Life logs.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

I failed in some subjects in exam, but my friend passed it all. Now he is an engineer at Microsoft, and I am the owner of Microsoft

The great minds in the world always have a different attitude towards life; the best take away from their lives that I have taken is they lead a life only for themselves and few others whom they consider very worry about. Other than that they don't worry much about others which is good because unless you are focused and stay away from too much distractions it’s hard to reach your goal.

Wanted to talk about record keeping or popularly called in the US as log maintenance.

Log keeping first came into practice since the ancient times and in modern times shipping industry of the 18^th century was very famous for log keeping. The trading that used to happen on daily basis of goods and essential commodities between various places was entered in the shipping docks by log keepers which was a huge profession, in fact the great Indian genius Srinivas Ramanujan was himself a log keeper.

The Howard university released a paper few years ago highlighting how log-keeping has helped in the field of history all over the world, the primary observation is from the statistical aspect, there is a field called as quantitative research, which is headed by group of researchers called as statistical analysts, also called as regression scientists , who compare historical data and project graphs on the future .for example gathering the latest fuel consumption of a region and predicting how many more years the oil well will be alive.

There are various fields where record keeping is very much important, which is also a source of evidence even for generations to come.

At a personal level I urge all of you to start writing journals so that we can keep a log of our own lives which will help you to  improve as a person, know what mistakes we are doing  and stop repeating them, I am writing journals from the time I was a school going boy.

In one word I can say my journals are like windows in my life where you peep in and see what's happening in your present life and what happened some time ago in your own life. It is the best personality developer and a great friend.

Writing   journals looks easy but after a busy day the determination required to complete your journal before you sleep is challenging!

Let us start writing journals and accelerate the culture of log keeping.

Thanks for your time.
