People and their goals

Just a thought for the day on how different people perceive their goals. Understanding the way people make their progress towards goals determines whether they will achieve it or not. Based on type of focus they make people can be classified under two categories.

People focusing on ultimate goals

These are the people that focus much on their goals. They can be inspired by often reminding of their ultimate goals. They get satisfied by sheer percentage of progress they make. There will always be procrastination in achieving goals. So they can be kindled by setting a little bit higher benchmark than actual goal. Most of the society thinks all the people are of this kind.

People focusing on the stepping stones to ultimate goals

These type of people in the first place had chose their goals for the love of work they do on the way to goals. They sometimes even forget about their goals but they simply focus on everyday tasks, accomplishment of which gives them satisfaction. Sometimes they are even little bit frightened and doubtful at the big goals set in from of them, so they begin to feel their ultimate goal as unrealistic. This will evidently result in procrastination. So setting a higher benchmark than actual goal will only negatively influence them. They can be inspired by making them accomplish what they love, the smaller goals on the way to ultimate goals.They will gradually reach their goals subconsciously this way.

This my personal opinion for people who are working on their goals and the mentors who are helping them. If you find this interesting or contradicting please leave a comment, that way I will be satisfied that someone understood my idea.

How to use JCalendar date picker in your Java Swing Applications with NetBeans

If you are one of those JAVA beginners like me who wants to implement a datepicker module in your experimental/business critical application developed with NetBeans IDE , then this for you. Let me share how I figured out to do so in simple steps with a sample code. Assuming that you have your Java Swing application ready, you will need to download the JCalendar package from here http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/index.html . The page lists out various modules available with descriptions like JDateChooser, JCalendar, JYearChooser, JMonthChooser, JDayChooser, JSpinField and JLocaleChooser. The one I chose for my app was JDateChooser. After downloading and opening the ZIP file, you can see a whole set of files in it. The one we need is in the folder ‘lib’ with the name jcalendar-1.4.jar (this is the latest version while I was writing this). extract that file to your folder of comfort. The jar file you just extracted contains everything you need to implement the date picker in y...

Honda CB Twister India : A Quick Review

I came across a dozen reviews of Honda CB Twister on web and finally decided to buy it. I owned it on last March, 2012. It costed around ₹63,000 with disc brakes, alloy wheels, road tax and stuffs. The reason why I have included ‘India’ in title is because Twister is also available as Honda CB110 in other countries. Here is my short account on my experience with Twister. Mileage Mileage is a very essential part of my riding experience. I travel around 200 Kms every week, so fuel expenses shouldn't make me bankrupt. Twister’s 60 – 65 KmpL mileage is one of the factors that influenced my choice while buying. Anyway in advertisements its claimed to be 70KmpL. Engine Nowadays its a increasing trend to see Indians going for high end bikes, but in my case I am good with medium performance engines. Twister’s 110CC engine makes riding smooth up to 55Kmph speed, beyond that Honda Twister turns in to a Honda Vibrator. Considering the fact that I’m not an adrenalized rider, ...

How to open a PDF file using ICEpdf Viewer from your Java Application?

Few weeks back I designed an application, where I wanted to display Help content through a PDF file rather than through a textbox in a JPanel, because the help content had complex formula stuffs. So I thought of embedding the PDF file with my swing application itself. But it was too tricky to learn in a short span of time. So I figured out two options to display the help content. By opening the PDF file using a native PDF Reader in the system, on click of the Help Button in my Java Swing application. By opening the PDF file using a PDF reader integrated with my application jar package, on click of the Help Button in my Java Swing application. I dont want to discourage the readers, but to be frank the above two methods didnt work for one bad reason. You need the absolute path of the PDF file to be used in the source code. One solution would be to load a PDF file from a Web link. Another solution would be to use an installation wizard (See here ) for your Java application to plac...
