Hi-ya, folks!

Good morning!

Several days ago, we were doing our 16th Day of 100 Days of DevOps. It was going well, until we had to check our work through Kode Kloud’s system.

At that, we hit an error. Sorry folks, from time to time – we will inevitably make mistakes, and errors here and there.

The good thing is that, we do learn a lot from our own mistakes. Yes, my brothers and sisters?

Unfortunately, folks we failed to fully do the 16th Day task. It’s okay – we’ll have to try again. Hopefully, some time soon. If God is willing.

My friends, I had been thinking about doing a restructuring of my own training and study plan.

I’m sorry brother and sisters – I can’t properly do it without making an effort to balance what I still have in my waking hours.

Apart from family, whom I’m not always able to attend to nowadays, sorry, while I have time in my hands due to unemployment – I’m what they call “doubling down” where I can with study.

With a goal to find, and land a job for a well-meaning company of friends. Through, first becoming more equipped, and reaching nearer to readiness required. Okay, folks?

Without studying – I don’t feel I could compete well enough. This is one more driver among other varied reasons. Why we need to keep learning.

Alright, with these things said.

Folks, I’m going to write and attempt doing Kode Kloud academy exercises – for around 3x times a week.

The remaining 2 weekdays, I need to devote to training in a slightly different way.

When weekends come – sorry, but I need to drop training mostly, and come to a rest.

Folks, we all need rest. And time to ourselves, either in recreation or in reflection.

I’ll start implementing this simple rule, I need to set simple rules for myself, otherwise, I can’t become or grow consistent enough. If the rules or guidelines I set for myself, are too complex.

I need to simplify what I can simplify.

Simple for me, means I have a chance of growing enough to become consistent at it, well, over the passage of time.

These are also some of the things I learned from others. What I learn are all from other people. We’re nothing, without all our teachers, mentor(s), family, and coach(es).

Yes, folks?

I share that belief, that no single person – is a self-made person. We constantly need others’ help.

More notably, from our holy Catholic priests, nuns, deacons, and our other brothers and sisters (more spiritually-mature than I will ever be) from the universal (meaning, Catholic) church of our Lord Jesus, the Christ.

And also, from others in our secular world. I learn from books, podcasts, and other what-not. Such as a contemporary book about ancient stoic teachings – viewed in our modern world’s lens. And I have to say, that it’s quite helpful, folks. Insightful, and full of things we can apply in our own lives.

But, be careful too, my friends, first, let us also let what we learn pass through the gates of our Christian faith. Particularly, our compass drawing from Christian Theological traditions, and also, from Holy Scripture.

We need to ask the Holy Spirit of God, to be with us – to guide us, and our minds and hearts.

Friends, we can do this (to ask for this grace from God) – through sincere, fervent, and regular prayers.

Okay, that’s it for now, my dear friends in Christ.

Thank you, and may God bless us all.
