► Everything Can Be Taken Away From You ◄
I know this might sound harsh and difficult to hear, but...
Most people live their lives hanging onto something. They fear that they are going to have that something (a job, a person, an object) forever, and they hold onto that so tightly that they end up blind.
Reality is: Everything you have right now can be taken away from you.
So... What do you do in situations like that?

What Programming Language Should BEGINNERS Learn FIRST?
One of the most common questions I get from new programmers starting out in the field of software development is which programming language they should learn.
For some aspiring developers, this question ends up being a stumbling block they never get over.
I’ve coached plenty of developers who were always second-guessing themselves or changing their minds, jumping from programming language to programming language, always worrying about making the wrong decision. They stress over the question, “What programming should I learn?”. If you’ve stressed over this, then this chapter is for you.
First, I’m going to dispel some of that doubt; then I’ll give you some real practical considerations for choosing your first programming language to learn.
So... What programming language should beginners learn first? Watch this video and find out!

► Real Estate: Ownership Interests (Not Into It) ◄
"Real property interests can be acquired and held in several different ways, including as an owner, a possessor, or a party entitled to some future or contingent interest. This article briefly touches on the most common real property interests, and how such interests might be typically applied in “real-world” transactions."
"The most common estate for owning a real property interest is the “fee simple absolute,” often shortened to “fee simple.” A fee simple property interest is the broadest estate described under law"
(Source: https://www.americanbar.org/newsletter/publications/law_trends_news_practice_area_e_newsletter_home/2011_summer/real_property_interests_deeds.html)
What should you do if you were not into Real Estate ownership interests?

► The Technical Skills You NEED To Have As A DEVELOPER! ◄
Have you ever questioned yourself what would be the technical skills you NEED to have as a developer?
You know I often talk here on this channel about soft skills and how important they are. However, we need to make sure not to discard the technical skills, which are definitely a big part in everyone's life and career.
I mean, if you can’t actually write code and develop software, all the soft skills you learn won’t really do you much good. Perhaps you’d make a good manager or coach, but not a software developer.
But if you are reading this section of the book, I’m assuming you are interested in becoming a software developer—or a better one—so let’s talk about the technical skills you are going to need to know.
Now, this is a topic that tends to overwhelm many beginning software developers because it can feel like there is so much to know, and it can be difficult to even know where to start.
I’m going to try and break it down here into what the most essential and beneficial technical skills are that are going to benefit you the most in your quest to become a software developer.
