Growing up, I shied away from opportunities because I was scared to fail. I lost on a lot of opportunities because of that.

I recently had a conversation with a client . I did a 3D model of their project using Sketchup Pro (3d modeling program). Him and his wife loved the design and asked for photos to show their family. While waiting for the prints, I mentioned how he could actually download a program called “Sketchup Viewer” which would allow them to spin the model around and navigate the 3d model at their own time. Of course, they got really excited!

First off, I want to get something out of the way. I LOVE GADGETS! Since I was a little boy, my dad has supported me with my love for electronics. You name it; game consoles, cellphones, cameras, computers. I have always been a fan of new technology. But don’t you worry, this gift guide won’t be all electronics. I enjoy other things too.

Then, I started to challenge myself with more chapters the following weeks. By doing so, the seemingly big and impossible task of studying for the ARE doesn't seem so big and impossible anymore now that you're digesting it in smaller pieces.
