My Mantras

A mantra is a word or short phrase which is repeated often to oneself in times of reflection. I follow a set of self-made mantras to guide my daily activities.

I Grow.

  • Transparently explain my objectives to others while I pursue my goals
  • Seek areas for further improvement by reflecting on previous achievements

I Practice.

  • Improve technical skills by developing and debugging websites and applications
  • Maintain communication skills by actively sharing written and spoken messages online
  • Exercise compassion by creating safe and inclusive spaces

I Entertain.

  • Post dank memes and other pop culture references on the interwebs
  • Produce YouTube videos which inspire joy and action in others
  • Create games, both to be played on the computer and on the table top

I Educate.

  • Post multimedia content online to share my knowledge with others
  • Discuss allyship to teach people how to help oppressed people and animals
  • Offer to tutor others in fields where I excell, such as math and science
