Who you are.

Sustainability is a (not so new) trend that is receiving a good amount of spotlight recently. This trend encourages people to think about the environment and living in harmony with nature. That's good for the Earth, but what about living in harmony with nature within the human spirit? Some of us believe that each individual has his / her own purpose in life and that purpose is found when one has discovered and established their gift. Their gift being a skill or talent they believe they were born to do - because they're good at it.

But what if we don't know what we were born to do? Some of us wander aimlessly, flowing along with the norm, finding nothing and everything interesting with little or no direction in life. Well, I've got a suggestion for those who don't know what they were born to do; they need to look at their family; they need to consider what was previously accomplished by their parents (close relatives) and try to improve on that. Thinking in that direction is living in harmony with the nature of one's spirit. After all, our personalities, the way we think and how we do things is either taught or inherited from our parents (relatives); and its biological, it's in our DNA whether we like it or not.

Going against what your parents (relatives) previously were (currently are), is unnatural. It's going against nature and a rough road for those who choose to disregard who they truly are and what they are destined to become.

My Future Career.

In this essay, I would like to describe my thought process leading to my future career choice. I want to be a biorobotics engineer. The decision to choose biorobotics as a career was not made overnight, but months of contemplating on key points, ultimately helping me conclude that this is the profession I want to dedicate my life to. These points include my interests in robotics and biology as I developed into a young adult, the definition of biorobotics and key area that attracted me to the field, and the unlimited opportunity in what I hope to achieve in a career as a biorobotics engineer. First, growing up, I was fascinated by robots. My father, an electrical engineer, bought me toys such Transformers, and immersed me in books about robots such as the Maxx Steele series; my affection for robots continued as a teenager with mecha-based Japanese anime, such as the series Evangelion . From elementary to highschool, I was also very interested in biology, I loved the study of bacter

Turkey. A Travel Log.

Remnants of a magnificent city past is what makes Istanbul. The Byzantine empire defined area for a little over a millennia and a half before the Ottomans took it. Don't get me wrong Istanbul is amazing in its own right as manifested by the Turks, but just imagine what Constantinople was like at its peak. Stories of a city embossed in gold, aristocrats and scholars strolling about the streets engaging in intellectual dialogue, supernatural events occurring on the regular. You don't see that anymore (for obvious reasons) but what saddens me is the ruins left behind by the Eastern Roman [Christian] empire were no longer sacred nor properly preserved by the current government. There were instances where some remains of a fortress or palace were being used as a garbage dump, graffiti etched forever onto a millennia old structure. Despite this, I was still able to appreciate all that was left behind by the Romans (read Byzantines).  Day 1. We went as a family. Yulia, Sofia and I. Af

Fat Burger.

I ordered the original fat burger and sat down. As I munched on fat burger goodness, across the street I observed an abundance of residential and commercial growth along the Brentwood / Lougheed Highway corridor. Something big is happening and it's happening right here in this very area. I then started thinking about Intel. I remember watching this documentary on the birth of Intel (the chip r&d / manufacturing firm); the film traced the history of its core founders Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Moore, as the common nerd would know, is credited for theorizing Moore's Law; a law that states the number of transistors on a microprocessor doubles about every two years (although evolution of the microprocessor is now reaching its apex). And Noyce, is often credited for inventing the integrated circuit (along with Jack Kilby). Their firm, prior to Intel was Fairchild Semiconductors, a company believed to have jump-started the growth of Silicon Valley. Anyway, before I go off o
