Be born to something this is something that I do know, but at the same time, I don't. As much as people try to help me find my way to success, I kind of ignore that because it seems like they're the ones making the choice for me. So, as much as people think I wasn't born to be something or that I just don't want to be anything, I tell you this: I was born to be free, to make my own choices, to make my own mistakes, to rule my life the way I think is right, and that will be my goal.

I have a popular saying that applies very well in IT, practice makes perfect.

I have taught many people to develop programs in my life and at first it is normal for some people to think that they were not born for it.

But after weeks of hard work, I have seen many people develop as if they were born to that. So, really, practice gives you that skill!

I have this friend, Sophia, who was born to be an artist. She’s the kind of person who looks at a pile of random materials and sees potential, turning them into something beautiful. Whether it’s painting, designing, or photographing, she has this unusual ability to see art everywhere, even when others can’t. Sometimes, my friends and I couldn’t even keep up with all of her creative ideas.

Last year, my class was supposed to create an art project about the nature and how to preserve it. Everyone else was stuck on basic ideas, but Sophia came up with an entire concept that brought together recycling, painting, photography, and even sound. She got the whole group involved, and in the end, our project became the highlight of the exhibition. People couldn’t stop talking about it and we got an excellent grade. She was born to be someone who doesn’t just create, but transforms the world around her.

My Son's Journey of Resilience

Since childhood, my son showed remarkable intelligence, solving complex problems with ease. School challenges never intimidated him—they fueled his drive.

When he faced the tough university entrance exam, he didn’t pass the first time. Instead of giving up, he studied harder and succeeded on his second attempt. That day, I realized: he was born to face big challenges. His determination and brilliance inspire me and our entire family and will take him far

The other day, I was watching Ayrton Senna's movie on Netflix with my wife. Watching the scenes from the movie, I could clearly see that Ayrton was born to be a driver. Since his childhood, in the go-kart days, his determination and desire to win was already visible. His ability to drive in the rain was unique. One of the most emblematic phrases in the movie talks about this: "The rain puts the cars on the same level, not the drivers..."

Ayrton Senna was one of my greatest idols for everything he did on and off the track!!! He was indeed born to drive!
