It's been a running theme in my life - this idea of entrepreneurship and changing the world. I would not be lying if I said I had this dream when I was already in primary school. When I was 5 I wanted to be an astronaut, and a friendly caucasian lady said I could, and that I should pursue my dreams.

Guess I forgot the first part, and remembered the latter. I then thought I would have made a good politician - maybe the structures of power could afford me an ability to effect change. Soon after I realize there were events called elections that led to the loss of power.

Then I realize that money would be powerful as a tool to change the world. Money is the rock that stays. And money is the ammunition for influence. So I sought to be an entrepreneur.

And entrepreneurs were leaders. They understood people, and established teams to work towards a great goal, and changed many lives in the process.

Fast forward 17 years into the future.

I'm still striving for the same goal. I still remember when I was asked what I wanted to be in the future in Sec 1. I said Philanthropist. LOL. I guess I didn't understand the implications of throwing money at a problem back then. But I wanted to earn lots of money so I could give it away to make people's lives better.

So selfless right? Not quite. I don't care about the fame. I just want to make the world a better place because I've tasted some of the pain, some of the discomfort, and as I've grown older, understood the cost of not changing the world on humanity.

I think it stems for a love for one's own race. For living, for life itself. For the Earth and all the things constituent. It's a rebellion against unconsciousness, a rally against the darkness. The pain and the selfishness and ugliness that taints our human condition.

Thank God or whatever entities there may be that behind our shadows we have so much light too. Men like Elon Musk come to redefine the way the entrepreneur can change the world. He has come to be a living example of how changemakers should think, and act. It's so much more than saying "oh we all can make our own small differences." because that's quite dismissive and small minded.

We are capable of so much more. And we should aim for the fucking stars. Ad Astra.

and as the fucking latin speaking romans say: "non est ad astra mollis e terris via" (there is no easy way from the earth to the stars)
But strive we must. And strive I will. It's very simple really, anything else than striving to reach our highest potential is entropy. It is waste, decay, death and all things bad. And I cannot for the life of me fathom an end where I have not given this opportunity and potential a shot.

Which brings me to my second point. Potential. Specifically, human potential. How much do we truly know we can achieve?

How much are we actually capable of achieving?

I am not a good example of human potential because I've not achieved anything too unique. Or anything too outstanding.

What I can say is that I will try.

And how will I try?

All my life I've been fascinated. Fallen in love with how Tony Stark; Elon Musk, technological giants have changed the world through technology.

I have had bad experiences with math when I was young, probably leading me to thinking I suck at it, at a rather subconscious level. Had a strained relationship with it since.

But I am not concerned with my limitations. Self imposed, of all things. I can't be bothered with my limitations. I choose not to be shackled by them.

I point to my model, Elon Musk. Who studied, informally, by himself in an autodidactic frenzy of genius, how to make electric cars, self landing rockets and revolutionize a few industries.

I guess since I'm going to try so hard to revolutionize education, I'm gonna revolutionize the way I learn.

I will start by Mastering that which I hate the most (now); but can provide me a good perspective and grounding for technology and engineering. I will then proceed to learn programming on an informal basis, to prove to myself as a test of what I can do.

I will then use that skillset to fuck shit up. (shit = status quo)

okay guys,

see you for now.
