I found the email and tried logging in. It prompted me to upgrade. However there was no secret and public key shown. I upgraded and got the email.
But now I don't know how to login as I never copied the secret key.
I met her 12 years ago when I was in college. She was my neighbor:)
After 2 years of friendship we became a couple.
How did I know? She always kept me in check! I get anxious easily and she always finds a way to keep us calm and stay positive. She is also rock solid when faced with a difficult situation. We complement each other.
We married in 2015 and we have a kid on the way :)
- New job offers me a significant improvement in my standard of living. Twice, it's been the offer to move to a different country. It gives me a chance to experience different places and have better living conditions.
- I stop learning or feel like I am not adding any more value to my role. I start feeling stagnant and worry about future.
I can speak for Ireland. I am from a south asian country and the who process in Ireland has been a breeze.
Visa and permit? Easy. Just go to the office, present the documents and everything comes in post two weeks later.
Register with social welfare? great. Just go there and they set you up. You get a card and setup the account online. Everything else take care of by the employer and revenue departments.
Driving license? Take the written test and 300 euros for the lessons. If you pass, you can drive (with a driver with full license). Take the test 6 months later for full license.
Yes, here and there you do meet someone who tries to give you a hard time. but all in all, a very positive experience.
I have suffered from depression and still have those downer phases every once a year or something.
For me these are what worked:
- Find people who love you and like to be with you unconditionally. People who do not need you to be at your best all the time. For me these are my parents, brothers, my wife and my in laws. All these people are just so happy being with me. When I visit home, I can tell my parents are having the time of their life just having me and all my brothers and the kids together. Its so liberating knowing nobody is expecting me to be the oh-so-perfect programmer or manager or even the perfect son or brother or husband.
Also, 2 of my friends. I only have 2 great friends. But it's amazing when we are together. Too bad we are now in different countries.
- Learn to keep an eye on your emotions. Over-analyzing? Immediately try to reason and convince yourself to just live in the moment.Tell yourself that everything is ok. We came in this world without anything and everything we have including relationships is what we got later.
- Exercise. When you notice that week after week you make tangible improvements like lift more weight, run longer, or simply breather better- it does wonders to how you feel
- Take it easy- Its alright to fail.
- Nature- May be live near some greenery or lake etc. Take a walk in the woods. Just try to spend time with yourself, preferably in some place natural.
Something I must add: Try to build relationships. Good relationships with family and friends really take the edge off the hardships in life. Doesn't have to be 100 facebook friends, just a few solid ones.
I am at work and wrote this quickly. Sorry about grammar/spelling mistakes
Was a software engineer 3 years ago. I am now an engineering manager making pretty good money and having a good work life balance. Also, less cut throat competition and I do not feel being in the rat race all the time.
Any ideas?
