During my one of the guitar lesson on last weekends, I noticed something interesting. When you are new to guitar, it seems very difficult to control your fingers and putting them on the right position, lifting them at the right time. It is like a beginner to drive a scooter. You confused when to life a gear when to release clutch. You find it very difficult to synchronize the process.
The production of sound is a matter of timing and combination. The different combinations create different sound and different sound can create different songs, ragas etc. I started playing soft songs first with two-four lines of each, Then little more and more…
By stroke of a single string, even the sound can be produced. The single string can do a lot also. The limitation that a single string has, restricts to produce all flavors of music. It is the combination which makes the things possible. The better combination and the better results.
This is an universal matter. It applies in any matter whether it is food, cricket team, nature or it is mankind. The proper combination of trees(Food), water, air, light, temperature makes a place in living condition. To live, we also need to have proper combinations in the environment. This includes temperature, oxygen, food, water etc….
A single man can do allot, but can not do the most. To do the most, we requires a team and teamwork. The biggest projects are the effort of the team with different skills worked for the same goal. Narmada dam project, Underwater train between France and UK, The great China wall, Road on Mount Everest by China, Building of Petronas towers are the real classic examples. Same for the software development. The proper combination of skills and experience requires in each team. Analysis, Programming, Project Management, Documentation, Testing, Quality assurance skills are required. This is not the end of process, now the marketing is required for the finished product. The customer relationship management is required to maintained. The proper help and support is necessary to be given. The enhancement and configuration may be required, if customer needs. It is the cycle which never ends. For all this, different types skills are required . And nobody can have all of the above skills. So I have decided not to run for all of the above skills. At the time you may be the best in any of the skills.
Conclusion:
“Just do the best, to be the best, in whatever you do.” Which work I am doing, should not be the matter. The matter should be how the work I am doing. The best the I can produce and the bet my team can get it from me. After all it is the combination matters what if this is done by X or Y.
