A Tale of Computer Engineering.

For 4 years, I learnt everything about water. It's properties, the techniques to swim, history of all the swimmers. Oh I touched the water all right! 

I know how to check the temperature, know all the gears and the cool sign language to communicate inside water. Of course we practiced it on land not inside water. That would be too dangerous.

I had the most knowledge about water among my peers. I knew it's exact chemical properties and how it behaves in various conditions. Just everything a best swimmer should know of.

My training was complete after 4 years.

The next day, they took me to the ocean. And said,

"Jump".

"What? Like now? But I have never swum before so deep. In fact I have only swum in a controlled environment.", I said

They threw me into the ocean.

 

I gasped.

I cried.

"I don't know shit about swimming but!! Help me", I shouted. I cried out loud.

Other Swimmers were laughing around me.
 

"Welcome to the real world", they said.

"You don't know what swimming is like, even after so many years of so called learning.

"I'll tell you one little secret, kid. You learn swimming by being inside water. You learn swimming, by swimming. There is no other way. There is no easy way. You swim and you learn. You learn by swimming."

And slowly slowly I unlearned what I had already learned.

Lesson for life : You learn by doing.

Wax on, Wax off. 
Wax off, Wax on. 

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: First, wash all car. Then wax. Wax on... 

Daniel LaRusso: Hey, why do I have to...? 

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Ah ah! Remember deal! No questions! 

Daniel LaRusso: Yeah, but... 

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Hai! [makes circular gestures with each hand] Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out of mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important. [walks away, still making circular motions with hands] Wax on... wax off. Wax on... wax off.
