Most of you reading this blog might assume that this is a technical blog, well it’s not a technical blog but a small attempt to relate this technical principle(input -> processing -> output) of programming to real life. People often tend to start a new thing, they continue it for some time, and when they don’t see quick results, they stop. Then one starts believing that massive success requires massive action.
Small improvements are often not noticeable but they can help you in the long run. When you get a little better each day, it all adds up and gives you remarkable results in the end. Conversely, if you waste your time thinking that making such tiny improvements won’t yield any results then you would not see yourself getting even 1% better because all your time was wasted in underestimating the power of tiny improvements.
In programming terms, when input is given, it gets processed and then you receive the output. So how can we relate this principle to our life? The answer is simple when you give in to a certain thing, this input of yours gets processed and it gives you results i.e the output. But the only difference here between applying this principle to programming and real life is that in real life your input won’t get processed as fast as it gets in programming. Remember that the most powerful outcomes of any process are delayed. So one needs to be patient and should not stop giving inputs just because the processing part is taking time. People often consider setting goals as their priority but they should focus on improving the processes that are going to lead to the results. When you look at the problem with a view that you need to get results you just try to fix it temporarily, this results in no improvement but when you try to figure out each aspect that can cause the problem and try to improve the processes that can lead to getting better results then that adds value to your life.
You just need to take up a thing, keep doing it consistently, making tiny improvements each day and it will always help you in the long run.
