In Pursuit of Wisdom

As people are rushing towards crypto currencies now-a-days and specially to buy Bitcoin, they often find it difficult to figure out which web site to use to buy. Sometimes they give up with frustration looking at too many steps involved to get in.  I myself have faced it once earlier but finally got over the hurdles, thanks to the easy interface of Coinbase. So let's see what do you need to do if you buy Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin online. Step 1: Use your computer's browser to login to Coinbase at https://www.coinbase.com Step 2: Signup for an account with your email address. Use your smart phone to verify your registration code during the process. Step 3: You will need to provide your Driver license's front side and reverse side as well as your face image via your computer's web camera to verify your identity documents. The process may take several minutes. Step 4: Add your bank account or credit card or paypal account to your newly created coinbase acco...

Sadiaa, my sister-in-law, went to our balcony to water the plants a little earlier. Low and behold she saw this beautiful deer in front of her. I was in a piano recital for Ahyan, so I regretfully missed it. In the early morning when I was coming back from MCA after Fajr prayer, I saw some wild jerkings on those trees but couldn't see anything as its quite dense. It must have been there since then. But its gone now, at least for the day!

Here are 9 great insights for achieving top performance from the experts in our program. 1. View busyness as a lack of focus. There’s a satisfying rush we experience when there’s too much on our plate: we feel needed, challenged, even productive. And yet that pleasurable experience is an illusion. It robs us of our focus, and prevents us from making progress on the work that matters most. 2. Own your time. Our most satisfying work comes about when we’re playing offense, working on projects that we ourselves initiate. Many of us know this intuitively, yet we continue to spend the vast majority of our days playing defense, responding to other people’s requests. 3. Avoid the “Victim Trap.” When things aren’t going your way, it’s easy to point fingers or feel sorry for yourself. However, the more we embrace negativity, the more that negativity spreads.

Another year went by - 2016. Let's visit the highlights that happened around me. Highs Suhaila got admitted to public school. She got the sibling privilege as Ahyan is already a student there at Parkmont Elemetary School. Adobe Systems acquired TubeMogul at the end of the year. So I am now an Adobe employee. Started understanding Quran with meaning as well Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadiths. I am expecting it to be a 5 to 10 years journey to finish even for once if Allah wills. My parents-in-law came to visit us and we all went to attend Sadiaa's convocation at Tufts University, Boston, MA. Watched the best Bangladeshi movie in recent times Aynabaji . Amitabh Reza Choudhury's visit to us was a great bonus. Participated in Millionaire Chess 3 in New Journey, probably the last edition of MC for foreseeable future. It was great to meet Amy Lee with my family during her trip to bay area. Sadiaa got a job in San Francisco and she moved to our place. The kids are so fond of her...
