Stop overthinking, start the action!
One of life’s most exhilarating moments is to outsmart others. While they may perceive you as an average person or someone lacking in skills, you are so much more. Show them your true abilities, exceed their expectations, and prove that you are capable of far surpassing their limited perceptions.
“Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. ”
― Coco Chanel
When the grass on the other side is greener, water the grass you’re standing on. When I began my current job in April, not a single person, including myself, had any faith in my abilities. Given the information we received about our tasks being significantly more challenging than anticipated, I found myself rather uncertain. My supervisor, in particular, harbored doubts about my capabilities, while another colleague displayed disrespectful behavior towards me.
However, little did they know. They were unaware of the tremendous progress I had made on my journey. They didn’t know that I dedicated myself to studying programming algorithms diligently each day to enhance my coding skills. Moreover, they were oblivious to the fact that I independently developed an Android app, which even received approval from a senior developer I knew. Furthermore, they remained oblivious to the fact that I had discreetly seized opportunities to interview with major industry players.
And it didn’t take long for them to recognize the substantial improvement in my coding skills.
I was assigned the responsibility of programming several Bash scripts, starting with straightforward and uncomplicated ones. However, as I progressed, the coding mechanisms became increasingly intricate and posed significant challenges.
Nevertheless, I persevered and successfully tackled each task with my innovative technical approach, surpassing my supervisor’s expectations and leaving them astounded. They were completely unaware of how much progress I had made. They had no idea that my coding abilities had surpassed their previous perception of me. The entire experience of the past two months has instilled in me the belief that I am capable of achieving even greater heights.
One of the best moments of life:
You know, one of life’s greatest moments is when you outsmart others. When you initially enter their lives, their best assumption is that you are either an average person or someone with skill levels below average. But you hold secrets—secrets that defy anyone’s imagination. Unmatched, extraordinary skills that surpass the abilities of all others.
And precisely this is what I witnessed over the past few months. Their attitude towards me has undergone a remarkable transformation, and no one speaks to me in the same manner as they did back in early April.
When it comes to bash scripting, my skill in the office is unparalleled for sure.
Last but not least…
When the grass on the other side is greener, water the grass you’re standing on. And always, always, always remember: don’t let what you can’t do hinder you from what you can. Do what you can with the resources available in the present moment. Cease overthinking and commence action. Your circumstances may not transform overnight, but you can undoubtedly make a difference, one step at a time, one day at a time.
