Tolerance and Understanding

The key is to accept the fact that we all are humans and we do make mistakes."One love is all we need" are true words. Find some who loves you . This defaults to your parents. As we are humans we don't stop at one.When you find someone offer time and care and enjoy the joy of giving. At hard times you have to distinguish between situation and character.Sometimes situation revels character and if not comfortable with that safely ignore the person. Maybe you want to hate the person , but don't do it as it would affect you more the other so ignore. Tolerance is important in a relation Analyse whether the person is fundamentally has a good character and the situation just projects his as bad person. What you can offer in this situation is 'Time and Space'. After a considerable amount of time you can clearly see weather it was the character or the situation manifested and act accordingly. The love you can't afford to miss is yourself.

Is the world random or deterministic?

This a billion billion dolar question. The real difference between both is just 'Time'. When an event happens is no more random. According the 'Black swarn theory' after an black swarn event the event seems more obvious then ever. So random things are obvious until we figure out. Let me simplify ( may be i complicate it ).
H + 2O -> H2O. When the we did not know this equation the Hydrogen and Oxygen gave us a miracle substance. Later we came to know that it was water the was produced. The it became obvious to us. The is a simple reaction under normal condition. May be at different condition and catalyst it would have reacted differently. But the reaction is no more random. I strongly feel randomness is a deterministic reaction for which we don't know the catalyst and output. May be every thing in the world is determined and it follows a complex reaction chain reaction pattern and fate the we call is the reaction path. People may say "Wat do mean have control of my life" but excuse me this also may be a reaction catalysed by my article
:). You can believe it are not it ur reaction and its determined already.

Take advantage of Limited Warranty

Generally electronic goods carry a limited warranty on purchase. First you must read the limitations and the coverage of the warranty . Mostly the companies give warrenty based on the some lab tests and the statistics. Most electronics items may just survive the warranty period and may fail very soon after it. The cost computed by the company the product may fail in next year is proportional to

Percentage of people opting extended warranty * probability of that the product may fail * Max cost of replacement.

On the initial days we would take extreme caution the product. Then later on we would reduce the care that we take exponentially over time. This increases the probability  the product may fail after the warranty period.

So what can we do ?

Don't hesitate to use your product extensively within the limits given on the warrenty during the warrenty period. Try to extend the warrenty to another year if the product's average life expectancy is above five years.If the product survives it has a greater probability that it would serve the entire average span. And don't forget to have your warrenty card safe.

I am this kind of Developer

"Here is a little secret that developers have known for years and non-technical people have yet to figure out. It doesn't matter what language a developer knows, they are all similar. A talented developer has an interpreter and compiler in his head and thinks in pseudo-code anyway. Applying that to a language is just a matter of figuring out the syntax...and that is the easy part."

Enlightenment

Enlightenment is about realizing about yourself. We are some kind of wired. Like things the make you happy and sad. Many configuration are adopted from the society and some are pre-loaded. We must realize a fact that we are highly configurable. A psycho is an person who has wrongly reconfigured the wiring "KILL>SIN" to "KILL>PLEASURE". Some Monks just cut the Hard Line connecting to anger. You can be a silent observer of your emotions to see these links. Its really hard to reconfigure these links. You can define your own links or cut some links. Some of my links are "SPEND>SAD" "SAVE>HAPPY" "GAMES> NOT INTERESTING" etc.
You can tryout your own links and cut the unwanted and be Enlightenment.

What if everything goes wrong

Positive thinking is a good attitude. But I feel thinking only positive events would occur and being unprepared is not good. For every future scenario that can happens we must first calculate the worst case scenario ("If anything can fail it surely will" -Murphy's Law) and think of steps to avoid it and also if it occurs how can we proceed further. Usually what happens is that people make decisions at the event of Crisis, this decision may not be correct as these are highly influenced by emotions. When an event has not yet occurred , your mind will be calm to analyse. This would sound like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), yes it an application of it in life.

“Expect good, predict the bad and prepare for the worst thing can ever happen”


This policy can make u always happy, huh! If something bad happens you would be happy that your prediction is correct and you are prepared for it. If good happens obviously you would be happy and also you will be happy through the period of wait for the event as you are prepared for both. And it simply waste of time thinking of things that are not in your hand and you have nothing to do with it. What do I do then “Accept the pain- Buddha”.

Common scenarios:
Lost mobile
Lost purse
Money shortage
Lost job

It’s a best practice to maintain an online encrypted personal phone number and account number list, customer care numbers to block your lost card.
Finally “If you fail, fail safe”.

Fighting common cold

Common cold is not caused by a single virus but a group of viruses. The disease  is cause by production of excess anti bodies to fight the foreign body. I feel that there is no need for a medicine at all to cure this if you ignore it and give no importance at all to it. You may consult a doctor only if it persists more than a week or so. The feeling that cold is not a disease at all should go deep within you the it reaches your sub conscience mind. Hence the resistance to cold will be reduced. I prefer taking lime juice during cold. I feel is improves my immune system and the very feeling will improve my immunity ( even if science says vitamin c doesn't improve immunity). So if catch cold next time just try it out. If it works u have avoided a dose f chemicals i to your body else you can do the regular way.
