Today, I will share with you how to restart your passion and motivation as a real software engineer. Let’s go!!
Where the passion comes from?
I'd lived in student life without any motivation, just games and computer is my girl friend :x.
But on a winter day, 10 years ago, I'd decided to change my fucking life by learning code with full determination and hope. And the passion and motivation for software development to solve problems came to me naturally. Because of them, I got a good certificated after two years.
In 2015, I joined NTT Data corporation with enthusiasm and curiosity of youth.
The passion and motivation gave me a feeling strong, just do it. I was faced with many projects with different technicals, working as a full-stack developer, and team leader. My passion and humility helped all projects deliver on time and helped me go fast than normal.
Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don't lose the passion and the love for what you do.

Why is passion is gone, and when and how to restart?
Now, I have a little family, a good wife Nhung, and two cute babies.
My career is normal, I work as a Senior Software Engineer in a good company. But the passion and motivation for software development seem to be gone. I can't find the root causes, it can be raising babies, doing a job I don't like, ...
Fortunately, my wife and I decided to review last year and set a plan for this year (I will share with you how to do that next post). So, I see the reason is still a reason if I don't change myself, it's like 10 years ago.
Time changes many things, but I've realized the love for building products to help me and other people is never gone (Let's try to find something you like to do). So, I've decided to start my own blog, and my own projects and bring my ideas to reality.
Feel the fear, and do it anyway. That's the mentality. Even if you're scared, just do it.

New plan for passion creativity
I'll work as a solo developer and solopreneur in my free time. However, this journey is loneliness, then, I share it with all of you. If you like it, please give me some feedback. And there're some goals for sharing in the future:
- Knowledge, inspiration, and advice when I work as a solo developer, solopreneur
- From ideas to products journey (Hoping you can give me opinions)
- Self-improving by using the second brain method
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I hope you enjoy this adventure, my friends.
