an incredible roller coaster journey.
6 more months before my 4th Year as a Developer, which also means that this February is a special month for me aside from my birth month, because this February marks the 4th year since I decided to pursue Web Development, my ride or die towards escaping the 9–5 rat race.
“Don’t downgrade your dreams just to fit your reality. Upgrade your conviction to match your destiny.”
The Rat Race
Sick, Exhausted and Uninspired. That was me almost 4 years ago. I always thought that my life was meant to be just that, to survive. At that time I always wondered how others accumulate and achieved success and wealth while having all the freedom in the world, while people like me even when working 10–12hrs a day lives paycheck to paycheck, why?
And then I started reading personal development and finance books like Think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Millionaire’s Mind, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and many more. It got me thinking why on earth my parents didn’t expose me to this new gem I just discovered, trust me it was like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
