@karo_sowinska
If you'd like to support this channel, or you'd simply like to say 'thanks' for some videos that you'd found useful so far, please feel free to get me a cup of coffee :)
Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/karo...
I wonder whether you've had similar reflections (or whether such issues are exclusive to the individualistic enneagram 4)?
Oh girl, I feel you. You should know, you are an inspiration to some people and I even started my own data engineering projects by being inspired by you. Keep up the good work ☕️
Words like yours definitely make it all worth it for me. Thank you, and keep going with the projects (if doing them is a part of your life vision!) :)
Thank you so much, your videos are very useful and we learn a lot from your videos, thanks!
Please don't quit, you're smart and pretty, and I love listening to you speak.
I'm not quitting! :)
Happy painting everyone.
Your canvas is huge, paint as much as you want, just keep following YOUR colors.
Great message, happy painting to you too! :)
While it might seem this way, the truth is that when the canvas is mostly empty then the limited paint they see defines the image. But the more you paint, the less you notice individual brush strokes. Nothing defines you permanently. You should really look at the life of Benjamin Franklin. He accomplished a lot and was not defined by any one thing but known for it all.
It is true that some things can be covered with fresh paint. Certainly the point is to keep painting the canvas the way you want. That means being proactive with your life, and taking responsibility for your vision.
I can relate so much to this- just keep painting!
I can totally imagine that you'd relate! I will, and happy painting to you as well!
Go for It Karolina!!!
Karolina no one make statements based only on videos. People watch you and find common points in their and your «canvas”, and then just imagine another part of you) And we are watching you, cause there are a lot of common things)
True. For now I don't feel limited, I was worried for the future, if I wanted to be taken 'seriously' in some fields! But... I will not care ;)
Life only have meaning if you choose your own suffering. Good on you miss Karolina.
We are always here to support you a lot. Your videos are really supporting many to learn and innovate. Please continue to do and stick to your passion and interest. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing your reflections.
It's really hard when people label you as something that's not true,
and/or something that you don't what to be labeled as.
Glad to hear you're planning to make more content here on TH-cam. Thank you. = )
Definitely. And it's tragic if you start seeing yourself through such labels, compromising your vision!
Good advice. Ignore those who do not understand your vision.
And proactively do things that get you closer to realising the vision!
You are the painter(and the writer). And your canvas does not have set boundaries. It can be as big as you'd like. It can even be a movie reel, or a book. It can be anything you wish it to be.
Absolutely! We can paint as long as we live!
@@karolinasowinska With that said, Happy International Women's day!
@@farmdve Thank you ;)
Just saw this one after a somewhat long absence Karo. Loved it! Really glad to see you're doing well and that your community keeps growing. Well deserved. 🙌🏼
I'm so glad to see you here again! As you can see, I've been absent for a couple of weeks myself. But I keep going! I hope to see you around! ;)
Some very good advice there, I dont care about what others say about my canvas anymore :) thanks for the reminder.
I'm glad I could be the reminder today ;)
I think, I get what you are going through. At least, I know that I went through a similar phase of not being in control of my life. What had helped me is to rewire my thinking about this. Now if start new things, I approach them in "this will add this and this ability to my skillset" way. If the skill is not relevant now and has doubtful dividends in the future, I don't do it. I hope you can apply this analysis to your youtube and other projects. Cheers!
This is a great way of looking at it, because you are always referring to your vision for guidance!
Painting on a canvas is a great metaphor. I think the need to define who we are and what we do can be very stifling both from other people and ourselves. I've watched a few of your videos now, I admire your authenticity and willingness to also speak about life in general.
Thank you so much for watching some of those more reflective videos of mine, it means a lot to me. Out of curiosity, how did you come across this channel?
@@karolinasowinska you came up as a recommendation recently. I'm a software engineer and a writer and podcaster who writes and talks about life in general so it makes sense that your content would be recommended. I enjoyed your video on the limits of introspection recently and I am watching your videos on the advice of Schopenhauer on the art of winning an argument.
You go girl. Girls like you inpire others to live freely , breaking mental barriers.
