Lessons With A King

I’m going to guess that you’ve seen a heist movie. There’s almost always a scene where the CCTV is tampered with and the security gets to watch something on the screen but that’s not what’s actually happening. Data is beautiful but data can be tampered with so do not just take things at face value. Find out as much as you can and always check your data.

PROMPT: Question data

“Check The Gate” is a filmmaking term basically meaning check that the film gate doesn’t have any obstruction because we love this take and want to make sure there wasn’t any shit on the lens when we shot that. However, these days film is rarely used so even though the term is still used, it means to make sure the data is on the card. If you shoot and there was some mess on the card, that is not a very good thing. Nope! We should check our files from time to time and good practice, back things up.

PROMPT: How often do you check the files on your hard drives?

In life, it will rain, meaning shit will happen. We all know shit usually happens when we least expect it to happen. What we need to do is learn to enjoy the rain. I find that when shit happens, it means I am actually doing something. I am actually working on something and if I wasn’t then shit wouldn’t have happened. Focus on the positive and learn to enjoy the rain because it will surely come.

PROMPT: What things do you do to enjoy the rain?

We sometimes complain over the smallest things when we should be grateful that we are alive and get to experience these things. The key is to alter your mindset. Rather than seeing that you “have to” go to work, you see it as you “get to” go to work. With just a tiny switch, you have a brand new outlook on life. No, you don’t have to do that thing, you get to do it and that’s super awesome, don’t you think?

PROMPT: What do you GET to do today?

In life, we have things we love but we also have some trash in our lives too. We need to be comfortable with throwing away the trash because if we don’t we will get overwhelmed. The less trash we carry, the easier our lives get.

PROMPT: When was the last time you cleaned your trash? What was the trash?
