When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
To be honest, I don’t remember much when I was five. I can give some vague details about that year in my life; however, not this fact. I remember being cognizant of my surroundings and letting it impact my memory at the age of six.
In my previous job I was working on a computer. It involved working a lot with the programs in Microsoft Office suite (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint). However, 4 years ago, the “pandemic” happened so we were relegated from a in-office position to working from home. (I was one of the last ones to actually stop working in the office.)
It was great having a remote job because I didn’t have to worry about transportation into the office. It was a good experience. But all good things must come to an end. Now it’s onto the next best thing, wherever that might be.
I think faithful is a word that would describe me best. Being consistent and showing up encompasses that trait or quality. It also involves loyalty and honor. I’m not saying these things to toot my own horn.
I have many failings. However , I think showing up and volunteering is trait that I have. In other words I am faithful.
The activities I lose myself in are working out and learning how to program aka coding . With working out I get a sense of accomplishment. I exert my body and make it work. With learning how to program I can take new tasks and convince the computer to perform the way I want it to perform. It’s like a workout for my mind.
Also, I don’t want to forget reading. Reading is so fundamental. There are so many interesting books and magazines out there with new information. It is so exciting to be able to ingest it and fill my mind.
The activities that I lose myself in are working out, learning to code, and reading. I hope that you were able to gain some inspiration from this post.
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
I don’t watch movies or TV shows that often anymore. I wasn’t much of a sitcom or TV show viewer in my earlier years. I had to drum up some tv flicks that I really binged when I was a kid.
These are:
The Goonies
Trading Places
Coming to America
I’ll come back and add to this list if I can think of anymore.
Am I superstitious? No. I don’t necessarily believe in luck (or anti-luck, if that’s a word). However, I do believe that certain routines will help put you in the right mindset, and also within the right opportunity.