I understand that. so. well. I’ve learned that if you care about how the word labels you or what it tells you you should be, you’ll soon find out you’ve been trying to fit in in vain, losing your authenticity and sense of self in the process, while it doesn’t really care or understand or care to understand as much as it seems.
I totally agree. It's so important to make proactive choices which bring your closer to fulfilling your vision of you, rather than giving in to people's vision of you.
I can relate! Some people will not understand you and will want to pigeonhole your vision. You need to find your tribe of people who think similarly to you to realize your goals.
You're very right - it can be confusing to surround yourself with people who have totally different values to yours. You might start doubting yourself!
Hey Karolina, you're amazing ! I have learned a lot about data engineering with you, you are my admiration to continue growing as a person and to get my first job in data field.
I'm so happy to read this, let's grow together! Thanks!
I know following your path is hard but you can do it. I feel very thankful of all your videos. I learned a lot from you. Thank you for your help and patience
One should do it, in order to be able to die in peace! And I'm glad you enjoy watching my videos, thank you! :)
@@karolinasowinska Your videos are so good and you explain everything in detail. Thank you for your help.
What you say is really interesting Karolina. I also feel the same about being labeled, because for me it's the same as being deprived from your right to choose.. And I don't like feeling like I can't choose what I want. And your point about not giving a damn, it's a good one :-)
On another note : I already got a data engineer job, hopefully I will be able to switch to Data Science when I want to 😂
Not giving a damn is the only way forward! :) Good luck with the DE job!
I resonate a lot with what you had to say as a fellow Software Engineer with other passions that don't typically align in the Computer Science realm. Thank You for sharing your feelings, You're not alone to have felt that way. I think a lot of us tend to at points, part of what drew me to your channel is your different approach to content creation. I also run a TH-cam Podcast channel, so I'm always being mindful of the canvases I decide to show the world. You have a great channel here I'm glad you found some TH-cam success hopefully you continue to find new ways of being fulfilled by it.
I'm happy to hear from a person who experiences similar feelings! I'll be sure to check out your podcast! Thanks for your kind words!
@@karolinasowinska You're Welcome! Here's the channel to my podcast, its about reviewing Rap Music which may or may not be your thing but nonetheless I appreciate the love!
@@raproulette9023 I've just checked it out. It's got a great vibe, I hope you'll carry on creating more videos!
Please don't quit!
I'm not! :)
I've just started a job in Data Engineering. Whilst I'm really excited for what is to come, I see my potential canvas being much more broad than that. Thanks for sharing where you're at, such an interesting perspective and I'll definitely be thinking about it going forward.
Just say sincerely in your CV what you're intended to, and you'll find the way, I'm sure. Teams definitely take that into account.
Honestly definitely pays off! :)
Ms. Karolina, TH-cam is one of my favorite ways of LEARNING new things! You've already helped me to determine that I want to be a Machine Learning Engineer, not a Data Engineer. You SAVED ME from soooooo much MONEY, time, effort and GRIEF.
I love to watch stories about history and other subjects I have NO experience with.
Watching TH-cam I've learned about Motor Controls, advanced mathematics, history, etc.
You're as smart as you are lovely, so it's a pleasure and INFORMATIVE to watch your videos. I hope your keep it up! Thank you for your hard work putting these videos together.
Thank you for this comment, it's my immense pleasure to show someone my perspective and perhaps help someone along their way to becoming who they want to be! TH-cam definitely is a great platform for learning!
this makes so much sence! i really love it. i feel like I'm squeezing myself into boxes, just to tell people that I have a box, and so I can be proud of the fact that I'm in a box. but the truth is that I don't really want a box. i just want to flow. but I'm still figuring out how to do that.
Thank you so much for your philosophy and explanation. This is so refreshing! Your painting analogy is exactly why I stopped posting my art on Instagram because that does not feel like it is completely representative of my identity-- basically taking a break and figuring out how to approach this dilemma too. I'd like to hear your thoughts too on the intersection of individualism and collective.
Interesting, I'm glad to see that someone is experiencing the exact same "dilemma" (although, of course, I'd wish none of us did!). At the risk of sounding cheesy, I think what helps is contemplating your death. Trying to imagine what canvas, what kind of life will make you die in peace without feeling bitter resentment and regret.
