Linus on kernel management style "Everybody thinks managers make decisions, and that decision-making isimportant. The bigger and more painful the decision, the bigger themanager must be to make it. That's very deep and obvious, but it's notactually true. The name of the game is to _avoid_ having to make a decision." How true is that or what :)

Tough times dont last ..tough people do...!! Few years back, when I was in college and had lost a year since I had failed in some subjects, it was tough time for me. I had made a lot of mistakes and I knew that. Many things seemed insurmountable at that time, and also I think it differentiated people who would be my inner circle and who would not. A lot of support came from few whom I had not expected. Above all, my parents stood by me unquestionably and provided me the chances. I 'cocooned' myself and added 'value' to my knowledge which helped me see through the coming years in good confidence. Crisis visits us every now and then ...just to make us stronger. People who believe in you when your down, they want you to get up and walk again..they are your strength, and today when I look back from here, I feel good for what happened then. That made my life better in many aspects.
