                                     Personal Development plan
With the end of my 1st and 2nd semester, as whole a year of my study, I think I’ve grown a big pool of knowledge of computer. This semester I had different class tests, exams and assignments for every module. But all of them were not done well as predicted. My first semester was also simply ok. According to the marks allotted to me by the module leader for the module “Study Skills for Computing” I am very poor at it I was just only allotted 52% . Keeping aside this module I’ve aced other modules but still the “C” on one module keeps me from scholarship awarded from the college. So I have decided to dedicate more time on academic activates. Result for the first semester has been published but the result disappointed not only me, but also my parents.
On the basis of my 1st semester’s result, I have to work hard on module like “Personal Development for Computing” for the scholarship award. Therefore, regarding to my future plan I am going to improve my study status in all subject mainly in “personal development for computing”. This doesn’t mean that I will not pay attention towards other modules. I will be more couscous towards every details of the work .I am going to improve my writing skills by posting as many blogs as I can that will help me reduce my flaws and help me start with strong base for the future sessions. The blog writing is very effective tool for student which helps student in their whole study career. I will comply to this thing by paying more attention to the lecture in class room and doing more research in internet then using “Facebook”. For the other modules also I need to pay equal attention to achieve my goal to be enrolled in scholarship program, according to my tutors and lectures I have done excellent in other modules but still there are some places where I can improve on. I need more attention towards my course works. As a student of the Computing my future depends on how much I do from my side, so I’m planning to take extra classes on programming language like jQuery, PHP and Maya. I will be fully utilizing this four months’ vacation by joining classes for PHP, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, etc.. which will ultimately help me to design a good web page in upcoming semesters.  Since we have study “introduction to the internet” in upcoming semesters in advance form. Classes for all these web building tools will help me to achieve good grades which make my GPA strong. As a future plan I am going to attain industry visit held by our college in these holidays which might help me in different module for the development of effective programs. I will consult with my brother in USA for further programming action and activities. Over all talking this semester was full of up’s and down’s, but I feel great to be a part of it, and I’d like to thank my friends, and my lectures for believing in me and helping me to achieve my best. 

Fear VS Respect

     There’s been a thought residing in my mind recently, one that I’d like to share. I’m pondering upon the idea of respect, and how one rightfully earns it. Fear and respect , surprisingly ,are words often used in places of one another even though they represent different states of body or mind.


Fear is a feeling coming from a position of weakness. It comes either out of guilt or sheer helplessness. Fear is used as the tool to obtain respect in numerous places. The relativity is thah fear equals control, and nothing else. People who liv under fear may seem really polite and respectful, but the reality is that they are often not motivates by a genuine desire to be polite. It is often externally induced and manipulated . fear is just an obstacle to the free state of mind it terrifies yu of consequences and stops from an action. Most often fear is demanded by week from the week. Fear is the product  of ignorance. Fear only works when the threat behind it is still real. Once the threat is gone, so is the fear; which opens the floodgates of reprisal.

Respect, in my opinion, is the result of endearing yourself upon others through selflessness, dedication, and leading by example. The act of being there for others with no intent of reward earns respect.  Treating others in a manner that provides them nothing less than the highest level of dignity earns respect. True respect, once earned, is ability to get others to follow you, your request, and be there for you. Not because they fear you, but because they wish to do so on their own will. With respect, one can get others to move mountains simply by asking, one can love others without having to control and people will genuinely love you in return.

There are many people who believe they have respect, and there are many that would like to be respected. But the true question is, what will you do to earn it in true manner?
