Envy is something funny right? Here is the definition of "Envy" according to Dictionary.com:
"noun, plural envies.
1. a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.
2. an object of such feeling:
Her intelligence made her the envy of her classmates."

There is no need to lie here. Let's be honest with each other. I've been there too. I know that you've been envious of someone at least during some part of your life.

There are situations where we simply can control how we feel about someone else's success. We start to feel a feeling that we don't even know how to define. Something starts to burn inside of us... That's envy.

So, how can you start enjoying someone else's success instead of start hating that someone is making more success than you? How can you shift your mindset when it comes to envying the success of someone?

Online dating websites... Hm... Controversial question, isn't it? I know you, as a man, probably has thought about enrolling in an online dating website several times.

Online dating websites have that mysterious and catchy thing about them. In your head, it seems like a very good choice. You think it will be easy to pick up women if you create a profile on one of these online dating websites, you think this will be easy for you.

However, this choice might not be as smart as you think. In fact, online dating websites can show up as being a very dumb choice for men and the reason might be very different from what you're thinking right now.

Promoting yourself is the key to building a successful programming career. Getting your stuff out there and seen is one of the best ways to start building awareness of what you do and to your work.

However, there are places and places to promote your content, especially if you have a brand. in today's video, I received a question from a reader asking me how should he use programming events to promote his brand.

This developer has a programming brand with a service that he offers and he wants to promote it at events and conferences. How should he do it?

First things I want to say is: don't do it. Conferences are not the best place to promote it.

Coming to the decision of quitting college is already a hard process. This is a difficult decision which has to overcome a lot of challenges, including the ones imposed by society, parents, friends, the future and the "security" you get when you get a degree.

So, you came up with the decision that you want to quit college. If you're just like 80% of people who are in college, you're probably a teenager that is still under your parent's care and you still own them some explanation about your life, especially when it comes to school and college.

So... how do you tell your parents you want to quit college? Difficult, isn't it?

I'm going to start off saying that this isn't an easy task. In fact, it can be very difficult and there is no EASY way to do that. What you can do, instead, is making it less worse.

So, what is the best way of approaching your parents and telling them you don't want to be in college anymore? Should you be aggressive? Should you argue? Should you present the facts and your arguments? Listen to this episode and find out!

Confidence. Something that some programmers have and others lack. A thing that separates successful programmers from average programmers.

A lot of different programmers have confidence issues and it definitely holds them down when it comes to advancing in their careers. The biggest confidence problems that programmers suffer is regarding their code.

I've talked with several developers since I started Simple Programmers and they all seem to think that the code they write is not good enough. Some can't even write their own code.

So, how to do you build confidence in yourself to start writing your own code? How do you overcome that plateau where you're only able to copy someone else's code?

What strategy should you employ if you're looking into writing your own code and creating your own applications? Watch this video and find out!

Building muscle is something difficult that a lot of people try but few are able to really get it done. It involved discipline, continuous motivation, hard work and a serious gym routine.

However, some people don't go to the gym for a lot of different reasons: they don't have time, they don't enjoy it, they don't have how to pay for a membership, etc.

So, can you build muscles without going to the gym? I receive this question a lot, from different people all around the world. They ask me what are some good exercises for you to do at home for those who don't go to the gym.

So, I decided to record this video to answer this question. Can you really build muscles from home, without going to the gym? Watch this video and find out!

Lots of programmers work with automation and creating solutions for companies to reduce costs and increase the profit of whoever hire them. However, this work can become tedious and make you bored very easily if you don't take the proper action to reverse this thing.

So, I've received a question from a reader asking me if there were any industries in which they could be creative. Are there industries where developers and programmers can be more creative than in others?

The answer is: I don't think so.

The creativity will definitely depend on how you choose to do your job and how you do your job. It depends on how much effort you put on your choices and how your brain works to overcome the problems you're faced with.

Wanna know more about creative industries for programmers? Listen to this podcast and find out!

A lot of people lack self-confidence. Over and over, especially nowadays, we see more and more people complaining about all of those things, having a lot of difficulties building self-trust, self-worthiness, and self-confidence.

However, there are also other types of people: who THINK that they are confident, but they really aren't. Most people build something inside them that looks more like arrogance than with confidence. And this is definitely a trap you should be avoiding.

There is what I call "TRUE" self-confidence which is definitely something you should be aware and should be aiming when it comes to developing yourself.

There is definitely a difference between building confidence and building TRUE self-confidence. Wanna know more about how you can become a TRUE self-confident person? Watch this video and find out!

I believe in living a balanced life. I believe in living a good life where you can actually enjoy life, your achievements and all the good things that this world has to offer.

We all have different areas that we should be able to administrate and balance: work, life, relationships, fitness, health, investments, etc.

Today I wanted to talk about two in specific: work and life.

How do you find balance in a busy life, working at a company, in your projects and also finding some time off to relax? In this video I received a question about someone asking me if it was ok for him to take some time off to relax.

I confess that I also struggle with that too. I find it hard to find the balance between work and relax time, most to the fact that I don't make differences between work and relaxation and I don't think work is a bad thing.

So, is it ok to take some time off to relax? And how much should you take? Watch this video and find out!

