Why I Started This Blog

I didn’t start this blog because I think I’m a guru or all knowing wise man…
(I am just a guy in his mid 20s doing masters degree while building a life in Europe).
I started it because people kept asking me the same questions:

“What should I do?”
“What should I learn?”
“Where should I go in life?”

Being in my mid-20s and surrounded by new bachelor students, I noticed a pattern. I’d lived a little longer, seen a bit more, failed a few more times — and naturally, they’d come to me for advice.

So, I tried to help.
I gave honest, harsh, realistic, and applicable advice — the kind of “If I were you…” talk that I wish someone had given me.

Sometimes my answers were sharp and on point.
Sometimes they were messy — depending on my mood, how well I slept, or what I was thinking that day.
But I was there. And I cared.

Over time, I realized something:
I needed a better way to share all this — not random one-off advice, but a structured path to help people find their own direction.


What This Blog Is About

I’m not here to lead everyone to the same path.
We all have different backgrounds, values, and stories.

Instead, I’ll keep it real.
I’ll share what I did wrong, what I learned the hard way, and how you can use those lessons to build your own path — one that feels truly yours.

This blog is for anyone — young or older — who refuses to settle for mediocrity.
Who wants answers.
Who’s ready to work on themselves, become their best version, and bring value to the world — for their family, community, and future generations.


My Life Philosophy

I want a better now and a better future.
We can’t change the past — but we can learn from it.

If something “bad” happens, treat it as a lesson.
If something “good” happens, celebrate it.
But remember: you’ll never know which one it really is until time passes.


The Wake-Up Call

From birth, we’re conditioned to follow a path — shaped by family, society, and religion.
We’re told what to believe, how to live, who to become.
And we accept it blindly because everyone else does.

But we live in a new era — where information is a tap away, where you can fact-check anything in seconds.
That’s power.
Yet it also means the old rules no longer fit.

You can’t live by 1980s advice in 2025.
You can’t buy a house for $200 or expect one degree to set you for life.

The world evolves — you either adapt or get crushed by it.
If you don’t build skills, think independently, and stay relevant, life will get harder.

So question everything.
Your religion, your education, your parents’ expectations, your friends’ opinions.
Ask yourself — is this really what I want?

Do I want to work 40–50 years from 9 to 5, chasing weekends and waiting to “enjoy life” at retirement?

My wake-up call came when I was 19.
Since then, I’ve been unlearning, rebuilding, and designing my own systems.
It wasn’t easy — but it was worth it.

Maybe I’ll share that story in the next post.


What’s Next

This is just the start.
I’ll be sharing:

  • Practical Playbooks for habits, skills, and systems.
  • Reading lists and projects that actually move your life forward.
  • Experiments and reflections on building the best version of yourself.

I’m not sure yet how often I’ll post — probably weekly or twice a week — but if any of this resonates, stick around.

I’m figuring things out too.
