Singura regula perfecta este cea a IUBIRII neconditionate.

Singura regula perfecta este cea a IUBIRII neconditionate.

Singura regula perfecta este cea a IUBIRII neconditionate.

Orice abatere de la aceasta regula constituie distrugerile viitoare.

Ce ar fi să ne oprim din goana aceasta continuă după recunoaștere, după aprecire și după o sete de iubire continuă? Să luăm o pauză și să analizăm lucrurile la rece. Ne aflăm într-un punct de cotitură unde viața este din ce în ce mai haotică și ești într-o continuă incertitudine.

Astăzi vreau să vorbim despre iubire, despre iubirea unde singura regulă perfectă este cea a iubirii necondiționate. Știi că iubirea poate îmbrăca multe forme de aceea orice abatere de la regula de mai sus constituie implicit distrugerea alegerilor pe care le vei efectua în viitor.

Cheia pentru a avea o viață mai puțin haotică decât cea prezentă este să apeși butonul stop și să privești imaginea de ansamblu.

Haideți să luăm exemplu meu pentru că m-am gândit de multe ori cum aș putea pune acest lucru pe foaie, am scris, am tot scris, am șters și în sfârșit m-am decis că nu mai este cale de întors, că nu trebuie să mai găsesc scuze și să iau decizia pe care o consider corectă pentru mine, nu influențată de părerea unor oameni din exterior. Și când fac referire la oameni din exterior vă dați seama că este vorba de persoane apropiate, familie, prieteni însă veți înțelege mai multe în rândurile care urmează.

Ți s-a întâmplat vreodată să întâlnești o persoană și să ai acea senzație de parcă vă știți de o viață? Să nu știi nimic despre ea și totuși să simți că știi totul? Ai avut în care îți faceai tot felul de scenarii despre cum o să fie momentul când o să vă revedeți? Ai simțit acea iubire necondiționată si puternică vreodată? Dacă raspunsul este da, atunci o să înțelegi despre ceea ce o sa discutăm în cele ce urmează.

Psihologic putem explica dragostea în câteva fraze, putem discuta despre funcția executivă a creierului sau ce se întâmplă în interiorul nostru atunci când ne îndrăgostim însă astăzi avem o cu totul altă abordare a acestui subiect.

Viața ne oferă tot timpul căi nebănuite și surprize la tot pasul, nu încetează niciodată să ne surprindă cum, de altfel a fost și în cazul meu.

Prietenii uneori te înteleg, sunt sfăturitorii tai, sau nu! Dar ce te faci atunci când începi să vezi acel prieten ca pe o persoană fără de care nu îți imaginezi existența? Dragoastea este a doi oameni care aparțin unul altuia însă ce se întmplă când ambii aparțin altor persoane?


Aici vom putea distinge două tipologii de oamenii: cei care spun că în dragoste totul este permis și că rațiunea nu își mai are locul când este vorba de iubire și oamenii care vor condamna cele două persoane pentru că au avut tupeul de a-și manifesta iubirea față de o cu totul altă persoană  decât cea lângă care stă în prezent.

Greu de explicat în cuvinte și mai ales în sentimente. Nu pledez, nu afirm și nici nu țin cu vreo parte. Însă ce te faci când tot corpul tău o ia razna? Când mintea ta nu dorește decât să fie persoana pentru care tu poți oferi o imensă dragoste necondiționată.

Cum reacționezi când te afli într-o relație în care totul este OK, nu ai nimic de reproșat însă viața te-a pus la diverse încercări prin care ați trecut împreună, nu te-ai vedea nici fără această persoană însă te afli la granița dintre rațional și emoțional. La granița dintre a decide dacă ești într-o iubire condiționată (ceea ce ai în prezent) sau îți dorești iubirea necondiționată (care este una interzisă)?

Omul potrivit la momentul potrivit? O luptă psihologică greu de explicat și pe care TU trebuie să o câștigi pentru a decide ce este mai bun pentru tine ca persoană, petru viitorul tău și pentru prezent. Alegerile prezente influențează viitorul cum știm clar că orice acțiune are o consecință.

Unele decizii par a nu depinde de noi. Însă cu siguranță trebuie să ne asumăm responsabilitatea propriilor alegeri.

