Partner or Live Alone

• Somethings you miss
• Somethings you regret

Having a wrong partner means ?

• Doubt, Argument
• Justify yourself
• Debate finances
• Yes or No always
• Trust Issues

With the right partner or someone who is practical ?

• Discuss / Debate / Decide

A bad partner can be upside down in Life.

Sometimes being alone is safer than being in the wrong company!!!

My Stackoverflow QA Ranking

My Database, QA, and Performance ranking still stand in the Top 5%. I have changed roles but this top %% gives a good feel of things learned and shared.

I have moved on across roles but this feedback makes me feel, Always keep learning and keep sharing your perspectives.

Interview chaos

• If you ask a maths teacher a puzzle he would answer with the constraint/formula
• If you ask me about a business problem, I will explain data, process, challenges, and architecture
• Ask questions that best suits the past experience. 

Even if you blog / be #technical on top of things, Still going back to #puzzles or questions on things not relevant to your day-to-day job seems a crazy way to connect assess technical #skills. coding skills are not remembering #writing #syntax #keepworking on big picture

Life

Life rewards are based on how much we know shallow or deep learning. Learning does not happen in one go. It iterates and builds/updates your perspective. Learning compounds based on your thinking/observations/mapping experience to the situation. It's not a puzzle but a coordinated observation and mapping of the most optimal results :) :)

Talent vs Opportunities

Companies may run out of Talent but Talent will never run out of Opportunities. Your success is built on 99% of failures that others didn't notice. One day the magnificent success looks like an overnight success. Today's pain is tomorrow's gain. Keep smiling and Keep going!!!

Build someting what Motivates You

We need to survive, For paycheck, we deliver work that is required from us

For personal learning, we read things that we like to read about

Applying your perspectives and ideas and building a solution in your own frame of mind

Being open to change things if you see an impact / better reason for it

Things to consider in Life

• Better live in present to build future with hope and optimism - Focus on making brighter future
• Bring more experiences in life and fewer frustrations - Add more life to years
• Be focused on the task to get returns - Focus is important, Have measurable deliverables, Productive outcomes
• Success is the result of compounding small creative habits - Be better, keep improving
• Little things of hope are essentials to building long term habits - Learning never ends, Explore, Experiment, Stay Curious forever
• When you are smart you focus on improving, not proving - Double up on your strengths when you improve on your weakness. Keep Learning
• Manage your emotions well - Maturity is parting with a smile - Smile is the best to answer for people who annoy you
• Maximize your time - Work on your primary goals, secondary goals, future goals. Time is short.  Keep everything and have a distributed setup both in thoughts and mind
• Be proactive - Keep yourself multiskilled in your ideas, thoughts, learnings. It's ok we may not know everything but still, we can keep learning.
• Making money out of saved income is a habit, Learn to multiply your money when you sleep

• Have an online skill for the long term, Build your passion for online learning
• Never stop learning, Read every day, Make mistakes and learn, Don't bother about what others think.
• Make money work for you, when you learn to make more money - Like you invest in yourself, invest your money and let it grow for you

Keep Going!!!

Some words for soul

• Most people don’t lack talent, they lack commitment.
• We become addicted to people we call it love
• Maturity is finding truth in feedback
• Grow at your own pace
• Imagine being with someone who makes you believe in love again (It must be the positive person in you)

Stay positive, Stay Kind!!!

Ten things when you feel work pressure

1. Analyze do you have skills or is it a skill gap? Either fill the gap or choose a job which matches your skills
2. Be smart, not hardworking. Life is short. Everyone can be replaced but your family needs you. Pick jobs, pick and choose tasks that meets your time and efforts
3. You cannot win every battle, It's ok to lose in certain situations for your own peace
4. Clean your mind from pressure, job, everything. Quit and take a break as and when needed
5. Work out of own interest. Build your own futuristic version in your own learning plan
6. Be better than yesterday, last month, and last year. You are your own competition
7. When you fix your weakness double up on your strengths
8. Collect small ideas, small code snippets, small lessons which will give you more clarity, perspectives for implementation
9. Be genuine, kind, don't fake anything. If you don't care keep your mouth shut
10. Life is short, Don't stab anyone or a copycat. Build your own trail always and forever
11. Sometimes tasting failures give us bitterness which helps us to value the sweetness of success

Keep Going!!!

