Programmers — Stop Faking Your Passion. Chase it, Instead.
Recently I came across story of a Nigerian soft drink seller named Crypto Shaolin. Living in poverty, he came to know about Bounty0x from one of his acquaintances. The platform offered crypto money in exchange of social media marketing tasks for startups.
The man ended up earning $50K annually working 15–20 hours / week — far from his original job chasing tourists with his ice box in the heat of Africa.
This article is not about investing in Crypto and dream about waking up a millionaire. It’s about lifting oneself out of grueling routines.
It’s about preparing for tomorrow that doesn’t have to involve exchanging your time for paying bills.
It’s not about leaving your passions, but about avoiding to submerge yourself under swamp topped up by lotuses posing as passions.
It is also about postponing your genuine passions for a time with better control of the situation.
