Its sometimes better to take the easy way out

So, I now gotta believe in the fact, "Its a fresh new day each day.". Yesterday, I was terribly disappointed with the way things ended up. And I ended the day with nothing but resentment. But as my friend has in her email signature

"Life can be learnt backwards,
But it must be lived forward" - Kierkegard

How true!!!

Today, when I called up my boss to know about the issue, I soon learnt that she didnt even bothered about taking a look at the issue. She was busy looking at some other thing. But then, backed by all her years of experience, she was guiding me to do that and this, experiment and let her know of the result. We both tried (even today... but this time, the approach was totally different) several times and atlast, boy oh boy, she finished the issue with a simple question. "Why do you have to try n conserve too much when you have loads of stuff for the taking?"

I ll tell you what. that one question striked me very hard and with that i managed to finish the issue. Actually, I was optimizing the game to work in the weaker phones with restricted memory and other restrictions. But the particular phone, which was creating problems for me yesterday (my god, pls forgive me if I had blamed it badly yesterday. I am really sorry ;) ), had loads of memory, with which I dont have to do any optimizations. I just rolled back my code to its prev state without any optimizations and you should have seen my face light up like a 1000 watts bulb. I was very happy, a sense of relief suddenly filled me up and I am back to normalcy.
My boss summed it up with this sentence
"Its sometimes better to take the easy way out"

Yesterday, I said i have to wait to know whether that was a silly mistake or a valuable lesson to be learnt. Today, it has now proven to be a valuable lesson, a lesson, worth to be learnt in ones life. It is sometimes better to take the easy way out. sometimes, we find our mind very much preoccupied so that, we will just stay ignorant to think of the easier solutions. If we had just taken the time to think out of the box, we would have found that there wasnt any problem really existing...

So, Always, try to think out of the box... stay calm n think clearly. You may arrive at a solution, if one exists or atleast, you will realise that there is no problem for which you need to find a solution...
