My name is Jake. On June 4th, 2009, I was born. Since then I sadly, have not done much. I did alright in school, got pretty good at soccer, got some cool friends, and that was it. 17 years and that is really it. That has changed. I am learning front end web development, learning to vibecode backend, and building my own start up. I am pushing myself to do more relevant, and less irrelevant.
Recently, I realized my problem. I think they call it "shiny thing" syndrome. I always thought there was something better to do, and if I was not feeling productive or was not learning something new I was not doing the right thing. That left me not putting into practice any relevant skills for a long while.
1. Jesus is the center of my life and nothing comes before him
2. Life is meant to be enjoyed
3. Everyday is a new chance to learn. Not random knowledge, but skills you can seriously implement into your life
4. treat everyone as if you know them well, that way you will be more understanding
5. be happy even when there is no reason to be joyful
6. not knowing what your are doing means you are on the right track, usually
7. You become who you surround yourself with
8. to attain unordinary results, you must do unordinary things
The reason I did not start my journey earlier is because I believed that I had to have everything figured out before I started. I thought that not knowing what to do was bad, but looking back on the past few years with a little more clarity, I now realize, that is what it means to be on precipice of advancement.
