Coding for Life

We learn programming language to write software program(s). Here is an attempt to connect some of the basic rules of coding to important aspects of life and hence the title has been chosen as 'Coding for Life'.

We write a program with a specific objective/desired outcome in mind. Isn't it important to be clear about our objective in whatever we do? Wouldn't it be a powerful habit to develop?

Typical next step is to define the key variables. I would relate it to identifying key people & priorities in life.

Initializing the variables is important and it is done basis the variable type. Every time program is run, it would initialize (reset) these variables. I would relate this to knowing where to position whom and what. It is also about understanding individual's strengths and weaknesses. Initializing these variables every time the program is run can be related to looking at key people in our lives with 'fresh eyes' every time. Stop looking at key players from the filter that is created only from past experiences.

Loop - the intent of using a loop is to keep moving until set condition is met. I would relate it to our focus & 'Never Give Up' attitude to achieve our set condition/goals.

Infinite loop - could occur when we keep doing stuff without lack of clarity on intended objective. This is where a coach/mentor could help show the mirror and provide direction.

Error handling - intent is to decide on the appropriate action(s) basis error encountered. In life, its all about self-awareness & choices. We might call certain things erroneous (especially if it does not align with our expectation). However, we can choose to respond in a particular way and hence within our control.

Call to another module - to me this signifies law of karma. What we get (result) depends on what we give (data passed via the variable). What you GIVE determines what you GET :)

Anybody starting with a program or debugging, would usually insert Print statements to assess the point of error. Similarly, we need to get feedback at constant intervals and work on continous improvement.

Comments to capture changes to the program - I would look at it as key aspects to capture and express gratitude (journals).

Compile - Seeking feedback from near/dear ones, critics, key players in ones life and take necessary action(s) to do course correction.

Run - Action - Action- Action

You are the programmer of your life. Code appropriately.?
