Dead-lines!

Meeting deadlines seems to be getting tougher & tougher day by day... be it academics or anything else... Now I desperately need to get rid of this habit cuz I know if not now I'll be suffering... sooner or later that’s a different question! After being at NED, I seem to be enjoying doing things at the eleventh hour! It has become more relevant to me than following the plans or even planning accordingly. And this strategy for academics has had an effect on other things in life too. No wonder my dad has been angry with me lately for being lazy.

I was going thru some web article about how deadlines can affect the software quality. Some developers commented that deadlines do apply good enough pressure to affect the software quality. Nevertheless, everyone did agree there needs to be a tradeoff. Everything needs a realistic deadline. I wish I could say the same for my own life especially things related to academics & career! And I have none to blame but my own stupid self. This summer, I had interned at GlaxoSmithKline & one of our managers, Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, was always there for some good motivational sessions. That guy once told me that the major problem lies in the fact that we never take the ownership of our mistakes. Now whenever I try to do that, be it even a small mistake that has worked for me. It’s always good to realize one’s mistakes. I’m keeping the hope alive that I’ll get over with this really bad habit of not being prepared in advance or for that matter, not being early. But then again, I think if deadlines are always met, it would be a perfect world. But really things can not be always perfect! :)
