Be proud, have faith

It was the end of March 2016. I was desperate for a job. I was even ready to go work in McDonald's. Yep, I see that as a complete waste of time and not something that goes on a resume, unless you're applying for the position of a senior at McDonald's itself.

I made it to the Fraunhofer Institute. Ranked 3rd best company to work for in Germany, I am learning and growing every single day. Not just I have grown from an amateur programmer to a full-blown developer, I have also been polishing my workplace manners with some of the best people in the industry.

Started with merely close to 500 Euros and now making almost double of it, I think Fraunhofer has been the best thing to happen to me ever since I came out of that difficult phase of my life. I believe taking (calculated) risks is very important time and again in life. I didn't know what I was getting into, or where this would lead me to. Things have fallen in the right place and now everything is going the way I want them to.

My attempt to understand data mining is not going very well. It's just too broad and a mix of lot many things. In other words, it's kinda boring and fit for people who don't like programming. It helps them make sense of their degree while not actually using much of it.

I have decided to move towards robotics and give this a fair amount of time and effort. I understand that my skills and grasp of the prerequisites is going to be a challenge and requires quick overcoming. I however have never backed down in terms of laboring hard. And that will be the case this time too. After all I am preparing for it a month in advance, doesn't that much about my intentions already.

I maybe 'lost' for a while, but this is temporary, just like every other 'phase' I have been through so far.

Have pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go.

That's the only thing left of my theism.
