Life rules
1. Never think you are too young to do something great.
Don't waste your youth. Go out and fight right from the beginning. Fight, fight but fight fair. Now is the time to work harder than ever before. Push yourself harder. Find your limits and smash through everything.
Fairness is something you earn with strength.
If you sit around waiting for respect and expect people to play fair with you, that's
not fairness that's charity.
Some of the best advice I ever got in the military:
Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Simple. Boring. And it's saved my life more times than I can count.
- Bear Grills
Only a flower that grows in chaos can bloom vividly enough to become immortal, but a flower raised in a greenhouse is nothing but fragile softness.
Other than that one hint of delicate beauty, it's useless and withers at the slightest touch.
It's not about flowers.
i had this friend back in college; brilliant guy.
he’d spend nights building random games, writing weird algorithms just because he could.
never for grades, never for recognition; just pure obsession with building.
he was the smartest person i knew.
the kind who didn’t even need to try.
everyone knew he was the class topper; but he only had two friends. me and one other guy.
he never went out. never talked to anyone.
just sat in his room, building stuff no one ever saw.
fast forward a few years; he’s at a stable job now, quiet, low profile, doing okay.
but every time i talk to him, i can hear it; that spark he had is gone.
so don’t be that guy.
don’t lock yourself in the room forever.
build; but also show what you build.
talk to people. share your work.
make friends. go to events. collaborate.
engineering is not meant to be a solo act.
if you build alone forever,
the world will never know how good you really are.
