I’m Not a Genius — Just Simply Ambitious (And That’s Enough)

"There’s no algorithm for ambition — just raw will and a loop that never breaks."
Hey there, fellow explorer!

If you’re here hoping to find a tech genius with a million-dollar startup or a CS degree from MIT… you’re in the wrong tab. But if you’re someone who's just getting started — nervous, clueless, yet determined — then you’re exactly where you need to be.

I'm not perfect. I’m not even close. I’ve just started — with nothing but free courses, a few mini-projects, and one ridiculously big dream: to build things that matter and one day perhaps get what I wish for: success and power... more importantly, happiness. A feeling that I am enough

This blog isn’t about showing off. It’s about showing up.

What I Have (So Far)

  • A couple of free certificates (thank you, YouTube & GeeksforGeeks)
  • One non-coding hackathon project that I somehow survived
  • An absolute beginner’s brain with a whole lot of grit
  • A dream to work in AI & data science
  • A refusal to give up

Why I'm Writing This

This blog is part:

  • 🧠 Journal – to document my messy, real progress
  • 📍 Roadmap – to track what works and what doesn’t
  • ❤️ Support group – for anyone who feels like they’re late, lost, or left behind

If You're...

  • Ahead of me: I admire you.
  • Behind me: I believe in you.
  • Beside me: Let’s build something together.

We don’t need to be perfect.

We just need to be ambitious — and consistent.

Thanks for being here.

This is Post #1 of a journey that’s just getting started.

You can call me Simply Ambitious

See you in the next one.
