A JILL OF ALL TRADES

I guess our ancestors we're right, although I don't really want to admit it. I like to disagree with stuff like this. It's hard to accept defeat sometimes.

These days I've been struggling with having a lot of interests. I think I always have. So many things to do. So many things I want to do. So many things I wish I could do. It's a plus one whenever I see something I like. I proceed to wish I could do it and most times actually add it to my learning list.

Out of my learning list is the priority list. There was definitely a time I decided to focus on just one thing (i.e., Python) till I mastered it. It sounds easy because why would somebody want to learn a couple of things when they could just stick with one. It's less work to do. I have always struggled to stick to one hobby or activity or whatever.

I have too many interests making it difficult.

I did fail to stick it out till the end with my new companion Python. One was just not enough. I wanted more. And why not??

Just yesterday, I thought to myself and I quote because I wrote it down. "I suddenly get the concept of Jack of all trades, master of none. Jeez. I think I might be a Jill." At that moment, I seemed to not hate it at all. It felt right until I spoke to a friend hours later.

He had more experience in general. Both with life and with Software Engineering. I think I've mentioned it before in one of my posts that he advised me to focus on Python and leave every other thing for now. I did listen. It felt right at that moment, but days passed and I got enticed again.

I felt bad at some point because it was a conversation we've had several times before, but I'd love to commend his patience. He did succeed in proving to me once again, the power of not being a Jill. Monogamy at its best.

Somethings he said, and I quote because I wrote them down. "You have to think of what value you have, and what kind of value you want to have and work towards it", "It's difficult but worth it".

I kept on saying I was slacking because the classes were quite difficult (Classes especially, OOP). I sort of thought to myself whether I wasn't born to like challenges during our conversation, but who was anyways.

Life is also a challenge. Haha :)

I've definitely been beating around the bush all this while. As the title says by the way, this article is about my conflict between choosing to accept to be a Jill of all trades or not.

For now it's a no but who knows what tomorrow holds for me, for you, for us??

365 DAYS OF CODE - DAY 0

DAY 0 THOUGHT PROCESS Day Zero of the 365 days of code highlights my state of mind before the actual start of the program. Yes, it is a program. A program I set for myself to make sure I actually put in the work on a daily. I have tried coding before but have never been quite consistent with it. A friend advised me to try coding daily if I really wanted to be great at it someday. He also stated that it would take a long time and I should be prepared for it. During the same period, I noticed he was on a year's worth streak of chess which made me realize I could also do the same but with coding. I signed up for the 100 days of code course on Udemy and plan on starting my coding journey with Angela Yu and the thousands of students also taking the course. I also drafted my own copy of the pledge, copied and modified from the 100 Days of Python Pledge from the course materials. It is currently pasted on my wall as a constant reminder. Finally, I will also be recording my process here...
