I'm not an expert I'm not a guru I'm not trying to preach or something here I've been doing Sabbath security for more than 10 years now and in the last few years there have been so many times that I got super point out and I was like this close to leaving hacking and leaving cybersecurity and doing something else I'll share a couple of my experiences when I was really young people used to tell me hey man like you should stay away from computer for some Mars or they were like hey you should do something else other than hacking happiness or everything I was like oh no that's [ __ ] but trust me I was

actually thinking if I say eight hours away from hacking that's like ten cross-site scripting which is equal to like five thousand dollars or something like that trust me it's all [ __ ] like once you get gray hair like me you will understand the importance of having real life experiences and in fact for that matter of fact I would actually recommend you to have friends who are not necessarily doing information security it will only help your mind mindset and it will only make you a better hacker another thing that's very important is like people have people told me hey you should be doing physically physical exercise and then I was like again who does physical

exercise but two years ago when I went to the doctor my doctor my doctor was like hey observe your back is [ __ ] and after that I started exercising so I can actually tell you that exercising and doing a little bit of yoga or something like that is very important so if you don't want to get burnt out one try to spend time away from your computer have some chai have some biryani with your friends and have real life experiences and to try to do some physical exercises go to a park or go to a gym etcetera everyone says this I'm also saying this and trust me it works like a charm oh by the way I

forgot to tell my name my name is Abu jet
