What my Ikigai is?
Ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) is a wonderful Japanese concept that essentially means “a reason for being.” It’s made from two Japanese words: iki, meaning “life” and kai, meaning “effect, result, worth or benefit.” Combined: “a reason for living.”

I love to Program and I love to solve a program through programming. i love the challenges that programming has and it interests me even stronger when the challenge is more difficult. I love to put my creative ideas into the program and see how they make an impact on others.

I learned or want to learn these things because they fascinate me.
What does the world need?
I would like to limit the scope of the ‘world’ here to my potential clients, product vendors, enterprises, SMBs, service providers, and the industry. Nowadays there are Quite some amount of students are getting passed out of the universities as SOFTWARE ENGINEERS. But not everyone has the potential to be one.
As a personal opinion, I think the degree is not the one that the industry expects from the students. They expect creativity. they want something new which they haven’t seen before. they want employees who can change a company in a better way.
What can I get paid for?
Turns out that I can potentially get paid for a lot of things that my to-be clients need

gaming
