Every action has an equal and opposite reaction!

Hi,

Today I have this story running in my mind that I wanted to share with all of you.

There was once a poor farmer. All that he had was a little piece of land and a buffalo. He used to make his living by cultivating that small piece of land. He used to struggle day and night to sow the seeds, water them regularly, pull out the weeds, and struggle a lot to make the crop grow successfully. Until he reaped the crop, he used to live on a piece of bread that he would receive from a baker in return to one pound of butter that the farmer used to sell to the baker. This continued for quite sometime when the baker wasn't sure that he was indeed receiving exactly 1 pound of butter from the farmer. So he weighed the butter he took from the farmer. He noticed that the butter weighed 20% less than 1 pound. The baker was then very angry about this and he took the farmer to a court. In the court the judge questioned the farmer about the cheating he has done to the baker. To this the farmer replied : "Sir! I am a very poor farmer who can hardly earn a piece of bread in a day. I don't have any weighing scale to measure the quantity exactly."
Then the judge questioned the farmer as to how he used to weigh the butter, to which the farmer replied "sir, all that I do daily is measure the pound of butter against the piece of bread that I get from the baker."

So who was at fault? What is the moral of this story? 

Well, in many cases life gives us back what we give to it. The universal law of "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" holds true in most of the cases. Of course nothing in the world can be generalized and everything has exceptions but the basic rule is if you put in 30% of effort, you would receive a 30% result only, honestly and without any manipulations. In order to receive honestly from others, we need to be honest first.



Someone once said I want a wife like Sita and a servant like Hanuman, to which a wise man replied, "yes you can. If you can be like Ram". 

I hope the message is loud and clear. That's it for today :) 

Have a great time.

Hi, Lets get going further in to the basics of computers. For those of you who are new to this blog, I recommend you to go through part - 1 of the basics before going ahead with this post. Here is the link to part-1: https://techspireme.blogspot.in/2018/04/basics-of-computers.html We have already read from part 1 that Software is a set of applications. Software is basically of two types: 1. System software: software required to start up the system i.e the Operating System software (by booting - a process named Boot Strap Loader loads the operating system from the Hard disk drive to the working memory RAM) 2. Application software: Software designed for a specific purpose that is a collection of programs. Application software always runs on the top of system software. Examples of Application software are: word processors like notepad, wordpad A suite of applications like MS Office Media players (VLC etc) and many more. System software is the base on which applicat...

Everything about computers

Hi, I am quite excited to start the technical part of my blog! I hope so are you! Let's start with the Abc of computers that we all find a bit hard to put in to words. These are my own definitions made really simple and easy to understand! Computer:   An electronic device that computes, stores, processes , manipulates and displays the data. Coined from the term "compute", means to calculate. Facts:  First ever computer was used for mathematical calculations. Founder: Charles Babbage - The Father of computers - invented the first ever mechanical computer called "Babbage's Analytical Engine"! Features of a Computer / Advantages of computer over a calculator: Speed, Accuracy, Storage, Multi tasking, Diligence (and many more). A computer comprises of Software and Hardware (all the physical - internal or external components/peripherals that are connected to or a part of computer ex. Keyboard, Mouse, Cabinet, Joystick, USB - pen drive etc. that we c...

Generations of Computers

Hey there, It has been really long time since I made a technical post which is my forte. So here I am with my simplified and easy to understand post. Generations of Computers: In technical context generation may be referred to as the varied drastic growth in technology day to day. Computers have changed in various ways (in terms of its size, power and abilities) since their inception. The evolution of the electronic computers over time is categorized in to five generations with differences in terms of size, computing power and the technology used. First Generation:  Early 1940's to late 1950's - Vacuum Tubes Image Source: By Unknown - U.S. Army Photo, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=55124 The first generation computers were built using vacuum tubes (CPU) and magnetic drums (storage) and used machine language programming . Vacuum tubes are glass tubes without gas, with an electrode capable of controlling electron flo...
