Love Programming: Are you a Programmer? Why did you select your career to be a programmer? If you choose being Programmer for any of the following reason, then you are going to go NOWHERE.
- Because I want to earn more money.
- Because I do not want to strain my body.
- Because I job and let it be little be some risk-less job.
- Because all my friends are into programming.
No matter what, if any of your reason for being programmer is one of the above, better shift yourself into a field that you love. From my personal experience until you love programming, you cannot be a good programmer unless you love programming. All the programmers whom I have done excellent job because they loved what they did. Develop interest in programming. Programming is a special field or the only field, where you can make your imagination come true. If you want to change the internal sound system of a new Samsung LED TV which your father brought, you will never be entertained to do so. You will be kicked out if you try to open your TV set. ( Here I had an exception, because I used to dismantle and reassemble all the electrical and electronics goods in my house.) But if you want to simulate a virus, then boot into Linux, create a virtual hard disk, and run the virus. When you are done, just remove the virtual partition. If you have really done a good job, you will get paid and also get your dream job. Yes, now I am in one the worlds best bank as a developer. And this was my dream come true. But I wanted to have exposure to wide technology knowledge. After coming here, its totally different. Even then I am happy that I am able to learn lot of things. And even today I am in the process of learning. I was just thinking of how much effort companies have done to make us work simple. Try to find out what all the major companies do. How hard they work for enabling technologies behind their product. Think on the kind of R&D they do. Jobs are always open for people who love their job as they can be the master in that particular domain. If Abdul Kalam, the man behind the Success of Pokran Nuclear Tests was thinking to earn money, then he could never become a great scientist. Sachin is one of the worlds best cricket player not because he wanted to earn money from ad campaigns, but he loved the sport.
Hope this has helped you to make you realize your dream. Will be back with my next post. Enjoy reading. :)
