Change Your Idea About Pain
When seeking to become better, something is clear. We are moving from an area where we are comfortable to another area where we might not feel immediately comfortable, but one thing is certain, we will become better. The act of becoming better is what everyone wants whether we admit it or not, but the idea about becoming better needs to be reviewed. When you feel pain in trying to achieve your goal, when you feel pain in becoming better, then you are on your pathway to becoming indeed great.

Pain is something that has to come when you have decided to go for great things because that is the price for greatness. If it was easy, everyone would have achieved success. Because it comes with pain and momentarily uncomfortable, we get to make the choice of either staying or falling off. When you decide to stay along and become better, the price you have to pay is PAIN. Pain can cause you unthinkably tough choices and decisions, but consider everything good in this world, it always goes through pain.

Before gold becomes really valuable, it goes through hours and hours of heat and comes out on the other side better. That is how you have to see and observe yourself. You are only at a stage that means you are getting ahead and the only way to get to the end is to stay a little longer.
In the journey of achieving your dreams, Pain should become an expected value. Pain should become a determinant that success is around the corner. That success is on the way. Never give up or run because you cannot handle the pain. Never pray for less pain, pray for more strength to handle the pain. Whatever it is, keep going and keep moving and it will soon be over.

Take your time today to analyze your pain and know that it means you are about to get something valuable and you need to persist a little more

Expectations: What Do You Expect?
So people sometimes stop at the middle of a task and give up. I ask myself why but I have come to understand a basic reason why that happens. Their expectation is never met. People stop things when they no longer see what they are expecting as a goal. Or people do not do anything at all because they expect a certain thing to always happen all the time.

It is not always the lack of expectation that makes us stop, but sometimes when we expect too little

A guy might never walk up to a lady because all he expects is she would not respond well. Well, he has an expectation, but guess what, he expected too little. Sometimes people are stagnant because they simply expect a certain result to always play out all the time. What we have to do to move to where we want to be is to expect more than what you currently expect. If you want to start a business, expect that it would succeed and also expect that it might fail. In this sense, your expectation is so wide that you would still be able to continue to proceed no matter what happens. You already expected it

The secret to expectation is to really take up your expectations to heart. I mean really believe in what you expect. Never simply expect without believing. Some people might say they expect something but do they really believe in that. It takes time to actually accept some things but expecting less is what makes us scared and stagnant.

Make it a decision today to expect a lot more from whatever it is you want to do. Try to expect far more than anyone would expect. Take your time to determine your expectations and never fall short of expecting big things.

Expect More and Be More

When You Feel Like Stopping
For the past few days, I have been having issues writing on medium. At times, I feel like stopping but is it really worth it to stop. I do really want to do more than I am currently doing. But at times, we feel like we are indeed very tired and feel like never moving forward. But one thing I have learned is never giving up on my dreams no matter how long it takes.

Great things take time to manifest and for me to become better, I believe it would take time to become better. I wish to send this message to everyone out there who wishes to stop whatever it is they are doing for whatever reason to never stop and never give up. I also wish to say that great men never had all the tasks easy which is indeed why they have become great men. Great men don’t do small tasks, they take on big and heavy tasks and they have time when giving up is the only option. But what they do is they create another option which is not giving up.

Always giving up is easy. It is the simplest option anyone can take. It is the easy way out. I hope to become better and would not do what everyone does. I want to be better so I have do the extra ordinary. The ordinary is for anyone. Extra ordinary is for great men. Success might not come today, tomorrow or the day after, but most definitely, if you follow the path of becoming successful, success is going to be an avenue and nothing would take you away from that.

So today, Remember to never give up and always keep doing the extra ordinary because you were not born to be ordinary. Keep doing what you have to do in the best way ever

So you are young and believe you can be anything you want to be. Day by day, you have friends, you have colleagues and life goes on. However, in our deepest of minds, we want to be better day by day, but some things happen naturally that we have no control over. As a young bachelor, the world wants us to focus on becoming successful. However, the world we live in now has a new definition of success in material terms that we feel really unsuccessful even when we do things that make others better, all we think and care about is materialistic success.

