Proud To Be Me — A Blueprint for My Life and Well-being
Pride in the positive sense has been a rather popular topic lately, though I will not ponder on the usual association with LGBTQ. People can be proud of their achievements, family, and identity. Identity goes deeper than just your name, your profession and the country you live in. We have many faces. We have experienced vastly different events that have changed our world views. This article was inspired by the story “The older I get, the less tolerant I am of change” by Harmony S on Medium.com.

In reality, AI is much more than self-aware robots that speak to you and give you advice. There are no such machines walking around yet (at least none that we know of).

When nurtured, special interests can blossom into rewarding hobbies or even prospering careers.

What Does It Mean to Be Aware, to Understand and To Accept?. Top Story - May 2022.
Are you aware of this? Awareness implies that you are familiar with the existence of something. It might be a common everyday item, a concept you have heard about at university, or maybe you have come across something while reading your news feed or social media. You might have heard about quantum computing, for example. Unless you are a geek, you probably do not really know what it looks like, where can you find one or how to use it. The tech section at the department store does not offer any yet, and neither do you find it on Amazon. It must be something rare. At least you are aware that there is such kind of invention and that somebody somewhere is using it for something.
