Making good progress with my studio

After getting married for many years, priority has always been given to wife and kids. Recently I finally started to build my own "living space". I have been enjoying it.

Now I just need a boat load of nice posters to turn this to a college dorm room :-)

When I was 25

I packed everything I have into a Ford Taurus and started a journey I completely had no idea how it would pan out. The risk was very high then.

By going through that, I know I can handle challenges.

Meditate

This is a great line: "If you don't have time to meditate for 20 minutes, you need 2 hours".

I have picked up again my habit to meditate.

Great achievements today:
> Meditated
> Getting ready to big holiday

Item to Track:
> Meditation
> Exercise
> Breath
> Family Time
> Kid Education
> Parent Hours/ Sibling Hours

Some memories

At age 9, I did a music performance at some state auditorium, in front of thousands of people. Got invited again a year later to do it again.

At age 11, I won some top prize at state maths competition. Of course, at that time I had no clue it was even a competition. I moved to a different city. Years later, the trophy got sent to my parents :-)

At age 6, I think I got into many troubles by getting to fights and beating up other kids.

Between 9 to 11, I think I finished reading many books offered by state library.

At age 11, after transferring to a new city, I scored perfect score in Maths.

At age 14, I started getting into Fantasy novels. Back to back summers doing nothing but fantasy novels. And playing lots of sports.

At age 16, I became one of the top students in one of the top high schools in the region. Won multiple competitions.

At age 18, I became very much bored by the whole year spending preparing college exams.  I did not do well in college exams but managed to get enough attention to be admitted to one of the top science programs in the country.

Between 18 and 23 I was a lost soul not sure what I would be working on. But I quickly became a sensation on BBS. That was 1996.

At age 23, I started to fully support myself with full scholarship. Started getting heavily into modeling and computers.

At age 25, I decided to study something I was more interested in. So I left my Ph.D program and jumped to some areas that I thought it was interesting :-)

At age 26, I interned at a company and got my first brand new car. It was a Honda Civic. No clues of any Finance & planning. Nobody giving my any advice.

At age 27, I got a few job offers. Of course, that decision completely changed my life.

At age 30, I got married to a lovely person.

Between 32 to 35, I welcomed to beautiful kids to my life.
