After A Very Long Day…

It is again another day of beating the deadline and another requirement is still waiting to be finished on the table. Days had gone by so fast that it was just May when the review class started. Now, first quarter is almost finished. With just a week before the first quarter ends, it will surely make everyday a very long day with the coming week to be spent reviewing for the finals.

In my trying to break away from a monotonous routine, what have I learned so far?  I can say I learned more about individuality than any other information technology theory that was taught. Say, I am a person who would simply try to find the simplest way of presenting the solution to any problem (if I can find one and if I have ample time to do so) but some people would rather see the long way.

Others would prefer a written output than the actual delivery of action. In fact the actual delivery is even disregarded and forgotten. Does theory matter at all? Well, it does in some cases. But in real life application, it is how you applied the theory that matters, not how much theory have you memorized. What I can say is that, instead of bombarding the trainees with pages of theories, why not share the secrets of the trade, give them practical work but be there to mentor.

It also affirmed my belief that wherever you are, you need to get along well with at least one member of the community. More will be merrier but you need to choose well so you won’t deviate from your goals.

Learn to ask help when help is needed and extend help to those who deserve to receive help. Do not rely and expect others to help you so you will not be disappointed when you do not get any help.

These are facts of life. Be reminded.
