I struggled in school with practical hands on skills like pdhpe where there was cpr which is why I struggled when I first studied physiotherapy. I was not enthusiastic about treating people for life lest I make a mistake which is why I let school convince me to do something would give my all and studied engineering but now I realise I am not so good to be able to invent things that I realise it is more difficult to succeed to do to invent that also more competition to get the jobs to get experience that others would not make it easy to do so I can do and I don’t know if I can invent anything to make money which is why I wanted to do.

Also no one seems interested in me and would find happiness if I would be able to help save life if someone is in need where no one is there if I could manage pain of one if there is no doctor around I just want to learn in case of emergency not to actually treat people for life hard operations to make mistake only if no other doctor around seems good hobby to only learn to train on dummies basic operations for controlling pain if there is no surgeon so I would like to be useful so want to study medicine but am not going to go to school again if expensive. I was not good with fine motor dexterity but perhaps I can learn. But it is not necessary if paramedic is able to completely manage pain until one can help but not sure if pain can be managed permanently if one does not arrive but if can I would like to study that.

I believe as Jesus said he who gains his life will lose it but he who hates his life will keep it for eternal life He meant if you love to live mostly for this world and not for salvation of souls you will lose your soul because you can not serve God and mammon meaning that while your focus is mostly on mammon so that you seek it before you are close to God you are not enough dedicated to God .

For you are not supposed to gain the whole world as Jesus said in parable of the sower desire for other things entering in choke the word and it becomes unfruitful so really I think person is not supposed to be distracted by worldly things for those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and forsake the faith in practice the devotion so person should be content just to have an income doing those things one can do well.

I believe it is right to do so we are called to live for Jesus not for world that you have to focus on first being faithful over few things if it makes most profit to serving Jesus but if you find it would help to do more can do. But if you have done already it is ok to continue if you can do that you have skills so it does not hinder your relationship with Christ but you could die before doing so.

I see now it is not wrong to do your best to make money that is also denying yourself laziness. Jesus means hate your old life of sin to repent of sin including not having peace with others and not working.

so He did not mean if you have worked and made much money which can be used to help others is wrong but not to do so to mostly live for world to spend on yourself and not others and He means if you gain your life that is dont work because you prefer to be lazy to only care for self for many people need help and that is why Jesus gave parable of the talents.

As a christian I believe it is important to put God first that our goal must first be Christ kingdom and not our desires for success but you can follow a career as far as it does not take from putting Christ first.

This is similar to why I wanted to study electrical engineering which I did to create an electronic but I didn’t find Jobs did teach such skills to be about that and those who do some form of electronics not what I wanted require you already know some things which is hard to ensure to know where to find work experience related to that. I asked this question in chatgpt. I just recently thought that would be good to do if I can which serves similar purpose why I studied even if I had other plans just to create electronics that may be useful for other purposes.


Where can I learn how to reverse enginner a video game console hardware to know how it was put together to know how to emulate it for educational purposes how electronics are made to also create other systems.

Reverse engineering a video game console hardware for the purpose of creating an emulator requires a deep understanding of computer architecture, electronics, and software development. Here are some steps you can follow to learn about this process:

1. Understand computer architecture: Gain knowledge of computer architecture principles, including processors, memory systems, input/output mechanisms, and bus architectures. Books and online resources on computer organization and architecture can be helpful.

2. Study electronics and digital circuit design: Learn about digital logic, integrated circuits, and electronic components. This knowledge will help you understand how the console's hardware components work together. Online courses, tutorials, and textbooks can provide a solid foundation in this field.

3. Learn programming: Develop strong programming skills in languages like C/C++ and assembly language. Emulator development often involves low-level programming and requires a good understanding of the console's instruction set architecture.

4. Familiarize yourself with console architecture: Study the console's hardware specifications, including its central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), memory systems, and input/output interfaces. Official documentation, developer resources, and community forums can provide valuable insights.

5. Analyze existing emulators: Examine existing emulators for other consoles to understand the techniques and strategies used in their development. Open-source emulators like RetroArch, Dolphin, or MAME can serve as good references.

6. Reverse engineer existing console software: Analyze the console's software, firmware, or operating system to understand how it interacts with the hardware. Tools like disassemblers and debuggers can help you analyze the code and understand its functionality.

7. Join emulator development communities: Engage with communities and forums dedicated to emulator development. These communities often share knowledge, provide guidance, and help troubleshoot challenges you may encounter.

8. Experiment and iterate: Start by emulating simpler systems or older consoles to gain hands-on experience. Gradually work your way up to more complex hardware architectures.

Remember, while reverse engineering for personal exploration and educational purposes is generally allowed, distributing or using emulators for copyrighted games may infringe upon intellectual property rights. Ensure you understand the legal implications and strive to comply with copyright laws and licensing agreements.

