What fails and Why it fails

What is Learning in understanding/delivering solutions

• Solving the real issue, Looking beyond one-liners
• Spending time on data, people, process to know ideal vs actuals
• Connecting with business to know their unspoken needs
• Be ready to share your though and accept mistakes to learn

What are mistakes in implementation / Experience vs. Expertise

• My way is the only way, Highly opinionated
• Flexibility between tech vs. business views
• Solve to root cause vs. namesake
• One-stop solution for everything vs. fixing what matters most

Microsoft / Wipro / Nestle / Amazon / Tyco has taught me more patience/product mindset vs. solving problems that matter!!!!

The guilt in me

I have been always running for work. I hardly remember when I took a week last time. I feel guilty for not being a good son. Last week dengue made me feel so weak and lost. I was left with nothing except pain and guilt, I have not taken care of my mom in all these years.

There is life outside work, We need to take care of people around us. I don't know how I can get over this guilt. Every time I struggled in Life the person whom I looked up to for support and guidance was just my mom. 

At least going forward I have to take care of people around me.
