David Goggins is a mind blowing, one-in-a-million personality.
And his mother Jackie Goggins is no less of a person.
I am writing this today after completing the fourth chapter of his second (2nd for me) book “Never Finished”.
In this chapter he talks about how to overcome whatever that's holding you back.
David says to overcome anything, however big or small, you've gotta face it, feel it and analyze it, burn in your mind whatever you can learn about it to be better able respond when next time you confront it.
And the way to do that is: controlled anger and controlled exposure.
Almost as if to say that “you plan for your next episode of anger and exposure.”
Some lines from the chapter:
# "What you call hell, he calls home.”
# When your self-worth goes away and you don’t deal with or accept your demons, they will continue to own you, and you will become a bottom feeder.
On importance of pauses called "Hard Stops" in life:
# Hard Stops allow military units and individual soldiers to reorg. That includes reloading your empty magazines, taking inventory of your ammunition, and rearranging your gear so you have access to loaded weapons and anything else you may need in the hours ahead. You also must take a hard look at your battle plan and get a clear sense of what it is you’re facing and where it will lead.
David Goggins एक हैरान कर देने वाली, लाखों में एक मिलने वाली शख्सियत हैं।
और उनकी माँ Jackie Goggins भी किसी मायने में उनसे कम नहीं हैं।
मैं यह आज लिख रहा हूँ, उनकी दूसरी किताब (मेरे लिए दूसरी) “Never Finished” का चौथा अध्याय पूरा करने के बाद।
इस अध्याय में वह बात करते हैं कि जो कुछ भी आपको पीछे खींच रहा है, उसे कैसे पार किया जाए।
David कहते हैं कि किसी भी चीज़ को पार करने के लिए—चाहे वह कितनी भी बड़ी या छोटी क्यों न हो—आपको उसका सामना करना होगा, उसे महसूस करना होगा और उसका विश्लेषण करना होगा। उसके बारे में जो कुछ भी आप सीख सकते हैं, उसे अपने दिमाग में इतनी गहराई से बैठाना होगा कि अगली बार जब आपका सामना उससे हो, तो आप बेहतर ढंग से प्रतिक्रिया दे सकें।
और ऐसा करने का तरीका है: नियंत्रित क्रोध (Controlled Anger) और नियंत्रित सामना (Controlled Exposure)।
लगभग ऐसा, जैसे वह कह रहे हों कि: “अपने अगले गुस्से और अगले सामना करने वाले क्षण की पहले से तैयारी करो।”
अध्याय की कुछ पंक्तियाँ:
# “जिसे तुम नर्क कहते हो, वह उसे अपना घर कहता है।”
# जब आपका आत्म-मूल्य (self-worth) खत्म हो जाता है और आप अपने भीतर के राक्षसों का सामना नहीं करते या उन्हें स्वीकार नहीं करते, तो वे लगातार आप पर हावी होते रहेंगे और अंततः आप सबसे निचले स्तर पर पहुँच जाओगे।
ज़िंदगी में “Hard Stops” यानी ठहराव के महत्व पर:
# Hard Stops सैन्य इकाइयों और व्यक्तिगत सैनिकों को खुद को फिर से व्यवस्थित करने का अवसर देते हैं। इसमें खाली मैगज़ीन को दोबारा भरना, अपने गोला-बारूद का जायज़ा लेना और अपने सामान को इस तरह व्यवस्थित करना शामिल है कि आगे आने वाले घंटों में भरे हुए हथियारों और ज़रूरत की दूसरी चीज़ों तक आसानी से पहुँचा जा सके। आपको अपनी युद्ध-योजना पर भी एक कठोर नज़र डालनी होती है और यह स्पष्ट रूप से समझना होता है कि आपके सामने क्या है और वह आपको कहाँ ले जाएगा।

If the plugin is auth_socket, change it to caching_sha2_password or mysql_native_password

If you really need mysql_native_password (e.g., for an old client)
You can try to load the plugin manually:
Check if the plugin is listed (but disabled):
sql> SHOW PLUGINS;
Look for mysql_native_password in the list. If it’s there but not active, you may need to enable it (** AS DESCRIBED BELOW IN #10 **).
If it’s completely missing, load it:
sql> INSTALL PLUGIN mysql_native_password SONAME 'mysql_native_password.so';
Then retry your ALTER USER ... WITH mysql_native_password ... command.
If the INSTALL PLUGIN fails, the plugin library might not be present – check your MySQL installation. In that case, stick with caching_sha2_password; almost all modern clients support it.

*** Only if you absolutely need mysql_native_password ***
If you have a very old client/library that doesn't support caching_sha2_password, you can re-enable the disabled plugin.
Because the plugin is built-in but disabled, you cannot simply INSTALL it—you must enable it in the server configuration and restart MySQL.
Step 1: Edit the MySQL config file:
bashsudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Step 2: Add this line under the [mysqld] section:
ini[mysqld]
mysql_native_password=ON
Step 3: Save the file and restart MySQL:
bashsudo systemctl restart mysql
Step 4: Now the plugin will show ACTIVE. Log in with sudo and change the root user:
sql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';
sql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now test without sudo—it will also work.

Follow these steps to set up a connection from DBeaver to your locally installed MySQL server (Ubuntu 25.04, MySQL 8.0.41).
Step 1: Launch DBeaver and create a new connection
Open DBeaver.
Create a new connection using one of these methods:
Click the New Database Connection button in the toolbar.
Go to Database → New Database Connection in the main menu.
Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ + Shift + N (macOS).
Step 2: Select the MySQL driver
In the “Connect to a database” window, type MySQL in the search bar to filter drivers.
Choose the correct driver for your version:
MySQL 8 and later → select MySQL (the default driver).
MySQL 5.x → select MySQL 5.
MySQL 4.x or older → select MySQL (old).
Since your server is MySQL 8.0.41, choose the MySQL driver.
Step 3: Configure the connection details
After selecting the driver, click Next. On the Main tab of the Connection Settings screen, fill in the following:
Field
Value for your setup
Host
localhost or 127.0.0.1 (the MySQL server is on your machine)
Port
3306 (default – leave as is unless you changed it)
Database
Leave blank (to see all databases) or enter a specific database name
Username
Typically root for a fresh Ubuntu installation
Password
Enter the root password you set during MySQL installation
💡 Note: If you didn’t set a password and are using the default auth_socket plugin, you may need to connect as root without a password, or set one using sudo mysql and ALTER USER.
Step 4: Test and finish
Click the Test Connection button.
If DBeaver prompts to download the JDBC driver, confirm the download.
If the test is successful, you’ll see a confirmation message.
Click Finish to save the connection.
The new connection will appear in the Database Navigator panel on the left. You can now browse and manage your MySQL databases directly from DBeaver.
Note: Set password for "root" user before trying to access MySQL using DBeaver using above steps
