Don’t Just Learn, Do!

Image
We all have come to be victims of this especially at the beginning of our learning curves where we just observe and watch rather than take action. There could be many reasons to this. One common reason though is people are scared or fear that they are not ready. Remove this delusion from your mind and take action. By implementing actions, you are more prone to developing the skills much faster. Yes, observing and learning is obviously key to grasping the concept but don’t waste too much time on this as well as practice what you have learnt to develop and take in the information visually and through experience. Another crucial reason why people don’t take action instantly is because they hesitate and feel they don’t understand it enough to be able to put it into practice. What people fail to comprehend at this point is at that if they put what they are learning into practice, then they would eventually gather an understanding much quicker and be able to move on and ...

How is programming used in our everyday lives!

Image
As we develop throughout our lifespan, we form meaningful relationships with other people. People often differ in their opinion and this gives rise to conflict. As a result of this, we need to develop strategies to resolve problems effectively and efficiently. Programming also uses this basic concept of problem-solving. A programmer is an individual who solves problems using various techniques and approaches in order to come to a solution and meet specific goals. In order to conduct a good program, you need to ensure that you understand the problem at hand and that you have an appropriate plan of action to deal with that particular problem. Similarly, we need to develop a clear understanding and course of action when we are dealing with problems that we face in our everyday lives in order to ensure that a viable solution can be reached. Every problem has different solutions and one cannot use the same course of action for every problem that they encounter. This applie...

Overload! My Brain Can’t Take It!

Image
The brain is by far the most complicated organ but it is also the most fascinating and intriguing. Research suggests that it is imperative for the brain to be able to select specific information at a time for processing, a concept commonly known as attention. What happens when the brain is overwhelmed as a result of psychosocial difficulties? Similar to that of a computer system, the brain is only capable of doing so much at a time and if it is overwhelmed then it will be unable to function optimally. Taking that into consideration, most people still overwork themselves until they come to a point where they feel as if their heads are going to explode. The trick is to notice the symptoms of burnout and deal with them before the entire system crashes. People often reach the state of burnout if they overwork themselves with no rest but if they give their bodies and minds the rest that it requires they will not have this feeling of exhaustion, this is why we shut down o...
