    Starting my CompTIA A+ Journey: From Enthusiast to Certified Pro 🛠️💻

    Have a purpose. Don't study or get certified just because. You should have a goal and actively focus on it. Money will come with determination, discipline and passion to succeed. You just need a goal and a focus and work on it daily.

    Holding AI Accountable

    I liken these issues to people who jump into water knowing they cannot swim. We cannot start blaming AI or technology for every societal ill or psychological breakdown of a person who doesn't seek professional help. There is an over reliance on technology and social media like no time that I...
