Granted a lot of Medium articles are written because, well, people want to find something to learn to write or something. This one though, struck an immediate tone with me. It is amazing what deadlines can do for you. When you have an end date/goal in front of you, you have something to achieve .. and that should drive you much better.

Kinda like any sports. Take cricket for example. Teams are ranked based on their performances in the prior 4 years leading up to the world cup. But when the world cup starts, it is a whole new ball game. Why, because they’ve got something to aim at, the trophy!

And that is why you see lots of ‘upsets’ in tournament games versus the regular bilateral games.

I am replacing the back-end with PHP & MySQL ( I am not a Medium-Head … lol ) and am starting now.

May 1, 2020 is when I should be employable for sure, in shaa Allaah (God willing). Cool. May 9th is when I will turn 53 too :D

Great!
