Character and Reputation
Yesterday, I came across an article from TOI, reputation vs character. I like a few lines:
In spite of doing your best, people may still speak ill of you. You have to accept that you can not stop people from creating their own perceptions nor can you stop anyone from talking negatively about you.
Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like an oak. It takes a long time to develop a great character but with commitment and efforts you can achieve anything.
Some useful articles on this:
"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."
Abraham Lincoln
If you have some nice links, lets have them in comments.
MOTODEV Summit, 15th May, Bangalore
Motorola has addressed a large community of developers from this event and best thing was that it was free. What it could have provided is a DVD of all sessions as I was able to attend only 6 in that one day event. Event was really nice, although at the beginning it seems to be Marketing. Motorola has some nice IDE's for development and that too are free. Some terms I came to know about in this summit:
- MOTOMAGX
- UIQ
- Windows Mobile Development
- and J2ME Optimizing apps
There were very basic "Hello World" workshop sessions on them. I am waiting for WebUI to be released and gets my hands dirty on that. Its complete JavaScript and interacting with hardware using JavaScript. Its probably going to be a beta release this summer.
For the time being, I will get my hands on MOTODEV STUDIO. [Follow the link to download MOTODEV Studio].
