Principles
I live by these few principles. Note: this list is not complete yet
1. betting on myself: i don't give a shit if every single person i know stops believing in me. As long as I do - I'm good. The day I stop, I'm better off dead.
2. I don't believe in talent: if you have a fully functional body—two hands, two legs, two eyes, two ears, and so on—you can pretty much achieve anything you want. if you still think you're not capable enough - you're just making excuses to feel better about yourself.
3. doing too much: in initial stages when starting off or learning something new as a complete beginner you shouldn’t worry too much about where to begin or what resources to use - you should care more about how much should you be doing and if you’re even doing enough?
4. whatever it takes, get it done: there is no excuse. if you didn’t get the thing done it’s not cause of x,y and z reasons - it’s cause you didn’t want it bad enough and that’s okay but say that with a straight face - don’t lie to me and be like this thing got in the way - no it’s just cause you didn’t want it bad enough that's it.
5. don't tolerate bullshit: this speaks for itself - no matter what you do - do not ever tolerate bullshit from anyone - i value and respect my time more than anything else and if someone doesn’t - i’m don’t give a shit about them.
