Every programmer develops a set of principles that guide how they work and live. Here are the key values that I follow in my journey, shaping my mindset, decisions and actions both inside and outside the coding world.
🙏 Fear Only God, Nothing Else
The most important principle I hold is to fear nothing and no one except God. This mindset gives me courage and integrity in the face of challenges. It empowers me to take responsibility for my work without fear of judgment or failure.
💭 Learn from Criticism, Not Regret
I do not feel guilt over actions I regret in the past. Instead, I welcome criticism from others as an opportunity to reflect and improve. When someone points out a mistake, I think deeply and try to make amends or adjust my behavior.
I believe every experience moves me closer to perfection and growth.
🌱 No Regrets About Past Choices But Many Dreams for the Future
I have no regrets about things I did or did not do in the past, trusting that only God knows what is truly good or bad for me. However, I have many hopes and dreams for the future and none seem impossible.
I am confident that everything I have lived through will be useful later, just as it has been so far.
🤥 Absolute Honesty with Myself and Others
I never lie about myself or anything else. I avoid exaggeration, whether in praise or criticism. Honesty builds trust and clarity in both personal and professional relationships.
🔥 Everything Is Connected: Beware of Fire
I have embraced a principle that if a fire breaks out anywhere, it will eventually harm me too. This means I recognize the interconnectedness of all things and people.
Understanding this connection helps me think carefully about my actions and their ripple effects.
🌍 The Temporary Nature of Life and Its Possessions
Finally and most importantly, I remind myself that everything that binds me to this world is temporary. Knowing this helps me stay grounded and act with humility and purpose.
I try to live every moment with awareness of this truth.
✨ Conclusion
These principles keep me focused, humble and motivated as a programmer and human being. They remind me that growth is continuous and that integrity is the foundation of all success.
