Life goals
What is my life philosophy? I do not know. What am I seeking?
I know I’m no ordinary folk, what I truly want to do is to create things, both physical and intangible (software). I have long history of making, something that is abandoned in last 6-7 years. I spent those years to obtain status and privilege, but I think I am in a good stage of my life to take a year off and build something of myself.
What is my philosophy? I’d love to travel and live around the world. There’s tons I’d love to learn, but that would need time, I think what would love is to become great in a few things and make a good life without actually spending tons of time in it.
I would love to lead a team of great engineers to build something life changing or solve problems but at the moment I don’t have anything up my sleeve.
I think doing a PhD although gave an edge on some topics, made me doll on others. I believe taking a break would allow me to recoup my energy and to push harder and stronger to accomplish greater goals and achieve more ambitious goals.
I’ve always strived for pragmatism, I consider myself a generalist but I’d like to increase the depth on all topics. I used develop decent websites but now I feel overwhelmed with the numerous options and set of tools. I’m actually trying to sort those things out as well but it’s a long process.
I think one my goals is to have a home, a small home and then to be able to travel each time for a few months and live in different cities and be able to always come back home. Probably some variation of this would be interesting.
Do I want to be rich? certainly, crazy rich? not really.
How about fame? nah, maybe among a niche profession, I’d like be respected by people that I respect. My role models, those I learn from and wish to be like them.
Family? Sure.
I’ll keep thinking about this but I think I need to create something that gets into hands of thousands or even millions (have done this once) and be actually profitable. And ideally lead a team to take that idea to the next level. While doing this, I’d like to be relaxed and do my work on my own terms. Be financially independent and earn my freedom.
