Once upon a time, a wise and noble king invited a distinguished guest to his palace for a grand feast. As they enjoyed the beautiful evening in the palace garden, the king’s loyal servant brought a jug of fresh milk to serve the guest.

High above, a fierce battle was taking place between a snake and an eagle. In its struggle, the snake spat venom, which fell directly into the jug of milk. Unaware, the servant poured the milk into a cup and offered it to the guest.

Tragically, moments after drinking the milk, the guest fell lifeless to the ground. The king was devastated and sought to understand who was responsible for the death of his guest.

So, who do you think is responsible?

🔸 The King – for inviting the guest and providing the hospitality?
🔸 The Servant – for serving the milk?
🔸 The Snake – for releasing the venom?
🔸 The Eagle – for causing the snake to release its venom?
🔸 Fate/Circumstances – for the unfortunate series of events?

𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑡 110 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 – 𝐀̶ ̶𝐂̶𝐨̶𝐦̶𝐞̶𝐝̶𝐲̶ ̶𝐨̶𝐟̶ ̶𝐄̶𝐫̶𝐫̶𝐨̶𝐫̶𝐬̶

🎬 Just opened an Upwork account, shelled out $15 (𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝟏𝟕𝟓𝟓 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐫!), and got 150 connects. Applied to four jobs and was chatting with a client when—BAM!—Upwork withdrew my proposals, taking 70 connects. They asked for verification. 📸 So, I took a selfie with my passport. Verified!

Back in action, right? Wrong. Applied to two more jobs, got an interview, and then... 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑑! 😱


Turns out, I had an 𝚘̶𝚕̶𝚍̶ ̶𝚊̶𝚌̶𝚌̶𝚘̶𝚞̶𝚗̶𝚝̶ linked to a domain email I no longer had access to. Upwork asked for my primary school name to recover it (thanks for nothing, memory!). Tried to log in but needed a recovery code sent to my old email.
But here’s the kicker: the old domain was hosted by Yegara Host, and I hadn't renewed it. Talked to yegara HOST, paid for hosting again, recreated the email, got the code, and logged into the old Upwork account just to close it. 🤦‍♂️

After a chat with friends and an appeal, Upwork reopened my account. Yay? Not so fast—they withdrew all my proposals again, costing me 110 connects. 😩

Now, I have 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞-𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭. Oh, and no Rising Talent badge for 90 days even if I verify.

𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑆𝑢𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑦 - "𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬"
I was reading 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 by 𝐽𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝐶𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟, a well-known author. Again, this time I want to convert it into action.

I want to share each chapter's summary, so here is what I found interesting:

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞
1. Outcome Change
2. Process Change
3. Identity Change

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲

• The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become.

• Your identity emerges from your habits. Every action is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

• Becoming the best version of yourself requires continuously editing your beliefs and upgrading and expanding your identity.

• The real reason habits matter is not just because they can yield better results (though they can), but because they can transform your beliefs about yourself.

If you’ve read Atomic Habits and found it impactful, please sℎare your tℎougℎts or comment on wℎat resonated witℎ you.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬?

In one of our project management courses, we discussed success metrics and criteria.One principle that especially caught my attention was known as 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑡's Law: "𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭, 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞."

Our discussions often revealed a common trend: we become so focused on achieving specific metrics that we sometimes lose sight of the overarching goals.

For instance, imagine a school that measures success by the number of students passing standardized tests. Teachers might prioritize test taking strategies over actual learning, leading to a generation skilled in exams but lacking deeper understanding.

Similarly, consider someone aiming to lose weight. If the sole metric of success is a lower number on the scale, they might resort to unhealthy methods like crash diets or even surgery, rather than adopting sustainable, healthy habits.

This got me thinking: How do we measure success in our own lives? Do we focus on the metrics or the meaningful progress towards our goals?

🎯 Here are a few reflective questions for you:

1. 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑎𝑢𝑔𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. How do you strike a balance between achieving measurable success and staying true to your ultimate objectives?

Let's spark a conversation and learn from each other!

Why Winners Choose the Right Game to Play...

Boiling water can soften a potato or harden an egg. This shows that while we can't always control our environment, we can choose our response. As 𝑉𝑖𝑘𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑙 said, "𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬."

You cannot control whether you are a potato or an egg, but you can decide to play a game where it’s better to be hard or soft. Research in psychology suggests that adaptability is key to resilience. The Stoic philosopher 𝐸𝑝𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑠 said, "𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬."

If we find a more favorable environment, we can transform a situation from one where the odds are against us to one where they are in our favor. This aligns with the idea from 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑙 𝐷𝑤𝑒𝑐𝑘'𝑠 work on mindset: b𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬.

Dear All,

Greetings from MoE,

We are excited to inform you about the government's new initiative, "5 Million Ethiopian Coders," launched with the support of partners. This initiative aims to provide free access to ICT-related courses through the Udacity platform, known for its high-quality, in-depth courses in programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and more.

Students and teachers can take advantage of this unique opportunity to enroll in these courses at no cost, which would otherwise be significantly expensive in USD. By participating in this program, our education community can enhance their skills and become highly competitive in the global market. The ultimate goal is not just to complete the courses but to achieve certification from Udacity, which is recognized by international organizations and can greatly enhance career prospects.
To facilitate access, we have prepared step-by-step guidelines and a video tutorial on how to register on the system and enroll in the courses. Please share this valuable information widely within your community through available media channels (email, social media, website, etc.) so that students and teachers can benefit from it, especially during the summer break.
This is a tremendous opportunity for personal and professional growth, and we encourage everyone to take full advantage of it.
This is the video link we prepared, and we have also attached the PDF guidelines:

Meta AI

In the wake of Meta's #GenAI model Llama 3.1 release, which has comparable performance to GPT-4 virtually for free, AI battles have erupted to the next level!

According to reports, #OpenAI may lose $5 billion this year and will run out of funds in 12 months unless it raises extra funding from investors.

OpenAI, the world's most valuable AI startup, allegedly spent $4 billion this year on cloud infrastructure alone and may spend another $3 billion or more on model training, despite the company's yearly sales of roughly $3.4 billion. If this stays the same, it just cannot survive.

As stated by industry practitioners, Meta's open-source Llama 3.1 model not only offers GPT-4 performance for almost free, but it also allows for self-training of smaller, specialized models, adding to the intense AI rivalry. #AI #Llama
