Ben ve Anna Türkçe öğreniyoruz. O, çok zor! Şimdi fazla değil biliyoruz ama yakında çok daha fazla biliyoruz! Türkçe blog yapabilmek iyi olurdu. Belki bir gün!

A beautiful town
Here’s me and the dog on the cliffs above Vernazza. I am very much looking forward to returning to Italy later in the year (it’s becoming a bit of a habit!).

I enjoy mentoring
I’ve just got back home from a day of tutoring. I’m teaching full-stack Javascript development to a local developer, specifically Node and Ember.
I enjoy working with modern Javascript frameworks very much, but I’m rapidly discovering that something I enjoy even more is mentoring someone else who is learning.

It upset me. I feel tired now. I am tired of caring so much what other people think of me, of being so invested in the opinions of those around me. I did not ever intend to care so much about these things but it seems I do anyway.
Right now everybody is forced to be according to the ideas of others. That causes misery and great anguish, and takes all joy and gladness from life. Everybody should be himself and contribute to life according to his way, by creating music, or by creating paintings, or by writing poetry, or by producing better fruit, better crops, making better roads. Everyone should be allowed to have his own potential fulfilled.
