQ Exams)

The main reason for the failure of education is it doesn't help you to improve problem-solving, coding. End-of-day programming is the same as any other profession driving, carpentry, welding, etc. To be good at something we need to have a good hold on our job. 

  • How many similar problems have I solved? 
  • How many perspectives I can think of to solve this problem?
  • What related learning's I can look for solving this problem?

We all need jobs, money for survival. Either do what you love or get better at what you are doing. The hype of knowledge or thinking is nothing but a lot of effort put behind the screens to achieve that expertise level.

This education system of marks does not solve the ultimate goal of education but rather teaching the right thing in the wrong way. A lot of motivational videos I see these days. In the end, we need to break ourselves to find the learning moment, life-changing failures.

  • There is life before and after professional failure
  • There is life before and after failed relationships
  • There is life before and after betrayal

To earn money, you need to focus on

  • What jobs yield what amount of income
  • Which jobs align with my interests
  • Which jobs align with my financial needs
  • Which leads I need to purse
  • Where do I find mentors
  • What edge I need to build up to face my competition

Everyone will have their day of success. You need to have your own pace, speed to get to that successful moment.

Define success in different dimensions - passion, money, satisfaction. We live in a competitive and corrosive environment. Focus, Consistent Efforts, and Patience are key, The doors of success need the right strategy, patience, and right priorities in life.

Education vs Poverty vs Empowerment vs Capitalism

For industries, we need resources, cheap labor supply. Think about being poor, getting the required education, and focusing the next generation to get into white-collar jobs.

Poor needs to look beyond freebies, understand different challenges, and focus on continuous small improvements to attain the goal. 

As long as there is a good imbalance it will help both the rich and the poor. Some generations will remain forever in the labor market. This boils down to the kind of jobs, innovation, and what value we generate for the world. Gone are the days of the industrial revolution. We are in the age of Industrial Intelligence, Robotics, Smart Devices.

This needs quality education, good fundamentals, broader focus, fine level of innovation to succeed. Unless we focus on a good level of education, experimental and creative next generation we will end up losing the next generation jobs.
