I found this from linkedin and I agree:
Growth in tech is slower than people show online.
And that’s okay.
Sometimes you open social media and it feels like everyone is moving fast.
Someone just started…
and already built 5 projects.
Someone just shared a big win.
Another person just got a job.
And you look at yourself…
Still learning.
Still figuring things out.
Still trying to understand.
It can make you feel like you’re behind.
But here’s the truth…
What you’re seeing is only the highlights.
You don’t see the confusion.
The errors.
The days things didn’t work.
You don’t see the slow days.
The moments of doubt.
The times they felt like giving up.
Real growth is not loud.
It’s quiet.
It’s in the small things:
Understanding one concept today.
Fixing one bug tomorrow.
Trying again the next day.
It may not look like much…
But it’s adding up.
So if your journey feels slow right now…
You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re just growing in real life — not on highlights.
Stay with it.
Because slow growth…
is still growth.

Today I planned a lot… but honestly, most of it didn’t go as I expected, and it really annoyed me 😒
Still, I did what I could. I coded a bit on my phone and also on a desktop for some time… until some random lecturer interrupted 😐
Right now, things are a bit overwhelming,I have an exam next week, a mysterious project due this Saturday, and another assignment on top of that 😭
But yeah… even with all that, I still managed to take a small step today.
And I guess that’s what matters.
Good night❤️

አቤቱ መንገድህን አስተምረኝ፣

I didn’t post yesterday… mostly excuses, but the main reason is I got sick when I came back to the dorm.
I tried to rest but couldn’t, so I ended up watching a movie to distract myself. Around 1–2 AM, I started feeling better and decided to code.
I worked on a To-Do List UI design. Instead of following the tutorial step by step, I just took a screenshot of the design and tried to build it myself. I only checked the tutorial when I got stuck and so far, I’ve only needed it once.
I didn’t finish it yet, but I’ll continue after my exam today. I also plan to work on more small projects like this until I feel comfortable with CSS before moving to JavaScript.
Today should be better,nowhere to go, and hopefully my health is fine again.
Love you. Have a great day ❤

አቤቱ ጌታችን ስምህ በምድር ሁሉ እጅግ ተመሰገነ፣መዝ 8:1-6
ምስጋናህ በሰማዮች ላይ ከፍ ከፍ ብሎአልና።
ከህፃናትና ከሚጠቡ ልጆች አፍ ምስጋናን አዘጋጀህ፣
ስለጠላት፣ጠላትንና ግፈኛን ታጠፋው ዘንድ።
የጣቶችህን ስራ ሰማዮችን አንተ የሰራሃቸውን ጨረቃንና ከዋክብትን እናያለንና።
ታስበው ዘንድ ሰው ምንድነው?ትጎበኘውም ዘንድ የሰው ልጅ ምንድነው?
ከመላእክት ጥቂት አሳነስኸው፤
በክብርና በምስጋና ዘውድ ከለልኸው።
በእጆችህም ስራ ሁሉ ላይ ሾምኸው፤
ሁሉን ከእግሮቹ በታች አስገዛህለት።
Have a nice day✨

Today was a really productive day.
I finished two UI designs (one of them from yesterday), searching that mysterious assignment even though nothing goes right.
Later, I went out for a bit, and on my way back I just walked around… breathing fresh air, watching people at night, and honestly just enjoying the moment. (and yeah… talking to myself sometimes 🤭)
I was also thinking about how this week went and everything that’s been on my mind lately.
Maybe it wasn’t all about coding today, but I feel mentally lighter now and that feels really good.
Good night❤️

I had a great time today. ende እግዚአብሔር feqad, as a class we visited *Tesfa Addis Parents and Children Childhood Cancer Organization* and contributed as we could. We spent time painting, playing with them. Btw it's civics teacher's idea.
The organization supports children(under 16) and parents, especially those who come from kfle hager. They provide meal 5 times for the children and 3 times for the parents, a day. Even though the children are going through pain, we can see the light on their faces. You know there are people who are suffering more than us, እኛ ግን እናማርራለን.
Our teacher always says "what we recieve > what we give ". It doesn't have to be eko a money or property, even simple smile matters. endewm there are some people around us ሠራተኞች , አስተናጋጆች, ዘበኞች, who feel valued when we notice them or speak to them kindly.

Today was a really productive day.
In the morning, I wrote a plan of what I wanted to do, and I managed to complete most of it. There are still a few things left, like a podcast (ofc ወቸው good 🤭) and a dev video suggested by @futurefullstack
I also built another login form UI by myself. There are still some challenges (ያው እንደ አቅሜ 😊), but I’ll try to solve them by tomorrow and learn at least one new thing for sure.
One of my plans was to watch just one episode of a drama I started before… but I ended up watching two 😁
I also went back to some things I didn’t get the chance to continue before, and I promised myself to give them at least 30 minutes a day. I even started an autobiography book again… though I don’t know when I’ll finish it.
Overall, it was a good day. I hope it was the same for you ❤
Have a nice dream 🌙