I think the topic of individualism vs collective is very interesting, and I'll definitely try to add my 2 cents in the future videos! Thanks!
@@karolinasowinska I appreciate your thoughtful feedback and that emphasis on imagining one's life on their deathbed-- that's so grounding.
Thank you for this video. I'm glad to find you in 2021 and see you keeping going - great content!
The fact that the world tries to label us based on the info it gets feels to me very awesome. Basically, it's telling you what are the rules of life and the steps you must do to become whatever you want to.
Like this kind of videos 🎉
Thanks so much for this comment, knowing that what I say is reletable motivates me to keep making similar videos!
I usually do not post comments, but I think I should do it this time. I am a recent Ph.D. in computer science from México. When people read my resume, they usually say something like: 'what a mess have you done with your life.'
I have worked in logistics, I have been a professor, I have been a researcher... I have lived in 13 different cities. But I am more than that, I am also a runner (I enjoy running marathons), and I am also a poet and a writer.
I have so many interests, so I hate to be described with a single word (engineer, researcher, runner, or writer). I am a human, and my life is a beautiful mess that no one understands but me.
In the book The Idiot, Dostoievski distinguishes between practical and original people (something I recall from your canvas analogy). The narrator of the story asserts that a practical man is one who lacks originality or initiative. As a result, it is much more prestigious to be a stable worker than an inventor or a genius, for being a stable worker is a sign of successful and quiet life.
Most of my Ph.D. thesis was related to combinatorial optimization and data science. Now, I am on the path of learning the technical aspects of data engineering (after four years of theoretical science, I want to get involved in practical applications). Your channel has been helping me a lot. I encourage you to keep with your channel as long as you enjoy it.
Greetings from México, Felipe de la Rosa Rivera.
Hi there Felipe, thanks so much for your comment (it means even more to me, given that you don't typically coment on yt!) I can completely relate to what you're saying. I don't know if you're familiar with the personalty typology called MBTI, but what you said seems to me like a distinction between intuitive types (who spend more time juggling concepts, ideas, and thinking about the future) vs sensing types (who focus on the surroundings, the tangible, and the "real" things). I actually haven't read The Idiot, but I love Dostoyevsky, so the book lands on my list! All the best to you, and I hope I'll see you around here!
Hi Karolina, I just saw this video as a first of you. (Popped up in my recommended)
And I totally agree with the Painting analogy and as you said it's not other peoples job to see your finished painting. But I disagree with the fear of putting down a brushstroke. Sometimes you show people work that you are currently on or share your Ideas and they just won't get it. And they might even say don't do it, because of there own experiences with you. But you wan't to have that red spot in your painting because it adds some texture to it. Then do it. Like in a painting life happens and nobody will stop it. But you are the one who decides how many white spaces to fill. So in my opinion but down as much brushstrokes planned or unplanned, but never be scared of putting strokes on your canvas, because then in the end your piece will have empty spaces. And the worst part would be to have an unfinished painting when looking back.
That's just my opinion which I hope you get something out of it even if it's a, that's just dumb to think like that. :)
I definitely agree with you - one should not be afraid to put brushstrokes on the canvas. Like you said, people might not get the full picture yet. But most importantly, in my opinion, one should paint according to one's vision, and not feel constraint by what's been painted so far! :)
I really liked this video and the painting metaphor for life!
Thank you Aduś, that means a lot to me! ❤
I feel you exactly! More power to you!
Thanks! I'm glad you can relate to what I said!
Ignore and overcome!
I'm 35 chef, at the beginning of a career change to IT. Moved to part_time and joined Uni this year. Some people around you don't want you to better yourself because that reminds them of their own failures and that makes them uncomfortable projecting it on you in the form of Judgements. They are trying to push you back in your place so they can keep feeling comfortable. These people are selfish, the best way to deal with them is to ignore and outperform them. They will talk, you just ignore and keep working, over time you will end up in a far better position in every way than them and they will have nothing left to talk about.
