I might not be the right person to talk about success, but I have written this article as an observer of successful people, and as a person trying the understand the common traits they display (along with trying to understand if those traits really will help anyone succeed). Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about the well-known traits like work hard, be sincere, never quit etc. Because, Sreram Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122227957959211869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3485164888944886464.post-53513128307128713342018-03-23T08:21:00.000-07:002018-03-23T08:21:19.221-07:00Forward designing vs backward designing
Forward designing vs backward designing
A task that involves intense planning and meticulous observation at each stage, can always be approached in two ways. You could either work backwards from your desired result and construct the solution, or you could work forwards by breaking down the problem and intuitively determining what requirements you will have to meet, and creating them before Sreram Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122227957959211869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3485164888944886464.post-35254320829468259822017-06-03T08:07:00.000-07:002018-05-21T16:04:07.559-07:00Nature of logical statements and postulates.
