Hello, my name is Manuel Gonçalves and I am here to give a bit of a shock to you. If you are like me and have no special talents and no key ability on a certain area, you might as well “git good”, settle to be medium, or give up.
The fastest hurdle
Unfortunately the biggest hurdle I feel I have in life is that I need to “git good” at something, the faster the better. I work as a gardener but I dream sometimes of becoming a successful freelancer web developer. Not bad at both if I might say myself, but I need to continue the journey and not give up once in my life.
This things describe me, they don’t define me
College dropout, few friends, small fixed income and a dwindling health, this things describe me but I feel they don’t define me. Because deep down I feel if I work the hardest I ever worked I will get there.