I applaud you for switching careers. I hope you'll find programming fulfilling! And I agree - caring about public image/persona we show to people can be dangerous and lead us to disappointments
I get it. I want to get a phd in economics....but I don't want to be an economist. I just like economics but professionally I want to build things. I've been learning data engineering and I could also see myself as data scientist/analyst. But right now in the field I want to go into (health) there is so much more important work to be done in engineering and laying that foundation down in terms of data interoperability. I think learning how to communicate and storytelling will allow you to craft different messages and allow others to see your canvas a bit better and make sure they don't put too many limitations in your path as you move forward. For me, I one of my first steps to build some wealth through property to allow me the intellectual and financial freedom to paint whatever canvas I choose down the road.
That's a great perspective, I actually have similar plans for myself. Like you said, when you have the freedom, you can pursue whatever piques your interest (e.g. Economics in your case), which is the most beautiful thing about financal freedom.
“The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.”- Carl Jung
Keep telling the world who you are no matter the previous occupational activities. Often stating in the summary how you see yourself helps.
This quote is extremely relevant! Thanks for bringing it up, and thanks for your comment!
Hi Karolina, I'm too , like other, inspired me to get the skills for data engineering, but It never occurred the thing about labels: Like a saying in México, que te valga madre, or, don't give a f.ck, you do what you like to do and let the world got on fire. if you want to create other content type in your youtube channel, just do it, be happy with the things you do.
Cheers.
I'm going to borrow this saying in Spanish, write it on a sticker note and pin it to my board ;) Thanks!
Stunning metaphor with people thinking you're a landscape artist!!! I had to straight up tell people a few times in interviews "My résumé shows what I *have* done, not what I *can* do..." That feels like it should be obvious, but clearly is not widely understood, especially by people who've been in their careers a while.
i recently follow your youtube videos and its very great please keep going and post more videos
Eventually I have found someone who thinks absolutly the same way as I do... My thoughts are your thoughts...
Good to hear from another data person on this sort of subject! I agree with your conclusion about practicing acceptance of what others think of you. Also, appreciate the little microphone review at the end hah
Exactly, practicing acceptance and exercising your own vision of yourself! Haha I'm glad you enjoyed the review :D
Exactly you chose a path persons believe your whole personality and life is what you did when you actually like doing many things or want to switch, my advice just do anything you want and experience as many paths as possible as that the most euphoric way to live. If you will paint your canvas in the forest free from others and stop caring how others rate you they'll judge you either way. Unless you really want to specialize still don't care when others rate you and just work on your craft to the best of your ability.
I totally agree with you. Your canvas belongs to you!
I felt exactly the same, having a PhD in aeronautical engineering and carbon fibre. But I want to be a leader, and a data scientist. There's a huge stigma with PhD s.
I'm glad that you can relate, and I hope that regardless of the stigma, you're working towards your vision!
I don't know if it was intentional but your analogy about the canvas is essentially the same metaphor as the Picture of Dorian Gray. That story was about a man degrading his soul in the name of immediate, hedonistic desire (and in a sense, what you're talking about here regarding life planning). Thought that was interesting.
Also, I know you haven't been on YT in a long time now, but I just wanted to say you were a HUGE part of my reason to move directly into Data Engineering. Previously I thought a creative type who isn't a fan of routine etc wouldn't be a great fit....but you single-handedly changed my outlook with your awesome personality.
Hope you make a glorious return!
Do what you want girl. I really want to thank you, as I learnt Airflow from you.
I'm glad I could help with Airflow! And I will surely do everything not let anyone paint on my canvas! The first step is being proactive with your life :)
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH.. DID 1 YEAR OF DATA ENGINEERING BUT MY PASSION IS MACHINE LEARNING
Yeah, that's unfortunately quite typical, because data engineering is often not perceived as the business-generating function (whereas ML is).
@@karolinasowinska Could you please add your linkedIn to the video description?
@@samparkpradhan8849 I only use Instagram for outside-of-YT communication with the audience for now!
Very good and very mature advice. What you did in your past "labels you" and somehow limits your future. Imagine when you are 45 and with 20 years of experience in a particular field: is almost impossible to change.
