The journey of a geek

When you were younger, you remember your parents despaired, were very frustrated with your addiction to your computer screen, joystick and video games that lay here and there on the floor of your room. No really, what idea they had there that offer you a computer for Christmas. Of course at that time, it was a desktop computer, the tower was a Boeing 747 noise when you turn it on, no way to play at night in secret!

In the playground, you were not really a boss, even far from it. In gym, it was worst of all, you had also tried to fake an asthma attack early in the sixth, but it did not really work and your sports teacher had followed you throughout your Education: no luck. Yet at home, this large mercenary prominent muscles, it was you! Or at least, did you have the features at the chagrin of your parents that you tirelessly repeated that it was not playing the computer that you would find a job. Well they were wrong!

For if you indeed like all teenagers started to tweak your video games, you are quickly moved into high gear. If you could not be as beautiful as Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, never mind, you become just as impressive hacker!

And that's how, year after year, you have completed your education, ranging from the dark side and light side of the force, drove the family computer once, contaminating the laptop with your ex usb virus infested again.

If we told your parents that you would find a job in IT, and more importantly as a senior executive, they would have probably laughed ... and yet that is what happened!
