A letter to my future self

11 February, 2026

I am writing this as a manifesto. A reminder, a soul document. You can see what your younger version was thinking and hoping.

My current principles:

  • don’t be clever
  • don’t expect
  • don’t blame, don’t complain
  • read, write, run
  • you are an ordinary person
  • will outweighs education
  • nobody wins in this game
  • there is nothing more manly than keeping your own word
  • it is more about questions than answers
  • everybody is weird in their own way
  • it will make sense later
  • memorization is not knowledge
  • there is difference between intelligence and reason
  • perfection is not interesting
  • do it for yourself
  • there are always several ways
  • be just, be expressive, be honest
  • always lead yourself
  • things are not that difficult
  • you can’t copy-paste success

The things that I want my future self have:

  • responsibility
  • acceptance of himself
  • value
  • meaningful works
  • beautiful wife
  • 2 kids
  • villa in South of France
  • the work that proves Walter Isaacson wrong

The real you is waiting here
