My name is Mike and today I 31 years old

I see my self as that guy:

but in real life i more this guy:

---

to be more spesific :

---

but sometimes:

so you may say i more combination of these guys

since I remember my self I was always trying to get my hand on any programming book I could find, the first book that I bought to my self for my 11 birthday was C++ can you imagine this most of the kids will love to get PS or XBOX for their birthday, but I bought my self a book of C++ with the money my parents gave me.

(in that time we had NES and SNES)

Credit Battletoads, *who remember?

since then my bookshelf got bigger and bigger, I never took programming as professional work because I loved it too much and over the years I learned that most of the time(not always) when you got paid for something you love with the time your love and passion just become "WORK", and you not really having fun from that anymore it's just another daily routine.

now I understand that it's called LIFE but hey I was young

I always helped people with their projects most of the time for free

I was one of the few people that were believing that if you give, and not only take you will receive something more.

in my later years I got a job in the hi-tech company and for serval years I worked there, I was working on technology and products that I really passionate about, and with a time even got promoted, in parallelI did many intresting project helped many other people with thier coding, was driving in a really nice car, well overall good life, and I had a goal(a mission) in my life and I was moving toward this mission and this job was A BIG milestone on my way to achieving my mission, I want to do something that going to be part of something big, some software or product don't know yet. but I know that I must leave a big positive mark on this planet as someone.

my friends that had Moving business told me how it's a good business and how they make money and they only need another truck to expand their business in this is why they needed me as a partner, after hearing all the beautiful stories I convenience, even that moving doesn't have anything common with programming, and web developing, and it's clearly not mine.

I quit my job in the HI-tech company and decided to start a business a "Moving company" I bought a second a hand truck, paid for the ads, and all other business requirements I put all my life savings and all my money into this.

FINALLY, MY TIME HAS COME

the moment we all wait and dream working for myself being own boss.

I worked hard and hated my self for years doing something that it's totally not mine I felt like a ghost and lost, without no purpose and the need to achieve something.

yes, I was involved in some major programming projects, websites, apps, and even helped many people develop their cryptocurrencies at that time no information wasn't available on the internet "how to create your coin 101" but I just did it for fun as a hobby and helped people with their code.

for me important is being part of something big.
but this all not my project and not my dreams and not my passion (this all was their dream and their passion.)

AND THEN I GOT SUCKED INTO LIFE

and the resource became my goal

the moving company is not my goal it was just one of the resources to get my goal one of the milestones
and I start to treat as a regular job and put all my attention in this and forgot about my dreams and goals.

this became the goal and the mission of my life, of course, we need to pay the bills but paying bills is not a mission is one of your milestones on your way achieving your goal, and not the mission of your life.

since then it's hard to me to find my self in this world, I felt empty because I doing something that I hate and not something that I love, and it's all because I did it to my self, instead of continuing with my life milestone on my way to achieving my goal, after hearing all the beautiful stories about how great and how much income this business can make I was convenience(at that moment I put stop to my self on my dreams).

SO...

WHY I REGISTERED TO STEEMIT

so since today I 31 years old I decided to look at my life in a different way and to do changes because I could live like this anymore I had enough seeing my projects and dreams stolen and broken because I doing them alone, and being surrounded with wrong people, and Bad choices.
