Whats Technology all about??

Technology is a word that has got many abstract meanings in today's world. It sounds different to people from different domains. To a doctor it means something that enhances the way he handles his patients. To a poet its merely an element to sing about. To a teacher its something he has to keep learning on and on, because technology has no bounds on grounds of its development.

But, the unbelievable truth is that Engineers are the first people who get affected or benefitted by a wave called "Technology". Its their life that sees a round about change. First, whats this technology all about. To be precise, it is a tool by which an engineer enhances the life-style of common men or civilians. Its also the same cause for which science and inventions have strived for, all through the centuries.

Technology aims at easing the day to day activities of mankind. There is one important thing that every engineer needs to realise. Whenever he embarks on a new thinking that ultimately leads to a new idea, it must be based upon the central idea of helping the common people. It must aim to solve a major issue among the masses. Edison has once said that "I don't invent things that don't benefit the people ultimately", which literally means, he doesnt invent things that don't sell in the commercialmarket.

The IT majors all over the world do only this kind of job, identifying people problems and defining new solutions. Ofcourse, thinking out of the box, which means out of the ordinary is necessary to solve these problems, but doing so should not complicate the problem solving process itself. So, its high time the engineers realise that its for helping the common people for what they graduate and technology is one powerful tool in their hand. I wish every engineer follows this fine thread and keeps this world closely knitted through the concept of "Engineering".

Chasing Your Dreams......

Everyone of us have a dream of our career, which we like to pursue in our future. This dream enables us to create a vision of our destiny and helps us to act towards it. The most important aspect here is not just dreaming of our future but how efficiently we move towards it. The preliminary task here is finding exactly where our interest lies. Without knowing this aspect of our's, its extremely difficult to figure it out what our future is.

Once you find whats that interests you or about that which you are passionate about, start working towards it by channelising your enery and your mental powers. Narrowing your thoughts towards a particular domain is extremely important here, because it enables you to analyze a particular area in detail. Once you have done this, the next thing is the learning process. Learning can be done through doing some innovative projects in your period of study that corresponds to your domain. This hands on experience on a particular technology helps you better to step ahead on the same field.

When you do a project on your area of interest, you have a chance of learning the various aspects of diffeent modules that are used in it. This is certainly useful when we do a real time project in the same field. When you are doing these, you realise that your dream is getting into reality slowly. This is what we call as "Chasing your dream", because a good dream is very encouraging and motivating, but when you start working with it the hurdles that occur in between seem that the dream drifts away from you. Thus, it becomes mandatory to chase your dream and achieve it to have a satisfied job experience.

The Flow of Life.....A Realisation...

Life is the best teacher for many and of course its for me too. It has taught me how to enjoy success and also how to learn from my failures. But, there s one different aspect of life which everyone hates to endure, "going through tough times". Life is good when everything goes our way and we feel "at the world's end" when something goes against us. This kind of experience, I believe everyone of us would have endured for sure.

There have been occasions when we enjoyed a lot with our friends, tasted success in whatever we did and to sum up "everything went our way". Those were the periods when we thanked God for giving us this beautiful life. But, none of us ever wishes to even think of those periods when failure was our way of life and tragedies were the day-to-day events. This is the other part of life, or to put it simpler, the other side of the coin. The two aspects of the life are inseparable. Lets see how to view this befuddled part of our life.

Life is a flowing river that takes all who are in its way, the same manner a river takes all those particles floating on it. The particles pass through the smooth water surface, through cool waters and surrounded by lush vegetation. But, they also stumble upon hard rocks and flow from high cliffs. The same anomaly can be employed here, people as particles of river pass through happier moments also through the darker periods during their life. What is implied here is "everyone must accept the flow of life".

Sometimes life lends you a warm touch and at other times hits you with a hammer. A clever person recognises the hammer as the alarm to change his course of action to become a better individual and acts accordingly. Next, life doesn't always provide you with the same resources, as I said, warm moments and hard times are provided as mandatory to every individual. Also, the two of them are never permanent. One succeeds the other and may be their effects are permanent. But, a even more intelligent person changes those effects due to bad times into better ones when he s through better times!!!

Accept the flow of life as it treats you. Don't stand against it. This doesn't mean you must give up when there is no hope of continuing further. Efforts are different from flow of life. What you do constitute the efforts and the rest come under the forces of life. When you have done your fullest and if still something goes wrong, then it indicates something better awaits you in the near future and its going to be a surprising turn of events. Everyone must do what is expected of them and the result then doesn't affect them, because they will surely be rewarded some day if not immediately.

To conclude, nothing is lost when something is lost. Not everything is achieved when success is tasted, finally "Don't let success reach your head and failure reach your heart"......Accept life as it comes to you...........Life is beautiful##
