It took a long time for me to realize that the most precious things that you can give to someone is your time and attention ... :) Now trying hard to make up for the lost days...

#Thoughts
Time and again , I have been reminded that getting into Oracle was the best thing happened in my life so far...And deciding to move out of it was the best decision I have ever made.

New Year Resolution
Any commendable achievement has two parts..A DREAM part and the real HARD WORK part...
I think I have mastered the art of dreaming in the last two years...I have tried to expand my horizons, my vision, and to refine my senses and intuition so that I can trust myself with a reasonable degree.. But dreams stay as dreams unless one is ready to sweat it out...and this is going to be the biggest challenge for me...to put in the sheer man hours...
All through my student life, I remember, hard work has always been looked down ...Those were the 'smart kids' who could score well in tests without studying much..Perhaps the only period in student life where hard work was appreciated was the entrance preparation period. Elsewhere , if you put in an extra hour , you were considered as dumb...And I have been reasonable lazy through out my life...
The maximum productive hours which I could ever dream of on a given day is hardly 4 hours..Never ever have I gone more than 5 hours in my entire life...But I have seen people who could command hours at their will...people who could easily put 10-12 hours on a consistent basis..I have seen such people go on and score 19th rank in civil service exams in their very first attempt, or perhaps score 99.94 percentile in CAT or perhaps hit 770 in GMAT.
The ability to work hard is part genetic and part cultural. I think I have been deceived in both aspects.
So this is going to be my New Year resolution...
That I should be able to 'command time and attention at my will'...That I should be able to put 10-12 hours on a consistent basis to my work..
Wishing myself good luck,
RK
