Tough Times Never Last But Tough People Do

Lately, I have become week in handling my weaknessess such as loneliness, fear and future. I know that anytime soon if I won't do something I would break and giveup this life(My Jedi life). Though it will make me feel quite happy for a while but somehow I know as time passed by I would seek the way of the Jedi again and blame it to my self why I quit.

As I take a break and update the feeds of my rss bandit my first priority would always be the hot chicks section. These are collection of some women who are intelligent, beautiful, sexy and best of all great writers. Of course this are just my own personal standards hehehe.

Seriously, as I bloghop to their site I found one article that helps me strengthen my faith and passion. Her name is TeacherSol and my title right now came from her site. Click here

After reading her latest article here is the most striking words that she write:

What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they survive the tough times when others overcome them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink?

The answer is very simple. It's all in how they perceive their problems. They look at problems realistically and practically. They understand the principles that pertain to all problems.

When I review my past life, the reason why I am here far from my beloved home place davao is because I look at my future realistically and practically. These are the exact words that I thought of long before I said go and build my empire.

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i. An intelligent human ...

I have seen a lot of Internet Cafe but nothing comes close to this shop. Everything was simply high end from its ambiance, food and computers. It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

GWT+MySQL Best Practice

Image
Migrating from GWT-EXT to native GWT has never been an easy task as I expect it would. I took me some moths to really absorb the fundamentals of its Java code, structure and pattern. The price for taking this challenge was undoubtedly more gratifying especially on performance and size. I had lesser reboot due to memory leak and I had better handling on syntax especially on database due to its strict use of its object. Here are some improvements on my code: DatabaseServiceImpl.java String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; String db = "mydb"; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String user = "myuser"; String password = "mypassword"; public String connectDatabase() { String resultString; try{ Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db, user, password); //conn = DriverManager.getConnection...
