INTROSPECT YOURSELF

First Deserve then Desire.

During Coders Factory’s first seminar at Cambridge Institute of Technology, a student asked a professor that “Sir would you give me 100 placement guarantee after the completion of any of the tracks”? She was not wrong in asking this question, students very often ask these types of questions because they always lookout for an easy way to settle up the things. But Alas! There has never been an easy way to get good things in life. Even the guy who has below-par scores believes truly that on any luck day of his own, he would get placed somewhere. That’s a very positive attitude indeed, but until and unless if this attitude is not supported by equally strong aptitude or skill, the outcome will be nil. We all have hope and belief to get good things in our career, but these things ought to be backed up by the strong will to succeed, strong knowledge base and strong skill sets, then only the destination will come closer to us otherwise it would keep drifting away. Before asking the question to our college or to anybody else that where will we get placed, it should be asked by each and every one of us that, what efforts have we put in and are we really prepared to deserve a placement call? So, make a list of your weak areas, Plan your study, Plan your training schedule, Rely less on books and more on laptops, Polish your skills, Blame the people and world around you less and introspect more. Instead of asking for hundred placement guarantee directly first prepare yourself, get yourself trained, acquire skill and then ask for the right opportunities. Remember, teachers can give you the platform to launch yourself, teachers can take you to the door of success but the key must be with you to unlock it. So First Deserve then Desire.

ADVENTURE IN THIS CENTURY

Adventure today is way different from before. In the older times, people used to leave their homes and go on amazing trips for adventure. Some would even travel all over the world for adventure. But today adventure is nothing related to real-life but everything is VR (VIRTUAL REALITY), AR (AUGMENTED REALITY) and IR (INTEGRATED REALITY). VR puts you in a completely different world- imaginary world. Similarly, AR is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. The adventure now is nothing like before. Now it's not physical. one doesn’t even need to go out of their homes. This is my point of view should not be a standard one maintains in name of adventure. Our body needs physical exercise but technology is taking over physical fun.

Nature love: Brings peace, happiness and comfort.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

It was raining since evening. Gazing through the window outside I saw tiny droplets on the leaves of giant trees made me to appreciate the beauty of the nature.

Simple as it sounds, connecting with nature can make you feel better. Being in contact with nature, even in small ways (like noticing the spring flowers or putting a plant in your office), can take you a step away from your daily grind, and lead you to feel more positive and calm.

It’s true that most discussion about environment issues tends to center on how helping nature in turn benefits humanity and the earth at large. But nature can benefit the individual’s psyche, too. Some of the documented benefits that can come from human interaction with nature are: reduced stress and anger, better cognitive performance, increased positive affect (including feelings of calm and awe), a sense of connection to something larger than the self, and a more concrete awareness of the life cycle.

Here are some relatively simple ideas:

▪          Put a plant in your home or office

▪   Put up nature photos or screen savers that depict nature vistas or water scenes

▪          Shop at the local farmers market

▪          Exercise outdoors

▪          Take leisurely walks in the greener areas of campus

I would like to conclude by suggesting all of you to be in touch of nature in your life and preserve it so that our future generations can also be benefitted by the power of nature.
