You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.
I am a geotechnical engineer with a MSc in Civil Engineering. I'm also an adventurous human being who loves to explore and I love to challenge myself. I like to find my weaknesses and try to overcome them; that is part of the reason why I took up American Football, one of the most violent contact sports in the world; and the major reason for me to pick up programming again. My friends define who I am, and luckily I have been influenced by very motivated friends who keep driving me forward and improving myself; so here I would like to express my gratitude to Tunde, Dubai, Ademola and Adib; without them I would never be the same.
There will always be inspiring stories around you, so it is important to be a good observer. And this is what I do, I observe, and I log it. As Mike Ross once said, "I see it, I remember it, I understand it, and I don't forget it". I might not have his photographic memory, but with words, maybe I will come close.
