IT is more than software projects
Information technology is not just development in particular language as it also touches fields like problem solving, cognitive behavior development, mind alertness, memorizing techniques, people management, financial management etc. We have many courses for IT which teaches basics of programming and develop skills in particular language, its security, Computer infrastructure etc but during the course we don’t encourage courses like aptitude or problem solving techniques rather we focus on project works or high percentages or high GPAs and even in industries we don’t regularly keep the skills up-to-date due to focus on various client projects! It’s been observed that some people have mindset that aptitude is something that can’t be acquired externally as its instinct behaviors of person but it’s absolutely wrong mindset. Mind evolution happens every day and it’s all about how much one practice to train the mind to develop or ability to acquire new skills. All you need to do is practice over and over!.
There are various things we can do to increase or enhance learning new skills capacity or aptitude which will definitely help us to be more effective in our IT jobs:
- Mediation is one prime way to increase the mind’s capacity which increases focus, alertness, logical thinking etc
- Play games like solving puzzles 25 minutes every day
- Try to take safe supplements or vegetables and fruits daily consisting of omega 3 fatty acid and foods high in HDL
- Try to play social games like word building or scrabbles with friend
- Play high graphics visual games like call of duty etc
- Do cardiovascular exercises
- Practice logical, technical and mathematical skills tests
