Programming / 7 Reasons Why You Will Never Do Anything Amazing With Your Life by thewebcraft(m): 11:14pm On Mar 07, 2016 |
A unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in life. Yeah that’s right; you heard me… I’m talking to you… I’m calling you out. I’m looking you in the eyes, (ok well, not really since you are probably reading this article, but figuratively, I am burning a cyclops type hole in your face right now) and telling you that you don’t stand a chance. I’m telling you that if you can read this article, look through this list and not claim it as your own, then you should be a little worried. Actually, you should be very worried. You should drop everything and immediately question your existence on earth. You should find a mirror, look yourself in the eyes, raise your hand and slap yourself in the face. Got it? Now repeat that until you come to your senses and continue reading whenever you’re ready. I’m Talkin ‘Bout Street Skills! I’m not talking about the: study hard, party light, graduate top-of-your-class skills. I’m not even talking about the: slack-off, skip class, smoke weed, drink and party but still graduate, skill-set your $50,000+ diploma has led you to believe you have. “I’m talking ’bout, step out your door, make some moves, and get-some-shit-done, kind of skills! Some, move out your mama’s house, or mabe quit your job — and then actually go do it, kind of skills”. The kind of skills you develop in the real world, outside the bubble of your parent’s protection or the ideological indoctrination that has overwhelmed our entire educational system. Skills that can be had by anyone willing to pay the price to get them. Skills that are quickly becoming extinct. I’m talking about skills that cannot be taught in a classroom or in a textbook. Skills you can only learn by doing; by learning how to fly after jumping off the cliff. Skills that can only be developed when you find your true self. When you put yourself on the line or otherwise expose yourself to the possibility of failure. The skills you can only develop when you are willing to risk it all in order to do that one amazing thing. Skills that up until now, you thought you had. “Basically, what I am trying to tell you is that, in this game called life, you don’t stand a chance… 1 : Because You Have Not Failed Enough Because you choose not to try. Because it is easier to talk about learning that new (programming?) language as opposed to actually learning it. Because you think everything is too hard or too complicated so you will just “sit this one out”, or maybe you’ll, “do-it-tomorrow”! Because you hate your job but won’t get a new one; because it is easy to reject rejection. Because while you’re sitting around failing to try, I am out there trying to fail, challenging myself, learning new things and failing as fast as possible. Because as I fail, I learn, and then adjust my course to make sure my path is always forward. 2 :: Because You Care What Others Think About You Because you have to fit in. Because you believe that being different is only cool if you’re different in the same way that other people are different. Because you are afraid to embrace your true self for fear of how the world will see you. You think that because you judge others, this means that those people must, in-turn, be judging you. Because you care more about the stuff you have as opposed to the things you’ve done. Because while you’re out spending your money on new outfits, new cars, overpriced meals or nights at the bar, I’ll be investing in myself. And while you try to fit in with the world I’ll make the world fit in with me. Because I will recklessly abandon all insecurities and expose my true self to the world. I will become immune to the impact of your opinion and stand naked in a crowd of ideas; comfortable in knowing that while you married the mundane I explored the exceptional. 3 :: Because You Think You Are Smarter Than You Are Because you did what everyone else did; you studied what they studied and read what they read. Because you learned what you had to learn in order to pass their tests and you think that makes you smart. Because you think learning is only something people do in schools. Because while you were away at college, I was studying life; because instead of learning about the world in a classroom I went out and learned it by living. Because I know more than any piece of paper you could ever frame from a university. Because smart is not what you learn, it’s how you live. Because I might not have a degree but I challenge you to find a topic that I can’t talk to you about cohesively. Because I could pass your tests if I had to, but you couldn’t stand for a single second in the face of the tests that life has thrown me. Tests that are not graded on a bell curve or by percentages; tests that are graded by one simple stipulation: survival! 4 :: Because You Don’t Read Because you read the things you are required to read or nothing at all. Because you think history is boring and philosophy is stupid. Because you would rather sit and watch “E!” or “MTV” instead of exploring something new, instead of diving head first, into the brain of another man in an attempt to better understand the world around you. Because you refuse to acknowledge that all the power in the world comes from the words of those that lived before us. That anything you desire can be had by searching through the multitude of words that are available to us now more abundantly than ever before. Because you are probably not reading this article even though you know you should. Because the people that are reading this already know these things. Because you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. 5 :: Because You Lack Curiosity Because you get your news from copy-cat members of the state-controlled media. Because you are unwilling to ask this simple question… “What if it’s all a lie?”, and accept the possibility that maybe it is; that just maybe, the methods of mass media are under direct orders to: keep you distracted. Because you call me a know-it-all but refuse to call yourself a know-nothing-at-all. Because I thirst for knowledge, regardless the topic. Because while you’re busy playing Candy Crush, or Megalopolis, I am reading about string theory and quantum mechanics. Because while you waste your time with Tosh.o I am learning how to edit video, build websites and design mobile apps. Because if we were to go heads-up in a debate, I would crush you. I would make it a point to defeat my own argument; from every imaginable angle; in order to understand everything, you might be able to use against me. Because I would dedicate myself to understanding both sides of the argument so thoroughly that I could argue your side for you and win; even after having just handed you a defeat in the same debate. 6 :: Because You Don’t Ask Enough Questions Because you do not question authority. Because you don’t question yourself. Because you don’t understand the power of properly placed questioning in life, respectful disagreements and standing up for what you know to be right in the face of someone telling you otherwise. Unable to question reality; stuck in a self-imposed survival strategy within a matrix-style monotony. Because I know that you will give me all the information I need to destroy you by letting you talk. Because I study human behaviors and you ignore everyone but yourself. Because I watch how you say the things you say just as closely as I listen to what you say; and you say way too much!. 7 :: Because You Can’t Handle The Truth Because you refuse to admit that you don’t even know the things you don’t know. Because there isn’t an article online that would make up for all the time you have wasted in life. Because even if I told you everything could be different tomorrow you would wait until then to begin doing anything about it. Because even when you think I’m not, I’m aware of my surroundings. Because you think that since I have not acknowledged you, it means that I have not seen you. Because, you walk around with your head up your ass, oblivious to the world around you. Blissfully ignorant of the reality that sits so close to your face that if you stuck your tongue out, just once, you would taste it and realize how delicious the truth actually is. Because you would become an instant addict. Unable to pull yourself from the teat of truth. Finally, able to understand your lack of understanding, and then you would see; then you would know that the only thing holding you back from doing something truly amazing, is YOU.

