“We’re right in the middle of the Second Golden Age”

The internet makes is possible to have access to unlimited information. Of course we can’t learn everything but we can learn A LOT.
Here are some things I learned from scratch through the internet (mostly youtube1):
  • Web Development
    • React.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, Style Sheets
  • Web Design
    • Webflow
    • Figma
  • Video editing
    • Using final cut pro
  • Getting a job
    • How to write a good resume
    • Cover letter writing
  • A to Z of caring for kittens and cats
  • Motivation + Inspiration to keep going
AND A LOT MORE
We learn from example. By seeing people in their element. By seeing people doing something they love to do

Living in two different worlds

I feel like I’m living in two different world - the online world on social media, youtube or linkedin or X is so open, optimistic, creative, futuristic and values self-education and self development above anything else.
 
And then I’m living in the real physical world - where people are stuck, they’re close-minded, pessimistic about the future. These people are suppressing their natural interests and curiosity and FOR WHAT? For something dreadful like job security.
