Getting Philosophical

was just thinking about atul chitnis's session on how size and distance are related. he showed a simple example to illustrate that many factors contribute towards the effectiveness/usefulness of a thing. n u cant ignore any of them. he simply asked us if the clock on the wall was bigger than your wristwatch. well if u compare them side by side the wall-clock is much bigger in size but when the wall clock is hung on the wall, its prob at a much longer distance than ur wristwatch n thus u'll find wristwatch 2 b more effective.
well theres not much of a connection of his statement with what i've concluded :)) as he was simply talkin about mobile computing and its problems. but somehow i've landed with the following thoughts.
when u r actually going through problems, you will always feel that this is the biggest problem but few yrs down the line the same problem will appear to be really small. so basically as u travel the distance in time, even the biggest problem then, will appear to be the tiniest. the point is always try to have a birds eye view when u r dealing with any problem and soon u'll realise dealing with any problem is no problem at all.