Iubirea necondiționată o gust acum, este pasională și nu-ți oferă varianta luării unei decizii coerente și corecte. Te face să vrei mai mult și se dă o luptă interioară din care nu ai nicio rezolvare sau victorie. Te complaci în această situație pentru ceva timp, ți se pare destul de palpitant însă știi că ceea ce faci nu este bine, nici pentru tine și nici pentru persoana de sex opus deoarece nu dorești să-i oferi niște speranțe deșarte iar șa final să-ți dai seama că de fapt nu îți doreai acest lucru sau a fost decat un moment trecător.

Un prieten te cunoaște cu bune și rele și va fi tot timpul lângă tine, însă în momentul când prietenia se transformă în iubire necondiționată pentru un prieten trebuie să ai griă să nu cazi în extreme. Niciodata un prieten nu ma poate fi privit la fel, pentru că amândoi știți și simțiți lucrul acesta. Tot timpul vor exista momente în care o să vă doriți mai mult însă nu o să fie cazul. Să trăiești o iubire necondiționată pentru un priete este frumos, palpitant, nou! Cu alte cuvinte nu există sfat în astfel de situații mai ales în cazul în care ești legat de o iubire condiționată.

Iubirea condiționată poate fi și ea schimbată însă dacă ai ghinionul să ai lângă tine o astfel de persoană înseamnă că trăiești după reguli ce stau la baza acestei iubiri. Iar dacă tu te complaci în această situație trebuie să analizezi în care dintre situații ești mai fericit și mai împlinit?

În situația în care te voi iubi doar dacă faci ceea ce spun eu , dacă ești de acord cu ceea ce fac, dacă ma susții în ceea ce fac sau în situația în care îi oferi partenerului libertatea dorită de a alegea ce vrea să facă cu viața lui și să fie un om împlinit?

În cazul meu am trait iubirea necondiționată pentru un prieten! De ce spun am trăit? Pentru că am gustat-o, i-am simțit aroma, palpitațiile, textele, atingerile pentru o perioadă de timp și după aceea am luat decizia că viața m-a facut să trec prin ceea ce am trecut până astăzi pentru a învăța din greșelile mele.

Am pus pauză, am analizat situația și mi-am dat seama că nu m-aș ierta dacă mi-aș pierde prietenul, iar termenul de prieten este folosit în contextul de prietenă adevarată. Am luat decizia că nu se merită să risc oricât de multă iubire necondiționată i-aș purta, am trecut toate deciziile luate printr-un filtru și mi-am dat seama că putem fi împreună cu statutul de prieteni. Și da, iubirea dintr-un barbat și o femeie poate exista pentru totdeauna, ea nu se stinge, este o iubire necondiționată ce se transformă într-o prietenie necondiționată. Genul de prietenie care oricât de mare ar fi deranjul și oricât de greu ar fi tot găsește o soluție de a rezolva lucrurile atunci când îi soliciți ajutorul.

Eu de fapt m-am înselat în urma analizei crezând că sunt într-o iubire condiționată doarece după un anumit timp într-o căsnicie intervine monotonia, vrei ceva nou și aștepți ceva nou bineînțeles de la altcineva, fară să încerci să creezi tu nouatatea.

Sfatul meu practic, pe care puteți să-l luați în considerare sau nu este să gândiți rațional și să priviți situația din trei perspective: emoțional, instictiv-sexual și intelectual. Încearcă să găsești răspunsul cu care dintre cele trei situații rezonezi mai mult și atunci îți vei da seama cu adevărat ceea ce îți dorești.

Twin Flame – The concept/definition!

Twin Flame – The concept/definition!


Twin flames, although a very controversial concept, has been in the core of discussions in recent times.

Questions are being asked, researches are being made as to what twin flames are really all about.

Well, the answer we seek is not far-fetched.

Twin flames are one big soul which in a bid to gather different experiences, incarnate separately.

These separate incarnates reunite once they have gained enough consciousness (when they are mature enough).

However, this reunion is not always as easy as it sounds.

It does not get cozy from the very start.

The beginning suffers a little setback or inhibition which could be as a result of painful past experiences. Individual incarnate is “careful” so as not to get caught up in the cycles of previous sufferings.

Next we ask, how do twin flames meet? Meeting your twin flame can be likened to meeting your exact replica.

