The Acoustics

I was introduced to this concept long back when I was in class 9. There was a presenter on stage who showed us the following image:
Skills are something that people around you can see and judge you with. Attitude is invisible. It is only when people take a dive deep into you, do they realize how worthful you actually are. It took me more than 10 years to realize the importance of this.Let me begin with a story. Three interns - 1 boy and 2 girls were hired for my team and I was their mentor. In their first few weeks, they were required to go through their technical training. The first course was Frontend - something that is tricky but still software engineers find it unworthy and an insult to their skills. They were required to work on it for the next 2 weeks and submit their assignments to me for review. One of the girls was extremely enthusiastic. She submitted the assignment within 3 days. I reviewed it, provided feedback, and asked to improve the code (optimization and readability …

Hey There! Welcome! India celebrates Teachers' Day on 5th September. Who has been your favourite teacher this year? For me, it has been Coronavirus and probably for many of you too.