Does he have a car, a house or a nice job? All these are nice to have, but as a young person, the youthful age is when you have to work for what it is you really want in your life.

Naturally, youths have sexual desires and urges that can be fulfilled in the right or wrong way. People find it easy to assume the functions of marriage but people do not want to get married. You should be intimate only after marriage but we want to be intimate and not married. Are you simply running away from marriage or the responsibility that it comes with.

The world makes sex available at your bare feet but not advise people to do it the right way. People say you should not rush into marriage, but why not say do not rush into sexual relationships.

Girls all around walking naked all in the name of fashion and bachelors all around trying to shy away from nature. As a youth, I advise us today to take the right step towards becoming successful.

Success is doing what you are doing because that is what you want.

Marriage is hard, so is life. Does that mean we would not come out everyday to try make the world better. Ladies trying to walk around to impress men with sex that I find it difficult if ladies have no understanding between the world love and sex. Sex is what everyone can get, but love is meant to be for special people. Take a bold step today to never imitate people but follow in the path of your success. Make it a decision to never conform because that is what everyone is doing. If you do what everyone is doing, you would get what everyone gets.
Conformity is your greatest enemy.

Work because that is what you want and not because people around you are doing it, be in righteous relationships and never be in wrong relationships because everyone is doing it. It is our life and not the life of others. So you decide how it is going to be. Make a decision to become better today

Never Stop Going
The idea we have about successful people sometimes does not involve the aspects where they had to work even when they did not feel like it. We have the idea that people are successful because they always do what they love all the time. They do something they are passionate about. But wait, that is not always true. Passion is overrated. You just have to do that same thing every single day before it becomes a passion. It is simply something you do every day without second guessing yourself. Then it becomes a passion.

The idea that success is sweet makes us think that all the steps along the way to success must be fun and interesting. Runners might not find running easy but they have to run every single day. That is what is called passion

Passion is doing something day in day out whether you feel like it or not

When successful people give accounts of how they became successful, one thing is always certain. They never always did the easy thing, they had to go the hard way to achieve that which no one has ever achieved. 

Know that to become what no one has ever become, you have to do what no one has ever done. 

Skills take time to develop. They do not fall into our laps because we are talented. We need to keep moving every single day to determine whether we are indeed talented or simply not. Keep moving every single day towards your passion, towards your goal. Keep moving until you no longer have to think about moving. It just happens. Keep moving until you no longer feel the pain in moving. Just keep doing it and keep moving.

If programming and every other thing you do needs to become your passion. That simply means you have to keep moving forward without fear of rejection. Programming is hard, but if it was easy, everyone would have done it.
So take your time every day and keep moving forward. Keep going

Keeping Up With An Idea
Ideas are hard, ideas are easy. It depends on how frequent you have ideas and how much of your ideas have been executed. Well, I would say ideas are easy if you only think about them and do nothing. But ideas become rather hard when you follow up on them after thinking through about them. It is rather interesting to note that an idea is never owned by one man, but the success of the idea is owned by he/she who finally implements it.

Thinking about ideas without executing them is like imagining yourself at the beach while you are still in the comfort of your room. 
Simple progress day in day out is all that is needed to make an idea successful. People would only know what you did when the idea is ready. But a lot of people always want to create an unrealistic timeline for ideas which is why people sometimes give up half way into an idea. Ideas can be easy in the mind and simple to discuss, but every idea requires a certain amount of persistence and perseverance. It does not just happen.

It might take a minute, a hour, a day or even forever. But never give up on trying out your ideas. But note that ideas should not be written in stones that you cannot think of something else. Being consistent in ideas is nice, but know the point at which you need to take a break and diversify your brain energy into another idea. Becoming obsessed with an idea is nice, even if no one sees it from your perspective, but it is also important to know when to take a look at the idea from another perspective.

