Real Problem

They say identifying a real problem is half the work done. But we rather fail to indentify the problem in half of the cases. Once Einstein was asked, what would you do if you happen to know that in the next one hour the earth is going to blast? Einstein then replied, I would spend fifty five minutes for identifying the reason for that, and five minutes would be more than enough to solve the problem. This clearly shows the importance of identification of problems in our life. What we fail in life is to identify our problem, and rather overlap these problem to consequences, as a result we never solve the problems rather we ignore them. You are late! A boss says to his staff! And the staff happens to think that being late is his problem, but why is he late? No one cares!... So my problem was not that I never clean the gas, rather it was I didn't know how to clean the gas. As soon as my real problem was identified, it was half solved. Now, one can feel how important it is to identify the problem to solve it.

Exam Schedule

Alarm strikes at 2.15! I snooze the alarm, for 15 minutes, again it rings. I say, if I wake this early, maybe I would not be able to be fresh enough after 10. So, I again snooze it.
Again I do it. Finally, I wake up at 3, and start studying like anything. I prepare a cup of tea for four, but all are for me myself. Now, I continuously study, and continue. By 8, my four cups of tea would be over, and I continue... When it is 9.30, I take my lunch that I had made yesterday evening, and do a slight revision over everything. I then move towards my friend's room, and by 11.30 both of us, we reach the examination center. After exam, we discuss of exam issues till 3.30, and then I along with my friends; we walk to some place. We eat Momo at a road stall, and share the worries of next day's exam! We have the books for next day's exam, and thus we open it and make a slight discussion over it. It would already be 5, and then we start moving towards our room. 5.30 is when I reach back! --dwaipon.blogspot.com
