Thoughts

When an interesting problem strikes us, a flash of thoughts and various concerns floods into our mind and they turn into vague visuals. To convert them into real world stuff, we have to begin with concrete models. The importance of a note taking application at this point is very crucial, we need to draw models, we need to sketch arrows, we need to sketch workflows, we need to write appropriate descriptions.

And it is a crucial point for productivity, it is also important that how much importance you give at this stage to your ideas, this has something to do the amount of respect you give to your own thoughts.
So doing a computer application which can do it wisely is a NP hard problem, because I think for this pre-alpha stage of thoughts nothing is better than a pen and a paper. The best thought processing toolkit is a pan and paper, no application can disrupt it.

Identity is misconstrued, we are not speaking the identity, we are being driven, something drives us and we are escapist. I know the angle, the angle you are thinking from, and here is my one, it is classical, classical in sense as I think it is, it is the virtue.
Suddenly it feels so important looking bare at this virtue and after a few minutes the fake residing identity kills the virtue, your own virtue and it all lefts you with no real. It is a life long practice to always think about reminding yourself about your own virtues, it is as important as to have a virtue.

Life is an evolving process,
The greatest part which inspires us is philosophy and the smart part which really works is practicality.
And in between them there are lots of lines and sharp edges made up of obligations, prejudices, instincts, society, kind of infrastructure we have, number and thickness of boilerplates we need to face and passion to hold them.

Build lungi from a fabric which people usually use
And for the skin, this fabric is identified with
No matter what processing cycle is, end product should be just wearable lungi
Supply the lungi where people can see it
Sell the lungi, where people wear lungi
Tell them it's not raymond but a raymond for you
and when you tell this, observe lungi they are wearing
Leave your pants and start using lungi

..
and rest is good luck.

There is some secret sauce in categorizing things under two categories. There are two types of creative people, one who think they are creative and other are too busy to get this thought in their head.

It's problematic to assert your type to yourself again and again. If you have more memories thinking yourself, about being something and more you are building, less are the probabilities and vice versa.

Varieties of problems and solving them might be a challenging task. More you flood yourself with problems, requirement of swapping area and capacity to hold all of that increases. At first, solving a hard problem itself is a challenge, then solving two tough problems one advocating left brain and one advocating right brain even might be a more difficult task.

Changing the focus is pain. But changing focus again and again can give you the power of critical analysis for your own work. You work at one corner, solution seems useful then you have to travel far to land on the other corner then you see your solution from different prospectus, this can give a more better way to think about your own approach.

Studying things and getting things done are entirely two different approaches :
When we study we make models of thinking, a hypothetical garden of fruits in our mind which keeps changing again and again until we find such which satisfies our all equations. In this situation when we have formed an opinion or a stable model, it is useful to test against real world problems. But before that its good to solve questions and studying the same thing from different approach or from different focus.
ignoring out that stable model which I am talking about, is easy and more near to natural strategies to solve real world problems when we keep one, while reading concepts or studying basic things. So when we are studying the same thing from different approach we can also choose to keep a different agenda in our mind.
Getting things done is a different approach. We want to solve a thing which is of our interest, though all those models we have developed were developed because we also wanted to solve a problem of our own interest, but just for that we read and observed lots of things which might not fall in our interest. Getting things done is a mapping from real problems of our interest to possible ways of solving problem lying in our mental models.

Basics are subject to revise them continuously over and over frequently, but this need arises from the ambition to build higher bricks from elementary.

This may be a common approach to neglect basics when they seem obvious , and oblivious to be revised but they provide us more clearer view of world and more importantly provides us solid reasons of having certain aspects about things around us.

Genuine things arise from the cutting edge of imitation, you find your existence when there are certain limitations and unsolved problems, but to reach where you know solutions are ; is a very long journey indeed, that is some point where you will stand, have been through all sort of tricks and knowledge used so far.
Some problems which are easy to solve has invisible barrier to entry points, may be going for it isn't that cool or the buzz you want to create is very less. Interviewing yourself is also such a problem. I want you to repeat yourself again and again. I believe that experience comes from repeating works.

When we follow the self decided path we notice that every thing says same, including the bad article which you have been through, you know yourself that it also wanted to say the same. I tell you one important thing, not because I am someone to say, just because I saw some of them and their way they happens. We repeat things, no no , you are getting me absolutely wrong, we don't repeat our work, we repeat others in us. I love the difference between declaration and definition, we all know just declaration of functions is not enough, without definitions programs never compile. Pardon my words if they are harsh.
If you have done really an awesome thing and somebody knows, he will let other know, good things asserts itself, am I right ? no.. right, wrong doesn't mean anything, don't share too much of yourself. If you really want to build something great, (yes me too) then best thing is to observe, not individuals, work done by those individuals.
Creation is not some rocket science, it is a measure of time + evaluated behavioral science along with the time. You know science is great, technology is great, it's also an ally of your procrastination, you never want to know how much of your behavioral science intersects with this great science. Are you just engulfed in choices or doing good with your decisions, lots of choices doesn't mean that we are doing good, our decisions make us great. Notice yourself while doing work, while reading newspaper, how you read it, your eyes want to get over the whole newspaper in just one second because you keep always in your mind that there is much more than this.
Our psychology is symbolic, when we cry , when we laugh we certainly have something in our mind, that's good to know, notice yourself define those symbols and tune them, most of them are unnecessary lying there, remove them and free yourself. In the end you will teach yourself - either it is a wrong statement or be a right statement, they wanted to say the same thing, "don't get me wrong, get me always right'.
