Love teasing bugs!!

I hope all of us have a good Diwali and I hope all the good things for all. I just can't stay without my laptop as I need it all the time to see what all is happening around me. I'll be discussing one of the most important aspect in real and professional life today.

What do you think of networking?
Importance of Network.

We'll use twitter, Orkut, Facebook etc.....all these networking sites helps you get to close with your friends. My question though: Do you believe you network on whatever site it may be helps you in real and professional life. We use all these for fun or just to be in touch with friends.

For me networking is an important aspect in everyones life as it gives you what all think, what they think, what make them think so etc. In my professional life (testing) this is an important aspect if one wants to keep updated with the latest things happening around them. With my network I can ask their point of view on things  which needs constructive discussion and for that I need to have large coverage. My network is not just for fun but it add additional value to it of sharing the knowledge. To keep myself updated I always have so many questions to ask these gurus who can advice or give their opinion. Ultimately its me who is going to decide what is good or bad, but its good to have the opinions of others to make the final decision.

It is an important aspect in everyones life to understand what others think, what they think, what approach they take while thinking, and what makes them so successful. I'm in a phase where I'm just working on my network to grow but I must admit that it has helped me a lot! Even I've big plans - one of them would be to meet-and-greet other testers from other cities and have a casual get together with all these people. I'm just working on how to implement it? This one needs lots of planning, resources etc so I've keep the thing on hold for a while.

I've been observed the trend that if you're active on various platforms, forums, networking sites and make use of them, it helps a lot. Think of a scenario where you can interact with hundreds or thousands of people virtually and get their views. This helps in your real life as well as your professional life. If you follow all the gurus - one thing is common that they're always active and always sharing the immense knowledge they have. To grab this opportunity you just need to follow them and get their views - free of cost with no more time!

For me networking is an important aspect to be always touch with others and enjoy the knowledge sharing process.

Bottom line: The networking is invaluable. What say?

I read blogs and find some interesting stuff about testing. The question comes to my mind what is that thing which keeps them going on and on. Ah!! Here we go. It will vary as per the person but there are some patterns which I've observed.

Some patterns like:
(a) curiosity
(b) zeal
(c) excitement
(d) innovation
(e) creative ideas
(f) always find out other way to do the same thing
(g) motivating yourself that you're doing wonderful job!
etc....

The list can vary for others as per their priority as I tried to cover the hot ones. People can argue here as to what all things has to with their work. My friend....it will not only gives you new ideas or brainstorming ideas but also you'll find that you've raised the bar in your productivity. It always matter what attitude we keep the work we're doing. If some task comes to your desk and you say it is just one of those which you hate then definitely it will make you feel worse! But what if we try to find the different ways for the routine and add some flavor to it ....wouldn't it be good then?

All gurus of testing always on hunt for innovative ideas on how to do the same work day in day out. It serves two purposes it gives them a good brainstorming and at the same time the joy of doing the task in hand. These people will never complain about the work they're doing. Wouldn't it be great to join them?

I am just in the phase where I'm trying to innovate some ways to complete the task in hand with a big smile on my face. :)
