I promised I was going to do this. Many people have asked me to share what helped me become successful in the @alx_africa Software Engineering Program

A thread 🧵

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@TosinOlugbenga Yes, I still do.

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

I Just built an Auth system from scratch in C# and I'm genuinely proud of this. The best part is that I'm not just writing the code, I understand WHY each piece exists and practicing Clean architecture with DTOs, Services & Interfaces from day 1

Q2:

Still taking actions. They will pay off soon

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

This is me in my 30s☺️

[cοcσα @shawtie_e]

Want my 30s to be filled with passport stamps, new beginnings, sweet things, and a career I look forward to every morning

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@BukkyOA I am successful!

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

No amount of hope or prayers can make up for unpreparedness.

Work and Pray is the mantra. So put in the right work, trust in God and you can be sure that at the end, things will fall in place.

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

If you don’t like where you are (“here”), don’t just try to change your actions, change the story driving those actions.

[Oreoluwa Bukola, CFA. @BukkyOA]

The stories you believe are what have gotten you here. If ‘here’ is not where you want to be, change the stories you are telling yourself. Let the new set of stories charge you into the future you want.

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

I'm doing my best to cut down the time I spend on social media by spending it on reading a book instead

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@BukkyOA This is exactly what I needed to hear today

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

I always found myself pondering on the words of @BukkyOA longer than I can imagine. Tell me why I'm always remembering her saying "Your work is the argument. Your Communication is the lawyer. Without the lawyer, the argument loses; anytime I'm about to have a presentation 😂

Q2:

Still taking actions. They will pay off soon

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

No wishful thinking again, I'm locking in on action backed by consistent effort that brings visible results

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@Pejuola_a Thank God I didn't listen to the voice that asked me to quit last year😂

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

There are times you need to have serious conversations with yourself. There are some things people can't tell you except you.

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@iScholarInitia1 I just completed reading this and it completely synthesized all I have learnt about preparing for graduate school so far. This is really a great book worth my time. Thank you @iScholarInitia1

The Goal:

Thinking and building like a Senior Level Engineer

[Oreoluwa Bukola, CFA. @BukkyOA]

The payoff is coming, and it will be massive.

Create a plan.

That’s the first mistake people make – They don’t have a plan.

Get a plan in place.

And don’t waste too much time getting a plan in place while others are acting away.

When you think your plan is sensible, that’s exactly when you have designed it enough.

You will iterate as you go along.

Stick to the plan.

Another mistake people make.

They want results on the same day they kick-start a process.

Once they pull a couple of shifts without getting feedback, they stop.

The work you do not do cannot work on you.

The habits you do not stack cannot create results for you.

So, stick to the plan.

You can tweak your strategy here and there, but stay grounded.

A little bit of everything every day with a little bit more.

Take on the pain and stick to the plan.

Another mistake people make is that they forget that life gives to you based on who you’ve become.

Sticking to the plan is your becoming, and your becoming is the trigger of the results you want.

Make Sense?

Go and be fantastic today.

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@BukkyOA I believe🤲

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@moengajaw5 @BukkyOA Thank you @moengajaw5

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

What I defined as big is what is keeping me small 🤔. I haven't stopped thinking about this since Coach @BukkyOA posted about it. I've watched the video countless times and I'm not stopping until the wisdom in it set me free

[Oluwakemi Omoyeni @cap_keth]

@BukkyOA Being in your community does this for me. I've grown so much in a short time. Thank you Coach @BukkyOA
