And yet again I am late to the party.

Party Time

So now I am going to try get to it, and be on time.

So how am I going to approach this top, 5 of my top words.

So here goes:
"Most people suffer from the delusion of privacy"
Privacy, this relates to security, well and who doesn't like that.

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." - C. S. Lewis

Goal: Goals give people a reason to live, a place to go, somewhere to be.

"Just do it" - Nike
Do: is action. Without action your goals will not get accomplished.

"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action." Mother Teresa
Love: Who doesn't enjoy love from others. Love is something everyone Needs and Wants.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein
Results: Something everyone gets, to some degree or another. One thing about results, is that no matter how small they are, they cause ripples in ones life.

I am a Hedgehog

So when thinking about this First Days Topic, I have been very indecisive and one of the things I was told to do is to write a piece on the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the topic.

"Even if you know me well, you don’t know this." 

I am a Hedgehog

Imagine waking up one day, opening your eyes, and instead of this humongous human, that we all are, you wake up to be a small, insignificant hedgehog. I have, and I will take the time now to explain my thought pattern to what happened next.

There are a number of thoughts running through my head, at the present point in time. The first thing why are things so large, everything is bigger here than before. The size of things that I used to interact with on a daily basis are now all like wow, so large.

On the Beach

The feeling of insignificance is really kicking in now, there is not much that one can do when being so small. The time you went to the sea, to swim, now imagine, those waves. I know I would not like to get these little feet of mine wet.

Wet Feet

There are some scary things that can happen to such a small creature, through these untainted eyes. Coming from a place of comfort where, there were no dangers, Too this.

What are the dangers, what can bite, friend or foe. Where to stand, don't make the wrong move. Just please, why does this happen to me. Yet again thinking about all the dangers that stand between me and where ever my little heart desires to take me, scaring me. These dangers how big can they be, how scary are they.

Thinking, what is fear in my eyes, fear is the unknown. What is there or what is not there, what can you expect. Although if you think about it the one thing that can be said about that, what happiness tomorrow, what is going to happen in 5 minutes? well I guess its the unknown.

Confident?

With this renewed confidence, how will this little hedgehog approach the world?

I guess, I am a hedgehog, born to survive, no matter how deep the waters are. If things get hairy, what should I do, listen to my gut feeling, instinct. Something I have, something I believe most people have. Follow the decision with no regrets.

good attempt?

OverView

Sadness Lately I have not been writing here at all, and as you may see, I did not complete the month writing challenge, which is a little sad. Although as a result of the new year and things I want to accomplish this year, I think I will be starting this up again. This year I have planned to learn alot, and try startup a few things on the side, to help myself and hopefully help others.

Day 7... Wow

Inspired by art.

Art, by definition:

the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

So how does this pertain to me?

Well some thing that I may find quite awesome, you may not, how this relates to me, well...

Code

Yes code, a for of art, creative skill and imagination to solve ones problems.

Some thing that us as humans may think is so "simple" is well complex in a developers life.

One such example is sorting. Sorting of what?
Sorting of names, numbers, sorting of locations, rearranging locations.

Thing about what we sort out on a daily basis? I can think of a few, namely:
The sorting of cups, when unpacking a dishwasher, sorting and managing todo lists (from most important to least, or lest fun to most) and in the greater scheme of things, parking.

The latter, parking, may not really be defined as sorting, but rather finding a place to park. Now Imagine you had no way of telling which parking's were taken and not. It would just be a guessing game for us to tell which parking you can use. Well, thank goodness we can tell which ones are taken and now, and from that list we may break it down even more, which open parking is the closest to me, which one is the closest to the door or we may run some complex thought process to which parking is the most likely to be open when I get to it, taking into consideration road direction, number of cars and distance from shopping center door.

Another example, to sugar coat it, is when you pick out your favorite sweets from a assortment of them, of your favorite smarty.

This as you can sort of figure out, are some form of sorting.

Now in code, these algorithms are an art of pure creative thinking, and individuals skill to how simply they can solve a complex issue.

Fear

One of my greatest fears

Ohh my greatness, which one to choose? The one to tell the world.

What could it be?

So recently I have been working with a few people, that I would not say are the more productive people. This got me thinking about productivity.

How being productive is something good for us as humans. Look at us, the world, how everything has become more and more productive over the past. Its a scary feeling to one day not being able to work, or contribute to things.

I look at myself now, for the past year I have watched countless hours of series, the hours I have wasted with that, I... well I actually don't really want to know. Looking at that, and seeing how people are wasting their lives away is a scary thing.

I don't want to ramble on to much about time management and waste, but I think that is my greatest fear, is becoming something I regret, being unproductive at my youthful age.

The thing that drives me with regards to this, is ambition, I would like to think.

haha :)
