Use it OR Lose it : Inevitable truth about practicing

One of my best friends sent a mail to me and to one of my other best friends a few days ago.

He was telling a little thing about his knowledge of C programming.

Basically he said that he had written C code very well years ago, he could understand it without examining it however right now, he had been examining one of C code and he had been death about it, he could not have written it without a pen.

When I saw the mail at the first time, one of common proverb came up to my mind which is very very correct, not only about programming but also everything you can image.

Use it or Lose it.

I think it is american proverb but not sure.

Whenever you practice on anything,  it is like relearning process. If you did not practice regularly, you would kill your that particle skills.

Lets think them about it. From driving to swimming, speaking a foreign language to programming, reading to writing. Endless possibility we have for.

Same proverb goes to your body functionality too.. If you did not use your brain for example, you would lose its real potential. Or muscle power we have.

The question is what do we have we can improve our skill without doing any practice on it? Can you image anything about it?

The work/labor cannot go to waste.

The work/labor cannot go to waste. Long time ago I developed a simple database access code generator while I was studying computer engineering. After four years later I began to use it. It was just a hobby at first but it saved me so much time. Basically it just created/generated entity of selected table and some codes related to selected table. You have a project which needs to be done lots of work on data, that generator is life-saver. It is really frustrating to write almost same code logic again and again for different table. I really understand one more times that your work cannot go to waste.

Going to work evey weekdays

What kind of system do we have right now? It is like a slave system which is chosen by free humankind. Once upon time, we really were free humankind. We were planting, raising all our food ourself as well as  the amount of our needs. We were living together, sharing our stuff even if it is our work. We were cooperating together to get the life easier. But then, For the greedy souls of our, we decided to make change in our life. It is a change little by little at every decade.

And all you can image is based on the money you have. And new generations are competing ea...
