Focused
I’m writing this as I am “focused” aka drunk. This brings out the perspectives I have. No prejutice, no defences & just thoughts. From being a guy that always reserves thoughts, to a guy that is able to bring forth my thoughts this are the three areas I see.
Life
We as humans live an average of 79 years. higher in developed countries, lower in others. Would you trade time for money? If you are working for a big company, being a freelancer, you are essentially doing that. What I see (as a student) is that in today’s world, people value the things they can’t do as more valuable to the things they can do. Let me change that perspective a little. Indeed, me as a tech person, could focus on tech, build the platform and outsource a business person to do the user research and market my product. WRONG. I totally reject this point. What I see is learning it places so much more to it. I would rather be learning business (Reading New Sales Simplified) because it adds so much more value to my life. Learning new technology such as Yii 2, React, GraphQL, are only learning tools and ignoring the other areas of life. We are living with other humans. Why are we building tools without understanding what other humans want and only focused on what I want.
Passion
This is such a huge field and call for an article itself. There are two areas that people debate in. Either do what you are passionate in or, do what life provides you with. Spoken to countless friends (student friends) and I realize that most people does not have a vision in life (For me it is all about Community & Education, want to learn more? contact me). Why can’t it be both. Is it because of the time, providing focus to one area? There’s so much to think about and one thing for sure is that every human is unique (Look at medium, thousands of articles written by top players in the market). What I say is that this people who aren’t the best can do so much more and today’s society does not allow them too (You are either the best or the worst). There is no room for discussion.
Fun
Living is not all about work. It is to destress. If you are interested, take a look into Recharge Yourself, great article to feel refreshed and focused. Love life, live life. Whatever you might regret, reflect and move on, not doing the same thing. Mistakes might happen, and it will, but embrace it rather than shy away from it. There is so much more to life that you should not blame yourself or others for a mistake (minor or major). In a gist, you never know how a mistake could potentially lead to a greater product.
Summary
My perspective might be wrong but by putting this out, it pressures me to write better content, be self aware, as more people are reading my posts. Relationships are core to humanity. Do it today.
*You might ask, why am I writing such 1 draft and publish kind of articles. It’s quantity compared to quality. What I see is that things takes time and as people read my article, I feel it is a valued path to review it and fix it more.
