Mistakes that I made while setting up my Goals

Mistakes that I made while setting up my Goals



Summary:
1. Set up simple and easy to achieve goals, that are easy to track like "I will spend 15 mins reading good blogs every day/weekdays(mon-fri)/weekends(sat-sun) for 1/2/3 weeks".

2. Do not setup broad range goals right away unless you understand that it will take pretty long time to accomplish it.

3. Do not setup goals to impress others or self (unless you are really excited about it)

Details:
  • The Goals were very broad range. So, that made the goals very hard to achieve it. 
      My Insight: If you are at a bottom level of the skills you want to acquire, 
      you probably will have no idea or vague ideas about how to improve it. 
      You will have to rely on your current level of thinking and google searches to 
      figure out what is needed.
  • Some of the Goals were based on a final result or outcome. These outcomes were hard to achieve. (Yeah, I understand this is not a mistake for every kinds of Goals)
       My Insight: I did not understood that some of the goals could take a long time 
       to accomplish. So i got discouraged early seeing not much progress. 
       Some of the Goals should have been split in smaller goals, for some of them 
       the expected  outcome was out of my control, as it was depended on others.
  • Some of the Goals were setup to impress others or myself. These Goals did not spark any motivation within me, so i did not found any drive to accomplish it.
       My Insight: Do not trouble yourself by setting these kinds of Goals.
  • I did not setup simple and easy or extremely small Goals that would have been easy to do.
       My Experience: I will tell you later, once i actually do it... :)
Update: I actually tried it and it seems to work perfect for me. I have now extended the duration of the already achieved goals so as to stretch myself.


  • I did not change my goals once i hit a roadblock. I made up those goals so i could have easily changed it, dropped it and made it simpler but i did not assuming it as a taboo. I don't need to be scared of myself.

       My Experience: Persistence is the key to succeeding at your goals.


  1. Cool Quote: Accept that you have to do daily chores or mundane task and you should not try avoiding it. Your only choice is to either enjoy doing it or dread about it.

Please do practice locally:
Angular 2 in 60 mintues

Html PlayGround For Kids

Idea Background:
Allow kids to build Html Pages
Kids can UI elements
Kids can edit UI elements
Kids can add behavior to the UI elements
Kids can share it to the world with an URL
It should have drag and drop feature for them.
Kids can post these HTML pages on there websites.

Analysis:
Start with an local HTML app

Left side:
It should have UI elements. Start with Heading, Paragraph, Line Break, Button

Middle Top Side:
Button to Render HTML

Middle Side Rest:
It should have a default drag container

Right Side:
It should display the Html as rendered by  the browser

Angular Notes


Services
  • You can use services to organize and share code across your app.
  • You can also register services via the $provide service inside of a module's config function
This technique is often used in unit tests to mock out a service's dependencies. How? I don't know.

Scope

  • Nested scopes are either "child scopes" or "isolate scopes". A "child scope" (prototypically) inherits properties from its parent scope. An "isolate scope" does not.
  • The scope is the single source-of-truth for all things view related.
  • Each AngularJS application has exactly one root scope, but may have any number of child scopes.
  • The location where the root scope is attached to the DOM is defined by the location of ng-app directive. The other way around is true as well.
  • You can check the scope of any element using the dubugger, although it is only available when the setting $compileProvider.debugInfoEnabled() is true (which is the default). Also it should be OFF in production release.
