Hello everyone!
I am a tiny old lady from Germany, originally from Kazakhstan (yes, the Kazakhstan from the Borat movie
)
My story:
-loved chemistry -> worked as chemical laboratory worker
-realized that physics is even better than chemistry -> quit job, got phd in physics
-hated physics -> back to job (engineer in automotive industry... some lovely people there, the "chain of screaming" is real)
-realized I became the person whose only wish is to buy a house (I used to laugh about such people)
-quit job to become an entrepreneur (1 year ago)
-got frightened and gave lectures at a university = stupid decision made out of fear = huge time waste, leading nowhere
-stopped the lectures -> now finally concentrating on the real reason why I quit my job
(and I love physics again
)
My current goal: programming a browser application that simulates something (kind of pre-design-tool for a certain handcraft). Thanks to @Fox ‘s thread I discovered Codecademy and completed some courses there. Now I am learning JavaScript in a great book (at least I could get nice free ebooks at the university library
).
I am also writing a science fiction novel, but it is an incredibly hard work and I just passed the 5000 words mark. But I am still astonished about my boldness to start with that seriously. @ChickenHawk ‘s thread is helping a lot with motivation regarding writing! Thank you so much!
In May this year I discovered TMF and since June I am studying this forum‘s threads. Also I am currently reading Unscripted . Thank you @MJ DeMarco for your precious work! I told my husband, that for Christmas I only wish an INSIDERS subscription, so waiting for his present
.
My current problem is: I should work faster and more efficient and often I am angry with myself for my slow progress. Adapting to my completely new situation takes time and patience and I have to remind myself of that every time I feel bad about my performance. Anyway I see constant improvement in my focus and motivation, so I am optimistic. I use a kaizen-list, that has the heading: "pain of discipline or pain of regret" (from Unscripted /Rohn), to remind myself of my choice.
I wish you all (and me ) success!
