Let's see what others have to say or not say :)<BR/><BR/>I am happy that you realize the value despite me offering it for free.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I forgot to mention in my blog that Jerry Weinberg said, "Give your best work for free" and I see this is my best work and I am happy about that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again and don't forget to complete those assignments!Pradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-67286718659922686962007-03-09T18:07:00.000+05:302007-03-09T18:07:00.000+05:30Info: All what I say here is only for my context. ...Info: <BR/>All what I say here is only for my context. If I write: this helped me, this means this was a way for my actual context – this does not mean it might help you in the same way, because you may be in a (completely) different situation.<BR/>So, read the following with <B>an open mind</B> please.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It is really true, the interactions with Pradeep made me enthusiastic and excited. Why?<BR/><BR/>At first we did not know each other, so the normal chit chat began. Then Pradeep observed how I test and analyzed this – I also observed him testing. In both cases I learned a lot and have involved this in my daily work. <BR/>He also showed me how to write much better bug reports and I use this in my work now. And I see a real difference.<BR/>I also bought a notepad, which I bound on a ribbon and wear it now around my neck always, so I can input all the observations I have (Of course people are asking now: “What is this notepad about?” I tell them: “To help me get better.” ) and reflect on these.<BR/>Recent encountering was this: I did not react good at one situation and in that situation I did not realize it that much - was excited and I noted it in my notebook - and this helped a great deal. Reason: it forced me to observe my actions and express my feelings and then: I went to the person and told that my behaviour was not professional and we talked about it and in the end we both were laughing again.<BR/><BR/>At the moment Pradeep is challenging me with this: I have to complete two assignments and only then I can contact Pradeep again – pretty much motivating <BR/><BR/><BR/>So, the small list above are things which I could implement fast.<BR/>But the main change which is <B>still ongoing</B>: I have realized again, there is so much to learn and do. I am rethinking more, I am concentrating much more on my personal skills development. I am reading much more again (in the last weeks started 4 books). I have made a picture of me lately with a happy face to show this Pradeep and others. My mood is better now and people around me recognize this. Reason is: I have realized that it is in my power to change things. <BR/><BR/><BR/>This all does not mean I am now the best tester or best person of the whole universe, but it makes me better than before with every day – <B>change does not come over night</B>.<BR/>So, you could perhaps say, well nothing new in what I tell. Perhaps all here was written already somewhere and I just needed to apply it. Maybe, but I know, that this all began when I met Pradeep. <B>He was the catalyzer</B>. He is taking care by asking, how things go. I observe from different things that he is really interested. He is a good listener. And I am very open with Pradeep, I tell him really what bothers me, because only then I can expect a valuable comment. I am understanding Pradeep much better now through the interactions – he is not a text writer without a face anymore. I get to know, why he does what he does.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Well, why don’t you <B>try his offer</B>? I would say you will gain. I already gained.<BR/><BR/>Dhanyavad,<BR/>Erkan YilmazErkan Yilmazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308636473679336189noreply@blogger.com
