Steady

I've been going at this Udemy class pretty handily. I've been getting stuck here and there and doing research to figure out these problems. It feels great when I'm able to research and figure out a problem. The class I've been taking really emphasizes that. He says that's what real programming is like so that's what I've been doing. It feels good to know that I've been building the skills I'll need to succeed at a real job. Everyday my confidence is growing with how well this is panning out. I'm about to put about 5 hours a day on average to my code , and although at sometimes it feels difficult and hard to continue I just keep pushing.

What's been helping me a lot is listening to motivational speakers. When I hear them talk about going after it and chasing my dreams it really helps me out. I liked Arnold Schwarzenegger a lot. He talked about having goals and purposes. He talks about hard work and dedication and being happy with what you are doing. Why wouldn't I be happy if I have the opportunity to chase my dreams and increase my knowledge on a daily basis. It's wonderful. Even when I get stuck I know the next day I'll come back to it and it'll be that much easier to understand. The other one is Dwayne Johnson. He talks about hard work. I love when he says "we call it clangin' and bangin'" he's talking about the gym but that's what I'm doing with my keyboard! The other thing he says is that there is absolutely no substitute for hard work. That is what makes me keep moving even if I'm not feeling it. Hard work pays off no matter what. If I put in the time I will get better. I may fail, but I will always grow. That's why I'm going to keep working hard.
