Failure is growth.

Failure is good. It makes you a stronger person.

Sure it sucks, and it may take a long time to recover from your failures (Little over four years for me), but guess what? You get past them, and as a result you are better off.

I used to allow the fear of failure to control my life, and it's only been recently (last eight or so months) that I have broken free of my cycle of fear and have instead embraced it as an opportunity to do better and to improve myself.

The work that I do right now has a high difficulty learning curve, but in the week and half that I have been doing my new duties I have become more comfortable and accepting of my own ignorance and failings. When I mess up, I no longer dwell on it, instead I move on and learn from it. I basically convert all of my negative energy into positive energy that fuels me through out the day.

Fear no longer controls my life, instead I only focus on the things that I can control, and when things beyond my control happen, I step back and I learn from it.

An open mind, and a willingness to learn have been my greatest keys to success coupled with the fact that I have managed to stay consistently awesome for the past eight months that I have been working have moved me closer to my goals than anything else.

TL; DR Don't be afraid to fail, you'll learn from it and do better. Improve.

I'm using a Mac and I kind of like it...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I updated my blog, so allow me fill you all in on the details as to why I have been persona non grata as of late. Some of it has to do with me being lazy, the other part has to do with my laptop kind of blowing up on me (not really). The power button kept randomly pushing itself in because of a design flaw in the laptop, so there would be times where things were working just fine and then the laptop would just shut off.

I spoke with my Dad about what was happening with my laptop and he  to took the laptop back from me, fixed it, and turn it into a back-up for his laptop. Leaving me with just my smart phone as my only internet device (which really sucks for writing blog posts).

Until recently that is. My Dad fixed up his old iMac and has allowed me to use it for the time being.

Making things like writing this blog easier.

Bellow is a list of things I happen to like about this Mac, check it out.

Here's what I like about it:

• It's no bull shit.
• No really.
• I mean it.

That's right folks, Macs are straight-up legit machines that do not screw around. 

When you start up a Mac you do not have to wait fifteen minutes for all the programs in the background to load before you can do anything else, you just log in and start whatever work you need to get down, and then when you want to shut the machine down, guess what? 

Same thing. 

It shuts down without having to wait another 15 minutes for anything else in the background to shut down. 

Amazing, it's a machine that does what you tell it to do without holding you up with something that has nothing to do with what you are trying to accomplish; which is nice. 

I came to expect those slow downs and head aches from all machine, until I started using this Mac and found out they just do not exist on this machine, which is funny because as of late I have been Windows purist. I'm drinking the kool-aid y'all and it tastes pretty damn good.

Now that I have access to a Mac I think I may actually start playing around with things like programming, because reasons.

TL;DR Macs work.
