A Q&A would be a good way to get me started on an intro:
What's your main life philosophy? I'd say...doing my best in the best way I can in everything that I do, living a life as per the Will of God.
Something I would change about myself more spiritually and emotionally? Being in the moment. It’s easy to become too future-oriented too soon that you miss out on the little things happening now and the people that matter to you. It’s best to have a balance of such.
Introvert or extrovert? Intro.
Favorite pastime as a child? I enjoyed creating dominos from videotapes stacked alongside each other - hitting one end with a ball, and the rest follows. That experience had me considering a career in Physics - the good old days (chuckles.)
Is what you’re doing now what you always wanted to do growing up? If not, then what did you always dream of doing as a child? Apparently not. As a child, I dreamt of being a pilot (as almost every child does), but that was only for two months. Then again, high school showed me that Geography and I were a mismatch. I then wanted to be a doctor, but that also lasted two months; I mean, the sight of blood doesn’t quite sit well with me.
What's your favorite book of all time? The Rising by Ryan D'Agostino. Covering the life of Bill Petit - a man who had it all going well for him in life -, the book teaches about the resilience of the human soul despite the deepest of transgressions faced. Bill faced a life-changing moment that nearly killed him, only for him to resurface as a completely transformed human being trying to make sense of how he strengthened his soul from a crushing ordeal. The Rising is a must-read for all.
I'm proud of how original and authentic I remain in all circumstances. I don't fold to the rest just because, but instead, I can always stay true to myself no matter what.
Favorite movie? Disney Pixar Soul. It made me rethink life.
Favorite artist? Damma Beatz. He's not your typical DJ, but rather one who makes awesome beats without necessarily needing credit. He's one of those DJs mainstream trap fans find underrated, but I think that helps because that's more masterpieces for me. :)
When, to you, is a person ready for marriage? Good question; I recently asked my parents this question. I believe that a couple is ready for matrimony when their values coincide - they shouldn't compromise their own value systems but rather complement each other. I also consider getting their houses in order first, figuring out all other aspects of their lives first - their careers, finances, and other priorities - then marriage is a feasible next option.
What are you most thankful for? The gift of life and just living in it. I'm also grateful for the wins and lessons accomplished in between. The wins reflect how far I've achieved and grown as a person, and the Ls show me my gaps in growth, encouraging me to learn and develop myself more.
What are some hobbies you like to do when you’re alone? I'm one to play Chess and the piano. I'm also reading the latest financial articles on the stock market and the state of the economy and also listening to some motivational and personal development podcasts. Physically, I play a lot of football (what Americans call soccer.)
What's one thing people misunderstand about you? People generally mistake me for a rich person because I can afford most of the stuff I want. Though flattered by that, I'm not rich (yet); I'm just another commoner hustling to get the next dollar. :)
What would your one-sentence biography sound like? Here's my LinkedIn headline: || Founder & CEO, Carerra's Chronicles | Business Analyst @ BNY Mellon | B.A. Mathematics, University of Washington, 2022 | The GOAT of NSBE | Takeoff Institute Fellow, Summer 2022 | Leader, Visionary, Optimist, Son of God. ||
What would you say are you most proud of as well? I'd say that I'm proud of how original and authentic I remain in all circumstances. I don't fold to the rest just because, but instead, I can always stay true to myself no matter what.
Part 2 is coming soon.
