#30 An Update

About Time...

I thought that it was about time for me to update this Substack.

First and first-most, I changed the name.

I decided to name it “SIC PARVIS MAGNA” which is latin for “Greatness from small beginnings”. It’s inspired by my favorite video game series when I was a kid, Uncharted. In the game, the main character, Nathan Drake, is a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, an explorer. Nathan Drake wears a ring which belonged to Sir Francis around his neck etched with the motto “Sic Parvis Magna” which was Sir Francis’s motto.

He’s wearing it around his neck.

I thought it was a sick name to use and it’s a mantra that I like to live by, almost everyone can become something great in their own way, no matter where they came from or what obstacles they face in life as long as they put in the work.

I also updated the website with the name and a different color scheme to shake things up.

As you saw in the beginning if you are viewing by email, I added some text which mentions that you can view this article on Substack which gives a better reading experience and also put in a banner. I didn’t really know what picture to use in the banner so I put a skeleton smoking, a picture I used for 8 Pieces of Life Advice for the Future.

I also updated my profile pic, though I might go back to that one with the mustache one day. I added a photo to the icon of this Substack which is what people see when they view the website.

Probably the best photo that I have of me lol.

Shoutout to Amelie for taking this picture.

A lot of these changes I just made could change in the future and they probably will.

Content-wise, nothing will change with this blog. But it is nice to make it more personal.

Anyways, I just wanted to give an update.

See ya later,
