Introduction
I've been noting down my goals and accomplishments regularly ever since I bought an iPad. I remember to be carrying out this practice so diligently during my school days but later somehow lost this habit. I'm not advertising the iPad in this post but I must admit that iPad has definitely simplified my life. The work culture of the organization where I am working currently has taught me to be more focused and goal oriented.
In my opinion , to get a sense of direction in life , one must reflect on his journey regularly and be grateful for the accomplishments en route to his goal.

Hashnode has been a blessing to many ,especially to people from non-CS or IT background . I've learned a lot from so many bloggers here and am learning a lot. At the end, I'm enjoying this phase of learning by writing.