As perfect as the mirror replicates the image of a man, so does it feel when your twin flame stands right in front of you. Little wonder the unexplainable force of attraction, the bond seems so strong beyond comprehension. The reason for this is none other but the fact that the two souls are now fully conscious of each other’s existence. This, as one would expect, changes their lives forever. Because of the connection being divine, past experiences at this point, begin to resurface. Despite having suppressed them, they just seem to keep popping out. Hence, difficulty in the twins attaining a meaningful relationship at that moment.

The relationship does not stand until the twins are able to learn and heal old wounds, a process initiated by the separation of the twin flames. It is also of utmost importance to dwell on the twin flames process. This could be explained by the YinYang principle of uniting male and female power. The twin flames at their first meeting tend to have one of them live in the male power and the other, the female power.

There is then what is the called the “chaser” and the “runner”. The chaser being the one near perfection as regards dealing with the female principle in terms of softness, passiveness and emotions; and the runner being the one driven only by male principles (in terms of activeness, taking action, and mind usage). The male principle not being solidly developed, makes dealing with love and emotion seem impossible. In other words, the runner runs from his feelings.

The dynamic at this point then begins with escape from the “mind’, who after meeting his other twin, loses more and more control of his feelings. This appears strange and poses a great threat to him, and thus, his inevitable rejection of his twin flame. He rejects and builds resistance to anything that tends to put him out of control and make him vulnerable, which he often times assume to be his twin.

The heart is left frustrated at the sight of this tussle between the twins.

Often times then not, the heart actually acknowledges the fact that her twin flame loves them and then feels the need to take action.

The action to take is often times almost impossible – letting go. She feels the need to develop her male aspects and in the long run, she finds self-love and self-esteem. The heart is now fully aware of the things she wants and does not want in life. The twins being inseparably connected assures the “mind” he would not lose his twin. Also, at the early stages of the process, the mind taps its energy from the heart. Every of the heart’s attempt to focus on finding self-love lessens the energy available to the mind. The process of the heart fighting against his feelings continues until the mind is fully drained of all its energy. All is back to normal when the heart finally wins over his mind. He then realizes the hard way that his most loved part had been pushed away by his actions. Then he starts making efforts to win back his beloved.

At the end, the defense mechanism each incarnate has built is broken and the ego lost because the connection is divine and pure.

They finally realize it is all about self-love; after-all, they are one. With that, comes the fulfillment of the twins flame process.

18 Signs You’re Experiencing What’s Known As A `Twin Flame`

18 Signs You’re Experiencing What’s Known As A `Twin Flame`

There tends to be a lot of confusion about what a “twin flame” relationship really is. Unlike “soul mates,” which are our perfect matches (or our spiritual family) twin flames are our perfect mirrors. Relationships with twin flames tend to be on-again-off-again, intensely passionate, and sometimes intensely painful. Twin flames help us awaken like nobody else, and they ultimately serve to show us who we really are. Here, a few of the main signs that you’ve run into one:

















17. For as different as you are, you have many fundamental things in common. Maybe you were born on their favorite brother’s birthday, or you met on a very significant weekend. Maybe you both went to the same type of elementary and high school, or you had the same college major. One or two of these things could just be coincidence, but with a twin flame, you’ll probably have many overlapping similarities.

18. They show you what you most desire as well as what you most fear. Their purpose is not (and has never been) to make you feel “settled” or comfortable, but to help introduce you to yourself.

The frustrating Software Engineering Recruitment process

The frustrating Software Engineering Recruitment process

Avoid frustration in software engineers by de-robotizing recruitment process for them.

Software engineers usually change their jobs with the availability of new opportunities. But it only adds frustration in their lives. Actually changing jobs is really challenging for software engineer while entering into a recruitment process.

Now a question arises “how to avoid such frustrations experienced by software engineers while getting into a recruitment process?

It’s a common fact that Market requires highly experienced people and companies always demand people with extensive programming experience.

Software engineers receive invitations and their will to get better job force them to apply for a new job but the recruiters want CV(s), experienced people and this requirement tend them to skip the objectives and the announcement made by an individual in his profile.

Applying in many places having software engineering’s degree and expecting just two or three call letters is not a big deal. It seems that we are dealing with a large number of customers in email marketing and expecting just 10% winning lead.

For convenience we had a talk with a community of senior and junior software engineers and their feedback really matters. In this way we can provide enough arguments and conclusions. After having a detailed conversation I have got the following conclusions.