C# is featured among one of the most important and popular programming languages in the software development industry.

There are a lot of different uses for C# and it is definitely a big choice if you want to specialize in C# one day. According to Microsoft's website, there are a lot of different ways that you can use and apply C# when it comes to creating programming software.

"C# is an elegant, simple, type-safe, object-oriented language that allows enterprise programmers to build a breadth of applications.

C# also gives you the capability to build durable system-level components by virtue of the following features:
- Full COM/Platform support for existing code integration.
- Robustness through garbage collection and type safety.
- Security provided through intrinsic code trust mechanisms.
- Full support of extensible metadata concepts.

You can also interoperate with other languages, across platforms, with legacy data, by virtue of the following features:
- Full interoperability support through COM+ 1.0 and .NET
- Framework services with tight library-based access.
- XML support for wWeb-based component interaction.
- Versioning to provide ease of administration and deployment."
(Extracted from: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa664274(v=vs.71).aspx)

So, according to all this stuff, learning C# might definitely be a good idea... But how do you start?

Watch this video so you can know what are the best resources for learning C# and how you can accelerate the process or learning this robus programming language.

A lot of people can't enjoy their lives. And I totally understand that. You know, I've been there.

Earlier in my career, I was a completely different person. I had a very bad temperament, I was constantly fighting, I was constantly getting into arguments and I was constantly chasing something that I could not achieve.

if you know my story, you've probably heard me talking about my retirement career. I've chased retiring when I was 30 that when I got there I felt completely lost. I have achieved my goal but... NOW WHAT? And this is the point I want to get: I didn't use to enjoy life back then.

So, how do you become a man that fully enjoys life? How can you create a life full of joy and enjoyment? Watch this video and find out!

Some programmers dream of getting a job. Some programmers dream of finding high paying clients. And some programmers dream of becoming entrepreneurs.

Despite entrepreneurship being one of the most talked things of the last few years and is presented as one of the best solutions for people, it is not for everyone.

The life of entrepreneurs is hard. It involves a lot (I really mean... A LOT!) of hard work, creative thinking, decision making, guts, mindset, etc. And it might not be the best option for you. And there is nothing wrong with it.

So, do you wanna know if entrepreneurship is the road you should be following? Listen to this episode and find out!

Recently, I've faced one of the hardest times of my life when it came to keeping up motivation. If you watch my videos you've probably seen how unmotivated I became and I literally exposed myself here in the channel, which is something I do for you to realize that it can happen to anyone.

In those videos, I talked about the importance of keeping it going, even tough you're unmotivated. And how you need to keep working for you to achieve everything you want in life.

However, I think that, in life, everything needs to be balanced. In today's video I'm going to talk about work addiction.

I received an email from a reader that said that his drive couldn't stop and he couldn't enjoy anything that life has provided him. He kept going from one thing to another and he never actually found time to stop and enjoy life. He asked my opinion on this and what is the reason that he can't stop and enjoy life.

As some of you might know, I do a lot of cardio. I'm in an intensive workout and diet program so that I can lower my body fat percentage as much as I can. If you watch my YT channel regularly, you're probably aware that i want to drop my body fat percentage by 10% - 7%.

And the way I choose to do this is by enrolling in an intensive workout and fitness program (which is something I plan to release in the future) and by doing cardio. I run almost 4 hours per week and this is the training I decided to do.

However, a lot of people ask me why I don't do HIIT, which is high-intensity interval training. It seems that the HIIT trainings are known to burn a lot of calories within a small amount of time.

So, why I don't do HIIT? Is HIIT really effective for burning fat? How can I supposedly prefer cardio instead of HIIT for burning fat?

Software Development is definitely an awesome job. It provides a good financial stability for those who are in the field, it helps create the future and build awesome things, as well as being one of the most demanded jobs of our current landscape.

However, software development is not for everyone. You must be aware of how is the life of a software developer so that you can be aware if this is the right path for you.

Just like every career, software development has its ups and down, its pros and cons and, some people will perform better than others, while others might find this career a pain in the ass.

A lot of programmers dream about becoming freelancers. Wouldn't it be awesome to not have a boss that tells you what to do and to have flexibility in your work? Work on your underwears, in your home, anytime you want?

Well... Maybe... But this dream fantasy that people sell you is usually not what happens. Yes, of course, these are some benefits of becoming a freelancer, but there are also a lot of downsides to this choice.

For example, let's take the money. When you're in a company, you get your salary each month PLUS some benefits, such as food, and other stuff your company might have agreed to support you. When you're a freelancer, all these expenses need to be covered by you... So, you would be losing money if you actually charged the same thing.

In this video, I'll explain if you're ready to make this transition to becoming a freelancer software developer and what are the things you should take into consideration when it comes to becoming a successful freelancer.

So, this is another book review, this time with a book that I consider being... Well... Kind of unique.

Dianetics is the book I'll be reviewing today. As some of you might know, I am a big fan of personal development, goal setting, and psychology. I found the mind aspect being one of the most powerful factors when determining if a person will be successful or not. Dianetics is definitely a good book that talks a lot about these aspects.

Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon:
If you’ve ever felt there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be, you were right.
