Today morning I was telling my friend not to worry about a subject. I was saying that dont feel that the problem is big which makes it even bigger ;) This lead to a very good thought. A thought provoking thought.
A Sailor sails in his ship & covers the breadth of the seas. Seldom cares how deep they are. His goal is to travel across. A Diver, on the other hand, travels vertically touching down the sublime limits of the sea. He jumps in the sea & tries to touch down. His exploration is in depths.
On the same lines, one can attain knowledge in breadth, more like a technologist who tries to know as many things as possible with out which the very essence of calling him a technologist would be in vain or in depth like a researcher who selects a particular domain & tries to gain immense knowledge in that science.
A technologist is more like a sailor whilst a researcher, a diver.
I m feeling a bit happy that after a long long time, I have thought something which makes some sense. ;)
Good Night

My Mind
Mind is a wonderful instrument. I call it an instrument because its in the hands of the beholder to use it the way he wants. Its powers are unlimited and this can only be realized by regularly excercising it, training the brain the way you want it to be like. Call it meditation or whatever.
Its imaginations are simply incredible. I love my mind for its creativity and ability to imagine anything that can bring solace to me anytime. At the same time, the same mind scares me by the kind of phobias it has, the kind of pessimistic thoughts it generates, & sins it makes in its thoughts. Its my worst curse, I feel at times, which makes me dejected.
Two extemistic ends of my mind are they. Too wonderful, Too petrifying. Too Bold, Too Coward. Meditation will surely help me but I am lazy for almost every good thing. But an article that I read yesterday of Alex Stepanov addressing Programmers had motivated me enough, I believe, to start of doing useful things which will improve my knowledge and the capabilities of my mind.
Lets see.. Whats the Final Destination of my MIND !!!