Ideas are life, Ideas are dreams imported from another realm into the planet earth

Never give up on trying to make your idea work, it does not mean always being on it, it simply means always trying to make the idea 1% better day in day out. It would indeed be very bad if you see another person execute your idea even badly and still makes people happy with it. Take your time today to review that idea and take small steps to make it happen

Follow The Standards: Test Your Code
The standards are not to be made too rigid that one cannot find his/her way around but must be made flexible and understandable so that people find it appealing to use and follow. Standards are everywhere, so is programming. The various standards that have come up in programming are being tested and retested everyday but as agile programmers, we sometimes see these standards as a waste of time.

One such standard is in the aspect of testing codes. We always have a feeling that my code works. Why test it. It is the same feeling we have when we say why fix it when it is not broken. It always looks like the act of testing is a task to be done once in a while in very few projects. But I believe it is time programmers begin to inculcate into themselves the culture of testing. I think learning basic programming should start with testing every single instruction we write. When you start learning to program, the idea of testing code is never a big issue. So it becomes rather difficult to bring up testing after a while when the programmer is already used to believing that their code works just fine.

It would indeed go in a great way to improve our code if programmers at every point in time learn to test, from the front-end to the back-end, from the engineers to the designers. Testing should not be left in the hand of clients who always feel the lash of the program when they have to use a software to determine what the problems are.

Testing is life. Testing is programming. Testing cannot be relegated

These words and many more are the various types of statements that should ring in the mind of programmers day and night so that they understand that Programming without testing is simply buying a mobile phone without guarantee that the phone works.
We might still buy the phone anyways but the fear in our hearts would indeed be very great. Its time to make the standards of testing a part of our daily routine and only then can we begin to write clean and clear code.

Finding Your Path
Becoming a programmer is no accident. You either choose to or not. Being in between means you are yet to discover what it is you want or you have discovered it and you are yet to make the move. What programming entails is a set of decisions needed to be made once and for all. Make the decision to become a programmer and go for it

People say becoming good at something requires a lot of passion. Programming is not about doing what others are doing because they are doing it. It is a set of actions to become better than who you were yesterday. Conscious and precise practice is what it takes to become a greater programmer. Plan to always move from where you are to where you want to be every single day of your life.

Take risks, see through obstacles and always find a solution. Take steps towards actions and do less of talking. Whatever it takes to become great legally and purposefully is what you need. Make practice and purpose your main goals and drive forward. Take opportunities and use them wisely. Be friendly and happy in your ways. Never take anyone for granted in the field of programming. Also do the best you can and always do them with passion and love. Your passion goes in a long way to determine how far you go in programming.

Kindly make the decision to make it a path to see and follow. Never become a programmer to please others. If what you do does not make you happy and help others happy, kindly take your time and find what it is you need to make you happy. Life is too short to sell your happiness for another.

Keep coding, keep programming and keep getting better

When You Want To Quit Programming
Programming is fun, programming is sweet, programming is easy. These are comments you receive or give on the days when you feel the vibe and love of programming. On days when things get really awkward, you feel like giving up and just going back to your room and sleeping. And sleeping forever.

The act of programming is never getting the solution every single time although that is what you want to feel every time.
It is about trying to never give up every single day when you feel like giving up. It is about making a new resolution to try programming again tomorrow even if you did not get it right away. I believe the key to becoming better at programming is knowing that some days would be bad and some days would be good. But never let the bad days decide what you finally become. Who you would become is greatly dependent on what you do on your bad days towards making it a good day.

Never let your bad days get the best of you

Every day is what we make it. You decision to make it good or bad depends on you. It would always want to be bad but if you try just one more time, I believe you can change the result. Programming is fun and easy only at the end. If it is not fun and easy, you are not at the end. You are likely at the first chapter of the problem. The first chapters are always easy to read and gives you a fine rush to continue reading. However, right into the book, in the middle, you feel like dropping the book. But if you endeavor to keep up reading, you would soon get to the other end where everything is nice and fun.

