Thank You 2022

Date: 31 Dec 2022

Welcome to my Digital Garden. This is the place where I share my progress and goals as I walk through my life.

In 2022, I grew a lot. Both physically and mentally. I started going to gym, gained some weight. I got emotionally stronger and started to love myself. My near and dear FD helped me realise what is more important in life. I learned that nothing is more important in life than making yourself a better person. Its still a long way. Most importantly its marathon and not sprint.

I want to take this moment and tell my future self that, I am trying my best to make “Future Me” proud. I have quite a few simple but imporant goals for 2023.

My 2023 Goals

  1. Improve Health

Health should be the first priority. In this past year since I started going to gym, I realised that, If you stay healthy, you stay happy. After gaining some weight and muscles, I got confident. The most important benefit was I started to look much better. People around me started to praise me that I look handsome. They asked me to help them join gym as well. Its best feeling when people start to admire you and your progress.

So in 2023, I want to gain even more weight maybe around 55 to 60 KG.

  1. Improve my English communication skills

This may sound silly goal, as you might say. You are writing in English so you need to improve on skill. Well I can understand and write english in pretty basic way. I am not at all satisfied with my progress in English. When I start to speak in English my mind goes blank. I start to doubt myself which leads to other person think that I am not confident.

So in this year I want to feel confident when I speak in English. I have quite a good knowledge but I fail to share with the world when it comes to share it with English. Improving this skill will open lots of opportunities for me. For starters I can start conversation with native English speakers. I can give talks without having to worry about failing to express in English.

  1. Start some personal projects

As a developer, I should always keep improving my skills. The easier way to do that is building projects, for starters I will start taking inspiration from many Self hosted projects.

The tech stack I want to focus is:

  • Golang
  • Postgres/Mysql
  • AWS

I also plan to get quite a few AWS certificates. I want to build my career in Devops field. So I will explore in depth in this field and will create notes on my learning along the way.

  1. Start with technical writing

A good practice to learn something faster and help us get clear grasp of concepts is writing. I want to create as many technical content as I can. I plan to write daily small learning and pusblish them as miniblogs. The project will be called as TIL by Samyak

  1. Read books

Reading makes us wise. I bought kindle in 2022 with a goal to help me build vocabulary and improve english. I didn’t read much books in 2022, So in 2023 I have goal to read more than 20+ books.

I will share my learning from the book as form of blog posts.

Final goodbye to 2022.

Thank you 2022 for every special moment you gave. I want to thank people around me to believe in me. Last but not least, I wanna thank me, for pushing myself to limits, for having the growth mindset.

Thank You
