The thing I understand now more and more is how people think.

How do you normally think?

How do you think on the biggest scale?

There are other forms of thinking but it is “jarring” … not in the best positive ways.

…

Going out into the world and trying to web develop with Al from AMLCSL and Ben lead me to realizing more and more.

I don’t have the skills yet. I don’t have a 4 year comp science degree. I don’t have a Masters or a PhD. I have a 2 year college diploma.

But trying to do it without the full standard schooling was something. I just have my grit, some experience and a drive.

Going out trying to do it taught me many things:

• Over time trying and doing multiple times, each time growing, taught me how deep it is. When I was still in grade school like grade 8, I would go to Business Depot/Staples to look at games and software. I did not think much of it. I thought it was something to do and something too far away from me and my understanding and not to worry about it. That was in 1997 range. Now I see software as the ultimate thing. It is explained to you in some YouTube channels like https://www.youtube.com/@DevToolsMadeSimple. When I was young I thought only certain people could program. But no. It depends on your life, your likes and growth and growth stages.
• Once you understand how deep it is … you appreciate that you have come so far in trying to learn it. It is a whole new world to play and do.

…

There are other ways to think. But it doesn’t really help because it is negative and opposite of what you are trying to feel good and achieve.

Also no one thinks the same at the end of middle-age. People like to define others and state their judgements but it is small minded and not grown.

…

One of the worst thing you can do is not grow your mind in learning stuff like maths and computers. If you don’t you will be stuck for life. You will be in thinking jail which is life jail. What do you do as a middle-aged man once you grown up finally? That is why the West is the best to learn.

…

If you don’t expand your mind to learn. You might get so stuck in life and think negative.

…

At this point in time, I am lucky to have the support of great minds to keep working and understand work. Now work is kind of fun and a new world to explore. But sometimes I would like to do school again. But not really???

…

The more negativity you get in life is disheartening but you have to go on with your life. Then you realize after that what you did made you grow into the new world of programming deeper. That is why you never listen to anyone really and do your own thing because things have to improve and improve normally.

…

Everyone has something to show.