I've just helped one CPP Dev to follow their passion and become Junior Data Scientist in my company. Great video as always. Cheers
That's amazing, I'm sure they'll repay you in their work ethic, if they're passionate about the subject!
@@karolinasowinska Will see but I have a good filling about them. Fingers crossed :)
This was an interesting take. I'm making the presumption that the "canvas" is tied to the concept of identity, which is something I've been struggling lately to conceptualize in philosophy. I also presume that this identity is scoped more into a "professional identity" rather than a personal one, but these are my takes from the video so I may be wrong. As a developer/data-scientist myself who's side-company is a completely different industry, I've found that different professional groups naturally classify me one way or another, and friends who I don't talk to about work much even still classify me as if I was still a builder like I was for a few years.
However I've noticed that I see myself completely differently, and have found that human nature's natural inclination to classify and label people and things into group is something I've used to my professional advantage while jobhunting. Especially for those of us who work more hands-on in tech, I think that everything I've done OUTSIDE of data science and software development is relatable TO data science and software development. Talking to job-hunting bootcamp grads really opened my eyes to this. Depending on my professional goals and situation, I just alter one of my past experiences as my central goal and relate other experiences to that. For example I can relate ETL architecture to real-life architecture or relate training an object-detection model to training sheep-dogs... or vice versa.
Think about it like a project with a central file, lets say canvas.py. Canvas.py executes a function called `def paint(situation):` which pulls data from different files. For you these files might be youtuber.gpkg, data_science.kml, software_dev.json, data_engineer.yaml, or whatever other experience you have that might affect that painting. All you have to do is play with that "paint" function to render data from those files in different orders depending on that "situation" argument. By doing that, you define your own canvas to suit other peoples' need to classify you in a way that suits your own professional goals.
Wish you all the best in narrowing down what kind of painting you want to make and go for it.
I understand what you're saying. You're able to display selected experiences as you please, to show exactly what others will appreciate in a given moment. That makes sense. In my metaphor I meant that if you don't have enough will, or enough vision for yourself, you won't know which way to go (or you won't know that you can run def paint(situation)). That's why it is so important to have that proactive approach which servers your goals!
I understand what u saying. Yes, you should indeed not care about how people classify you one day they will come around when you show your true colours. Just be yourself. Take responsibilty for yourself. I know it's not easy to do but you could explain using the canvas to people who really want to understand u. By the way most western Abstract paintings are not really abstract or if someone want to call them abstract then they really are just abstract to randomness/meaningless.
Exactly, thanks for understanding what I said so well!
I get you! you are an inspiration, and although it would be logical to say don't quit, actually just advice you to do as you feel appropriate. Maybe transition into data science on youtube, guide things the way you would want them! Best wishes!
Thanks! If I transition into data science, I will definitely start making videos on that as well! :)
@@karolinasowinska :) sounds great, but I was actually hinting towards the idea of why waiting for others in your day job? On youtube you could transition whenever you want to whatever you want. You certainly have the knowledge. Of course, this is just an idea and my point of view ;)
@@scienceaddicted3431 Ha, that's true. You're totally right. Proactivity is absoutely key in getting where you want to get in life!
So, I am pretty convinced someone of your colleagues said that you are a youtuber nor a true scientist/engineer and you decided to quit. Karolina keep doing good job!
No one did yet, as I wasn't telling people about this channel, but I was definitely afraid of such comments!
@@karolinasowinska I work as a Data Engineer and I do have a similar issue. It gets on my nerves when they say "you are not a dev, but you are not a data scientist too". This literally freaks me out! As I see these situations, if someone doesnt like you, he will find something else anyways even you try to do his favors.
To my mind, if you have time for this, keep youtubing and your canvas will be fine. Have a nice day!
@@giorgostsilivis6771 You're right! And likewise, have a nice day! :)
Great video and message ✌🏽
Thank you! It's very nice to see you here! :)
Hi Karolina, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for every video about data engineering and for this reflections. Now, I follow you on instagram and i will send you a kofi
Regards from Mexico City
My pleasure, I love spreading my thoughts. Thank you! :)
I adore your videos. Please continue on.
