Handling the stress

 As a CVD engineers we tend to be exposed to the measurement of our film stress, The stress are generated by the change in the intrinsic or extrinsic behavior of the film that we are studying. Extracting the radius of curvature change and using the stoney equation to derived the value of this stress in the film is something that we as a CVD engineer routinely oversee and analyzed. But how do we measure the stress the is exerted to the engineer by their work load. This is something that we need to reflect and ponder, as the enormous burden carried by the engineer during his or her work can be daunting and stressful at times. This will lead to burn out situation in some engineers and causes them to have anxiety attacks, sleep deprivation issue and other physical and mental health problem that is detrimental to the productivity of the engineers. The drop in the productivity by the engineers will eventually lead to the loss of man hours and productivity for the company as engineers are hired to solved problem hence a company will continue to linger on issues that they faced

A balancing act

 We are always astounded by the visual image of a juggler juggling 4 to 5 balls at the same time. From what i learned this kind of skill is something that we can be trained with something that we need to flex our muscles with. The juggling act requires certain skills and training and i believe as an engineer balancing the work and your family requires you to do the same. I believe when you want to achieve a work life balance the first that you have to be sure or clear with is what are you trying to balance. Having a clear and visible goals will help you to see things clearly and plan hence making arrangement when its required. For certain people life is about balancing your work and family. As we age maturity sets in and you tend to see the scenic view of what is important to you. How do you actually achieve the best from both world. Ensuring that your career are not stagnant and your family doesn't stumble when you are trying to achieve what is best in your career. When the career that you have started to demand your undivided attention then i guess it is something that you have to consider when looking for your next job.  Finding a job that suits your family schedule allowing you to fulfill the responsibility to your family is a big reward by itself. If you feel that finding a different job is difficult then try discussing and negotiating a life plan that works with you and your employer. If the employer feels that you are critical to the organization this is one bargaining chip that you can use to achieve this balancing act. In the end i believe having a clear goal of what you are trying to balance is something that you have to define first in your life so do you know what are you trying to juggle now?

To write impactful thoughts

 I have already read through quite a lot of books but alas the problem has always persisted in hindering me from putting letters to papers, this is a struggle that i felt is worth overcoming since as a professional writing is the path that entails expertise in a certain field , you can see in a few numbers of books how experts actually expertly deliver their thought literally with success and brought readers to their world in understanding the concept that they want to convey in the context that they have. I have always thought in order for you to write here are some things to consider before embarking into this journey

1) Be passionate about the things that you would like to write

2) Jot down or scribble down your ideas and record them

3) Always start with a storyline of what are the things you want to write

4) Write and write. However short the things that write be prepare to expound it later when more ideas surface through your writing.

I am not sure whether the stamina that is required to write something impactful requires continuous practice so that we can actually pen into papers the thoughts that lingers through our mind. I guess in order to write we have to ensure that we have something in mind to write, reading and reading should be the path in order to generate ideas for us to write something. I have been wondering how does other people actually write something in the social media.
