    I wrote this video 7 months ago but couldn't overcome the imposter syndrome I felt every time I wanted to sit down in front of the camera and shoot it.. No matter if you're a junior or have 20 year experience, the imposter syndrome is something we all struggle with... Anyway, I hope you like this one.

    Watching this video was truly inspiring.
    Coming from someone who left school and university with not the best grades. I know that the only way i managed to become a technical designer today was by never giving up on my dream to have a job I’m good at, continually learning and reinventing myself as as person. I too agree that putting yourself out there and trying new things will only develop my understanding of the world and in turn allow me to better think outside of the box. Especially when I too, become a solutions architect one day( inshallah) 🙏🏼

    Your point about persistence is so true. You have to reevaluate your approach after every failure because "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" - Einstein.

  • @denic906
    @denic906 Před 2 lety +8

    i would say i agree with everything you said in this videos,except i'm not sure about persistence part,maybe you know better,but without persistence you can try and fail and switch to other things and may get to the point that you havent't found it and time passes fast,also i think persistence one of the necessary things in order to become really good at something.but that is just my humble opinion.Great video

    • @carlosroberto366
      @carlosroberto366 Před 2 lety +3

      I believe he confused persistence with insistence, an insistent person will try the same thing many times expecting different results whereas a persistent one will do what you said, try different approaches to possibly get where he wants to be.

    • @WinTheCloud
      @WinTheCloud  Před 2 lety +6

      I agree with both of you actually. Persistence is important, but the line between persistence and blind ego driven insistence can be blurry sometimes.
      The point I was trying to make is to take a step back from time to time and question one's motives

    • @WinTheCloud
      @WinTheCloud  Před 2 lety

      Taking a step back and rereading our discussion a few months later, I want to add that although persistence is crucial, I believe it should not be the only tool in your toolbox.

    Great video with great life lessons. Personally I don’t think persistence is overrated.
    There are some situations when we should and need to persist but also others when the best decision is to let go.. I think it’s about making the right choice between the two.
    Keep it up 👍

    • @WinTheCloud
      @WinTheCloud  Před 2 lety

      Thank you for your input. I have to agree with you on this. Persistence serve its goal, but it shouldn't be the only tool in your tool belt

    Haha.. this hit the nail for me... I have loved messing with anything and everything since I was a kid so I started by learning, Wood working, Glass working, then became a Chef after two years of leaning everything about food, then learned web development, now I am in Cyber-security watching this video trying to decide if to learn AWS or Azure... Lmao I've been called a lost cause but I find joy in learning and challenging myself to try something else and to have a plane A all the way to Z.

      I believe so as well, there is a quote that I like: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. - Specialization is for insects"

    • @WinTheCloud
      @WinTheCloud  Před 2 lety +3

      I tend to wait for an opportunity to rise before deciding to dive deep into something. But when the opportunity is here, I go all in. Sometimes I stop after learning enough to solve the problem on hand, sometimes, like with Home automation, I will push as far as I can

      Some things you have to always keep in the back of your head like lambda functions timeout, or S3 Storage classes because it's easier that way, other things you Google 🤔
