To progress, knowledge requires action!

A photo I took from my phone recently when I visited Thulusdhoo, in the Capital District of the Malidves. Extra-ordinary natural beauty, which just gives me the calmness and inner piece. I had to wake up early and walk 45mins to reach this place in the Island so I can take a nice picture without getting anyone else in it.

When I look back, I felt I have left something behind. Something I am very passionate about. Writing and sharing my thoughts. I first started this blog as a way to learn how blogging works. Now that I have had many years to think about this fact, I have decided to start doing what I am passionate about.
Last night I was wondering about. I had no direction within me. Like any of us when we feel bored little bit, we start using our smart phones. I was no different. I opened Netflix and did not have any enthusiasm to go watch any episodes. Then my second option is always YouTube. I was drifting away and was suggested a video of Tony Robbins.
I must say whenever I listen to or watch a Tony Robbins Video, it has a very positive impact on me. So I thought, why waste any other day. Why waste more time in getting a domain, getting a better hosting provider, designing my own website, lets just do it. So here I am putting knowledge in to action. When i checked my blog articles from 2008, I have had passion to write just about anything technology. I called this blog, "My Whindhu" in my local language, it means my pulse. So back then my pulse was moving with technology. So it meant that technology is the heart of civilization and my pulse is connected with it. Now, so many years after that, my beliefs are a bit different. My ultimate goal in life has become to be a "better human being". That is to be a better human being in every aspect of life.
I have a full-time job and a part-time lecturing job at one of the best private institutions in my country and a beautiful wife and a superb daughter,  I have always felt that I am too busy to do anything else in life. But like everyone of us, I also get tough times. In tough times, I always try my best to find an answer, an answer to over  come the hardship of life. So one day I saw this great talk of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it gave me so much insight into life's hardship. From that day on wards, I have tried to take some time for myself and just listen to people who talks about self improvement, motivation, and to do more with life. This new habit keeps me busy with mainly two extra-ordinary speakers. The first person is Less Brown and the second person as I have mentioned before is Tony Robbins.
As I am writing this article, I still have all my problems, drama of life keeps going on, financial hard ship is getting worse, I owe considerable amount of money and without a home mortgage I have bank loans, credit card bills and anymore tough issues that any one of us could go through, but just believing that I can over come all of that with appropriate decisions and acting upon knowledge that I acquire from the great speakers and the books i read, it gives me hope and that is progress. It gives me pulse to move on. So this article will be the fist step I take to transform knowledge into action. Because the most important lesson I learned from Tony Robbin's talks is that to feel alive and to feel the pulse we have to "progress". No mater what the financial situation is no matter how hard it gets, if you progress, you will feel alive.

Dhivehi to English translation with Microsoft translator

  The Dhivehi language translation feature included in Microsoft translator and Microsoft 365 lets you press a button and translate written Dhivehi into English. Though there are a few hiccups here and there, the service is great and provides an understanding of the overall document. This is more than what we see from any existing models. I was amazed to see a link in one of my outlook web emails, it says “translate message to: English” which could mean nothing usually, however, when I saw the next sentence which said “Never translate from: Divehi”, I thought why would it says Divehi specifically if it doesn’t understand that the entire email was written in Dhivehi? Out of curiosity, I pressed the button, and to my surprise, it was quite good. The essence of the message was retained very well. For example, something like އިޙްތިރާމް ޤަބޫލުކުރެއްވުން އެދެން could be translated as “ I would like to respect you ”, which is ok in terms of translation, but what it meant was greeti...

Fortifying Cybersecurity: A NIST CSF Perspective on Zero Trust and Passkeys

Cybersecurity is like protecting a fortress from invaders. Traditionally, we built strong walls around our castle, trusting those inside and keeping potential threats outside. But in today's digital world, threats can come from within and outside, making traditional defences inadequate. This is where the concept of zero trust comes in. What is Zero Trust? Imagine your home. You don't blindly trust everyone who walks in, right? You might ask for identification or make sure they have a reason to be there. Zero trust is similar. It means not automatically trusting anyone or anything trying to access your digital "home" (like your network or data). Instead, it's about constantly verifying and monitoring every access attempt, regardless of where it comes from. Why Zero Trust Matters: Zero trust addresses three key goals in cybersecurity, often called the CIA triad: Confidentiality : Just like you wouldn't want strangers snooping through your person...

Why Understanding Your Risks is Your Best Cyber Defence

  In today's digital age, headlines blare about "unprecedented data breaches" and "nation-state cyberattacks." It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, where sophisticated zero-day exploits can bypass even the most fortified defences. But amidst this complexity, a fundamental truth remains: effective cybersecurity starts with understanding your risks. As Bruce Schneier stated, "Security is not a product, but a process." Just as a military commander wouldn't enter battle without understanding the terrain and potential threats, organizations must grasp the digital landscape in which they operate. Imagine a battlefield shrouded in thick fog. You wouldn't blindly charge ahead, would you? Risk assessment is akin to possessing a high-powered thermal sight, piercing the fog to reveal the hidden dangers lurking in the digital landscape. It's a systematic process of identifying your organization's critical a...
