Wrong data caused error

Yesterday was a very confused day. The Education Information System in office was error. Some faculties (IT Faculty and Economic Faculty) call me, informed me the error. I was confuse, there isn't error before. My program made with Oracle Developer 9i.

In the education information system, there is a form that displaying Budi Luhur University lecture schedule. Yesterday the schedule of was not displayed. Then I opened the schedule of other faculty (Social and Political Sciences Faculty), it was no problem, the program run well.

I opened the program, and I tried to find the wrong. I read the code carefully, line by line, word by word. But, I didn't find the error code.

After about 30 minutes I could not find the error, I remember that wrong data can caused error. Uh..ha...!!!. I was sure that there was an error data in database. I opened TOAD (Toad is an oracle database editor), and I wrote a query to select data. Great....! It was an error data. Then I deleted the wrong data and re-insert the rihgt data, after that a run the program and.... Excellent...! The program run well.

That accident remembering me that computer has characteristic GIGO, 'Garbage In Garbage Out'. So, don't input the wrong data. It will make error your program.

Life is too short to drink a bad coffee

Life is too short to drink a bad coffee. I got this statement from an advertisement in one of national daily newspaper in Indonesia, KOMPAS[DOT]COM.

I think this statement means life is too short to do bad things. This statement sounds easy to implement it in our life, but in fact, it's so hard. We must calculate everything we will do, and after got the best choice, do that.

However, nothing we can't do. Man can do everything. He only needs will and big spirit and enthusiasm and struggle. Believe it. Thomas Alfa Edison, he was an idiot child. But, he has will and struggle. Thomas Alfa Edison that was successful made the prototype of glowing light after the trial that failed 9,999 times. "I did not fail, I succeeded in proving that 9,999 raw material kinds could not be used. I will continue this trial until found the best material". Sylvester Stallone. To market Rocky he was refused by 1855 times. Walt Disney introduced the proposal "Disneyland" to banks in the United States was refused by as many as 302 times. Before finding the element of radium, the research of Marie Curie failed as many as 48 times. "In fact, necessary more than 100 years to find this element, and While I am still living, I will not stop this research".

The names above was the names of the person who choose coffee that had a high quality in their living. They did not choose bad coffee. I remember the saying, "If you think you can, so you can but if you think you are a can, so you are a can". Who wants to be success? Everyone wants. But, less of them know how to be.

In many cases, we often felt that we did a right thing, but, actually it was a very bad decision. So, be carefully, and be right, be success.
