“Life has an astonishing contradictions among the modern worlds where every desire are can be fulfilled as long as resilience and discipline are govern your mind and body.”

The Beginning

It’s much more interesting journey to have in lifetime when the moment you start to take your life more seriously you start to knew that the how is the easiest part of life equation but know the right why its a only way that would reveal all the properties of living in order to make it meaningful which are the hard part of the equation in life.

Sometimes I always go to the cliff and just sit there watching the wave against the rock and hearing the sound of the wave that so constant and I realize that the more distance I am the more I can enjoyed the sensation of being unwind and simply being in that moment where my mental state at best.

I become aware of the noises and aware about which waves that I've heard at the moment rapidly, it is the same feeling and same sensation that I have been experience when I take a first look of my life from far distance(The point I was knew that I have to step back) where I can see my entire life very differently that I used to.

I start to see the wide lenses where I can aware about my past, my current, my future (what’s happening in my entire life) all at once that moving rapidly overtimes. And I start to feel aware about time that passed and simply trying to predict and identify which or which part in my life that makes me who I am today. it’s like having a doppler effect all at once in my life where I can notice everything and aware about the rapid experience that surpassed by the time that boost up my intelligence in which distribute reasoning into the whole other levels.

And I start to observed how can I get here ? and I was realized at that time I wasn't have the control of my whole being(physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually) and just let the flight and fight responses control over my whole decisions and how I proceed my day to day life. and this is the moment where I shift my reality from being confused about my life and to actually making the conscious decision from that point on until now where I start this journey of exploration without limit in this timeline(life) of mine.

I was a lazy person and don’t know where to go in life even sick of learning things all I want to do back in the day just to make trouble over and over again and it’s pretty common actually in my neighborhood. I grew up in the place where people don’t have the proper education in science (Southeast Asia) because it’s so deep in the village where things seems primitive in my opinion and obviously it’s hard to access science culture in my place.

Although by all means I’m very curious about things but the sad thing is no one show me how to use it wisely. furthermore is the issue about being wrong in terms of using my curiosity at best, that being said the most valuable lesson that change my whole life entirely like being reborn into a new person if you like, is learning how to use my curiosity to help myself and eventually to help the worlds even just 1% contribution. That is the way how I found my IKIGAI(Purpose) which is to “DO SOMETHING GREAT”.

A well open minded person that I know used to say this idea that if you want to be open minded person you just have to start to practice with yourself and If you able to be open minded with yourself meaning you are demanding to willing and accept the changes and supply that exchange by embrace it that would makes you grow internally and externally overtimes that is actually you can win every time. it’s an real-time prove that would prepare you to be open minded towards the worlds. and that person who inspire me and very excel in his field as an entrepreneur and as a human being with his idea about makes the world a better place to lives in terms of how to see life with the lenses of lifetime(long game) and not from the lenses where you at right now(short game). the one and only Tom Bilyeu

With that idea in mind I always thought that to be an open minded is like to be different person that are much more superior that I used to be but in fact being open minded is not a behaviors but it’s a mental state in which that would makes you much more open to all possibilities rather than avoiding it like what I used to do, I used to be scared to take a deep look within myself and see it trough the lenses of all my capabilities and opportunities because it always left me with skepticism.

All my insecurities about growth are the only reason why I always rejected all the reality(opinion and perspective of others) that has been captured over my ears and fears. and then the journey of my self discovery is began I start to put myself against the reality against everyone and focusing on what matter to be alive to have a next day to live, and to be able to nourish an opportunity in lifetime which is to learn and grow as a person and as Human, yes! it is the idea of growth mindset.

From that point I believe my talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others) that what makes me grow and driven my core! to have a growth mindset is indeed a blessing that save my whole life within a year of discipline and resilience I can know more about who I really am deep than ever before it’s a feeling of buoyancy in physics where it similar properties in life where I can actually floating against obstacle in life.

That is why I can able to achieve more now with growth mindset than I used too with fixed mindset as a default mechanism(where I believe my talents are innate gifts thereby I don’t believe in learning and growing). it’s so obvious that I was spend to much time and energy worrying about how to looking smart and the results I can’t able to put the good amount quality of my time and energy into learning and practice the skills and learning skills simply get progress going rather being in same place every time. it’s pretty common mistake most people not aware of the differences between being in motion and being in action.

Focus on the target(where I want to go) doesn't take me anywhere, it always block me to access the experience in real-time manner about trial and error properties in the sense of two-dimensional sate for me to actually been able to convey analytics approach on everything in my life-experience based on an multi layer series of reevaluating and moving forward towards the sense of awareness and clarity.

and that attribute is sort of like a Computational complexity theory in computer science if you like that constantly reminds me about everything that matters the most to me at the first place when I take a first step to start this journey of growing and stop dying. If you like it simply define as a System that set you to keep going no matter what!.

