Reflections on my journey to becoming a product manager 🛣️
When I was about five years old my kindergarten teacher asked my class about our aspirations for the future. While the boys around me eagerly declared their dreams of becoming police officers, firefighters or footballers, I stood tall and declared: I wanna be a product manager.
(What I actually said was I want to be a firefighter, but it would’ve been a good story, don’t you think?)
Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I enjoyed building (and breaking) stuff. From Lego and wooden blocks, to more serious stuff such as building an impressive house in Sims, or building my own hospital in Theme Hospital (remember that game?). In high school I told everyone that I was going to become an architect. I even took design classes in order to get into college, but guess what? I failed the entrance exam. Thank goodness for that – architecture would not have been for me.

Instead of scrolling mindlessly through a social feed of updates, a new app called Thoughts offers a way to scroll through and collect inspirational content. Created by indie developer Henri Bredt, Thoughts is described as a “focused inspiration manager” that’s designed to help you remember things that inspired you, whether that’s hand-picked quotes, famous sayings from great thinkers, or even your own ideas you want to recall.
In addition, the app offers a way to browse inspirational stories through a Discover tab, where you can find new quotes to add to your library through curated collections — like quotes from stoic thinkers, lessons from mother nature, quotes dedicated to self-confidence, or those from a notable individual, like Mahatma Gandhi, for example.
