It’s Spring Festival today, I just learned that Spring Festival is not the same as lunar new year, as the Chinese calendar follows something called lunisolar calendar.
Well, how do I know that? Just randomly checking online, and this concept just popped up.
Randomly checking? Sure, I mean scrolling the phone, and doing nothing meaningful. Well, how is that? It’s easy – sitting on the sofa, doing nothing, just pulling out the phone, and starting scrolling.
Which websites have I frequented the most in the past month? I would say eBay.
Why eBay? I want to get some old iPhones, or some old iPod.
Well, why?
I want to get something for myself to work on, and the excitement of restoring an old piece of hardware is really great!
So, instead of running and exercising, I am now a technician, restoring old Apple products?
Kind of. But why? Any practical usage after things are restored?
Probably acting as an e-book or music player.
Do you have an e-book?
Yes I do.
Why need more?
Well, just in case, the one I am currently using is broken.
Then why not get a new one if that happens?
Because it might be hard to get the exact same model.
Why the exact same model?
Because I have used it and I know it’s good.
The newer release is also good, and they must be better, in terms of performance, battery life, and other specs.
I am afraid I will not be able to get used to it.
That’s the problem man, imagine in 30 years, there’s no way you can get a working piece of devices you are currently using, which means, along the road somewhere, you have to make a change. If the change is not now, then when? It could be one day, or, today could be day one.
Just like other things I am doing during this phase, I am working on Advent of Code 2024, and trying to implement every question in SQL, well, I was arrogant enough to think that I could do it. The fact is, I could not. There are so many features in SQL, that I am not familiar with, and stop thinking I am THE ONE already, you are not.
There’re tons of people who have the same idea as you, and they have started working on it, and they have finished it!
Look where you are now? Still thinking you are the best, without putting out anything tangible? Without output, you are just thinking you are thinking.
So what should I do? Well, the first step to solve any problem is to admit the problem. Don’t overthink, learn from others, one step at a time. Make it stick, make it real.
If tired, just let it go and have some fun.
Now you have AI tools, have reddit, have all the resources you can ask, why be afraid to ask?
Maybe it’s not afraid to ask, it’s the self-esteem – what self-esteem?
If you make a mistake, admit it.
If you don’t know it, admit it.
If you are not as good as others, admit it.
What harm will it do, by just admitting it? No one cares. Just admit it.
Think about when others turn to you for help, do you loathe that person? Do you help? Do the other person learn?
Yes, they learned! So can you! Get the self-esteem f out, and start to learn, like you never learned in the first place. Ask questions as much as you can, if you run out of questions, ask AI to generate questions for you.
