Typically the first attempt when doing something in the Comp Sci. world is to write the ubiquitous "Hello World" program to gain a comfort in a new technology/language. So here is my "Hello World"...
People often say that "I would do this" or "I would do that" and they get all excited but then that enthusiasm and fire is quickly extinguished by the closely following "except that" or "but that" statements. Why are we so resigned to futility? What happened to the raw passion, to the insatiable hunger, and the spartan-like defiance of our own fears? We seem to wake from our sleep every now and then when there is breaking news in the media about someone who took the path less traveled and challenged the cynicism of the world. The Mark Zuckerbergs, the Bill Gates, the Warren Buffets, the Michael Jordans - those guys must have been born that way. Surely, those guys must have something we don't. And its true they do - they have the ability to ignore the the obstacles, shrug off the "Debbie Downers". In the face of opposition they fought the good fight and through perseverance and hard work reached their dreams. I believe in each of us, we possess an incredible power that we don't wield with great mite we are intended to, but rather clutch and hold it close to our bodies for fear it gains too much momentum and becomes "impractical"
Everyone's dream is different and cant simply be categorized in a neat category of romance, financial, family,etc... I'm simply stating that within us, we can alter the world if we so chose to do it. We can paint our own portrait the way we see it. The beauty of life is that every day is a new opportunity to change things around us and pursue the things that burns in our hearts and minds. This superpower isn't just reserved to the blessed or genetically inclined, the MENSA member, or Nobel Laureate, its innate to all of us and is desperately waiting to be let out...
Oh yeah
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
Oh yeah!!
