Maintain good health for the mind & your body
Have you ever tried learning something when you’re sick? Or when you’re hungry, angry, or distracted? Chances are, you’ll learn and retain very little, if any. Maintaining a good state of mind and a healthy body is also very important. We can only do so much without these. This piece of advise, is also something…

We live so that we can help our brothers & sisters
What is purpose for you? What is your reason for studying, or for simply being alive? If you’re also studying stuff in I.T. (Information Technology) what do you believe is the purpose of implementing I.T.? In a broad way, personally I do believe that our loving and merciful God put us human beings here on…

My friends, seek God and you’ll find true rest
How do you define rest? My friends, rest isn’t just about deciding to stay put, sit down, relaxing, and doing nothing. It could be one form, or one level of rest. But, there are other forms of rest that we humans need to reach, at some point. And neglecting the “rest requirements” of our bodies,…

How to improve your focus at one task
Have you ever found yourself shuffling across different tasks? Multi-tasking. Trying to pick up one task after another, while also glancing here and there at different post-it notes, or other electronic screens — like a secondary or a third monitor, and an active tablet with notifications alerting you, or a smartphone ringing? Sounds like chaos.…

How to speed up & improve your learning
Do you often find yourself just relying on books? With very little to nothing in terms of hands-on practice? No laboratories, exercises, or activities to get your mind going around the knowledge you’ve just picked up (or trying to pick up)? Do you also find that this doesn’t really help you at a practical sense…

Humility & our humanity will open doors where our skills & talent won’t
What does it mean to grow our humility? What does it mean to be, and to remain humble in this modern age of technology? My friends, for me, I also agree that humility isn’t about thinking of yourself less than other people. It is about thinking of yourself less often. It is about not thinking…

My friends, cramming doesn’t work. Instead, focus on studying a little, do it consistently.
Have you ever crammed across an all-nighter, for an exam the next day? How did it go? Were you able to retain, or recall as much of what you reviewed when the exam happened? There is a very good chance, that most of what we studied from the night before, especially if it was volumes…

Why empathy is something non-negotiable in all collaborative friendships
Do you see yourself, or can you feel putting yourself in the shoes of other people? So much so, that it helps drive you to action — to help others? My friends, empathy is mostly defined as putting yourself in the “shoes”, or in the place of others. And empathy is a very important part,…

It’s the Christian Holy Week. My friends, let’s take time to pray & reflect.
My friends, the Holy Week isn’t about just going to vacation. Or having a good time away from the workplace. It’s about God’s great love for us, so much — that He gave up His only begotten Son. And that His Son, our Lord Jesus, the Christ — was obedient to God the Father, to…

A simple, but effective guide on how to prioritize tasks you need done
How do you know when to do something? How do you know that a task is important, or urgent? How do your know what to do right now? How do you prioritize your tasks needed for work, or study? My friends, chances are you’ve also got plenty of stuff to do. Or things to learn…

Time management, doing some form of study plan, and why it’s important for you & me
My friends, what do you do to help encourage you to work, meet deadlines, and keep your motivation up throughout the day? How do you stay focused? Do you tend to just “wing” it, as things happen? Doing stuff, when it’s needed. And maybe have other stuff to do later on, as other things also…

Give the glory to God. Offer all your plans to the Lord, our God.
My friends, what do you do when you succeed at something you set about doing, or achieving? Likewise, what do you do when you encounter set-backs, or failures in your journey? Have learnt from my folks, my parents, from other older relatives, and from the church. Particularly, also from holy Catholic priests, from the religious…

Small, but consistent progress is our way forward
How do you set off doing something? How do you go about with an intention of achieving something worth the while? Do you take it slow, and do things as other things happen along the way? Or would you rather have it through rigorous, intense work, but spanning only for relatively a short period of…

Why we must not neglect our faith & spirituality. Talk to God more often. Pray from your heart.
Prayer. And spirituality, at least for me. What is prayer for you? How do you communicate with other people, and with your loved-ones while we are on this plane, called our planet Earth. Why should we pray? And when we do. Why we ought to pray from our hearts. And why we need to pray…

Read good books to expand your mind’s horizons.
Books. Good books. And we also can’t discount, now-a-days, helpful blogs from, in my case, I.T. experts in their given field. The website: https://www.medium.com for one is a good place to find expert blogs and articles around technical topics. Such as data science, web analytics, data engineering, development-operations (or, “devops”), programming in general as a…

Where on the internet does a website live?
Any website, or page in a website, regardless if it’s a small blog that you found from searching for something online. Or if it’s a website from a large organization, like Facebook, Twitter, or Google. Live on a place in the internet called a web-server or simply called a server. Anything found online lives on…