I believe however such goals are a distraction from serving Christ to save souls not for everyone to desire to be rich to stray from faith that it should be for those who were not called having a purpose to preach who was producing fruit if they are already in field knowing God calls them to do that one should not waste time only seeking a reasonable income not be high minded.

I feel I am not really living a meaningful life that if person knows he may be able to to have time to he should try to gain talents to serve others though such is not required for salvation as parable of the talents is only about serving God with any talent given to you which is what God will allow you to gain and the one with one talent did gain one.

For he could make profit from it by teaching it to others if he can no longer use it what he knows if he does not share but does not say you need to use all talents that is for reward that if you can not that is without learning a skill which all can do but if not possible now that if you do not in any service way atleast you should deposit money with bankers that is to turn to say is true and acknowledge their good work.

I want to study to be a general practitioner in the future and a paramedic and fire fighter if I can learn. And learn survival skills such as how to hunt an animal and practice gun handling with a dummy gun not real gun which may be harmful but just so I can know how to use a gun and meat processing and finding other food in the wilderness that I would really just need food and then can move to city to try to sleep to endure martyrdom there. Though if ready may not need to to go through tribulation but if not ready and one does not need such skills that one can just choose to not flee and starve to endure with christ help and be martyr yet is good to help prepare more people to receive the Lord to not suffer as much.

If I had ability I would do this course. I would be able to help people if I am there when christians are persecuted under the rule of the beast and christians can help me. I think is only good to do if those who are trained are able to reduce most pain under any condition of severed body parts for as long as needed if cant see doctor.

11208NAT Certificate IV in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Response


I wont need high grades to do as my parents used to object to doing medicine but i am bad at practical. I wonder if that certificate is complete or is harder to learn from that institution and should do below course

It is right to pursue passion to do more for God but comes after first one commitment to preach though one does more if can for God for any way of serving God is acceptable but one only needs to do what is possible that preaching comes first but after to for greater reward.

I want to learn arabic to be able to understand videos of others in arabic to benefit from many other wisdom of preachers in different churches and would like to learn other languages too even hebrew would be nice too to learn from other messianic believers but other cultures too to understand how language influences their worship but I only want to learn personally from other christians.

I decided rather I would not learn hebrew as I dont need it and because I dont feel it is helpful for me to be too close to a people that God made distinction who could just use it as reason to not be serious trying to just be friends but their own people should reach them.

I have never worked except in a family business as I always thought of the most difficult jobs or thought all jobs are hard because I assumed I have to learn on the job. Now I want to watch dvds on cooking and maybe take some cooking classes and seek to gain confidence to work as a chef in a restaurant.

Though I have dreams to follow and I do not seek to be persecuted but I know I have duty perhaps to preach or should for kingdom and others but I also seek to follow dreams only because I should occupy myself more profitably until my time comes to die I know that does not come first but to preach christ for what shall it profit the man if he gains the world and loses his soul. That dreams are not promised but if I followed christ and did will of God to preach I sufficiently done the will of God that I should be satisfied even if I am persecuted to harm my body so that I can not fulfill dreams.

I will seek help where needed but I won’t be greedy to just try to gain skills to show off to be successful for myself but just learn some skills for myself within my strengths to have a family that I may have some profit to raise a child in the faith and not be distracted just seeking much success not in my strengths but just learn to focus on some skills not too high ambition for myself to just serve God that I may be a faithful servant but I trust salvation is free gift that you just need to be profitable in any way even preaching to be safe and only requires works if can do but to be accepted to be rewarded to enter kingdom on death you need to.

I decided instead I will live only for Jesus to not seem to seem not serious though they ought to take seriously that I will not pursue riches or to work if help is not from christian otherwise to leave business aside if I have to get help from non christian that I will work only for a christian if I need money and only marry a wife if accepting that for christ also supports that not to worry for tommorow. Though a christian may have sinned getting money from help from non christian bible says can accept them and it needed not to happen that I can still get help from christian who did not or get enough money raising it from a job that involves labour where skills are learned in public knowledge even if shared from a non christian but the point is I don't seek favours from them anymore for if they didn't share it a christian would that some knowledge has been discovered by the ancients before christianity and they recorded it but if they didn’t christian would.


Jeremiah 17:5-8
5 Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the LORD.
6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

I decided I would focus most my time on my spiritual talent my knowledge that I should preach and reading bible and other christian books such as apologetics and being encouraged how christ was with others in persecution and being a missionary and focus on how to serve that I would not be distracted by tv and games though I want to watch tv and play games but it must not come before christ.I will only do if I feel I need break and also seek some way to serve such as learn skills and teach it and work but first preaching more and not be distracted by earthly pleasures such as tv and games or I will do only after I spent most time with christ as it is a talent also can be used to communicate with others about tv.

For others acquaintances and when dating persons prefer someone knowledeable about things having hobbies like games and games can help increase mental capacity and teach how to play to help others play games with others to know to interact with others to share gospel but I must not be too focused as bible says childhood and youth is vanity.