  • The most common problem faced by the software engineers is the email type sent by recruiters. According to the engineers, along with a software developer they are humans as well. They want direct emails instead of standard mass massages. That’s why they find it difficult.
  • Software engineers want a direct approach. In other words they want that the recruiters should use their phone numbers to approach software engineers and give them a quick and short presentation about their client’s requirements. In this way software engineers will get a good guideline about their work.
  • Software engineers are also interested in sending a brief reassurance about their CV(s).Actually they can provide recruits a large description about a technology mentioned there from their knowledge map. Of course it would help recruiters to reduce any dead times during recruitment process.


Here is the best example of potential frustrating scenario.


A software developer sitting in his office receives a call from a recruiter. He gets out of his office for ten minutes to have a good conversation because he knows that it might be a potential opportunity.

Responding to the recruiter he answers. Then he informs recruiter about his skills and asks a couple of questions about their client’s company vision and type of their work like deployment, versioning, roadmap, development plan, existing and future use of which technologies, etc.

Afterwards the recruiter schedules a call for developer with Mr. “Mario Calderon” for next week and sets the time and cut the call with wishes.

After this the next stage comes, a conversation with Mr. Mario (a mock software development manager). Then the development manager asks the same rhetoric questions, firstly asked by the recruiter. The software developer get frustrated as both knows that they have already scheduled this interview then the development manger and recruiter should not ask that ‘how’s going?”,”is there a good time to chat?” etc. Both knows that the reason for being at the phone is “pre screening“ and of course he is there for interview. So, the interviewer must use another polite way to ask like “hi, is this Mr.x? Hello! I am y. Let’s come to the point, so Mr.xx…” it would be a relaxed and better humanized conversation.

Actually the software developer wants a comfortable professional conversation instead of that traditional chat.

Anyways, now it comes to next stage and now the candidate would be interviewed by a team. Now the team, it’s a interview and the software developer is here to show them that he is perfectly qualified for that position and of course he has his CV along with him that perfectly explains how qualified he is and what are his achievements. But the team will ask typical questions about his degree. After that the developer asks couple of questions about the roadmap and the goals in the business for the next term. He asks all these questions just to know about the potential changes and challenges that he might face after being selected. He asks all these questions for his convenience but all this goes negative in his favor. Actually the interviewing team thought that he is overconfident and overqualified, he might has a small partnership or maybe he runs a business of his own so he may not commit with them and they will feel uncomfortable with such an overqualified person. Actually they judge a candidate on their own standards. It seems that they were not seeking for a person who can perfectly run their business instead they are looking for a person with whom they can feel comfortable. But we can do nothing with their way of judgment.


To avoid all this there are some points that should be kept in mind from the beginning, so that we can avoid such frustrations.


  • Have a good and comfortable conversation with the software developer and its recruiter’s duty to filter such small facts. So we can avoid such worst results at the end(after having couple of interviews and wasting their own and developer’s time, at the last step they come to know that this person is not suitable for them).
  • They should discuss candidate’s performance and should ask some questions about his overall situation, not just only professional one. If it’s mentioned in his CV that he is “python” experienced than it does not mean that he is an expert of python. He might need more experience in that field and it’s just an experience certificate that might be of just two months. So if the candidate’s experience level does not comply with the demanded one than obviously this will affect both the parties.
  • Recruiters must use other means such as phone calls etc. to approach candidates else than standard emails. It would be easy for the developer to understand and he could have a detailed description bout their client’s requirements. it will save their time wasted in distinguishing direct email from a mass message.
  • Company should ask a developer to fill a self assessment form based on his skills and mentioning every technology and scale.


There are some leaks in the recruitment process but that would be discussed in another article.

For the moment, I guess if some recruiters finds this useful, I hope it may generate a small change in everyone favour.

Why Engineers are keen to be great every day!

Why Engineers are keen to be great every day!

Why programmers/software engineers are keen to become great every day

Today’s reality is quick paced, captivating and innovative. It is loaded with imaginative individuals who are achieving new statures of progress with every passing day accordingly conveying the world to a radically new level of innovative headway, and these progressions or headways are quick. New creations are being made with every passing hour, and new programming is being produced to run the aforementioned innovations.

