About Me

​

The first time I wrote a code was in high school, and since then I knew that coding is my thing.

 

My passion for coding is my way of helping others and making the world a better place. Having the knowledge of writing code is the same as having the power of controlling a machine that can walk, talk, left objects or even drive through the city on its own.

 

At the same time, I know that in reality beside having passion and dreams there's also goals that come with a clear plan and a set of values to work and live by.

 

So, my goal is to go back home at the end of the day with the feeling of  “I did something for our future or at least I tried.”

Even if I failed, I'm of those people who fail and learn from their  mistakes.

 

Two years ago I read the first self-helping book and since then 90% of the books I have read are of this category. What surprised me the most was that most of these books talked about two basic things but each writer called them in different names. They talked about staying positive, maintaining a healthy mentality, and learn how to cope with the uncertainty we live in.

 

For me staying positive is a great choice, since I believe that I can choose my thought, decide how to feel about certain things especially about failures.

In addition, the best way to deal with the uncertainty is by realizing that it does exists. Therefore, it is easier to take responsibility for the decisions I make.

 

In fact, it's a cycle of effects. If you are willing to take responsibility for your actions and not to blame others around you with the results, you will never have the feeling of regret, which is the interface of all the negative feelings especially failure.

 

What gives me more hope and motivation is knowing that I'm not the only one, there are  more people who have the same perspective and vision of having a better future for us all.

 

Each one of us works towards this future in his different unique way, it could be in typing lines of codes, in planting trees in the burned forest of the amazon or trying to find a cure for a diseases.

I think Elon Musk described it in simple words as he said

​

"I'm not trying to be anyone's savior. I'm just trying to think about the future and not be sad."
