Housing.com provided an opportunity to write a story around a moment that filled me with optimism and hope for the future. And here is my take on the advantages of being optimistic... always! 

I am one of those people branded a "techie" by the outside world. I work a minimum of nine hours in a box called the cubicle, constantly under pressure of deadlines, bosses, performance reviews and the like. However significant (or otherwise) my work might be, it is very easy for my work to become my life.

That, is dangerous. Work is not life. Not just for the techie in question, but for all of us out here. If some bug (lifeless, that doesn't even exist in the real world!) can make us believe that work is our life, life starts to lose its meaning.

Being under pressure is not a new thing for most employees. I am no exception. So I do get pulled down by pressure. This was one of such situations. Finish an almost impossible task, by end-of-day!
