I just decided to create another blog, although I have already others, about my own thoughts and about financial education. I have been publishing for a while on the Internet, here on Blogger, Youtube, and on some tech sites. Searching on the Internet, I can still find some old things.
Let's go to the beginning. First of all, let me explain why a blog in English. I need to practice writing (and for sure some errors will appear here). For those out there, I am a native Portuguese human being, that have been studying English for his whole life, including a certification, but without much daily practice on speaking and writing, just for the lack of need. I read and listen in English a lot, as part of my tech studies (maybe my biggest passion).
And explaining some points already mentioned, I worked on tech jobs in the past, mostly on security, unix system administration (Solaris, Linux, OpenBSD and so on), but had a change in my career, shifting gears towards project management, but never letting tech completely forgotten.
As an example, I created years ago a Youtube Channel called "Kanso Tech", and as the name suggests, I published so many videos about tech things, including some unboxes, but not limiting to it, and also contributing with some knowledge on financial, trading, personal thoughts and more.
Some time ago I started asking myself: why not really get back to what makes me feel alive? Everyone that is really close to me can see, without much effort, that I love tech, computers, servers, Linux, security and much more on this world of bits and bytes.
And so I started to search on that. For now, let me share what I got and what I have been learning.
First, I don´t really know about you, but I love to see difficult things being solved. And I love knowing that people can count on me, and I also have so much interest on security. Years ago, even getting close to the work hacker would not be understood and probably criticized.
But things change, and companies started to understand the importance of it. Now we have something called "ethical hacker" and that is my first goal. But why? Money, fame, or the felling to be on top? No! Absolutely not! This goal for me I like returning to breath. I want to do something that I have always been doing, just because I like to. I want to learn and have fun while doing something that makes me feel alive!
Along with that, came back programming language. First Assembly, than C, and now Python. But wait! I started on Assembly (yes, because I wanted), but than put it on wait and focused on C (just beginning also). But now I am putting my efforts on learning Python, on where I have already done some automation. I will for certain comeback to C and Assembly, also as a primer goal on getting knowledge.
What about the money? For now I won´t change anything with hurry. It is not my first goal, but I know that this journey can shift my passions into materials compensation. So many years have passed, and I know that this return is a long run journey.
That is it for today! I hope to inspire you to get back some forgotten passion, that maybe, like me, was let behind, while you were occupied paying bills and doing what must be done.
See you on the next post, and feel free to comment on this post (If possible, in English! Let's help each other).
