1ST HARD HITTING LESSON FROM COLLEGE

 BE Stubborn


This is the 1st lesson college taught me. It taught me hard. It slapped tight and hard on my face and I cried. I cried a lot.


I always thought that being stubborn is a bad quality one might possess, but in some cases, it’s not. It's showing others how confident you are about it and how much effort you have put into it.


Today I failed to be stubborn.


Remember the saying: "When you engage in people-pleasing, you are out of integrity with yourself." This is also applicable when you are not stubborn with yourself and your ideas.


What exactly? Be stubborn about your goals & flexible about your methods. If you are confident about something and if you have a proper plan, never ever step down. Never!


And never be afraid to take responsibility. It’s not about saying "paatukalam" to your teammates. It’s about giving them an idea.


It involves organizing, having a proper plan in your head or better, on a piece of paper, and if you are a team lead, take up that responsibility of documenting.

Okay so why am I writing all of this? Three of us lost our opportunity to express our idea because of one selfish dude, about whom I don’t wanna talk about , but I can’t blame him. I should have been stubborn at that time and I must not have nodded my head like that. We had everything documented, planned, and rehearsed, but because of my lack of stubbornness, we lost the opportunity to even express our idea, forget about getting selected.


Being stubborn. Be Determined, and stay strong.

  This is a compilation of what Aishwarya shared in an interview I conducted with her. I've known Aishwarya for over 16 years. From a young age, she was interested in editing software, starting at just 10 years old. When I asked her what sparked her interest in graphic design , she explained that her innate creativity found an outlet in graphic design, allowing her to create amazing designs. Recently, I enjoyed exploring Aishwarya's Instagram, and I was truly impressed by her unique style and creativity. Her designs are a wonderful blend of simplicity and innovation, each piece reflecting her keen eye for detail and artistic flair. Aishwarya's journey into graphic design truly began during the lockdown. She started by making birthday videos for friends, some of the best I've seen. She mostly used her mobile phone and Filmora for her edits, gradually exploring more tools and delving into video editing. Regarding the software she uses, Aishwarya began with beginner-frien...

XML vs. JSON: Understanding the Differences for Efficient Data Exchange

In data exchange, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) are widely used formats. Both have their strengths and weaknesses; understanding their differences is crucial for choosing the right one for your needs. Syntax XML : Uses a tag-based syntax. JSON : Utilizes a key-value pair syntax enclosed in curly braces {} or square brackets [] . Example: XML: <person>    <name>Harini</name>    <age>20</age> </person> JSON: {    "name": "John Doe",    "age": 30 } Data Types JSON : Supports a variety of data types including strings, booleans, arrays, and objects. XML : Considers all data as text, though it can represent complex structures using attributes and nested elements. Schema and Validation Schema and validation play a crucial role in ensuring data integrity and structure. I would love to share an analogy I read, If coding was cooking, the schema would be the...
