Don't read more

For the past few days I have been reading voraciously on some subjects of my interest so that it can improve my employability. Many of us read voraciously. It has a drawback. Firstly, you will never remember what you have read. Instead, reduce the number of reading material and read indepth. Indepth reading makes reading more real and more alert. Reduce and skip some reading materials as and when. Here you can prioritize your reading material. You can also jump from one topic to another over a period of time and repeat your reading. Repetition is good for remembering and it makes a lot more sense than reading the material once for awareness and placing it on the bottom of your shelf.

The magic mantra is "Read better" rather than "Read more".

Let us C

It is very important to all of us that we understand programming language. Main of them being C, Java. Why? You may ask. Answer is that the everyone is moving in this direction. If you are not good in programming you shall have to become obsolete.

Languages like C hold a high treasure value in it. I have recently started learning C language. I have a very good book, unfortunately it is needs quite higher level of understanding. Atleast for me. Language learning is a big hurdle or I would say obstacle in learning things that operate around us. C holds a high value in this regard. Learning C is difficult. It is not easy. If you go deeper and deeper one can understand the sophistication it requires.

C is after all one more language and then we use it to support other things that we do in our day to day office work. You will keep your boss happy and your colleagues helpful if you can understand this language and help them solve in their day to day activity. It is also good for you.

Keep learning something.
