Space… the final frontier. These are the voyages of a human being. Their continuing mission to explore strange new worlds. Well, it’s an adaptation of Star Trek The Next Generation (you Trekkies will know…). Various characters from Star Trek find themselves in unexpected, unfamiliar, and unexpected situations and environments. Each series featured a character who explored their humanity (and often their emotions, or lack of), trying to find their place, trying to fit in. Think of stoic Spock, android Data, changeling Odo, or Borg 7of9. Whilst set centuries in the future and in space, the core principles of people who find it difficult to fit in, through trial and error, failures and mistakes. I was always fascinated by Star Trek (yes, I’ve seen many of the earlier series’ many a time over). As a kid, you don’t know why, it’s an instinctive feeling. Reflecting as an adult, seeing their characters’ development and growth (very much relatable to being autistic in a neurotypical world), they acted as fictional role models; abstracted representation. There were not many relatable or genuine portrayals of autistic people on TV in the nineties. This is one of the reasons I plug this stuff so much here on LinkedIn. Whilst the audience is predominantly adult, I hope that it helps other adults who might be going through similar or indeed parents that might be navigating with the knowledge their child is autistic. Finally, space could be considered as the mind - a place we encounter so many thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Our minds are so often overloaded with ‘stuff’, so finding some space and making peace with it is the internal voyage we each go on. #space #StarTrek #ActuallyAutistic #autism #RoleModels #headspace #thoughts #emotions #MentalHealth

On Workhorses and Game of Thrones 21st December 2024 “It never ceases to amaze me to see how much territory can be grasped if one merely masters and consistently uses all the obvious and easily learned principles.” Charlie Munger To open, I had to go with Charlie Munger, one of my “if you could have anyone for dinner” guests. So many wisdom nuggets… When I was transitioning to the Industry, I started following the Cheeky Scientist on LinkedIn. Isaiah Hankel specialises in helping PhDs transitioning to Industry positions. I Highly recommend him. Of course he is biased. BUT he has very good points and is usually on point. A few months ago he commented on a WSJ paper entitled [“Why the Reliable Office Workhorse Rarely Gets Ahead”](https://lnkd.in/dHEBcwBr) . Do yourself a favour and read the WSJ article. After mulling over this article and applying fundamental economic principles I am learning ,I wanted to share some food for thought. Here are 2 key principles that apply to any decision you need to make. [Opportunity Cost](https://lnkd.in/dq_fk3V9). By prioritizing being at the computer, bench, etc… you are foregoing other key aspects of career progression that will eventually leave you unable to proceed further. Aspects such as networking, strategizing, and being seen are key. More on that later. [Diminishing Returns](https://lnkd.in/dARgJpu8). For each additional moment you spend at the computer, bench, etc… beyond an optimal point, you are getting less additional incremental returns out of it. There comes a point where it becomes a self inflicting wound. Again diversifying consciously by networking, strategizing, and being seen, you are maximizing your career returns. You can easily see how these 2 principles play on each other. You may eschew networking, strategizing, and being seen and tell me that “that's selling out”, “ its not something that comes natural for me”, “in my opinion you are wrong”…and more expressions in that vein. My answer to you then is that you are suffering from “Ned Stark Syndrome”. TLDR for those that have not seen Season 1 of GOT. Ned Stark was in a situation where he knew what he had to do but because of his Ego, Hubris and foolish consistency, he decided not to, thereby killing himself, his clan and starting a bloody war. Until next Time Luis edit: typos and expressions

It's #Friday, and here’s my #insight of the week. When you choose your #path and set a #goal, be prepared for obstacles — they are inevitable, as even physics confirms: movement always encounters #resistance. The most important thing on your journey is to stay true to your course. For this, you need a clear goal, one that will become your guiding #star. Let this goal be the #lighthouse that illuminates your path in the darkest moments. I wish you to find that lighthouse and hold your course firmly, even when you face a strong gale. Keep the helm steady, strengthen your #crew, and remember: the #brave, the #fearless, and the #passionate always reach their #destination. Have a great weekend! 😎 #IT #EPAMSystems #CreativeProducerInTech #DataAnalyst #DataVisualization #AnalistaDeDatos #GrandesDatos #VisualizacionDeDatos #OleksandraProtsenko #OleksaBartka #FridaysPhoto #SeeMore #Art
