Life

A year ago today, I was looking to get a job as a software developer. Today I am working as Head of Startups at a firm. A lot changes in 365 days.

I won't write a long post here, I'll give the summary of what I learned building up to where I am now.

Before I decided to venture in software development, I was very unfocused. I wanted to do so many things, and couldn't find the strength to concentrate on the things that matter.

Getting to where I am now, I learned to focus immensely on the things that matter, while letting go of distractions and the things I couldn't control.

My life now is a string of activities. I multi-task, yes, but I am highly focused, because I can concentrate heavily. I dedicate time to every activity I have to do, I pick my tasks based on priority and work in that order.

Now I achieve more by being focused.

There were lots of ups and downs but having a single motive kept me going. It was my biggest drive to not give up.

I am still on my journey, and I am hopeful I can reach my destination.

Nonetheless, I will still keep fighting and pushing forward.

Lessons learned along the way:

Take your life seriously. If you don't, no one else will

Never neglect those who love you for the pursuit of material gains

Be prudent with your time. Time lost can't be regained

Have a vision for yourself

Love yourself above all else. (The love in you will radiate to everything around you)

I leave you with this quote by my humble self 🙂
