Pattern troubles

Not every code is written right. Sometimes it turns out good if you are experienced. First timers learn and refine.

Patterns
Courtesy: walkadog

When you get better, you find patterns. You see them happening again and again, and you make a pattern out of it. Your new pattern is extremely awesome, it is capable of even encapsulating the whole world. Then it gets simple, not. You have to map your old house inside the world, and there isn’t one house. Everything can be corrected, but it takes time and patience which I lack.

If only I could regex everyone back to where they belong to or rather design better patterns.

PS: I thought I forgot my password for my blog. After a few attempts, I got it right

Thanks for no plastic

Whenever I say “No need for plastic bag” or “No need for straw” they shopkeepers say “Thanks!”. I likes.

Spoil your kids, please

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself;
They come through you but not from you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For, they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls lie in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit,
Not even in your dreams!

If you reached here after reading the quote, I appreciate your patience :)

I read the above lines in Hindu’s Open page. For a moment, it stuck like a lightning. Kahlil Gibran has given straight forward opinion for the parents and students who are victims of the current educational system (Including me).

Taare Zameen Par expressed how parents attribute everything with success. Things are forced upon them or rather they are made to think that what their parents think is the best choice, forcing the kid do what the parent failed to do as a kid, forcing them to walk exactly on their footpath and a lot more.

Being first in rat race may be appreciated by other rats, but what matters is how the person relates the success .

Being able to do is different from wanting to do. Do what you want to do, and show middle finger for the rest.
