Back to Basics - total reboot

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" - Bruce Lee


BASICS thats a six letter word that one may have heard almost a dozen times. Let me tell you one thing, those 6 letter are the one that will define anything and everything. Learning the BASICS is the foundation of mastering any art, fighting style, trade, craft skill that man has developed under the sun. No matter which path you choose in life you can't master that path with out  basics. As I am progressing more and more with my life it came to my attention that my BASICS are screwed. 


Why I came to this decision? Well example the programming languages. I have been learning different programing languages for the last eight years, during which I have learned C, C++, PHP, Python, Ruby, VB, SQL and software development frame works like QT, GTK+, Django, Drupal, Code Ignited, etc. I have completed several projects on them for college and as hobby projects. But to be truthful I would never say that I am even an intermediate level user in them. I even sometimes find myself googling few of the basic syntax of a language.


So is the case with various things in my life lack the basics like my communication, spelling, writings, etc. The reason being my own mistake of not concentrating on my BASICS but going after bigger stuff. One of the good quote that I like that defines an engineer is One who know something of everything, and everything of something ( don't know who's words this is), in my case i know something of everything and everything about nothing. So I am going to follow another great quote from start wars " You must first unlearn what you have learned ".  


Gona reboot my head this summer holidays, got a general idea. First is to join the public library, then start reading books, relearn on the basics of computers and programming keeping with 2 languages for now ( C and PHP), meet up with old friends from school, do maybe a certification course, join the gym, go for a morning jog in the park - well these might seems as your daily routine and simple, but for a person who haven't done any of these things in ones life its going to be hell. Hopefully I am going to stick with my plan to get serious in life and get through this summer holidays which I would like to put up as My LIFE CHANGING BOOT CAMP.


 I am hoping to make this reboot the only on I would ever need in my life and well we will see if this post is going to be just a reason from me to stay up all night, or am I going to do something with my life. 


So Stay tuned.
