I believe that Life is a Spoon: a spoon that just stirs and stirs because that's its nature!
But how do we clear our drek so we don’t get confused and lose our balance? How do we make lemonade out of the lemons life throws at us?
Yes, programming is a good deal. An excellent cut for those who can hit it big. But how do we come out of the shade? How do we excel as reality settles in?
Several videos have been watched; several lessons have been attended. Still, some thirst needs to be quenched. These, among others, make us worried–sad, angry, confused, depressed, depleted or stressed, which makes it seem like this is what life is all about, and you can hardly find the bright, joyful, loving moments between all the ‘static'.
But you know what? All developers were once beginners; everyone indeed passed through this phase. So it’s quite a task to view life as it is, just a spoon. It’s not personal at all.
The ability to make lemonade out of every shade of lemons life throws at us differentiates and makes us unique.
Here are few tips to help you can become better a developer and drop the beginner's badge:
Be optimistic: I believe you have a goal you're willing and eager to achieve for choosing this path. Being optimistic about your goals makes you achieve your goals; it’s also a step to improve you.
Choose a clear path and set up milestones for yourself: Celebrate the little wins upon reaching each milestone.
Use the search engine more often than hanging your head when confused about the problem you're about to solve. There are thousands of people who have also tried it.
Join a community: there are many communities of developers, virtual meetups a developer can join to enhance self-development and growth.
Befriend your keyboard: Yes, be a friend to your gadget; remember, your acquaintance with your device can make you or mar you. Develop the coding mode, at all times, try doing something. Doing this can make your today better than your yesterday.
In conclusion, as cloudy as things may be now. There is undoubtedly a light at the end of all tunnels.
Thanks for reading.