Before you give up today, kindly take a minute to try not quitting. Know that every day comes with its own lessons. You just learnt for today. Nothing lasts for long even your finest code. Enjoy the good days and endeavor to persist in the bad days. They all don’t last for long

Just Start It
A while ago, I had an idea to start a project that records all the errors ever encountered in every project ever made in my company. Well, there are a lot of applications that allow you do that was all my inner mind was telling me. But day after day, I see programmers running around trying to solve the same problem that was once solved by another programmer. Having an idea can be simple compared to really executing the idea. We have the mindset of starting big and being big sometimes scares us, so we choose to give up and do less important tasks to fill our day rather than really doing what we love to do.

I want to inform you that if you keep leaving your idea without execution, you would one day see another person executing the same idea and all you would say was I did have this idea. And so what if you had the idea, start something today. The world moves rather fast making us believe that we also need to catch up and move with the same speed as the speed of the era. However, this is completely false as the path you follow is based on you and you alone. Nobody can tell you what path to follow if you have a right path ahead of you.

So what am I saying? That little idea you have being nurturing. It's time to start building it day by day, a piece at a time. Do not rush it, for you can be overwhelmed by what it brings. Break the barrier of simply thinking of ideas and doing nothing about it. If you really want to be a person who leaves a remarking impact on earth, then it is time you start moving from where you are and moving to where you want to be.
You are not a tree if you do not like where you are, MOVE.

People seem to get comfortable with where they are hoping that the situation would magically change itself. NO, it would not. You need to make a move and see how things go. Being a programmer or any other great person is about moving towards your goal daily and it involves you JUST STARTING today

11. You alone can make it successful
The finest lie of all times is to think that people stay in a relationship because they use all the advice they get from relationship books and forums. The ability of a marriage to remain rock solid is to be able to be together even after going through very tough times together and never giving up on one another.

The sincere secret is if both of you are indeed willing and ever ready to make it work. The advice people give are just what we feel can guide you but the ultimate secret of long lasting relationship is the undying commitment to make the relationship work out.

Always do the best you can as far as you believe the relationship is indeed the best for you. Relationships don't fix themselves. Humans have to

Mentorship: A Simple Key to Success
Recently, I got a message from a friend who wants me to be his mentor in programming. I believe I have not yet attained the stage of mentoring anyone but the simple truth is you do not know when you have either. People simply feel you have attained that stage and believe whatever it is you say to them concerning development. As a programmer, we always want to choose to be alone with our computers always doing what we love to do best, coding. We live as if the world is going to be forever, but here is the fact, we cannot live forever.

For the time we all have left, let us share whatever little experience it is we have. The world needs to be a better place by the type of information we put into the world. No matter how small a certain information is, as far as it has been of help to you, it would most definitely be of help to another person. You do not have to affect a thousand people before you believe you have made any impact. Just for a single person to read and appreciate whatever it is you have written or spoke about is all that matters. Stop expecting to change the world big. Kindly start small. 

As a programmer, the code we write are the basic resources we live when we die, but the guidance and advise we give to others stay forever. That code might just be deleted and started again tomorrow, but that life you help influence would always remember you as the great programmer who helped make someone better. The world is far beyond you alone, the world is about how much you are willing to contribute. It is not about how happy you are, it is about how much meaning you put into another person’s life. 

Think and think again. The world is limited, but the ideas and advice we give live on forever till the world ends. Make it a part of you to become better everyday. Start mentoring and let us make the programming world a better place

10. Fight for It
So you decided you no longer care for your relationship and you want to get out, before you make that decision, note that there is a 50% chance you might never get a relationship better than that one you are leaving behind. Try within your human power to make the relationship work before you slam the door.

It is always easy to leave and start another relationship, but it is harder to stay and maintain the current relationship. Always think through before you use the exit door. However, if it is a relationship where you are morally and verbally abused. Dump everything I have said and make it to the exit door.

For whichever relationship you are in, kindly take your time to do your best to make it work. The world needs more love stories beyond Romeo and Juliet. I want to write about your relationship.

Follow the Hard Way, Programming is not Easy
So a lot of people ask you if they can learn Java in two weeks and I am like are you really seriously asking that question. Learning and especially in programming is not a task you start and finish, it is a life-long obligation to becoming better and mastering the act of solving problems. So do we always know how to solve all the problems, well the answer is obvious.

