1. If someone (your boss or someone you work for) asked you to do a task, you need to review tasks. If you think the deadline for that tasks is too early and you can’t make it, tell your boss that you can’t make it on time. Always give daily updates on how you progress with your tasks.

2. Be very careful in choosing your mastermind group.

3. Always allot time for your task once a day. Maybe one or two hours a day. It’s up to you to plan your time for your tasks.

SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. It allows for formatting (date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and normalization.

class java.text.SimpleDateFormat extends java.text.DateFormat

Here’s the sample program:

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;

public class StringToDate
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(”yyyyMMdd”);

      Date tdate;

      try
      {
         tdate = df.parse(”20091008″);
         DateFormat df2 = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
         String cstr1 = df2.format(tdate);
         System.out.println(”SHORT Style: ” + cstr1);

         df2 = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG);
         String cstr2 = df2.format(tdate);
         System.out.println(”LONG Style: ” + cstr2);     

         df2 = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
         String cstr3 = df2.format(tdate);
         System.out.println(”MEDIUM Style: ” + cstr3);

         df2 = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL);
         String cstr4 = df2.format(tdate);
         System.out.println(”FULL Style: ” + cstr4);
      }
      catch(ParseException e)
      {
      }
   }
}

Here’s the output:

SHORT Style: 10/8/09
LONG Style: October 8, 2009
MEDIUM Style: Oct 8, 2009
FULL Style: Thursday, October 8, 2009

In 1995, Ms. Arias was still single. Many of my classmates had a crush on her for she’s cute.

I learned Philippine History and English Grammar from her class.
