Straightforwardness

You learn being straightforward as you grow older because beating around the bush becomes a waste of time. And you know time is a highly valuable asset that you can’t afford to waste no more. Somehow when we are older we stop caring about what other people think about us and how they look at … Continue reading Straightforwardness →

Only time can tell

We try rushing things, but most things are sort of premeditated. No, it’s not about being religious. I think everything that happens really happens for a reason. When we try forcing something that isn’t meant to be, we simply find out the result earlier and therefore might get disappointed earlier. We often wonder what if… What … Continue reading Only time can tell →

The process of achieving

I like creating long-term goals. I often discuss about them passionately. But what I enjoy the most is the process of figuring out how to get there. Believe it or not, it’s a fun journey when you have the correct mindset; when you understand that no matter how long it might take, you’ll try your best to enjoy it … Continue reading The process of achieving →

Let them talk

Everyone has an opinion. That’s for sure. But that’s not the main point — the point is that you are better off letting them talk, whether it’s about you or not, and entirely focus on yourself because people might be talking about you because you’re doing something good… or maybe you’re doing something really bad or wrong. … Continue reading Let them talk →

Sleepless nights

Always wishing to go to bed earlier, sleep enough and wake up naturally. Never wished to sleep better because it's often been there. We rarely know what we have because we taken them for granted. When will we learn to appreciate and enjoy all we already have and stop wishing for what we don't? Some … Continue reading Sleepless nights →

Make the heart go faster

There’s a great internal sensation about running as fast as a humanly possible, although it doesn’t show up externally. Our faces are often tight, which is a reflection of our brains. But who cares. All I care and want to feel when I’m running at my fastest is how wonderful it‘s to know that my … Continue reading Make the heart go faster →

Experience gives you wings

You could be the fastest athlete, talker, or engineer when it comes to practicality, but faster in practice doesn't always translate to getting the right things done. It only means you're faster. Experience is what often gives you real speed because you learned you don't have to go all out at once only to find … Continue reading Experience gives you wings →

Frustration feeds nothing

Frustration is part of an engineer's day-to-day life. It feeds nothing, but it's still there. Solving problems becomes a daily habit. Thinking from all different edge cases is like second nature. I'm constantly in all of these states. I get frustrated, learn new skills to solve problems, then arrive to the solution. When I get … Continue reading Frustration feeds nothing →

Progress, not perfection

Perfection is for those who rarely get anything completed or published. I read that somewhere. The idea of getting things perfect doesn’t really make complete sense sometimes. I look and strive for progress; it could take me longer, but I know I will get things completed and published — out to the public. When you work for … Continue reading Progress, not perfection →

Switching gears

What’s the first thing you do when you don’t like something? Stay with the problem or find a solution to the problem? Many people might choose the former for being afraid of changes, just because “it’s ok” to stay at the current situation. It doesn’t make sense when you’re not happy your life. Let’s put … Continue reading Switching gears →