A moment of a Grace. Hopefully it will bring great fruits.
Best wishes for you👌
Also maybe I'm wrong but this mentality is more prevalent in Slavic countries? But it's a classic fear of the future / fear of being judged (shame), fear of being trapped etc. Personally, meditation and reading Osho (years ago) helped me quite a lot not to really care about all that. (At least not to a degree it would make me doubt myself or sabotage my plans.)
I think many people, regardless of geography, fall prey to passivity, self-victimisation and rationalizing poor choices. I definitely agree that meditation can help to notice harmful thoughts before they start to affect us, so that we can stay in control!
I don't think anyone can see the canvas clearly, just an abstraction that fits their own experiences, fears, and mental patterns. It is good to accept criticism with skepticism because nobody knows the whole story. Our work of art is never complete it just takes shape and all shapes are beautiful because they mean something to us and to those with whom we share them.
I think that's a very good way of putting it. Our paintings, just like the real ones, are always left to interpretation.
Please don't leave us Karolina :(
I'm not! :)
@@karolinasowinska Yeah I know, I was just too much scared when I saw the title of video :P
Don’t quit....if you quit, how will I then watch your vids and send you good wishes?
I'm not quitting! :) Btw, I'm super happy for you that you managed to quit your job that was making you stressed and unhappy, like you mentioned in the other comment!
@@karolinasowinska thanks. yeah....now it’s time for a new job with better 💰 pay.
I thought I might be interested in data engineering and data science but for some reason now I want to be a painter.
I'll just listen to my own advice, and i will not give a damn,
Hey can i like this video at least twice? haha
Look, you really make an impact, i learn new thing here, not only about data or software engineering.
I label you as someone who happy to share knowledge.
i love the way you explain thing, so i wish you just keep painting as long as you feel its worth it, because i do enjoy your art as it is.
Thanks so much, that really means a lot to me. I will keep painting my canvas so that it reflects my vision more and more every day. And happy painting to you too :)
I love women who refuse to be pigeonholed. People who think you are either one thing or another are just too limited in their view.
If you're looking for inspiration, Simply Nailogical might be up your alley. She works as a crime stats analysts in addition to making fun (usually nail related) youtube videos.
Oh, interesting, I've never heard of her. Thanks, I'll check her videos out :)
TH-camr forever? We don't know if it still be a TH-cam in the near future :) or it will become a platform for the "old" people like some other platforms are called today )
Haha! Hopefully not! Anyway, I rather meant that people may remember you as someone. "Forever a youtuber" in their minds :)
Have you seen "Singin' in the Rain"? Those issues with the mic have been going back a *long* time!
I think the biggest obstacle in PewDePie becoming a president of USA would be the fact that he's Swedish :D
Cool video, as always. I agree with the "don't care, imma paint my canvas my way" attitude
I overlooked that little fact 😆
I think you got carried away
But do what you want to do for peace
Oh, I'm just getting started! ;)
Thanks! I get a lot of from your video.
My pleasure! :)
Regarding Pew, no, since he's not born there... but I get your point.
انت لديك كل الامكانيات و كل الكرزما لتكوني youtuber .
قد يكون رأي ناس متناقد و لديهم حق النقد حول واجهتك
و لكن اذا كان الهدف المال او التعليم او الشهرة فان الامر واحد
لديك متابعين هو من يدعمونك و ينتظرون فيديوهاتك لهذا
انصحك بان تنسي الشخصياتك و تصنعي شخصية جديدة
انا احبك و احب تقديمك 😊😊😊😊
7:30 ASMRlina Sowinska 😁
Haha quite a painful one in this instance! :D
DON'T 😭
I'm not! :)
In my experience, when they pigeonhole you at a job interview, what they're doing is just finding an excuse. Sometimes they already have the candidate that they're "looking for". That candidate might be a friend or a relative. Pigeonholing is an easy way to find a credible excuse to reject a competitive candidate that might have otherwise got the job. In a way, it's a compliment, as it means that they couldn't find anything that it's truly wrong with your CV or your interview. Also, if they're truly pigeonholing you, you might want to think twice if you really want to work for that person/company. A work environment like that obviously doesn't offer much in terms of exploration and/or professional development.