So to anyone who wants to understand a certain framework or technology, I believe you should stop allocating time to learn and understand a certain thing. You can allocate time to understand the basics but never have in mind that after a certain time you stop learning. Programming is no joke, it is similar to marriage in that you just learn the basics before you start it, but once you start, you keep learning for all the days of your life.

So, it is important that you know that programming is not as easy as you see it in movies and even if you are able to master the basics in two weeks, it still requires a lot and lots of practice to become better at it. You do not become a champion overnight, you need to pay the price. Pay the price of lots and lots of practice, day after day. And for whatever you learn, try as much as possible to apply it to a certain problem around because a lot of people understand certain technologies, but our inability to show and apply what they have done almost makes them look as if they have no knowledge about the technology at all.

And lastly, stop jumping from one technology to another just become a certain blog said that the technology is the next best idea after slice bread. Take your time to research any new thing you want to work on so that you do not spend a lot of time on a lot of different things and cannot make a single program out of it.

So I specifically have nothing to say today. But this also happens in relationships when you specifically have nothing to say. Understand when your spouse is in their down times and want to be left alone for a while. We love our spouses but sometimes we simply just want to be alone.

Understanding this would create a balance in our relationships. But always try to understand what makes our spouse moody and try to abstain from it.

Enjoy your weekend.

A Day away from Programming
So my office decided to organize a hackathon event on Algorithms. Most programmers were tired from the long week of work and could not make it to the event. So the event held anyways with the people present solving a Dynamic Programming Problem. It was nothing much but was really hard to implement. Afterward, we decided to go out of the office and go for a break outside.

I would seriously advise programmers to take some few times out once in a while to go places which are not necessarily programmer related fields. Take some time out to visit nice places and get some great energy refill for your body. So we went to the cinema but did not really watch any movie and we went out to have pizza and milkshake.

These few activities might not mean a lot to a programmer but I assure you it creates a certain sense of energy in the body and mind clearing whatever backlog you have in your memory stack and letting you view a certain problem from another perspective. Being around the office and programming environment always creates a certain fixed perspective to a certain problem but taking some few minutes outside of your everyday zone would go a long way in improving the mindset of how to solve problems.

Also, it makes a lot of sense if this is done in groups as it breaks out the normal routine of being only with your laptop all day long. Organizations that really want their programmers to succeed needs to inculcate the group socializing attitude to help improve productivity and help change the mindset of programmers. This might not have an immediate business value for the company but in the long run, it would definitely pay off.

Once again, I appreciate the effort of my organization in helping to create the “A Day from the Programming World” experience. It was really fun.

When next is the course starting?

https://www.coursera.org/specializations/data-structures-algorithms

It starts on the 12th of December, 2016

It is a specialization course which spans over a period of 6 months. Each part takes 1 month to complete and that means it has 6 parts. Please do let me know if you would be joining the course so that we can try share some ideas

9. Whats Your Goal?
So you really like your spouse and everything is going on fine. Wait before you proceed, what plans do you have for your family? I mean in the next 5 years, where do you see your family? What impact would you have had in your family.

Keep trying to develop yourself and your family every single day because if you have no goal you are strictly adhering to, you would move around life like a dirt on the ocean following wherever the tired carries it.

Make a plan today of what exactly you want to achieve for your family. It must not be something very big, just start small. Start with changing yourself before you ask your family members to join you.

Take it upon yourself to change for the best. The world needs more of good people and it starts with YOU

Ups and Downs In Programming
When you see the geeks and nerds code the whole time, you simply ask yourself if you can be like that. I mean having a high spirit to program every single day. But so far, I believe every day is not always a high point for a programmer. Sometimes you feel like coding for the whole day and sometimes you feel like dropping the programming profession and simply starting afresh elsewhere.

But I believe it is how we handle our down days that really determine how good we really become. It is how you act on those days you feel like staying in bed all day and doing nothing more. These are the days that really determine who you really are in the field of programming. Programming is about solving problems and so your down days is also a problem that needs to be solved.