Dual minds

Two things I missed in the past few days

#1. I was in ATM, I was thinking about whether to buy chicken or get some fruits. In that thought, I left an ATM card. I went out for few mins then recognized. When I came back card was not there but someone had kept it on the left side. Thanks to the gentleman. It was a big relief.

#2. Today I went out to find a tender coconut shop. The shop seems closed then went for breakfast. In that thought of not finding I missed to get change for money I paid. In return, he called and gave me change

Whenever I am in a dual mind I miss whatever I am doing currently. Age is catching up possibly. I hope to die in good health. I don't want to be a burden nor live a life depending on anyone. Too soon I think I am done with Life :)

When death comes calling smile and kiss death.

Where to look forward to ?

Instead of being on the pessimistic side let's be on the positive side of life. Everything will end better when it happens with patience and preparedness. Indulge yourself in the more optimistic, positive influencer. Explore more sides of yourself - Travel, Blog, Be a source of motivation. Accept and understand the pain and go through it. Never bow down to limitations, instead use it as a medium to go beyond your comfort zone. You may be an inspiration for someone, Remember and stay optimistic. At last, some are born to inspire, some are born to just live without purpose. Choose your version carefully.

Keep Going!!!

Why I may never work for a startup

I was thinking about what motivates me

1. Technology does not motivate me, The same CRUD(Create / Read / Update / Delete) can be done in million ways and dozen tools. All I care about is some tech that would fit my tech need.
2. My mind keeps wandering on multiple ideas. I don't pick one idea and sit on it forever. Sometimes you read papers, you try some blog code, examples. It is a mix, collect and lot of ideas and let your creativity and interest pick what you like
3. It is a race to compete for technology and domain knowledge. I would rather focus on solving business problems and learn required tech on a need basis than trying to master tech and go for domain
4. In 20 years so much has changed in tech. To observe the new business process, how technology shapes the 2.0, 3.0 supply chain is great learning. Applying a mix of both domain and tech to be on par with the evolving landscape is my interest
5. Health is going down these days. I would rather be comfortable and creative than pushing my limits. I wish to be a learner, coder. You cannot win all the battles. Pick and chose
6. At some point, I need to write books, more blogs on my lessons both personal, professional. In a way, we are in a mentally pressured space. Too much competition and clarity and purpose and being clear needs constant revival and focused mindset
7. I have lost interest in money. I have connected with dozens of startups. I personally know the landscape, the tech they are solving. In a way, I am happy with the tech and business problems. Able to see and see how things evolve is more important than titles and company.
8. I believe teaching is equally important, mastering fundamentals. Adding value does not come from being online or replying to every email. It comes with deliverables, passion to do personally. We may not excel in anything but few things close to our heart we can be at our best
9. Now looking back on my 24 hours deployment, those critical moments in my work I do cherish those awards and being able to stand in times of crisis. Always domain knowledge helped me shape up to solve things and push for them. 
10. Learn more, Live the best you can, regret less, add less guilt. In the end, only memories matter, Halfway done. Keep the last half a bit more contented and satisfied.

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

Keep Shining!!!

Flip Side of perspectives

What looks happy today may not be happy when we look back after sometime
What looks painful today may be a new lesson for tomorrow
What is painful today may lead to a beautiful beginning
Emotions are endless waves that keep hitting the shores day and night
We can never calm the sea, nor our emotions, We need to sail deep through the sea to find our true self
In the end, everything that kills you makes you feel alive!!!