That's a very inspired video
I'm glad you think so! What thoughts did it inspire in you?
Oh, just start a data science blog! 😋
Ha, could do that indeed! Or make more DS videos :)
Sometimes, people only see the past
Unfortunately, that can be true!
I'm often asked in a job interview, "why do you want to work here"?
That's a SETUP to put you in your place; your pigeon hole!
I'm older and I know how to FLIP that script: I answer them, "I'm not entirely sure I do want to work for you".
Now we're on an EQUAL setting.
Another question I'm asked a lot is why I have so many jobs.
They're trying to keep me under this label of a "tainted worker"; like my skills have diminished over the years.
That's when I tell them that these jobs tried to PIGEON HOLE me and NEVER used my HIGHER level skills, so I left. Then I'll ask them if they would do the same to me too? 🤔
I'm not very good at saying the BS people want to hear. It's not in my nature to paint rosy pictures for idiots.
I'm still looking for a job after being without one for over a YEAR now. But I'm vowing to never take a job that's so far BELOW my skill level ever again. I'm avoiding the pigeon holes and TOXIC cultures, even if it means I have NO place to roost. The SKY is my limit.
It's good to know your value. I hope you'll find the right place for yourself soon!
:( Nieeee
You can always do Bob Ross like channel :)
Hahaha I do have some brushes, and some oil paints...
02:03 That "you are gonna die" face 😂♥️
Hahaha I clearly don't like being interrupted 😆
I'm awesome with electronics hardware. I've been a professional electrical engineer for over 26 years now. But it's become so BORING to me; NO challenge at all. My only challenge is staying AWAKE at boring meetings 😴.
So I've pursued training and educating myself with INFORMATION theory, machine learning, Matlab, FPGAs. I'm just as EXCELLENT at creating algorithms.
But people looking at my resume just see "hardware engineer" 😖
I'm NEVER building these software people ANOTHER platform ever again!
One day people in this country will ask, where did all the electrical hardware designers go?
A: we got thrown out of jobs for doing it TOO WELL. We write software now!
No please :( we need you !!

Not leaving! ;)
To answer your question about PewdiePie he couldn't become president of the United States because he's not a citizen. The US elected Donald Trump who was a twitter celeb so I don't think being a TH-camr would be disqualifying.
True, you're born with some things on your canvas already!
@@karolinasowinska Very true! Just want to say I found your date engineering project very informative and I gained something from it. Thanks for all of your contributions and I'm confident you will make a successful transition to your next move.
I actually totally disregard the canvas. I have zero interest in it whatsoever.
Interesting, what do you mean by that?
@@karolinasowinska You introduced the canvas by saying that “that’s all people see”. The persona or self-image which you have learned to project outwards. You have your own self-image which you judge yourself based upon and you try to manipulate the image others have of you in their minds. All interactions occur between self-images rather than between human beings unfettered by images. People try to improve their self-image, not recognising that the unworthiness driving their attempts exists only and precisely because of the self-image. You can only paint a beautiful picture when you are supremely unconcerned with all judgement and opinions, acting with pure and uncorrupted motives. I.e. when you disregard yourself and the canvas.
@@blessos That's very well put. It is in human nature to have egoistic motives (over the pure and uncorrputed ones). It takes great discipline and maturity to live your life guided by such cerebral principles.
@@karolinasowinska I’d say that it’s natural to live without egoistic motives, but I know what you mean of course. It is the normal human condition. It would appear that humans are unique in having the capacity to transcend their biological and psychological conditioning. But this is not so much to do with following principles as becoming free from all compulsion, cerebral or otherwise.
Good chatting. 🙃
Mini heart attack !! I believe that you going to close your channel, beautiful analogy about canvas in my case I going to finish with some kind of weird cheap Picasso version, I try to make my own rules but in some cases luck, relationships, life, or market push to another directions.
In my career started like tester then move to software engineer, continue with project manager currently working like BI specialist and trying to run an startup. But in personal life I like video games, ride my motorcycle, collect stupid things, critics politics, study psychology and read tarot . Sometime I thought maybe I’m not doing the right things but really I try to be happy and not fulfil other people expectations about me.