This article looks into why programmers and software engineers are keen to become great every day. Programmers and software engineers are the innovators of the technologies that every one of depending on each day. The mobile phones for instance. Will you envision them working without programming? The response to that question is no on the grounds that it would not be conceivable. Then again take a gander at the application that rings, sings or hums us out of the bed each day in the morning? That application exists in this world because of the diligent work and ability of some software designer who never stopped aiming for greatness (Rako, 2008). The online networking applications and social media that people rely upon each day to stay in contact with our companions, family and friends are likewise designed by programmers and software engineers. E-banking, pdf books online, cooking phone applications; these are the work of some software engineer who always aimed for greatness and managed to come up with such wonderful apps and innovations.

The reasons why programmers and software engineers have to strive constantly to achieve greatness are numerous but not until you consider some of the motives that the whole idea adds up. Programmers and software engineers work in teams. First, one needs to be passionate, be a hard worker and committed for them to make a great addition to the team. Apart from these personality traits, one still needs to have vital skills in teamwork and communication. Creating endless lines of codes does not make one a crucial member of the team. One needs to sell brilliant, innovative ideas to the team and the decision makers (Smith, 2006). Even when one is having a wonderful idea, they have to convince the rest of the team that the idea is great. One has to regularly advertise their passion as well as perception.

The work experience for programmers and software engineers is like wine; the more you stay in the profession, the more it becomes easier and more successful. When at the University, software students do a lot of cool stuff. They do algorithms, fun games, low-level programming name it. When they get to the job class, they do not find such stuff. Indeed, there are startups that have brilliant ideas, but there exist a huge chance that they will still end up maintaining and developing CRUD applications. In most cases these are boring tasks but continuing the hard work and determination for greatness, a software engineer or programmer stumbles on a real gem. The software jobs get much more interesting as the programmers continue with programming growing their self in the profession and taking more senior responsibilities. Programmers are ambitious, and they want to learn new stuff each and every time. As a programmer or software engineer, you have to convince your boss that giving you something new to do benefits both you and the company entirely.

A programmer or software engineer might constantly feel like they already know a lot, but this is never the case. Technology changes so fast. A software engineer or programmer requires sacrificing more of their time to learn and get more knowledge. This is never an easy task. It is surprising to learn that something new only to find out that there is already another new thing in the world of possibilities that waits to be explored (Gladwell, 2008). Each time a programmer comes up with something new, there are always already some other new things that are waiting to remind them of how little they know. Programmers and software engineers are keen to become great every day because they like to learn, and that is what their profession is all about.

One of the acknowledgments a youthful software engineer or programmer need to make is to acknowledge the possibility that they cannot know everything. Software engineers and programmers need to prioritize a great deal and come up with methodologies concerning their time investment. It is much the same as diversifying investment of one’s cash. One can learn simple stuff that can get them a little yet certain returns, yet they additionally need to go out on a limb and gain some new useful knowledge and in vogue (Abbott, et al. 2001). This thing can be dead one year from now yet in the event that one need to keep focused and ideally turn into a specialist, later on; then they have to do this. The life of a programmer or software engineer always revolves around this. Now and then they have to come up with something innovative and trendy irrespective of the fact that it can become obsolete just a year onwards. As thus, each and every day programmers and software engineers is keen on becoming great.

There are around 1 in 10 university graduates who are out there looking for a career in engineering every year, as thus it is important that one becomes aware of the vital skills and the qualities that are required in engineering so as to give themselves a competitive advantage over the other numerous applicants. What is responsible for making the average job searching difficult is the point that one makes no progress each time they make an attempt by submitting applications here and there. On the other hand, when one consistently gets feedbacks and progress as each day they learn something new, it is only a matter of weeks, and they are sure of securing a job despite having to spend a lot of time on the search, it is less frustrating (“How to manage job search frustration – Quora,” n.d.). The focus, therefore, narrows down to the CVs that the applicants do submit.

Applicants in most cases defocus their application since they incorporate a lot of information in their CV to an extent of losing the main points. The main issue as thus is because of the large numbers of applicants yet it is only 10% of the entire sum that has the required talent. The current market, in the field of engineering and programming, is jumbled up with professionals as well as wannabes. What this means is that when they both forward their applications, then the company randomly disposes of half of the applications by luck, there is a high chance that professionals are eliminated for the sake of the wannabes. In such instances, we do not have to blame the recruiters, but rather we need to seek a solution the issue. Their need to come up with a better filter or any other practicable solution that creates the world’s social network dedicated to engineers, IT professionals, network professionals, and other professionals.

