Shoshin - Steve's blog

Why shoshin ? :)

mercredi juin 25, 2008

It is time to tell a few words about the title of my Blog shoshin  means the beginner's mind and I wish to all (especially to myself !) to keep such spirit of openness. Following that way I will be always happy to see a new small application running fine for the first time even it is is a typical "Hello World" (especially in that case !) , do you remember that kind of feeling the first time you wrote your first lines of code in C or Java once it works ? :)


Beyond to this funny example, there are plenty of examples in life to adopt the shoshin way, in martial arts for instance (I am 1st Dan of Aikido)  how to enjoy to execute  the same kata alone or to practice with someone after 20 years when you have done that technique thousands of time ? Shoshin !


In music how to enjoy to play the same track after 20 years whereas you have played it thousands of time yet ? Shoshin !


The beauty of that way it that spirit is that it works also at home
