Why keep a journal? One of the main perks, once an action is not performed will eat away at you morally. You will want to implement it, to be honest with yourself. The second reason is an additional responsibility for the action. There is a goal, some publicity, there is more motivation, you go forward. There is nothing wrong with giving publicity to a small goal. Nowadays a lot of motivational advice is about something else, and I'm forgoing backward. Keeping a journal is one of the best goals.
I never thought I would write any of my thoughts openly in public. Usually when you write such a thing many people may be embarrassed, questions: Why do I need it? What if there will be a lot of hate. In short, a lot of doubts, but not to do. I remember very well one day in my life. I had to pass my thesis work. We had a very scrupulous supervisor, so I had to turn it in okay. When I was in the 6th or 7th grade, I already understood: you shouldn't study well. The grading system today is very different. Knowledge and skill are shown by doing, not by liking, and having a good relationship with the teacher. Unfortunately, many parents don't understand this. The old way of thinking makes them impose their own on the new generation. I didn't really want to upset my parents, so I tried to study normally. I was not fully invested in it, but when it was necessary to pass something or do something, I did not get into a slump. It's like: where have we been?! I finished the 11th grade with a couple of B's, all other C's, just kidding) All other A's. Because I knew where to apply pressure.
My diploma thesis was one of the hardest in my class. I had to make a robot. Yes, yes - a robot from scratch. To be honest, I did not understand why I was given such a job. To be honest, our honors students had much easier jobs. I noticed that every session the teacher gave me serious projects. I would have a complete ROM analysis, and then a fountain. The answer was to make a real fountain. Thanks to my dad, he's a handyman. I had some help with that. But goodbye to the robot. Do you think I made it? Of course, you did. Eventually, it got to the point where they confiscated it from me for exhibition work. Half a year later they called me and asked me to defend the honor of the school at the Robotics Olympiad. Where, of course, after the exhibition, I went straight home and took the robot. But what does this have to do with the diary?
On the day of preparing to defend my work, I received an offer to work on sports radio. At that time there was a very popular forum, I had to promote a couple of vitamin stores and stuff like that. And it all started exactly with the robot. I prepared my work in a very interesting way. Made a preparation from the history of technology, how it came to our times blah blah. Anyway, when I was telling the whole thing, I was offered two very serious jobs, but I turned them down. I knew I had to try my hand at sports. I didn't look like an athlete, but I studied the literature on sports fanatically and I was a fan of iron and everything that had to do with it.
Yes, I started airing on the radio. Later I began to keep a diary on the forum (on one of the top Russian-language forums). And it was at this point I realized: it seems, I will stay in the sport for a long time. At one point I even got a sponsor, I remember the guys who helped me with that. I had a major upheaval in my life: quitting my job, the end of relationships with certain people, all the way up to changing my relationship with my family, and even there are elements of a religious nature. At that point, I decided it was time to move on everywhere, as well as in sports. I decided to start full training for competitions. And you know what happened? I found a coach, he helped me unselfishly, seeing my efforts. I found comrades with whom I was so close, even though they were in another part of the world. And I also found the path that has led me today to the knowledge that has made Academy Invictus, my work Hilma, the list goes on.
But I gave publicity to this case, I kept a diary. I'm not going to lie, there was some heckling. Gave the publicity, be prepared, someone will not like it. But that aspect was very stimulating to me. I came out a few times. Did the best I could at that stage. After that, I gave up on it, because certain moments in life dictated other conditions that I was pursuing. Next, came a change in my approach to training, a coronovirus, awareness of the profession, and the questions: what next? The creation of the school, the operation. I know that a series of events can dictate their terms, but I'm sick of it. I want to go back to the basics, what worked, can work on. So it's time to take all my writing and get back on track...
This is exactly one of the reasons why I started keeping a diary here as well. Some additional nuance, on the way to the goal.