Don’t beat yourself up if it is a rather simple mistake that made you feel down. No matter what makes you feel down in your low days, always remember the good days ahead. Never think that programming is an everyday sweet adventure. Some days would be so boring while others would be the best of your life.

How you can pass through the down days is to realize and acknowledge days that are indeed your down days and understand why you are indeed down. Seek methods within yourself to prevent what happened to happen ever again. In your down days when productivity is all time low, kindly find time to relax, feel the world, change perspective and do some more things not related to programming.

Give yourself a break and always remember that you are not stupid or bad, you are simply experiencing what every single programmer faces once a while.

I am currently trying to focus on Algorithms and Datastructures. Started a course at Coursera on that. Try check it out too. It spans around 6 months

Raine80:

Not many people admit they have problems with their marriage ...they focus on external causes few look inward.

I can't but agree with your post. Most people find it easy to accuse the other person or the other thing or even the government of not being responsible while we cannot even hold ourselves accountable for our own deeds and mistakes. Being human is about making mistakes and correcting them, but most importantly admitting that we have a weakness and we are trying to work on it

Couples should take time to review their personal being and decide whether to continue on the path of accusing every single thing in their lives for their problems or simply take the bulls by the horn and decide to turn their lives around because you and only one are responsible for what we become.

Please let us give better relationships a chance so that future generations can believe in love in relationships rather than an avenue to seek for sexual fulfillment only.

Try One More Time
So I decided to work on a new project and chose to use semantic UI for the front-end design. So here I am happy about starting until I could not set up the semantic project using npm. I took my time to actually go through the site trying to understand one or two things before I decided to install using npm. But it was like I did not even understand anything, my mind was already saying negative things about how my competency was in question as I could not install this project.

I tried reading the log to understand what was happening. I updated node on my system but was still the same thing. What else would I do? I simply had to download the simple zip folder of the project and continue. By the way, I showed a colleague the error it was throwing and he also tried but did not work out then. In my mind, I was like this is impossible. Little did I know that the key to getting it done is doing it one more time.
What had been causing the whole trouble was that I did not run npm init on the new folder I was using before I started the project.

This was what my colleague later told me was the problem. And when I tried it, indeed the solution was right there. So whatever issue it is you are facing today, it might not work out right away but the secret to getting it done is doing it one more time. Share your problems with friends, trying to solve a problem alone is awesome but sometimes you have someone right next to you who has the answer. Before asking your colleague, endeavor to run every possible way of solving the problem and if it still does not work out. Pass it around to your friends and colleagues, share your problems and never ever forget to Try Again One More Time.

We break at a certain point and convince ourselves that we are not good enough. Being good enough is not the point, it is about being able to not give up even when a problem seems unsolvable. As a programmer, your daily life involves solving problems and any problem that comes really easy is not worth it. So do take a few more seconds and look at that problem again. You might just have skipped one line or one instruction. Do try again one more time

8. Compliments
We do things because we believe they are the right things to do. However, we become better at doing those stuff when we know someone on the other side appreciates whatever it is we are doing. So is relationship, when a partner does something for the other, he/she feels they are doing the right thing.

However, when not complimented, we quickly feel what we are doing is not really necessary or important and we want to stop. A lot of relationships today simply fade off due to the lack of compliments. Kindly make it a habit to express gratitude for anything your partner does or gives. It really means a lot to couples.
Kindly make it a habit to express gratitude and compliments to your partners no matter how small whatever it is they have done.

Do less to Achieve More
Most of the time when people consider becoming better, they think about adding something to what they are currently doing. But isn’t it better you try to reduce the overall load you have on you to become better. It is not always about how much we carry, it is about how efficient we do the tasks we have. This is why I want to speak to myself today through this post, it does not always make sense to do every single thing you think can make you better to become better. Sometimes it is about removing some little things from our lives that indeed makes us better.

Consider for example all the plans you have set for yourself in the next quarter, it is mostly about doing more and becoming more. But wait, does doing more mean becoming more. No, kindly look back at the number of things you have tried doing and how many have really scaled past the first stage. But imagine you spent all your energy in about half of those tasks, then you might have achieved more.

