Never despise your small beginnings

Starting something great doesn't have to be all glorious and catchy. Learning to move all the way to the top is as important as the goal you want to achieve. distractions will always be there to keep you in check BUT, let them not decide your goal.

I promised myself to write an article per week. In reality even the idea of writing fell of. I have achieved something that led me away from my passion and interest in learning and developing myself. If I fail to write, I wonder what I would be learning. The challenge of writing means I must consistently write. Either writing codes or observation, they all need one to consistently be studying something.

I have been asked to teach [a friend of a friend] the basics of web development in four hours. In four hours, this friend must have confidence to develop websites for himself. First thing that came to mind, what will be the curriculum? I realised that web development is not that difficult. Continuous learning is the rule of the game. This has led me to go back to the basics [by the way, I had already started before this offer].

This time, I don't plan an article every week but atleast a minimum of two articles per month. I will have to take it from a level that will motivate me to push.

AngularJS2 is on the way and I have not yet mastered Angular1.x. jQuery3 is the latest kid on the block and guess what? I have not yest mastered jQuery2.x. So, you can see that I have a lot of work to do. i can only defeat this demon of procrastinating by doing something that motivates me to be a better person like, Python, Linux, Nginx, and everything that says Computer Tech

In the mean time, let me get back to study and finish my AngularJS @ www.codecademy.com

Till next time

Time Flies, or does that mean Life?

The days of mediocre are consistently lingering around. It is not what we say that matters BUT what we do. So, I have been out of the writing environment for quite sometime. It has been an interesting journey of growth, through skills development and betrayal. After-all, what did I learn? This time, is a renewal of documenting what I am learning and ideas. I keep on making the same silly mistake of not writing how I solved issues. Recently I solved some installation of odoo (https://github.com/Yenthe666/InstallScript/issues/141) on Linux Mint 19.1. I realised that we keep on hitting the same wall over and over again not because we are stupid, but for lack of documenting, Then what now? I am going back to document what I have learnt and share it here. Also will write about education and basic economic challenges that can be solved through Free Open Source Software. I am currently learning the basics of Python (www.python.org) and will document notes that I think will make a ...

educate who,for what and how?

An education system that is not responsive to the current and future challenges of the economy is doomed to fail the economy. Challenges faced by a country from skills development, unemployment, underemployment and many more are easily resolved by consistent re-engineering of the education system to respond positively. Latest discussion about the quality of Mathematics is a point at hand. We still face challenges created by an apartheid government. From poorly trained teachers, of which in majority are already resigning because of age, to lack of visionary leadership both in public and private sector. You will be correct to ask, what then is the current 'democratic government' doing about this picture? What needs to be done by ordinary citizen? The outcry of the 1955 Freedom Charter: The doors of Learning and Culture shall be open, is far from being realised. This is informed by the opinion that a culture may be created by a government BUT most importantly, a culture that l...

Who Am I

The dawn of a new chapter in life is promising good news and development. the sustainability of hard work, develops a character, and character determines your friends and enemies. If you can not stand for a principle, you will fall for anything and you will neither have friends nor , not necessary, enemies. With the speed technology is moving these days, we are expected to either be left out and this is not an option or move faster than the clock. As you note that you had mastered a particular field, new trends are on the desktop, new skills needs to be develop and the circle goes on like the kindergarten song of the wheel's of a bus. Have you also noticed that technology takes people away from each other and the skills of networking and creating conversation with strangers are also in demand either at the workplace or running your own business. The skills that are not important in any curriculum at school are now becoming dominant, and how you acquire them remains your respons...
