this is my first blog post. i was inspired by Aayush Garg to do this.
i feel like these last 3 years since I came to texas a&m have been incredibly transformative. a lot of ups and downs for sure with a lot of lessons. at the same time i feel like i should let it be known that i dont feel like im special or something. my problems and lessons are no more important than anyone elses. i was blessed with being able to grow up in the suburbs of dallas in a comfy two parent home and think that a lot of people dont understand their blessings. of course to every person their problems are important to them but generally fairly oblivious to the people around them.
im not sure anyone will ever find this or read this. this site was meant to be a personal portfoilio to show my experience and abilities in the realm of computer science and software engineering. im not sure anyone cares but i dont so if someone stumbles upon this that would be cool and maybe theyll take a read or maybe not and thats cool too. im trying to decide what best to start with as im writing this and whether its best to go with a top down or bottom up approach. i think ill talk about habits and what i personally have learned from there and branch into different experiences over time.
i pride myself on my habits. even since high school i was pretty locked in, didnt ever play video games or waste time it was mostly just school, tennis or playing basketball. for whatever reason i couldnt get into video games outside of clash royale or coc. playing a lot of sports as a kid as well as my dad definetly instilled displine which i feel like has been the main reason i am in the position i am. not just career wise, but also health and fitness and financially. if you wanna succeed or have goals you just have to put aside the want to feel good right now and be willing to just work work work. temperary motivation is also not enough because one day youll wake up and not feel like working out but you still have to go because it must be done. it takes roughly 66 days to create a habit. just lock in for 66 days and eventually it all becomes easy.
at some point you just have to realise that what it takes is being quiet and putting in the work every day. no one wakes up thinking how theyre gonna make someone else successful.
