The Rose (Edited)

One day a person was going in a meeting with a suit on him and he suddenly saw a beautiful rose  on his way. He thought of putting the Rose on his pocket. So he came near the rose and saw small thorns on it, he gave up the idea of putting it in his pocket.

His other Colleague passed near the rose. he was wise, so he plugged it and started removing the thorns from the rose but suddenly one thorn got into his skin. Again he gave up the idea and threw the rose away.

After a few minutes, another man passed and saw the rose. He picked it up and started removing thorns. Again one thorn got into his skin but he didn't give up and finally removed all thorns then he put the rose in his pocket but realized that he has problems with the stem and if he removes the stem the rose will be of no use. finally, he also gave up and threw it away.

After a while another man passed by that rose. He picked it up carefully, removed all other small thorns and when he put that into his pocket similarly he felt a little uncomfortable from the stem of it, but he also knew that he wanted the rose to be there on his pocket so he ignored the pain. And he left the rose there in his pocket. He knew that he loves the flower more than he hates the pain its causing. When he reached the meeting hall all people were looking at him in including those three men.



Edit: 

I was not quite satisfied by the language I had used in this story quite some years ago. And I also wasn't sure if I agree with the "Lessons" of the story. I have edited the story to my best ability and have left the "lesson" of the story up to the reader.

The Art of Synchronisation

Merhaba takipçim. Çok memnun oldum ki şimdi bizim küçük soğuk Savaş bitti. Ve memnunum ki şimdi sana konuşabilirim. Iyi ki varsın 🤍. Bu blog Türkçede yazmak isterdim. Ama bu blog biraz teknik. Yani İngilizce kullanmak zorundayım. Üzgünüm 🙁.  One of the biggest and most complicated challenges in computer science as well as science in general is the challenge of synchronisation. Weather its to synchronise data or to synchronise two events. To some extent, synchronising data is simpler, but synchronising two events is impossible.  Two physical events happening in real life can never be synchronised. Its mathematically impossible. Why? Well its mathematically impossible for two values in the real world to be identical. For example let's take two stones which are exactly same weight, shape, size and material and drop them exactly from the same height. They will appear to be dropping at the same time but they are in fact not dropping at the same time.  To prove this...

Facts and Opinions

In mathematics and sciences we geneally devide statements into two categories. facts and opinions. and a general concencus is that Facts are the statements which are always true, can be mathematically proven and are accepted as true, universally.  One example of a fact is 1+1=2. Everyone agrees on this fact that adding one with another one will be two. This is such a simple example and a universal truth that people use it in sayings and converstations as example. What If I told you that this is still not a “Fact” ? In fact (no pun intended), In a book named “Principia Mathematic” two mathematicians proved that 1+1=2 and it took them 3 years, 350 Pages and it is one of the most complicated proofs out there. Still to prove this, they used a few “assumptions” which are considered universally accaptable facts, like if two values are 1 and 1, they are equal to each other, which are called “Axioms”. these are essentially opinions which are accepted by everyone.  Long story Short, Th...

All language is but a poor translation

 Recently I came across this Quote by Franz Kafka.  “All Language is but a poor translation”.  Or as I like to say it, “A language is nothing but a poor translation of feelings”. And the more I think about it, It makes more sense.  On first thought, this idea seems conflicting. We made the languages, and every culture in the world should have perfected this skill to be able to express themselves completely, right? Well, Not really.  I am fortunate enough to know more than one language and I can see this gap between languages where no one is really perfect to be able to express ourselves completely.  Even with my native language, Urdu. There have been times when I have felt a certain way towards someone or towards myself and did not know how I could have expressed that. And I am sure you must have felt this way too. There are some things that just can not be expressed in the most perfect way that we would like to express them. No matter which language we use...
