 Test Yourself then Check Yourself




Pushing myself to grow has always been at the heart of my journey through the world of IT, computing, and data analytics. These fields evolve at lightning speed, and I’ve learned that staying still is the fastest way to fall behind. Whether it’s a new programming concept, a data modeling technique, or a tool I’ve never touched before, I’m constantly seeking out ways to stretch my abilities.

But with that drive comes a responsibility to recognize when I’m approaching my limits. The tech world can be intense, and curiosity can quickly turn into overload if I’m not careful. Early on, I realized that challenging myself doesn’t mean pushing to exhaustion—it means being intentional about growth, not reckless.

🙏🙏🙏

One of the biggest influences on how I manage that balance came from an extracurricular course I once took: “Connecting with Yourself on a Spiritual Level.” It might sound far removed from coding or data analytics, but the meditation techniques I learned there have become essential tools for maintaining clarity and resilience.

During that course, I learned how valuable a few moments of quiet reflection can be. When I’m deep in a complex technical problem or exploring a new topic that feels overwhelming, these techniques help me pause, breathe, and reset. Instead of spiraling into frustration, I’m able to return to my learning with a clear mind and renewed focus.

These practices also remind me that growth is not just about accumulating knowledge—it’s about understanding myself. Learning something new in IT or data analytics is energizing, but recognizing when to step back and recharge is equally important. The combination of ambition and self-awareness has helped me build a healthier, more sustainable approach to continuous learning.


♍♍♍✌🙏

In the end, “Test Yourself then Check Yourself” isn’t just a catchy title—it’s a philosophy I’ve come to live by. I push my boundaries, explore new facets of the tech world, and stay curious. But I also check in with myself, making sure that my drive to learn never overshadows my well-being. And in balancing the two, I’ve found a rhythm that keeps me motivated, grounded, and excited for whatever comes next.

A Beginner’s Guide to AI & Machine Learning Terms (No Tech Background Needed!)

By
📶💻💹 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are terms that are used by a lot of people but do you know about the technical nuts and bolts of how they actually work? If you don't that's OK, — I’ve broken down some of the most common terms you might hear in the world of AI/ML into simple explanations anyone can understand. Plus, if you're using Google Colab , there's a built-in AI assistant called Gemini that can help you understand and write code but you need to know the right questions to ask it first.   1. NLP (Natural Language Processing) 🎤🎧 NLP is a branch of AI that helps computers understand and work with human language. Think of it as the technology behind things like chatbots, language translators, and voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. It allows machines to “read” and make sense of text or speech, just like we do. 2. BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) BERT is a special AI model developed by Google that he...

Learn Universal Communication By Learning Esperanto

By
1. Begin with the 16 “rules” of Esperanto and its simple grammar Start by immersing yourself in the concise foundational rules of Esperanto: its phonetic spelling, predictable affixation, and regular verb system make it far easier to grasp than many natural languages. For a clear overview of why Esperanto is easier to learn than typical languages, see Why Learn Esperanto? (Lingolia) which outlines its regularity and simplified grammar. ( esperanto.lingolia.com ) 2. Use a structured online course to build vocabulary and grammar Enroll in a free, guided Esperanto course such as Transparent Language’s Esperanto module (which offers vocabulary lists, interactive exercises and listening tasks) to build a solid grammar and vocabulary foundation. ( Transparent Language ) 3. Complement your lessons with the community platform Lernu! Pair your formal lessons with practice on Lernu! , the free multilingual Esperanto learning site, which offers exercises, multimedia, dictionaries, and a co...
