I deeply appreciate people that turn their faces into the UNCOMFORTABLE zone to follow either something they believe in or where their contribution would generate quality value. And then achieve that!
I deal with very smart people every day, and to be considered a sort of GOD Engineer that deals with all sorts of IT stuff and solve their problems as fast as they could imagine, every day, is really an overrated classification (in my end) of what is my daily life work value. Although, it empowers me to do what I really like to do, which has a tremendous value to me: Exploring!