To begin with, there are some things that an applicant needs to accomplish so as to see to it that they move from an applicant to an interviewee. An applicant needs to network him or herself by leveraging their social media as well as coming up a personal network. Apart from networking themselves, applicants need to do research on the institution that they are applying to. They need to know more than enough about the organization from their achievements to their shortcomings in equal measure. Subsequently, there is the need to call the recruiter. The reason for this is to build a rapport with the recruiter and acquaint oneself.  One has to follow up on their application after submission (“8 Things You Need To Know About Applicant Tracking Systems – Jobscan Blog,” n.d.). The recruiter needs to understand that you are serious about your application. Above all, an applicant needs not to fully trust the application-tracking-systems (ATS).

Narrowing down to the ATSs, these are applicant’s management systems that are designed to sort, organize and maintain CVs. Other than this, there is a need to understand that ATSs are never programmed as candidate selection tools. Owing to the present as well as the past failures of ATSs to accurately come up with the suitable candidates, they must not be considered as the preference for including or rejecting applicants (Hoffmann, et al. 2007; Faliagka, et al. 2012)

Basically, the Application Tracking Systems enable the recruitment procedure to be streamlined and easy for those recruiting and at the same time they make short the time that it takes for the recruiter to make contact with the applicants who are considered as the best candidates (“Rejection Still Sucks! | Zorha Evans, MS, SPHR, SHRM-SCP | LinkedIn,” n.d.). In most instances, the hiring process is not fully automated, and there are phases where the applicants have to meet their potential employers, for instance for interviews. The ATSs give applicants the chance to score highly on the ATSs before they meet face to face with the recruiters to give them the opportunity to boost their chances. What this means is that applicants need to research jobs and optimize their resumes with keywords way before they apply

The applicant experience right from the start needs to be the vanguard. Hiring institutions constantly lose the chances to land interviews with the qualified candidates that have all their listed preferred requirements owing to the reliance on tools such as ATSs. It is because of such facts that there is a need to develop a system that efficiently clusters and sorts out applications and analyzes them to ensure that the right candidates are called in for interviews and not the wannabes without talent.

Traditional and Modern Management

Traditional and Modern Management

Traditional and Modern Management
Name: Mihai Enescu

The trends in the workplace at times are normally out of fashion. The relentless need to change has translated into a number of employees opting to put on jeans each day to work and t-shirts and on the contrary the job industry becoming increasingly formal. Dressing aside, there are a number of factors that will be responsible for how employees work, how software engineers get their work done over the coming years. It is important to consider how the traditional workplace would compare with the modern workplace, and the main point of consideration is management.

The first place that needs consideration is the working hours. Traditionally, there are some hours that are set aside for work and a number of days as well as a given number of holidays each year. For instance, normally people go work from nine to five, and a number of organizations have the notion that they should have their employees stacked in one place. We report to work from nine to six and with only an hour break in between. The boss that we work with is constantly on us, and it is not appropriate having to go outside every other five ten minutes lest you are called aside to discuss the effects that you are adding to the group because of your countless breaks (Certo, 2015). As programmers, software engineers have to get to the office since it is mandatory that they work as a team. It might seem like the work is purely group work, yes, but at the office the team is always busy and engaged in their work, and there is literally no person that can provide you with assistance in case you are met with a difficulty, or maybe when you want to get answers to a question that has been disturbing you (Anderson, 2003). The experienced developers take this as a sign of only trying to save time rather than carrying out researches personally and keep the team’s work on course without being left behind.

It becomes a little difficult when I want to fit my work around several other commitments such as social life and family. I spent basically my entire day at work every day save for weekends. I cannot get to do some stuff that is done on normal weekdays because when am free, for instance, the banks are closed. Technologies such as the portable IT gadgets and developments in the mobile technology makes the traditional workplace kind of redundant and other than insisting that there has to need to have the flex time that is guaranteed to all the workers particularly when the developers can prove a good case for the opportunity.

Here is a case where am working with a team that is well organized and that which is very enthusiastic and have a passionate Technology Production Manager. Other than the attitude towards the hours for working, there is a need for a quite relaxed management where the workers are allowed longer micromanaged and are as well trusted to come up with their individual plans for the organizations and to work in ways that it is them who find to be more productive. As developers, we are working in a group of four, and that explains why we are constantly collaborating so as to ensure that the output of the group is sufficient and efficient in the eyes of the demand. The kind of management that we have at the moment is an example of a modern management technique other than the hierarchical management technique that was employed in the ancient times where it was the individuals who were valued and not the subjects to superiority or their inferiority irrespective of whether they are young or old (Aurum, et al. 2013). Working as a team is one kind of modern management where young and upcoming software engineers get mentorships from the experienced team members, they get to be directed on how things are done and not only being showed by mere talk.

