medialucky20··on Ask HN: How do you develop internal motivation?
I completely agree on vision point. every indivisual need to have clear vision on what you want to be in coming 1 month/year or couple of years. Good to have both short term and long term goals. achieving shortterm goals motivate for longterm goals. I give more importance to personal than professional.

I feel motivated when I look at my goals. Definitely I do sometimes feel down start thinking it is impossible to achieve. For such days I prepared list of things I achieved so far and I am grateful for. It can be as simple as the day I got independent and started earning, Bought new jewellery to my mom etc. These days are very special and bring lot of joy and inspiration to perform better and work toward my future goals.

Also never compare my journey with other people. everyone's journey is different. Having few common things doesn't mean you both are same with same level of capacities. each person's tolerance, will power, IQ different. This understanding made me to not get demotivated by looking at some peer achievements.

medialucky20··on Ask HN: I made a Covid-19 data visualization app, what else can I add to it?
It looks neat. Specially, I liked the last graph (Overall), it gives the volume of cases, status in a summary.

Just noticed - UK recoveries data looks incomplete. which data source are you using?is it not present in your data source or govt not providing it to public?

Just to add, at the beginning under "Latest cases" section adding 'Active Cases' count along with other 3 counts(Confirmed , Deaths, Recoveries) will give better idea on current status of the country.

is it possible to add another geographical graph showing top 5/10 countries with color codes? I used filter to check whichever country data I want to see. I would also like to know which countries have highest cases and maybe compare two countries graph?

If you build really useful product you definitely get succeed even with no prior experience on marketing because people buy it.

Your internship and research assistant are really good starting point. - Observe the work culture in your current workspace and ask feedback from your manager and coworkers. -Make a list of your weak and strong points.For me this helped me choosing the kind of work I love to do. Example: I like talking to people and solving problems,so I prefer customer support or BA role than a programmer.

Many online free training available - Be flexible with relocation if the role promise long-term career growth and build strong skillset for your profile.
medialucky20··on Ask HN: How to Find Career Mentors?
Finding good mentor is very hard if you don't have anyone in your close circle. I faced this problem 2 years back. I attended personal development session and one of the advise was to send email to ED's or MD's in your company whom you admire the most mentioning why and express your goal and seek for advise. I emailed 5-8 ED's across the region. For my surprise, no one in my office location responded, all responses were from different region. We had short meeting and I got opportunity to continue be in touch with 2 of them. We have bi-weekly 1-1 meeting. I am not looking for any promotion for now, but these meetings boosting my confidence to another level and I feel growth in my personality and at work.