Some reasons why we seem to pick a lot of tasks is because we tend to lose patience with one thing and the next thing that comes to mind is to start another. My suggestion is simple, kindly drop all those other stuff and focus simply on one and only one thing at a time. Put all your efforts into making that single thing succeed. With that, you can begin moving from one task to another. This suggestion does not mean becoming monolithic or something else, it simply suggests you do more on one task than sharing all the energy on different tasks without achieving any.

Make it a priority today to work towards achieving success in a single task and use that approach every single day.

7. Daily Habits
Have you ever noticed why there is a strong relationship between kids especially those who do a lot of thing together? It is because most of their habits conform to one another. Kids bathe together, eat together, sleep in the same room, fight together and as such are always together.

How many relationships these days can boast of even eating together? When habits of couples do not intersect, the idea of love is never present. People who want to take themselves as couples must always learn to do a lot of things together. When you have habits that are always done together in the house, it builds a really great relationship.

Make a decision today to start something together that creates a family habit. Couples can pick any of the following habits and start with together because the only thing most couples do is only sex. Beyond sex, there are a lot of other activities that can build greater bonds of relationships

1. Cleaning -- I mean wash together, bathe together, have your nails cleaned and trimmed by your spouse
2. Eat Together
3. Plan your day Together
4. Pray together.

And a lots more. Some of these tips can be funny, but the pathway to a great relationship is always about starting small

A lot of programmers develop relationships with one and only one thing: their laptop. This really sounds very great and productive until you discover that it is indeed one of the wrong things to do. Before you disagree, kindly read through.

We are in a world where people believe they do not need others to achieve success. People believe they can simply survive in the world all by themselves. Yes, that is really good and very great. But remember as a programmer, your greatest strength never lies in being able to work alone. Your strength lies in being able to work together as a team. You are the best programmer in an organization but if everyone does not like to work with you, then your value as a programmer is not really appreciated.

I might argue that if Steve Jobs was still alive, Apple would make better designs than it currently is. However, Jobs is dead and I see no one who has really been trained to take over the works of Jobs. So as a programmer, no matter how good you are, kindly find time to build relationships and I mean great relationships with people around you, because no matter how good you really are, you cannot be here forever. Build relationships that truly matter, make time out to become a better team player.

In the world of programming, very few job placements would require a programmer work alone, however, on a lot of jobs, you have to work as a team even if you are not physically together. Make your team better, discuss whatever silly idea it is you have in mind. Most of us want to act cool and not appear foolish at meetings, so we keep our thoughts to ourselves. Never ever have a time and think as such. The moment you do so, you have already left the team.

Communicate in whatever form you think is necessary, let people know what you feel about a certain idea or concept and never ever be alone. Even computers can never work alone. They need to be interconnected to give us the access that we seek.

Make it a habit today to break away from your normal self-attitude and move around building relationships with people who make you better and indeed feel better.

6. Communication
Communication is one of the greatest gift any relationship can have. To be able to communicate your deepest fears to your spouse without any fear of embarrassment is so key that without it, relationships are just a bunch of different people without any common interest. Always find time in this hard time in Nigeria to confide in your spouse some of your fears. You cannot trust your spouse, so who can you trust.

Being in a relationship without the commitment to communication is like entering a plane where the pilot and the copilot do not communicate all through the journey. Well, there is a very great chance that the journey would crash somewhere along the way.

Remember, relationships are about teamwork. Communication strengthens teams. So make the step together to be better in your relationship. Discuss your greatest fears with your spouse and never feel afraid of doing that.

These are not the Almighty Not Wrong Advice. They are simple words that I hope would help build relationships.

Writing a CV as a Programmer
So I just a mail from my boss to submit my CV. Well, one can simply check online and submit something. Yes, you can, but writing a CV as a programmer is kind of different from writing a normal CV. This is not the type of CV where the school you went to is what is most interesting or the grade you graduated with. Well, they kind of matter, but what is most important is what you can do or what you have done.

