Last week, I was admitted to the hospital due to dengue. I faced a few complications, but Alhamdulillah, everything is fine now, and I have returned home.

During my stay at the hospital, I observed that nurses and junior doctors followed specific protocols. The protocol was to follow the instructions of the expert, senior, or consultant doctor.

By following their instructions, I received proper treatment.

I realized that in our day-to-day affairs, we should follow similar protocols while talking, speaking, writing, coding, and so on.

If a medical condition can be treated by following protocols, then many other aspects of life can benefit from them too.

While talking or writing, be humble and patient. Always choose kind words to express your point of view and maintain a positive demeanor.

In coding, understand the problem completely. Ask as many questions as you need to clarify the scenario, determine what is urgent and important, and inquire about the right resources, etc.

These are examples of protocols, and I’m sure there are many more. Just explore them and start following them in your life to become better.
