      College was when I realized that books are just like a user manual, it provides an abstract idea of whatever the fuck it is talking about and even give you some guidance on how to replicate, but it is never a learning material. Sadly, I learned that too late, but fortunately, It was how I got into programming.

Missing out on people, parties, good social life... That's more of a life of a loner actually. I was i guess wtih a group one time, i've enojoyed is way more than being alone and it's harding pushing onward, but sometimes you level up with a company and sometimes alone. like at one point it becomes just so sad because you are literally sacrificing days months and years of your life to be able to make a living and be happy financially, that you dont realize there is more to life than just working. Travelling is a huge stress reliever imo, calms mind and soul, making friends and going all out on travels -with hard earned money makes it worth it tho. Better than spending out miserable days working for low income salaries live pay check to paycheck.
      anyway, the hardest part is optimizing your every day and routine. make it fun, make it enjoyable, anything you learn or advance on it, market it, promote yourself with it, get even higher earning jobs, open side business with someone who is willing to put in the hours and needs capital, be partners, after awhile quit the jobs, work on employing people to make money for you, travel, enjoy, get laid, order a cocktail, put your legs on the table and relax boss

I appreciated every bit of what you said, especially when you talked about being recruited as a software engineer meanwhile you've not being coding for some time back then. I can totally relate to that, being in that exact same situation right now. The imposter syndrome just kills me every time I think about my new job because I just feel like there's so much stuff I have to catch up with and it's so hard bearing these feelings.
    Anyways, thanks for that relieving statement you said : "Anything is learnable, as long as you sit back, read and practice."👌🏻👌🏻 Just guess I have to be patient with myself and actually take a step at a time on this dreadful journey😅

    This! and nothing else. When you're a bit of a generalist and you learn many different things it gives you a depth of perspective. The word "surprisingly" is key, because you're constantly surprised at how applicable seemingly distant knowledge turns out to be.

    Love the fact that you acknowledge luck as factor in your success (multiple times), not to diminish the importance of hard work of course. So few people even mention luck as if it would somehow belittle their intellectural capabilities. Even though everyone knows, for every opportunity we got in life, there were probably 10 other people who worked just as hard (if not harder) and just as qualified and perhaps more deserving as we would be, but somehow the wind was blowing in the right direction for us.

      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."

    This video is amazing ! it gave me a different perspective on goals in life and how it changes over time base on the different jobs you work at. More so, once the pandemic happen a shift happened for everyone and things they had went away. School, Work, Car, College ect. In addition, working at odd jobs just to keep the bills paid and humbling your self to find individuals to help you while you’re struggling helps you understand different people and how they can help you find what you really want in life. Lastly, like you mentioned in the video jobs that you’re not really interested in somehow tied to the job or jobs that interest you by working really hard at learning it and asking God for guidance and understanding for the next chapter in life.

    "One of the best skills to work on in your life is the ability to be self-aware and understand yourself just like coding sports or video games it all comes down to practice the more you work on trying to understand yourself the more you'll be literate in your own emotions and having that understanding of yourself will allow you to make way better decisions" - Joma 2021

      I'll be *that pedantic comment people hate* and point out that: Not everyone is born with the same inclinations, tendencies, intelligence etc. BUT do not mistake "self" with "what I like and don't like" or "how I behave for the last year". You might be depressed, but depression is not "you". There are also periods in life where you may be more open to new things than normally. Explore more, what you put in your brain shapes your personality and character.
      People make the mistake of thinking that their mood, taste, likes and dislikes are immutable throughout their life, and think that what they want to do now will stay the same. What we're fundamentally are is our biological makeup. The fact that this gets shaped through our experience is proof that it's more malleable than you think. And it keeps changing even past your 50's. But you're still yourself.

    Congrats on your success! I always wanted to be a coder but I spent several years teaching myself and was still very basic. I bought books, software etc and just went into construction instead haha. I made alot of money in it, but it takes a toll on your body. Would have much rather been chilling with programmers building sick video games

    Really love the spirit of your videos. Demystifying the whole coding and tech stuff. Everyone is just cooking with water.