Programming / Re: I Am 17 Years Old, I Designed This Website. Please Rate My Work by thewebcraft(m): 8:28pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
@Angelmichael88, My ratings: 30%. My advice is you should learn how to make a responsive grid system in css after that look for how other similar websites headers, layouts or footers are use that to challenge yourself to make better designs, I see you're not far from it. Once again don't listen to bad comments, they think that's the best you can do, some have forgotten how bad they started, just take up another project and wow us. Nice one. 1 Like |

cinclefpascal:skybot messenger one of nigeria best messenger app made by the best developers in nigeria (evoapps tech inc.), you say it's secured yet you allow users share non-media files (could be a virus) and comparing with WhatsApp when its not even 6 months old, features are boring, and i bet it will only be available for the android platform, just because you created an app doesn't mean people want it nobody need's your app. |

Programming / How To Install .NET Framework 3.5 In Windows 10 (offline) by thewebcraft(m): 10:06pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Windows 10 comes with .NET framework 4.5 pre-installed, but many apps developed in Vista and Windows 7 era require the .NET framework v3.5 installed along with 4.5. These apps will not run unless you will install the required version. When you try to run any such app, Windows 10 will prompt you to download and install .NET framework 3.5 from the Internet. However, this will take a lot of time. You can save your time and install .NET Framework 3.5 from the Windows 10 installation media. This method is much faster and does not even require an Internet connection. Here is how to install it. To install .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 10, do the following: 1. Insert your Windows 10 DVD, or insert your flash drive with Windows 10 setup, depending on what you have. 2. Open 'This PC' in File Explorer and note the drive letter of the installation media you have inserted. In my case it is disk D: 3. Now open an elevated command prompt (Run Command Prompt As Administrator) and type the following command: Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source: D :\sources\sxs /LimitAccess Replace D: with your drive letter for Windows 10 installation media, WHERE D: is the letter of your flash drive, Windows DVD or hard disk you inserted You are done! This will install .NET framework 3.5 in Windows 10. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
