Weekly Community Check-In #151 - Don’t give up ❤️ #11547

Closed JeffyDave closed 1 year ago

JeffyDave commented 2 years ago

Hi everybody! 👏

We all at Public Lab 🎈 - learn, grow, work, brainstorm ideas, contribute together so why not share about our weekly goals and the awesome work we have done at Public Lab with each other, so we can support and collaborate with each other better. We have a Community Check-In each week, where every community member can share something about their work from the past week and about their current week's goal 🎯 . You are also welcome to share fun-fact 😄 , new ideas 💡 , your learning goals ☑️.

We believe in collaborative efforts to support our community. We are running a learning platform which helps a newcomer to become a leader of tomorrow. 💯

Don’t give up ❤️

People from different backgrounds tend to fight a lot of personal battles while trying to grow in the tech industry. Things may be getting tougher but please don’t give up.

Some tips to help you stay motivated

  1. Remember where you came from and where you’re going. We need to remember why we have to wake up and push ourselves daily, it helps us to keep going.
  2. Talk to a friend. Talking to a close friend helps lighten up the mind from these personal struggles we tend to face. If you feel you have no one to speak to please speak to me. I’ll always be here to listen.
  3. Go out a little. A lot of us are introverted because of the nature of what we do. Take some time outside the house and go for those short walks, get a drink a with a friend or play a sport from time to time.

Please take care of your mental health, it’s one of the most important factors that affect our positive output both in the work of technology and our day to day lives. Don’t ever give up on your dreams, you’ve got this!!!!

If you have any tip to help us stay motivated, you could also leave a comment on that.
