First of all I am not great at time management. I took more than 8 months to do the two day networking course. I am able to achieve something in the technical arena due to my focus and experience spanning 11 years. I never learn anything when I have a need to. I learn pro actively and with focus. I am also a poor public speaker as I stammer. But I constantly fight against my weakness and try to come out of my shortcomings. I have given several technical talks now. So I am effective at public speaking despite my stammering problem(though how effective is debatable). I also fought my lack of knowledge in the technical domain by constant study, practice and application of knowledge and experience. Once you fall down many times, you never fear the possibility of falling down. ;) I think a complete lack of shyness in learning and improving myself helped in a big way. Now when it comes to time management, I don't watch movies, television, cricket or even read the newspaper. I spend all my time in programming,learning and physical activity. So that way I have a big advantage compared to others interested in cricket or movies or girls. I think time management will automatically come if you are passionate about something positive. If you are passionate about cricket you will not learn time management. It has to be something that will help you live a better life in the long run. Hope this helps. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
