I was really late for the interview yesterday. I was so late that they did not let me take the tests anymore and the head of the HR department suggested that I call them back next year.
It was my fault because I left 30mins too late. I realized that I should’ve allotted more time to [...]
Let’s say you and the guys cooked something and you want your dad to taste some of it so you can brag.
The problem for most people is that there’ll be not much left for dad after. That’s because guys tend to eat it all or until they’re very full, whichever comes first.
The best solution for [...]
There are some lessons in life that you learn the hard way. Sometimes it has to be that way and the best thing you can do is face it and admit your mistake and learn from that mistake.
Here’s what I’ve learned today:
If someone calls you to offer you a job even if you don’t want [...]
I’ve always been a fan of positive thinking. But as I grew older, I practice it less and less. This post by the blog Think Simple Now revived it in a way. Do yourself a favor and read it now. It’s one of the best articles that I read in a long while.
The 5 Myths [...]
It is important to choose the best book to learn–let’s say programming–from.
Gauge your level and try to find reviewers of your same level or situation and read their reviews. This saves you from frustration and waste of time.
If you feel that you’re not progressing as you should or you’re not satisfied, dump your book and [...]
Here’s a realization.
Guess who said the quote:
Much is lost from indecisions rather than from bad decisions.
First, think of the best possible yet attainable solution for your problem.
Execute the solution.
It’s better rather than doing:
Chose a solution. Most people will choose the most convenient one requiring the least amount of effort. They are unsure of the solution [...]
A question I asked myself when I was still working was, "I’m working harder. Would they pay me more?"
Let me put some metrics in my question. Let’s say, if I work twice as much, would they pay me twice of my current salary?

I’ve read somewhere that simplicity is overrated. I disagree with that. It’s like saying time isn’t important because I think time is directly connected with simplicity.
Time is gold, as you’ve heard it a million times. We all think it’s important. We spend it wisely, try to save some of it, try to get more out [...]
It came to me. One of the reasons why it’s a little hard for me to learn to program is because I’m learning from e-books. Not that it’s not possible learning from e-books, it’s just inconvenient learning from them. My eyes hurt after reading for ours on the screen and so is my head.
There’s just [...]
Again, I’ve fallen to the trap known as DoTA and Ragnarok Online. Dang. When will I ever learn. I keep bitching about how hard learning Python is and here I am with not much of an effort to learn. I always say to myself that I’ll cut playing games out the next day but it’s [...]
What’s this about?
This is another personal blog which means topics range from anything that I can think of or want to write.
I mostly write about my struggles about learning how to program and finding a job. Also when I feel like it I write long posts about my rants and ramblings about my life. All in one big paragraph. Don't say I didn't warn you.
About the kansas state thing, it's actually a misheard lyric from a certain song I like. Try to guess what song. :)
Happy reading!Write To Enteng
