Even though Muhammad Ali says ‘everyone has a plan, until they get hit in the face’, you still need to have a plan. Especially so since life will hit you in the face, many times. And you might want to change your plan(s) every time you get hit, which has nothing wrong at all, as…
A friend suggested that I join a professional course, which seems like a very good one, but requires a substantial amount of payment. Even if it didn’t cost anything, there’s still the time needed to be invested. So any way you see it, there’s always a cost to learn anything. I know I wrote previously…
Someone once asked me what do I, and everyone in the whole world wants. I answered then, happiness. Everyone wants to be happy. I still think the same now, but my definition of happiness is different. In fact I think everyone’s definition of happiness SHOULD be different. If you’re re-using someone else’s definition, most likely…
There’s always the dread of doing something (new) or picking up something that you have been leaving on the floor for a while. This is necessarily more so when you that task has no quick direct consequence but has a considerable long impact; you are more to kid yourself that the long impact wouldn’t suffer…

Being a cheapskate, I would then continue looking for…
In systems Engineering thinking, and more specifically in railway signalling I guess, the term system definition means defining what your product (or system) is going to do. It sets up the case so that when later the product is going through safety case analysis, it is clear what is covered by the design and what…
Recently I went on a training, where some of the trainees and trainer asked how is it feels working with the company I am working with. I said it was okay, as the environment is relaxed and I got to learn a lot. Later they went to say and lavish compliments on the company, saying…
I attended a training recently where it involves a lot of drawings (technical ones) and logics. The trainer was very good as he explained most concepts and misunderstandings with examples and drawings. After answering rows of difficult questions he said, “Good questions. When I closed my eyes while you guys were asking, not because I…
People can learn a lot from Youtube. I learnt a lot, and I used it normally when I have trouble understanding complex engineering concepts, especially after reading about them on Wikipedia. There are certain things that can need a video or at least more visual representation, in order to understand. I guess in the days…