Focus on the system that bring me closer to the point I want to go in life, it guide me to make a direction(where I want to go) and micro managing me to that path(how I can get there) evetimes by developing it, that how I can explore the new version of myself that falling in love with science and always want to learn more and more every seconds. I Would explain about what is system In this matter and show you the system that I build in detail on the next one! stick around!

Make it happened

This is how I can fight against reality from that point on is like being into another person in the way that makes me be a person that I want be where I can be able to do something great and make an impact in the world by doing active contribution with all I might with that in mind I always knew that life is not just about pleasure and satisfy my void but life is actually moving towards choices and commitment meaning we all have our part in life in some point if we all can be honest about that to each other every times. we all suffer from something, we all have sacrifices, we all have issues.

But the thing that I always remind myself is I would always have a freedom to chose which problem that I want in life and which sacrifices that I want in life, and I chose the big one “Helping the worlds” or die trying towards that by doing something great. at first my heart would always in tears about how things are in my surrounding when I start to pay more attention. the earth is dying and people get killed, starving, disses are everywhere and importantly we all are the victim and the suspect in that matter and I was too.

Afterwards I start to put myself aside from that pity internally it took a while for me but it was worth it and the journey is began this is the moment how I know about Data Scientist and how it can help a lot of problem in the worlds around me. maybe you all wonder what I mean by that, its allow me personally to understanding the problem within the complexity of it self and playing around within that parameter and in fact this is the new paradigm of science indeed and new approach towards solving problems.

The problem proposition that resonate me at that moment is solving flooding and whether issue on developing country that have poor waste water treatment construction and so many peoples are suffering because of it and a lot of kids cannot attend to school and it’s always makes me cry during the night to know that it is happened in peoples life but I can’t able to do something this is why I get motivated and inspire to start learning machine-learning.

Because machine-learning model and the weather data source using GIS as a workflow to understanding and validation a model within a data environment both real-time and forecast data simply can tell us more about how the earth in 10 year form now and interestingly we can do something about it early on to prevent negative outcome or maybe we could managing those outcome when the time is come. to be able to have that idea in mind already bring joy and hope to me.

If you interested more about Earth Intelligence there’s awesome startup that might pump you up! it call Spire .

At that time I decided to pursuing my study to become a machine-learning engineer and start to put my self towards that direction and changing my entire life to pursuing science. now I’m deeply in love with learning everything’s and always take a deep look in myself and believe that what matters is where I want to go in life but not where I’m at right now in life, my entire being get shifted to be a science junky and trade my wake up hours to learning and practice back and forth and the funny thing is I almost forget that I have a life to live also ill leave this awesome topics for the next one about the balance between Learning - Working - Life back and fort.

it’s true you would probably ending up losing sense of time and space when you in pursuing of something great, suddenly you’re come across realization that this journey is not about you anymore but is about what is mean to be a human; to love and to explore all the impossibilities and dream where we all can be at peace towards everything it’s sound cliché. but I take my risk and chose to have this kind of life rather than let life chose it for me what kind of life that I should live.

it’s so hard at first to learning science when you in developing country which have a low quality of important aspect to support science at the continue basis. but that’s the fun part actually to eliminate the excuses and focused on solving something instead. thanks for great peoples in this century that provide innovation to democratize education quality on the global scale by online learning. it’s just open a lot of door personally for me and yeah all I can do is to giving back by be thankful and pay them back with my innovation!(soon I would publish and showcase some of my projects) and my inspiration!.

If you read this I just want to let you know that you are capable to chose the happy ending in your life doesn't matter how you start but what matter is how it end!. as my idol always said “The limit is just the imagination so go out there and create some magic! -Elon Musk”.

If you consider yourself new to this kind of terms like Machine-Learning ,Artificial intelligence and so on. this video might would give you the cool explanation about all you need!.

I would leave the detail for later about my process and projects on the next one. moreover let’s growing and stop dying we all in this together to Do something great. I have a cool projects coming up to discuss about how we can help the worlds around us with technology and humanity and my current projects that I've been work on is to managing flood with Artificial Intelligence based tools. it’s gonna be so much fun to share it with you all!

last word from me is “Life is short but art is very long as it is. being a mankind is challenging towards choices and exploration, although the more we explore the more indeed we found ahead of infinite exploration against times. but still that makes a whole sense to being alive.” thanks for you time and see you soon!.
