ATTENTION
Both Died in the same year
and same month
But Steve was considered as a hero
and Dennis was ignored by the world.
Only a handful of Programmers
who really know the value of
Dennis even know his death
Without Steve there is no iPhone,
iPad, Mac, and Apple Computers. But
is that a big deal? l mean I am in
computer science field and I have'nt
used an apple product in my life and
l’m Good enough.
But think!!!!!
Linus Torvalds.
Linux
Diverse Ideas!
“Most good programmers do
programming not because
they expect to get paid or get
adulation by the public, but
because it is fun to program”
Linus Torvalds
“UNIX is simple.
It just takes a genius to
understand its simplicity.”
Dennis Ritchie (Creator of Steve
Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates)
Without Dennis there is no C. lf there is No
C,then there is no C++ that means No Unix,
Windows, Linux, No Crysis warhead and other
cool games, No Photoshop, No Firefox, No VLC,
No FL Studio, No playstation, No XBOX and the
list continues. 90% of the applications in the world
are written in C and C++

Future Back Approach
Future back.
Escape the limitations of existing
markets by designing the future then
working backwards to today.
The future is much better place to
start and working backward enables
you to make much better decisions
about where to go, what to invest in
and how to innovate.
The future back is less about
imagining years ahead,
more about thinking bigger,
what is possible or apparently
impossible and thinking how
to do it.
Failure is a Learning Experience
Evolution is effective because,
rather than engaging in an
exhaustive, time-consuming
search for the highest peak – a
peak that may not even be there
tomorrow – it produces
ongoing, ‘works for now’
solutions to a complex and everchanging set of problems.
Suck to Nonsuck Fast
Fail fast & fix problems
instead of trying to be perfect
Always Ask Why?
Careful Thinking
A Big Idea Starts with the First Small Step
Adaptation
Never Quit
“Always make a total effort, even
when the odds are against you.”
Arnold Palmer
“Everything is
practice.” Pele
“The harder you work, the
luckier you get.” Gary Player
“Resolve never to quit, never
to give up, no matter what the
situation.” Jack Nikolaus
“I was turned down by 217 of the 242 investors I
initially talked to. You have to have a tremendous
belief in what you're doing and just persevere.”
Howard Schultz
Never Quit: Next∞
"Rejection might sting, but my feeling is that often, it has very little to
do with you. When you're auditioning or pitching, the director or
producer or investor may have someone different in mind, that's just
how it is. That happened recently when I was auditioning for the role
of Martin Luther King in Selma! Which was too bad because I
could've played the hell out of that part — I felt it was written for me!
But the director had something different in mind, and she was right. It
seems the director is always right.“
"Always do your best. "You're not responsible for the entire job, but
your part in it. ... You will put your everything into everything you
do.“
May 22, 2015
“Rejection — it isn't personal. The actor suggested a mantra for the new
grads: "Next!" a phrase to be shouted when "you didn't get that part" or
"you didn't get that waiter's job at the White Oak Tavern. ... There will be
times when your best isn't good enough. There can be many reasons for this,
but as long as you give your best, it's okay. Did you get straight A's in
school? If you did, good for you, congratulations. But in the real world,
you'll never get straight A's again."
Learning
“If I am walking with two other men, each of them
will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good
points of the one and imitate them, and the bad
points of the other correct them in myself.”
Confucius: Chinese
philosopher & reformer
(551 BC - 479 BC)
I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.
You Decide Your Learning
Send a letter indicating what you expect to learn &
what grade you will give to yourself at the end of the course.
Before the end of the course, you will send me a letter again indicating whether you have
achieved your goal or not, and whether you deserve the grade you initially gave you.
Riddle: A Room with Three Light Bulbs
Three Switches Outside the Room
Only one chance to open the door.
Which switch controls which light bulb?
How did Newton deduce the Law of
Universal Gravitation from an apple
falling from a tree?
Invisible Threads in the Drug Delivery Field
Someone did a very nice thing to a stranger.
The stranger asked, “How can I pay it back?”
The person said, “Pay it forward”.
We are a part of one great community.
We are all responsible for one another.
We become angels when we realize we are responsible for
one another. We begin to turn outwards. We are blessed to be
so. I was lucky to be chosen to help others.
"Look around, look around.
How lucky we are to be alive right now."
Jeffrey Seller, producer of "Hamilton," quoted the show's lyrics
when accepting the 2016 Tony Award for best new musical.