Maybe could be useful to know that in theatre of life we played different "characters" (in personal life, social media, office, family, etc) and no one of them should be define the whole person. "Character" in Spanish is "personaje" and that word came from Latin "persona" that means "mask" and we use different masks depend of the context and really nobody see the real mean of human behind that masks.
I find your channel because I ‘m digging about data topics but I feel your channel is more about share reflexion and creativity, not surprises if tomorrow you jump with an art chapter. Of course if your objective is to grow the channel and live from youtube revenue specialist you must be.
PS: For sure Pewdiepie can't be president of EEUU.......because is Swedish XD.
Thank you for this comment! I definitely agree with the concept of being multiple personas, depending on the role you fulfill in your life. I think that's natural. However, I believe it is also very important to understand where you're going, and why. Because if you live according to your values, fulfilling your vision of yourself, you'll be able to die in peace :)
You are the new Jodi Foster. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Hahaha!
Haha no one ever tells me anything contrary to that, I'm officially a new Jodie!
❤
Think you'll do a video on your views of capitalism and socialism? May make a lot of people assume things about you tho hahaha. Would be interesting nonetheless. I enjoy your vids, please don't quit at least for a while yet. Cheers
Ha, that'd be a good one. I already mentioned it in another video... now there's no way of excusing myself, I definitely need to do it at one point! :)
And let's don't care about the TH-cam label either :)
Yeah, I definitely don't even want to become a president, so why do I care :D
Zelensky could, so and PewDiePie can too ^_^
I quit a good job last week, but I never like it.
Fully support you.
Don't stop dreaming, go forward, don't look back.
Best wishes.
Kudos to you for making that move! What's the path you're going to follow now?
@@karolinasowinska , I used to work as integrated circuit verification engineer (system verilog, C, FPGA, Xcelium etc, you know). But I always loved math much more than physics or electronics. So, I want to try data science or smth around it. I'm remembering all maths now, learning Python, SQL, ML algorithms, trying to improve my English as well and watching your stunning channel of course. This way led me to you. It's awesome!
🤔 I actually think PewDiePie COULD become a President, he's quite popular, and if he says the right things at the right time, he could. Trump did. It would be easier for PewDiePie. People are generally tired and disillusioned by "normal" politicians so they're hungry for something new, even if it's a TH-camr. (Although Joe Rogan probably has a better chance.) Schwarzenegger became a governor too etc.
Ha, perhaps you're right:)
@@karolinasowinska and maybe even a female TH-camr and Data Engineer can become President one day! 😂
hey cute!
I think we are -veeery slowly but surely- on the path to even the playingfield more and more. For me as a man it's ready to say, but I sincerely believe, that soon gender specific views will be a thing of the past and other things like race, place of origin, age etc won't make a difference any more!
Wow ... this went philosophical really fast!
Absolutely... Unfortunately people also impose limitations on themselves (like vicitmising themselves, rationalising poor choices, etc.). What I'm trying to say is - you're the master of your canvas!
I think PewDiePie can become the president.
He definitely does seem to have some advantages!
I hope you keep working on your sistine chapel!
And no, pewdiepie can't become president of the US because he's swedish ;)
I will, I sure will, what's the point of living if I can't work on my masterpiece? :) Haha and you're right, that obvious limitation somehow didn't come to my mind when I was thinking about him!
you are my netflix XD please dont leave you tube in the future :)
bascialy i think that my position is different: i hate people that relate your personality(?) only based on wich job you do, for example, are you a computer scentist? well you are a " nerd", with low friends and you dont spend your free time doing my same shit.
basically poeple should work for their life and not living for work.
so i dont care if you are a data scientist,a psicologyst or a doctor, i should be interested in you, like a human that have emotion, intereset and goal to achive in the future,that s all.
that s why i like your video, not only for data science topics, on youtube ther are so many video about that, but i don t like everyone of them.
ps sorry for my english ;)
ciaoo :)
When you're too dumb to understand 😭
Hah, don't worry, I'm being quite implicit with this whole painting metaphor!
