My first patch to FOSSASIA under GCI

I'm excited after my patch for FOSSASIA got merged. I loved working on github. I learnt git on my own and setting up the environment. I worked hard to get a context on how to use github and git.

The first task which i claimed is about adding a small patch to the gci website with my details which gets displayed later. I cloned the repo and I have added my information to a yaml file and image. I submitted the patch to the main code using git from command prompt. It was very difficult for me to constantly update the existing patch. I learnt and watched videos on youtube on updating the commit and reposting the same one. I took the comments on my code patch and learnt on how the website would work on taking the data. It was amazing. I starred the repo. Constantly tweeted on twitter about my progress. I got nice feedback from mentors @Princu7 @SaptakS and few others. I joined the slack channel and got to learn to how manage to join the channels and sending invite. I learnt how to host github pages which was amazing. The experience was brilliant and yes i have shared this experience with other friends of mine.

Brainy-you

   



From past few years , I have been watching many people in my life  and found a keen difference in their intellectual thinking and other things related to brain . Actually yes , I saw a wide range of people. But still worrying why there is such a difference in their intellectual abilities . Moreover , I started taking up a certain analysis on such people who differ drastically in their mind functionality.

 I have seen few of my seniors and was extremely wondered. One of them was an all-rounder. She was not only  a good basketball player but also a highly intellectual scholar. Still !! I am worrying how she could do these  things all at once. Yes! another guy who was a well renowned basketball player but couldn't pickup much in his studies.

I started my analysis right from this point. Actually saying you the truth , a normal person has got complete abilities to achieve these all things. The only thing he should do is not to get satisfied for a small achievement. Instead strive hard for further achievements thinking that you are  completely nothing in the society.

I have also got a very interesting point, you may or may not trust me but ' experience and circumstances' actually help you to achieve goals provided what experience and circumstances   your are having . That's it !! you can change your life. I like to share a simple example , if the person is surrounded by thieves and however he is, still if  he is a naive person then he would surely become a thief .

Finally I say it again sacrifice (to gain something later), good experience ( to show that you need to achieve more) and yes you also need confidence as a fuel to your success

Happy successful life
