I came across this video about a year ago by Max Klymenko:

It just hits you in the feels
You do your best
You learn the most
You work the hardest
And still, deep down, a lingering feeling is always there
“You know you will never make it as big being born here”
What do most people do?
Leave here, go somewhere where they can climb twice as fast with half as effort
Is that the solution?
Of course not, if the capable and willing among us get up and leave, the future for all opportunities just goes downhill
For a very long time, I struggled with the question of trying to reach for the highest goalpost
This should not be the goal
We do not exist to maximize success
We exist to serve a purpose
Being the best, being here, might be close to impossible
Aiming high serves a greater vision than a number in your bank account
At the heart of it – I love solving problems for people using tech, it doesn’t get simpler than that.
Some know me as a Product Manager who relentlessly executes, some know me as a mentor who hand holds them to success, some know me as a techhead who won’t stop complaining about ‘that one thing’, and lastly; some know me as that guy who is always experimenting with something new.
As long as its in the realm of tech, I am interested – because my love for tech fuels my passion – sknexus.com – and my profession – saqibtahir.com
