A Mom with a different attitude.

A small boy was trying to remove a bottle of milk. when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor - a sea pool of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him or punishing him, she said, "My dear son, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

The small guy felt so much happy and played in the Pool of milk for a while.

After a few minutes, his mother said, "Son, you know, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you prefer?"

He chose the sponge and they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it."

The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. The guy then realized mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't work," we usually learn something valuable from it.

Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way she responded to him?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all respond to people who we manage in a similar manner too? Help someone learn from his / her mistakes?

View on Software Industry

Most people discourage persons who work in Software industry. They say its a stressful job, you need to support 24*7, work should be primary and personal life should be secondary and so many talks.

They feel Teaching job is better. its because of 9-6 job.

The only statement which comes out of their mouth would be "IT is Crap". "Software Industry Sucks"

Here are the reasons why a person should choose IT as their career:
  • If you are interested in learning new things, then of course "Software Industry" is the right place"
  • If you just love working with computers then probably you'll be happy in the software industry because you'll be getting paid for doing what you love.
Health Care:
  • People say, If you are in the industry for more than 3 years, chances are high that you will fall sick. Back -Pain, head-ache, are the ultimate bonus .Actually, its not.Everywhere you have the problems, for a Teacher, Shouting at students too makes BP to Peak.For a doctor, handling patients also keeps him frustrated. Its in our hands how we take our profession and deal with

  • If you want your life-Style to be some what better its the right place.
  • Every Coin has both head and tail. Same fits here. you have some disadvantages in Software professional. Its does not mean its completely a blood-sucking job.
