Working outside is pretty hard. No one understands and fit 100% with everyone else.

I know some people working at big companies and they have that massive experience and perfect socialization skills to get along. And they are from Vietnam.

I guess I could do that.

But the real deal is to keep open minded and learning to do things like web development almost solo like a freelancer. That will return the best experience and best growth and rewards.

It is OK just to sit there and drink coffee and learn from YouTube tutorials. I am lucky and have a pretty nice computer setup. I am so lucky.

I guess that is life. It is hard work like this. Nothing is great, great, great. Everything is actually a struggle all day and not really happy. This is because you are no longer in school and need to learn 1000x more by yourself and are trying to fend for yourself.

I am kind of thinking negative about this all. But I should develop the aptitude and mindset to persevere. This could be the best life if you look at it. I am doing technology and reaching. Yes, I guess life is the hard life but very, very rewarding. It is time to change my mindset to work hard and accept to do things solo.

In time, things will get to the next level and I will feel comfortable for a brief 5 minutes LOL!

You only have one life to live. You might as well try to do to get the best rewards for body, mind and spirit.

It is so hard and tiring and pretty stressful at first. Just keep at it and after a few years or more and things will get going. That is what I heard: https://www.youtube.com/@thenocodejourney

It is hard to think all of this. Just take it day-by-day, snippet-by-snippet, line-by-line, then you get a bit everyday.

The great thing people don’t understand about my luck is that I had the great opportunity to work with people like Ben Cybulski and other smarter people. When people negatively label me, I have the once in the lifetime opportunity to show that I had the grateful experience to work with my friends and can think beyond the negative stereotypes. Life is pretty excellent when I can show personally that I improved beyond the negative stereotypes.

I guess that is what people should do. Work in their field and open their mind and spirit to work with cool people like Ben to change how they think and feel. That is all it is in life. I know for a fact I can not do everything alone. No way could I have done the things I have done without cool people like Ben.

If anyone is experiencing negativity from others, just keep working in your field then God will give you the chance to work with the greats like Ben.

The outside world is kind of a joke. 99% people just label. So it is great just to stay home and go on your favorite Discord channel and socialize and work with others.

The more you work with people on your frequency that don’t label and they have a open mind for any type of criticism then you grow and become good and mature. And that is reflected outside once you leave the house.

After a bit of living outside of school, you realize life is actually about work.

At the farthest end, you want to do work that is hard, creative and it is a struggle.

I guess that is life once you finally finish out of school

Life is hard.

You find ways to enjoy it.

You get a nice freshly made hot pizza and ice cold pop once in a while.

This is life if want the best possibly way of living.

I needed to socialize with like minded people from the same background to build a foundation and ground myself. I talked to quite a number of people from my same background working here in Canada and came to these conclusions over the years. If I socialized with not similar people, it would not be the same I think. Different outlooks on life. Different expectations. Different feelings. And people trying to stop others from growing and achieving. I probably won’t arrive at these life changing solutions. But I guess I needed everyone to see the differences to contrast and compare. But you got to watch people carefully.

Lots of independent thinking and living to arrive here.

I think after talking all this, and all the work and experiences, the thing to do is trying to be creative. That normalizes and affects and brings people together. It helps, develops and nourishes the soul and mind. Trying to get to that end goal is what is the good feeling in life.

I guess this is old man talking I am doing …

I remember straight out of university I did not have a brain and could not think like this.

When I was young I was too confused. I was with so many different types of people with 100s of different types of perspectives.

At the end the Western way of living was the way. I think everyone knows that really. They finally get to it in time. I can not live 100% Western as I am Vietnamese. But I aspire to try a bit.

To avoid the casual racism you meet everywhere is to work hard on yourself to learn to a point where you are a creative. That is what I learned in school and in life. Most people just think generally … and that is bad kind of. When you provide an open and broad unique view with you uniqueness, then people will respect you somewhat or not … But you still have to protect yourself from general racist general stereotypes to earn your health and life for yourself.

You have to look out for yourself. You don’t know this really. You are just striving to be important and make something with yourself at the beginning, then it flourishes and develops to an unique view. Then you have it. I developed products with my team of friends and it was unique and served a good purpose. I did not know it at first or while doing it but you just keep cruising.
