Is it the Skill or the Will

 While we were kid and we use to go to school, in class we were segregated from the once who were exceptionally good. What made the “exceptionally good” that Good? Well, there is a Metrix that from a handful of students picked up randomly somehow the 75% come under the Average students of the class, where as some 10% in below Average and just some 8-10% in Above average and 5-6% who are extraordinarily good. Their grades are like endless spring, it is just a graph with no much variations, a higher end parallel lines thru the years. Their skill sets are massive and everyone adores them. So what these people have that we average people lacked? Was it the skill or the will? Well, with my own experience I learnt one can develop a skill, but to have a will to develop the skill is quite a question mark. Once we are determined, even the sky is not a limit then. However, the WILL, DETERMINATION, FOCUS and all other Big words don’t enter your life so easily, you need to have a pretty good mindset for attaining it. For some people it may take four to five weeks for others six to seven months, but once you have that mind set you are unstoppable, You enter into the loop of competence and confidence and hence forth everything is achievable.
Just remember it’s not the SKILL it’s just the WILL.

Is Machine replacing man?

While in 19th century computer came into existence , the purpose of computers was yet unknown. It was a machine used for computations, later it was a machine that not only did complex calculations but also stored data, and ever since then the field of computer science is booming. And now when we talk about the flourish of technology in 21st century we talking about Automation, Descriptive and predictive systems,  also image processing and many other fields of machine learning and on a whole Artificial intelligence. There was a time when a bunch of people sat in a room and did data entry and that was quite a rigorous task, but now it is done by machines , and yes it saves a lot of time and manual efforts, and somehow is also unerring. I recently did a project on automating a website, and it saved up to four hours of manual data entry per day. Well, isn’t that amazing? That night I sat and I was thinking soon I see a lot of computers around me  than people. Well, I believe that if we keep on going at this pace soon there will be machines building machines. There will be machine who will know things better and have knowledge far more than a man can possess. But what you think people like us will do then?