A brief description of your name and your contact info is basically okay at the beginning. Then you start providing information about what and where you have made a difference. Your GitHub, LinkedIn and lots more are the type of contact information that wants to be seen in your CV. Provided you have worked on a lot of projects, then it is simply easy to provide a brief description of those projects. But however, if you do not have a resounding previous work experience, there are a lot of other interesting things you can add. So what can I add?

Provide first your best academic achievements. Endeavor to write very briefly about your grade if you really have a strong grade from school. Your previous work experience in whatever little business or organization is necessary. Endeavor to use less fancy text in your CV as programmers are not really thrilled by the fanciness of your CV but the fanciness of what you can do.

A lot of things about CV is that there are a lot of things to not add to your CV but very few things. Do not provide a lot of history about who you are, your ancestral history is really not needed. What you look like is not an option, kindly remove those. It is far better to have a small CV than a bunch of unnecessary information on a piece of paper.

Provide information that shows that you have the zeal to succeed even if you have not yet had any opportunity as doing anything big. Always remember, all it takes is one silly mistake to get your CV in the trashcan. Endeavor to prevent that as much as possible. Review and always review your CV before you send it out to anyone anywhere.

Take more courses online, try to get more certificates and a bit of what makes you better is all it takes to have a better CV. Write more on special websites, do more on free websites and I believe the impact of what you can do is all a CV wants to show the world.

Programming and REST
When you work by a programmer’s desk and you ask if he/she has had time to rest lately, the answer is always obvious. NO. I would shortly. A lot of programmers believe in working there best 24 hours a day. Well, that is a good goal to aim, but as we all know, we are humans so that simply means it is not possible. As a programmer, the most important part of your body is the brain and as long as it does not relax, it does not find time to generate new ideas. As long as new ideas are not born, the value of being a programmer is extinguished. Never have a seen a brilliant programmer who does not have to think and work on ideas.

But how much rest should a programmer have. A programmer should rest as much as possible when tasks are not as much. However, in peak hours, the idea of rest finds its way out of the mind of the programmer and the programmer can go on for hours coding. But never make this a habit. Running long hours coding and only resting for few hours will only take you so far but not far enough. The idea of spending hours on the computer is about spending quality time on the computer and not just any amount of time.

Always create a schedule that allows you enough time to work and also enough time to give the brain rest. The idea of resting should not be a taboo to a programmer. As a programmer, I would love to spend 10,000 quality hours on my computer rather than just spending any time on my computer. 

The whole idea is work enough but always make sure you rest enough because your health as a programmer is indeed your wealth.

5. Misconception About Love
What is Love? Am I In Love? What is the reason why I am in Love?

Truth be told. A lot of people are simply sex starved and any avenue to resolve that issue seems like love to a lot of us. I actually believe LOVE is far more than we have seen in Movies or have read in novels. Love is strictly not what we think it is. So what is LOVE?

Personally, I believe LOVE is the ability to help someone change into becoming better while sticking with them in their bad time. So can you simply love someone and stop loving them. I believe LOVE is simply a process, not a product. It is a commitment to make someone better no matter how bad or inadequate they think they are. LOVE is about making that person better than he/she was yesterday. LOVE is a two-way thing. When you LOVE and you are not loved in return, LOVE becomes something else. LOVE is about communicating every single thing you have in mind with your partner without fear of being ridiculed or being disgraced. LOVE is caring for others even when they do not care.

Simply, LOVE is doing something for the other person which in turn makes the other person feels good and better. At the beginning of a relationship, both couples do things to make the other person look good, but after a while, it stops. At this point, you say there is no LOVE between the couples anymore. As long as we try to make the other person better, we are definitely in LOVE.

Our parents love us so much which is why they always do things to make us better. As long as couples do things to become better. The process of LOVE has indeed found a foundation. Couples out there should please endeavor to make the relationship better so that future generations do not view relationship as means to serve sex and simply procreate.

We can all do better by making the commitment today to make the relationship better. To make my partner better but also never forgetting to make myself better.