Looking at my group, we are four, and we are so much concerned about collaboration where we review the codes that we are working with as we make sure that they are as clean as possible considering that a team can be perfect, but individuals cannot be. Every day at work, we need to spend four hours working together as a team and the other four hours we take as flexible where we can use them to complete individual portions and carry out the researches. We are motivated to maintain the attention to the details and to read the documents every other time since we are out to produce impressive work, deliver the work on time and quality is mandatory meaning we need to be careful not to rush in an attempt to beat time as Shaw (2000) portrays. The overall outlook is that the balance between personal life and the work life is perfect, and this makes the first reason of motivation that we have to stick to as an organization. Every software engineer is a committed individual. They like what they are doing, and that is why they are always available to commit the much they can with respect to the part that they are respected and their work too, other than the salary and the strict agreements of contracts.

The other aspect of modern management is the social network. The location of workers is increasingly becoming fragmented, and every other company is coming up with their own social network platforms so as to permit socialization among the employees, particularly members of a given team that hardly meets with the members of other teams (Gadgil & Berkes, 2001). It is such awareness that reduces the time among the colleagues as vital for establishing relationships as well as promoting collaboration among the employees. As thus, the aspect that companies are more concerned with the happiness of the employees comes into view, and it is this happiness that is key to productivity within the organization (Schreiber, 2000). These are the aspects that make the modern management different from the traditional management where little attention was given to the happiness of the employees.

With a shift towards a healthy work-life balance, the idea of having health employees has translated to content employees as well as the accomplishment of the office wellness systems is borne out by the efficiency proliferations as the days are continually lost as a result of absent workers who are out due to ill health (Kuhn, 2014). The employers are picking the trend looking set to come up with a company gym membership, they are setting up health insurance and even the in-house massage and coming up with fruit systems are being set up in the workplaces. It is these aspects that make my employers modern as they are concerned about our wellbeing. Considering that as developers, we are always working as a team, when a team member is out, the output of the group is greatly affected. In the traditional management systems, the employers were having little concerns in the lives of their employees as long as they were working and beating deadlines (Pressman, 2005). Leaves were granted to sick employees to seek medical attention but there were no fruit programs or workplace gyms that would help the workers stay fit and healthy. Looking at software engineers under traditional management, group work is not put into consideration as each developer is assigned tasks that they are to work on other than be members of a team of developers like in our case.

The other aspect is that the software engineers are not thrilled with the point of having to tirelessly keep working and there is little to show for the hard work in terms of wages earned. The good thing is that the developers are passionate about what they are doing and as thus are lesser concerned with the wages they are accorded as long as they get their things done. At the moment, I go to work as supposed and am adhering to all the requirements and expectations, but I still have a simple salary, what keeps me going? Developers work out of passion; they do not work to build interests, neither for themselves or the organization (Zmud, 2000). The developers are aware that they have to contribute, and their features are used with customers and when they are having more customers will mean that more money and they are not interested in this even if their wages remain stagnant at the low they are in. Wages is not what drives the developers.

Conclusively, the motivation that flows within the team is what promotes us, and we are always encouraged to do our best on every assignment that we are tackling. Managers are not to get frustrated over the lack of quality engineers. Indeed, the traditional management is a lot stricter on time where the employees have to be at work from nine to five and have fewer coffee breaks of not more that 2-3. It is this aspect of traditional management in my workplace that needs to be worked on. Looking for individuals who can keep time, in most cases time alone, translates to opting to have punctual monkeys at the workplace other than have creative individuals at the workplace considering the fields where there are needs for statisticians or even advanced programmers who are handling big data and problem-solving knowledge (O’Shannassy, 2003). Issues come up when the employers are not ready to exploit the talent that the developers are having and their magnificent knowledge and instead look at other somewhat irrelevant aspects as such as having as fewer coffee breaks as possible. There are numerous start-ups that are growing up rapidly since they are able to tap into the technical knowledge that the developers have in the name of employing a modern management other than the traditional management that pays a little attention to the employees.
